Located in Chania Town, 700 metres from Nea Chora Beach, Morum City Hotel Chania provides accommodation with a fitness centre, private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant. This 4-star hotel offers a bar. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Perfect location- close to everything, and at the same time- on a little street. The stuff was very polite and helpful- they recommend us one of the best restaurants (not for the tourists, but for good eating…), one of the best beaches (not the popular ones) and they were there for you all the time, even in the nights! The rooms are small but very clean. Next stay in Chania definitely will be at this hotel!

Perfectly located on the Blue Flag Award winning sandy beach of Amoudara with stunning views from around the resort, Paralos Lifestyle Beach Adults Only features 5 sharing and 2 common seasonal outdoor swimming pools. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Guests can make use of a garden. I really have to say, I'm travaling a lot (4-6 times per year to the different Countrys-Places) and in the most of the time, the hotels doesn't look or fullfil the expectations. Always its something, which gives you the feeling, that the description or pictures are not 100% right or matching with the real situation. That's why I said, now I will write a review, because they really deserved that at all! From the reception employees till to the cleaning ladies! When we arrived, we stood in the front of the new building. We get a friendly welcome, nice room and walked to the beach. I walked around and checked the pool areas and dine opportunities. I really was surprised that everything looked same like pictures and descrition. I like that is a hotel size between Boutique Hotel and grand Resort. If you are looking for a Hotel with good chill opportunities and good food, thats your place. We loved the food (try the Gyros Chicken and Mussels which are cooked in Uzo), furnishing style, pool and beach area, employees (Eleni by the Pool area, very friendly women) and the vibes of all of them😀 You are really close to Heraklion City, 10min by taxi around 15Euro per way and 20min to the airport around 30Euro per way. Spa Massage first 10min are for free, we booked 30min more (40min) was also really good. The a la Carte restaurant was a dream of location and ambience, also food with ***** level. We were there for 3 nights and I wished we can stay longer, so that means....For sure I will come back again! 🥰
