I recently stayed at Royal Sun for a week, and I must say, this hotel far exceeded my expectations. Though rated as a 3-star establishment, it truly deserves 4-star plus recognition for its exceptional service, amenities, and overall experience.
From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and every interaction with the staff was met with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. They were incredibly attentive and always ready to assist with any request.
The room was impeccably clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The attention to detail was evident, with thoughtful touches such as complimentary bottled water, high-quality toiletries. The room also featured modern amenities, including a flat-screen TV and free high-speed Wi-Fi.
The hotel's amenities rival those of higher-rated establishments. The on-site restaurant served delicious, well-prepared meals with a diverse menu catering to various tastes. The breakfast buffet was particularly impressive, offering a wide selection of fresh and tasty options. The fitness center was well-equipped, and the pool area was a perfect spot to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing.
The hotel's location is ideal, situated in a convenient area with easy access to major attractions and public transportation. Despite being in a bustling part of town, the hotel itself was a serene oasis, providing shuttle to the center of Chania at the old port.
My stay at Royal Sun was nothing short of delightful. The exceptional service, comfortable accommodations, and outstanding amenities make this hotel stand out from its 3-star rating. I wholeheartedly recommend Royal Sun to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable stay. This hidden gem deserves every bit of a 4-star plus rating and I look forward to returning in the...

Read moreReception at check in was rude and annoyed before I even approached, so you can imagine the disappointment I experienced during that encounter. The front desk staff rotated the following day and during checkout and they were professional and pleasant to deal with. My initial room had mold, the second and third rooms provided had the same issues but one was recently painted over. Since they refused a refund I endured. My room was cleaned daily but the towels provided after day two needs to be retired, might be a good idea to bring your own towels. Other than being cleaned the rooms are poorly maintained, after the initial superficial appearance you start to notice wall papers coming off and such. The rooms are not soundproof, all the conversions being had on the other rooms could be heard in my room, even a door opening had me feeling like it was being opened in my room. They have a shuttle service to city center which could be a plus, just be sure to confirm pick up and drop offs. The airport shuttle is on request and at an additional charge. The restaurant on the third floor has gorgeous views and the food is good. I liked the breakfast selections even though it was redundant. There is self parking on the property. The gym is dated and was in disarray the few times I tried to use it. Clearly not being cleaned as frequently as it should. Please see attached pictures...
