15th-century mansion steps from Chania's Venetian Harbour
Location & History
Nostos Hotel occupies a well-preserved mansion dating back to the 1400s, located at the heart of Chania's Old Venetian Town. The hotel is 300 metres from the main market and 300 metres from the nearest beach, with the central port of Chania 6 km away. Guests step outside directly into the bustle of the harbour, surrounded by local taverns and shops, while the hotel itself remains quiet.
Rooms & Comfort
Each of the 12 traditionally decorated rooms is equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a safe. Some units offer scenic views over the Venetian Harbour, and the family apartment split-level layout provides separate sleeping areas, with a bed nook on an upper deck. The rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the harbour and old town, accessible for all guests to enjoy.
Services & Amenities
The hotel provides a tour desk, express check-in/check-out, and invoice provided for business travellers. Daily housekeeping, laundry, and ironing service are available, along with a snack bar and wine/champagne options. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, and the reception staff can arrange taxi bookings and local excursions.
Pet-Friendly Arrangements
Nostos Hotel accepts small dogs, as confirmed by a solo traveller who stayed with their pet. The staff are accommodating and can provide information on nearby areas suitable for dogs. Guests should note that the historical building has steep stairs and no elevator, which may affect mobility.
Dining & Breakfast
An authentic local breakfast is offered each morning, with options including an English Breakfast noted by guests. The hotel has a coffee house on site and a bar, plus breakfast can be served in the room upon request. Nearby, within short walking distance, dozens of local taverns and restaurants surround the hotel, offering Cretan cuisine.
