Hotel Filoxenia

The best reception ever, we checked in at the reception (2 hours before check-in time) then we were offered delicious tapas with "raki" the local liquor. The people were so hospitable! A great room close to a swimming beach and around the corner from the center. Highly recommended!

After a wonderful stay in Rethymno, we moved to Chania; the Filoxenia hotel is in a fantastic location, just outside the chaos of the Venetian port and the old town but reachable in a few minutes, but still has many bars and restaurants in the street in front so you don't have to move to have dinner if you don't feel like it. The hotel is quite new, nice, the room comfortable, nothing special, but what I want to underline and which is the real must have of the place is the superb kindness and helpfulness of the owner, a lovely and very kind person ready to solve everything. Every evening he helped us with parking the car, sometimes he let us leave it in front of a driveway in front and then agreed with the owners to move the car in case a parking space became free; one evening my 3 year old daughter started crying because she wanted a banana (since every time we passed by he made her find one), but he poor guy didn't have one..... she was hard done by because we had been to Elafonissi, a big day, it was definitely a tantrum so much so that I told him not to worry. Well, he went out on his scooter at 9pm to go and look for bananas for her! Here we are beyond kindness...... a truly special person who I want to thank enormously. Breakfast was agreed with a hotel opposite and so we go and have it there, there are those classic international buffets with every possible and imaginable desire....... there is a large parking lot right in front, but in my case it was practically impossible to find a place and even get in so much was the queue, without him I really wouldn't have known what to do! THANK YOU for everything, you are incredible people.

Clean, quite, cheap..

Very lovely hotel just 50 meters from beach, where you can swim, and close to Venetian old por. Owner Nikos is gentleman of old school, he does his best to make you feel welcome. Thank you Sir Nikos to organize a renting car for us. Cause of location and host I recommend this hotel to everyone.

Wonderful hospitality, thank you nikos!!

Excellent stay. We had an amazing experience in the hotel and in this beautiful city. Mr. Nikos is a very kind host that gives you great tips, his family is also lovely. Rooms are always clean, provided with everything you may need and very comfortable. Everything is near by in a walking distance. Theres a little beach right in front of the hotel, cafes and restaurants and the old harbour is just a few steps away. Wont forget the experience. Missing it already. Definitely recommend!
