We love to stay there room, perfect nice pool and not far from Chania and beautiful beach of the west side. A really nice place!
What a joy this place is! From start to finish every aspect of staying at Kanso was perfect- clean, comfortable, excellent pool, and felt immediately welcomed and like you were part of a family. Only bad thing about it was having to leave… Hope to one day return. For longer.
Really nicely cared for. Very quiet feel. Staff always on hand....not that we needed them much. Homely feel with great garden area and pool. Super relaxed

We had a great stay at Kanso rooms! The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfy! Staff was very helpfully and friendly! Easy bus route to get to Chania, but a car needed to get around to the rest of the island! Would recommend anyone to stay here!
The host was super friendly and readily asked all our questions and made recommendations (some nice local places to eat). The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The area is quiet, but only a 15 to 20 minute drive to Old town.
We stayed for 4 nights, and it was a perfect start to our Greek adventures.
Thank you for a great stay, Vassillis.

Wonderful Stay at Kanso Rooms!
We had a fantastic stay at Kanso Rooms. The hotel is very nice—modern, clean, and well-maintained. The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The location is perfect: peaceful and quiet, yet just a short drive to Chania and close to all the main attractions in the area. We especially loved that it was only a 5-minute walk to our favorite restaurant!
We definitely recommend staying here and would absolutely come back again!

The pool area was super cool and unique. The staff were so helpful and nice! :)
The property manager, Vasilis and his wife, were easily available and helpful with any questions. The room itself was very cute and Mene & Ethie (I’m sorry if I don’t have the names quite right), were friendly and kept the room tidy and clean. I stayed for two weeks and highly recommend

It was such a lovely stay. It exceeded our expectation. The room was clean and kept clean during our stay. Staff was politely and there for us. Great location - away from the city noise and yet just couple of minutes from it, close to beaches. Perfect for families
The property is outstanding, very clean and beautiful. The bathrooms are a bit outdated but very clean. The exterior, pool, garden area are beautifully set up and very zen. It’s not very close to anything other than 2-3 restaurants so you need a car. But coming back to this spot after your day on the beach or any other place feels really good!

The property was lovely. It was very clean and cosy. All the staff are very pleasant. It was just like being at home with all the cats. The property is not far from the beach, resraurants and shops. The local buses are great for getting around. I would definetely recommend this property.

Amazing stay at Kanso!
Our stay at Kanso Room has been nothing short of fantastic. The place has an incredible atmosphere. The pool area is very quiet, and there are adorable cats walking around. The owner and staff are very friendly and go above and beyond to ensure your stay is enjoyable. They provide recommendations and assist with public transport, among other things. If we return to Crete, we will definitely book Kanso again!
Kanso rooms are situated in a quiet area of Galatas, not far from Chania town and 10 minutes walk from the seafront and plenty of restaurants. The apartments and pool area are very clean and pleasant, there is a relaxed atmosphere and the team take good care of their guests. A few friendly cats welcome you warmly and the beautiful olive trees around the pool offer shelter and rest. This is a great place to relax and unwind, either as a base for exploration or as a secluded oasis. Taking a bus into historic Chania town is easy and cheap, and the local beaches are safe and beautiful for sunbathing and swimming. Highly recommended.

Very good accomodation
A very nice and quite place to stay when you are in chania. You must have a car, otherwise it would be a problem. with a car, you may go anywhere within 5-10 minutes. The owners are very welcoming and providing you good tips. The pool area is very nice. i would definitely suggest here to stay for anyone coming to chania. One little note: beaches in chania is dirty, so try Marathi beach for an amazing sea and cheap facilities. You can reach to the Marathi beach in 45 minutes with a car.
We loved our stay here and would absolutely come back! Beautiful view from the balcony, super clean, AC was perfect, lovely lighting, thoughtful design, and stunning patio.
The host was really lovely and responsive and there were so many sweet little cats!!
I would reccomend staying here. We had a rental car so it was easy to get to, but I think it might be a bit tougher to reach without one. Plus the closest supermarket where we got picked up for a tour was about a 20 min walk away. So might be best if you have a car or scooter. :)
I felt safe and well taken care of.
Basili was great! From the moment we landed in Chania to the time we left for the airport! Any questions we had, he was quick to help and provide assistance!
Had some great beach recommendations, too!
