We couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming team for our engagement holiday. From the moment we booked the holiday the whole experience was brilliant, we were truly treat like family. Gorgeous views from the rooftop infinity pool and bar, comfortable beds and modern fresh rooms. Perfectly located inbetween the old town and Nea Chora Beach, we were never stuck for things to do. We can’t thank everyone enough for making our visit to Chania so special, we will definitely be returning.

Renata was the reception staff who welcomed us gave us loads of recommendations for restaurants nearby and was very welcoming! She definitely made our stay so much more enjoyable. The hotel is small but we loved that it’s quiet and the view from the balcony is just amazing. Enjoyed our stay in Chania a lot and hope to be back!

We had 8 days of pure relaxation on our honeymoon at the SanSal hotel.
The hotel is modern. Our room was lovely and somehow always cool in high temperature.
Amazing view from our balcony.
The staff are super friendly.
We loved spending time on the roof top pool area.
Its a short walk to beaches and into the brilliant old town
I would 💯 recommend this hotel if you are thinking of staying in Chania.
We will come back again.

Absolutely perfect!!! Location was excellent…walks of 10 minutes put you in the best restaurants and shops. Free parking, wonderful breakfasts and bar service…amazingly professional and caring staff…clean and comfortable rooms with balconies overlooking the water and an infinity pool on the top floor that does the same! Would fully recommend and would stay there again! Opt for 4th or 5th floor…the 6th if r can afford it!

Amazing.
The hotel is phenomenal, the staff are even better.
This will always be our go to place for Chania from now on. Would go back to Chania just to stay here. The breakfast was packed with something for everyone, everything really tasty.
The location to everything is excellent.
There was major building work going on over the road, but we didn’t hear a thing from our room.
This is by far the best hotel we have stayed in

This is one of the nicer hotels in Chania. The included breakfast buffet was wonderful— plentiful and with many options. The staff were all friendly and nice. There is a rooftop pool and lounge chairs with a bar that had amazing views and was a great amenity we enjoyed, especially for watching the sunset over a drink. The beds were comfortable.
The downside for us was that it was not quiet, with noise heard from the hallways and adjacent rooms and the street, requiring ear plugs. Also, one of our 2 sinks in the bathroom was non-functioning due to a leak, and the shower was unusable due to it smelling like sewage. Thankfully there was a separate bathtub to use, but less convenient.

This was our first time to Greece and we booked sansal based on reviews and how close it was to the ocean. When we arrived the staff were so great and very helpful, they were also very friendly and gave good recommendations where to visit and where to eat. We will be staying here when we come back!

Incredible hotel which we’d recommend wholeheartedly! Hotel staff went out of their way to offer the warmest Greek welcome and first class service, especially Apostolos, Renata, Anna-Maria and the other young man who served breakfast. Hotel is beautifully decorated, with stunning sea view rooms and a wonderful roof terrace. Delightful breakfast with plenty of local treats to sample. Very close to both ports and right in the centre, but quiet. We hope we’ll be back! Efharisto poli!

It’s a really nice experience! The hotel staff also prepare me a breakfast box because I have to catch an early flight and is going to miss the buffet. It’s really nice of them to do that! The location is close to Chana old town, it’s only a 5-10 minute walk. Would stay again

Our stay at SanSal Hotel was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to Harris. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us with genuine warmth and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. His recommendations were spot-on, and his kindness made us feel like we were staying with a friend, not just at a hotel. The hotel itself is modern, spotless, and perfectly located—beautiful rooms with stunning views. But it’s the exceptional service, especially from Harris, that truly sets SanSal apart. Thank you for everything, Harris—we can’t wait to return!

The location right beside the harbour was incredible. Easy walk to the lighthouse and Resturant’s. Rooms are beautiful and very new. Bed are comfortable and staff was very helpful. The breakfast was amazing. The pools were very nice. And the view from the rooftop at sunset was magical. Would definitely recommend staying here for all these reasons.
Only thing I would change, putting in a fridge that is actually cold and the glass in the bathroom made privacy a little interesting sometimes. Plus the room with the pool, the balcony was always flooded and wet.
Regardless of this, would stay again and loved everyday we were there.
