Find the Cheap Vamvakopoulo Hotels

This is a lovely hotel, very clean, friendly and welcoming staff, great location, as can walk to a few nearby beaches, supermarkets and some local tavernas. Unfortunately we were delayed by 10 hours traveling from London to Chania, and i communicated this to the hotel. They made sure that someone was there to greet us on arrival and she recommended us the local taverna. The room was clean and spacious with two complimentary bottles of water - and one of them i accidentally dropped in the room! The team were very helpful and helped me clear this up. Also once I checked out and went to my new hotel in Chania, i realized i left my credit card inn the safe, so rang back up and they found it and i went to collect it from them later on in the day. The hotel during my stay, the guest were mainly 'boomer' couples and they get up incredibly early and like to reserve their sunbeds (even though there is a note in the room to do not do that). just one thing i think may need to be looked in the height of summer, as if the hotel is full there are not enough loungers. But then, there are a few beaches nearby. Breakfast I cannot really comment on as it was very hot while I was there and I did not have that much of an appetite.

We looked for a place in Chania for our last days on holiday and found Theos Village by reading the reviews. The reviews were right! A lovely family always smiling and giving you a warm welcome, when you came for the first time, but also every time you walk by. We were a family of four and had a big room with great facilities and a huge veranda! We used the kitchen every day and loved that we had our own door to go out on the veranda when the kids slept in the living room. A bit too warm to stay the day by the pool, but we layed there after the beach. The swimming poolhas different depths, genius for the kids. Just a 10 minute walk to the beach, we went to Kladissos beach (lovely place woth not so many tourists). Thank you for 3 great days, would highly recommend if you are staying in Chania!

We arrived in beautiful Chania and were dropped off on the main road opposite the little track up to the Nireas. I had read TA reviews so knew to expect that Christos, the owner, would offer us a room upgrade but we were happy with our original room which was Apt 24 on the ground floor with a fantastic large balcony opening straight onto the pool area. We paid €5 a night for air con which was really powerful, and €10 for the safe. The room was dated but more than adequate for us as we are used to Greek accommodation. There were 2 beds pushed together and then a single bed near the door which my son slept in. There was a 2 ring hob, microwave and kettle and basic utensils but we only ate breakfast in the apartment so it was more than enough. I think you would struggle to conjure up a Cordon Bleu meal though but with so many fabulous restaurants on the doorstep, it wasn’t a worry for us. There were a few things that made us chuckle…. the apartment door had been hung the wrong way so the handle was inside the room and not on the outside 🤣 and the usual Greek plumbing scenario with the shower head on the wall but the shower screen on the other side of the shower meaning the floor got soaked 🫣 but hey, it’s Greece 🇬🇷 The maid came in every day except a Sunday and the sheets/towels were changed regularly. There was a drying rack on the patio for hanging wet beach stuff up. Plenty of socket points and the beds were super comfy. The pool area was quiet but we only used it in the afternoons once we came back from the beach. There were always sunbeds and Christos was either there or available by WhatsApp. The WiFi worked fine in our rooms and by the pool. Kato Doratso is a residential suburb just 4km outside of Chania so a perfect location for us. Just down the little road from the hotel is a supermarket on the corner for all your essentials/bottles of water. There were 4 beaches within walking distance and we chose Sunset Beach due to the stunning clear water. It’s a bay so no tide and it was shallow for a great way out meaning our son could happily swim and play without us worrying too much. There was a bar on the beach and the owner did a mean Freddo Cappuccino ☕️ 👌🏽 You could buy salads, hot snacks and sandwiches, ice creams, crisps and drinks there. There were also chargeable sunbeds and parasols and you could hire a kayak or paddle board. There was another shop near the start of the hotels to the left of the bay. We bought a couple of parasols from the shop and lay on the beach. It was full of local families and we thoroughly enjoyed mixing with them. The bus into Chania is the #21. Come out of the hotel, down onto the main road and take a right along the path. Just past the car garage there’s a bus stop and a ticket machine. You need the exact change and it’s €1.10 each into town (€2 if you pay on the bus) When you are is in Chania, as you get off, there’s a ticket machine and a kiosk to buy return tickets and you can catch the bus back

From the very beginning the owner welcomed us with such care. The place itself it’s located perfectly outside the rush of people but yet still so close to the city of Chania (8/10mins by car). The establishment is super nice and well kept surrounded by bamboo and olive trees. The rooms are near each other and most of them are overlooking the pool. Room itself was very very clean and towels,bedsheets,products were smelling really nice. You can see that the place is well maintained and taken very good care of! It’s also PET FRIENDLY with stray cats(which you’ll see either in the morning or at night without even bothering you) another reason why we booked this establishment as we brought our own dog which was well accepted without any additional costs or useless comments. Our holiday is still ongoing as we booked for 5 days but it’s a must to leave a positive comment to such a beautiful place and people. To who ever sees this post don’t think twice and just book it! You’ll see us DEFINITELY again! Thanks for hosting us. I.Z
