Our stay at the Royal Sun Hotel was perfect. The room with the sea view and balcony was of a high standard, clean and comfortable. The Hill restaurant, where we ate breakfast each day, had a stunning view overlooking the old port and the sea, and was a delight to sit at each morning. The breakfast choice and quality was probably the best we’ve ever experienced. The pool was great with that brilliant view and plenty of chairs and sunbeds to choose from. All the staff were so friendly and good natured it made the stay perfect. The reception staff were always happy, willing to help, full of information and again probably the best we’ve come across. The hotel provides a shuttle mini bus to transport the guests to and from the town of Chania. We definitely recommend the Royal Sun Hotel if you are visiting Chania.

We stayed 15 days at the hotel, a nice stay. The room is small and I like it brighter, especially the bathroom, otherwise nice view, good service, a good restaurant and has a pool and sun deck. Nikos from the reception who is professional and super helpful makes up for all the short comings of the hotel.

This hotel is amazing, the only issue I had was with the hours for the gym. It didn’t open until 9am and from at 2pm till 5pm, then closed again at 9pm. While I understand the need to keep things quiet for other guests, it wasn't conducive for traveling. No early morning workout before breakfast.

Room was spotlessly clean, the large sea view balcony was our favourite part! The pool was gorgeous and we loved being able to place orders to be delivered poolside. The breakfast was top of the line with unlimited options, both hot and cold, and it was served on the rooftop offering outstanding views. Dinner at the restaurant, The Hill, was outstanding. The shuttle service to Old Town was extremely efficient and reliable. I highly recommend this hotel! The only con was the teeny shower & would have loved some drawer space to be able to unpack.

The service was really unfriendly, with exception of 3 people. Getting room service was always an issue because of comprehension and if we did want to approach them their attitude just put us off. Rolling eyes and sighs whilst customers made requests at breakfast was absolutely shocking. I ordered a salmon salad and whilst it was lovely and Fresh there was a bit of plastic in the food.
