Nireas Hotel — Hotel in Municipality of Chania

My son and I. Had a fantastic week at the Nireas. 1 bedroom apartment was very roomy with an enormous outside terrace. We were at the end on the ground floor with no passing traffic and no one to overlook, so totally private. Apartment was clean - and cleaning ladies did a great and unobtrusive job of keeping it that way. I found the owner very friendly and responsive. I texted him with an issue with our lock and he was there in less than a minute! We only met the owners dog once which we were disappointed about as we were missing our own, but it did mean that nireas would be totally fine for those who don’t like dogs. Pool was big and clean, always able to get sun beds. Air con was very effective and worth every penny. Kitchen tiny but perfectly adequate and it had a kettle and big mugs, microwave, crockery and a couple of saucepans. Fine for us. Hotel was very quiet, as the reviews say, and Kato Daratso similarly so. We found that almost everyone seems to head for the beach in the evening, wish we’d realised sooner. We always went for the middle beach which was beautiful. No issue for us getting sun beds, the guy put out more for us. We were by the fantastic beach cafe to the left looking at the sea. Back to the hotel, liked the mini supermarket opposite, lots there and it was always rewarding getting a smile out of the owner! But there are mini markets all along the main road and two enormous supermarkets just past the bmw garage (walk down to the main road and turn right). Only a 10 minute walk, and gave great options for self-catering. Loads of restaurants locally, we especially liked the ones nearer to the beach although we had our best and cheapest meals in chania. 21 bus is amazing. Reliable, air conditioned and quick. Turn right at the main road to the stop opposite the bmw garage to use the ticket machine which gives you €1.20 tickets into town, cheaper than buying on the bus. In Chania, recommend the morning food tour with Christos, also the archaeological museum which is amazing. Also went to elafonissi beach on a tour which was a great tour but such a busy beach so I wouldn’t recommend in the school holidays. Fabulous holiday here. So much to do and we only scratched the surface. We never go anywhere twice but I’m already booked to come next year. Thanks to...

We had a lovely stay at Nireas Hotel, the location was good, up a quiet hill away from the main road but only a short walk to a lovely sandy beach with clear sea, and a €15 taxi or €1.20 bus into Chania old town. There are lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance of the hotel (we loved Orexi) plus small shops that sell the essentials and more, and a lidl about 8 minutes walk away.

The apartment was clean and had the essentials for a self catering holiday, with a decent size fridge containing a freezer. All the staff at the hotel were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and they are very friendly. Christos (I think the owner?) was always around when needed and when we checked he let us know if he wasn't around he can be contacted by whatsapp. He helped us get a taxi to an excursion we pre-booked with TUI in another town and directed us on getting to Chania by bus. He has a LOVELY dog called Petra that he brings to the hotel, she's very quiet and so well behaved, no jumping up or barking etc, she's not even distracted around the cats that have made themselves at home here.

Breakfast is served at the pool bar, there's plenty to choose from with local dishes and standard breakfast items. Christos asked if we have any preferences on what we'd like for breakfast when we arrived. During our stay, there was delicious cheese pie in filo pastry, spinach and cheese pastry, a sweet vanilla/cinnamon pastry (maybe Bougatsa?), bread, cereal, eggs, bacon etc.

Getting a sunbed around the pool was never an issue during our stay although there were some times during the day where hardly any of the beds had shade, so we went for lunch or had a seat at the pool bar for a bit...

We had a fantastic stay at Nireas hotel. We had two ground floor rooms that backed onto a gorgeous, lovely peaceful pool and one other studio. |The rooms were very spacious, had 3 beds and great shower room too. |We had a wheelchair and no problems with access in the hotel, although there is a hill up to the hotel.|The cleaner did an exceptional job every day, and it was lovely to be greeted by a different towel arrangement on the beds.|The balcony's were spacious and perfect for lunch or to sit together in the evening.|The hotel is set back from the main road, so far enough away from the noise but close enough to shops, restaurants, and beaches are about 10 mins walk. |The pool bar was a welcome bonus with cold bottles of water, beers and cocktails. Pina Colada highly recommend. |Christos, the owner, was fantastic helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. He recommend trips, restaurants and was kind and helpful.  Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety  of choices. The pool was so clean and there wasn’t a rush for the sunbeds!|Various Greek "supermarkets" are about a minute away at bottom of hill.|Cafe and Crepe bar 2 mins away.|Lots of taverna's close by, if you want beautful views then Artemis down the road to the Golden Bay beach is fabulous.  Beautiful setting with Greek dancing and fireworks. |The Farmers restaurant also serves great seafood.|Beaches were beautiful and there is even a Lidl in this resort about 10 -15 mins walk. |We all said we would go back to Nireas as it's a haven of beauty where you feel so welcome and relaxed....
