Monte Vardia | Hotel in Halepa, Crete

“First off, this hotel is in one of the most perfect locations in Chania. There is a bus stop within walking distance from it, and it takes 10-15 minutes to get downtown. The hotel staff made me feel so welcomed and comfortable throughout my entire stay. I will be back in Chania and I will be staying here again. Highly recommended.”

“We arrived late but given such a warm welcome - along with welcome drinks brought to the 2nd floor deck. That attitude continued throughout our 2 night stay. Our room was spacious, clean, great a/c. We enjoyed the pool both days. Breakfast had lots of options. I would highly recommend this hotel!”

“We had a short stay here while exploring the West side of Crete. We were able to check in late (fortunately its quite close to the airport), the breakfast was good and had a great variety, and we enjoyed the pool. Cell reception was not great but the wifi helped make up for that. We decided to eat by the pool and tried the gyros pizza- it was amazing (so much so we decided to stop by and order it again before flying out of Crete). The staff and owner were very nice and accommodating.”

“Exceptional experience. It was great to meet the family. Very clean and tidy rooms with plenty of space. Very close to the airpot and VERY friendly staff. Would love to visit again. ”

“This is an excellent hotel. We stayed for three nights and the best thing was the staff- being a family run business the staff was small. Helen was exceptionally amiable and warm and made the stay. On arrival. she greeted us with a mass of maps and plans, recommendations on where to go, eat etc. She was also kind enough to upgrade our rooms for free, as well as allow us to checkout at any time. The rest of the family were equally as friendly. I recommend this hotel to any holiday makers. ”

“Staff incredibly nice. They arranged a cab for me the next morning. English is spoken well. Room was very comfortable and clean.”

“Nice relaxing location with easy bus access to the centre of chania. Also easy access to stavros beach which was great with convenient lounger service for drinks, snacks etc. This part of our holiday was to charge the batteries for the second part with our very active 3yo grandson. We had a great time”

“Eleni and all the staff at Monte Vardia could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Right from when we made the booking in March, Eleni provided really excellent and helpful advice to help with our preparations. Our stay was very relaxing, and the hotel accommodated any and every request with a smile. The food was great - quite a basic breakfast bar, but still sufficient choice, and the option of fresh Greek yoghurt or eggs and bacon, all freshly prepared. Lunch and dinner dishes were all excellent, with no disappointments on quality or quantity. The hotel is a little outside Chania, so a hire car is recommended. But its location makes it peaceful, and there are fabulous views over Chania town and beyond. Some of the fixtures and fittings in the hotel seem a little dated, but that didn't matter at all. The pool was fabulous, never crowded and always clean.”

“The hotel staff, at front desk, in the restaurant or elsewhere are sincerely friendly and helpfull. They really made us feel welcome. Our hotelroom was comfortable, spacious and clean. The breakfast is very good with a wide range of choices. Eggs, are made freshly every morning, just the way you want them. You can enjoy your breakfast inside the restaurant or outside in the shade next to the swimming pool. The second floor has a communal terrace with a great view over Chania and the sea. ”

“We stayed at this lovely hotel for 11 nights and it was pure relaxation. It's away from the crowds of chania town so unless you hire a car then it's a good walk to most places. Eleni and her family are the most wonderful hosts and made us feel so very welcome. This hotel comes highly recommended on all counts”
