Elia Fatma Boutique Hotel - Adults Only in Chania Town

Cute and quaint boutique hotel. Don’t expect much, but that’s okay, you’re there for the charm, experience and location!

My particular room was perfect for 1 person, but would not be comfortable for two - which was fine since I was meeting family after Crete. If you aren’t looking for a lot of bells and whistles, this probably works.

Be prepared to roll your luggage down the street! Cars can’t enter after a certain point.

The staff was extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure that we enjoyed our stay in Chania. Their recommendations on aight to aee and restaurants to eat at were spot on.

The hotel is beautiful and located in the heart of the old town . WEMe even got a room upgrade!

I loved this hotel!!!! It was so cute, staff was really nice and helpful at the front desk.

Excellent location in the old town, you can walk everywhere and there are lots of great restaurants nearby. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the street, and with the windows closed at night it was very quiet. The bed was comfortable. The shower area could use a refresh, the bathroom is a bit fatigued looking. The television in our room was non-functioning, and the WIFI is very weak. The AC was good. We had to go to another hotel down the street for the reception, our hotel just had an empty desk. We did get breakfast in our hotel, which was fine but didn’t have much in the way of fresh fruit. (A few tired apple slices, some mushy kiwi fruit, a few slices of pineapple). I am moved to write this review because the hotel clearly advertised “free parking”. This is a white unicorn. We went out at 11 pm and at 6 am on several occasions and never once found a spot on the street identified by the hotel as the free parking. We ended up parking at Parking Plaza, Pireos 3, Chania which is a 350 meter walk from the hotel and is next to a handy supermarket. (We bought coffee pods there as the hotel only provides enough for one day). The Parking Plaza costs 26 Euros per day, but has an elevator. So we were able to park, get our suitcases up to the street, and trundle them over to the hotel without too much problem. We had two sets of stairs to climb in the hotel to get to our room. There was no hotel porter service we were aware of. So if you have any mobility issues, be aware there is no elevator or help at the hotel, and also be aware that parking on the street for free would only be found by the most lucky. There is NO PARKING within the Old Town. Any parking you might see is only for residents who have a special permit.

Elia Fatma was perfect for me. A small, beautiful, well-looked after, adults only hotel, with delightful staff, Ideally located for me and my stay.

I can totally recommend this place. The rooftop was great. The location super central. The breakfast buffet had literally all one need. I don’t wanna criticise much. The hotel is great. The room was nice. It would’ve been just great to have some shower mat every day. Also, there’s a coffee machine on the room but we only got two capsules right at the beginning. Furthermore, there were just 5 hangers in the wardrobe. A little less for so many wardrobes and two persons. I would also recommend to remove all the thick pillows, blankets and bed sheets, which are stored in these wardrobe in the summer months. These are taking lots of space and the wardrobes were anyway a little tiny. That’s all…

What a charming hotel right in the heart of old Chania. The small hotel is not on the water, but you check in to a sister property that is. The first floor of Elia Fatma hotel serves as the dining room for the two hotel. The decor is very unique, quite hard to describe, but very pleasant with a lot of color. The bed was comfortable, shower worked well. and A/C was very much appreciated. There is a lot of action on the street around the corner, but the alley the hotel was on was very quiet. What was amazing was the breakfast buffet. The room was very bright with large glass windows opening onto the street, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The variety of offering was unbelievable; we never had to eat the same thing twice. So all in all, a quiet hotel with interesting decor, centrally located and all at an amazing price.
