Delightful hotel in the best part of old Chania
Really charming hotel right in the centre of old Chania. Very friendly, accommodating staff and a wonderful comfy bed. We enjoyed our stay there and would be happy to return.

beautiful charm in Old Town
Vranas Studios was a very pleasant host over 5 nights in Chania. The very friendly staff of this family-run business made us feel very comfortable over our entire stay. Clean rooms, delicious breakfasts and friendly staff. The only downside is the proximity to the bell tower at the adjacent church, which rings at very random hours.

Very central location and great value for money
Loved this accommodation. Very spacious room, great decor and fantastic location. Very clean and very friendly service. Very reasonably priced. Only a few cons, the bathroom is tiny as is the bath/shower. Hard wood floors everywhere (which look great) which means it can be very noisy when people are moving around. The pros far outweigh the cons though.

Clean,friendly,in old town, beach close.Lovely.
Vranas has a great location, friendly and helpful staff. We had a superior room with balcony and it was spacious with air con and view of the square and thoughtful details. Very comfortable furnishings inside and on balcony. We'd requested 2 beds but understood from literature that this could not be guaranteed. Bathroom suite had seen better days, but very clean and of course completely operational - public areas also v clean.

Good Position but Needs Maintenance
We stayed here as a base to walk the Samarian Gorge. The position is great - in the old town and a short walk to the shops, cafes and waterfront. The bus station was only 10 minutes walk away. However, maintenance left a lot to be desired. Our son's room smelled of cigarette smoke, despite us booking a non-smoking room. The friendly staff changed the room without fuss. Our room had some peeling paint and stains on the painted timber ceiling. The air conditioner drained via a small pipe into the bath tub and the sink leaked all over the bathroom floor whenever we used it.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was nicer than we expected and quite large. It was 2 minutes walk to little Vienna and had a great vibe. Downsides: the balconies for our room were too small to sit on and one of them faced a church which had a bell that rang at 6am. Overall great place to stay.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff
Despite the taxi drive not being able to find Vranas Rooms, it was a terrific discovery for us. Very close to the places of interest in the old Chania town and some great restaurants and tavernas. In a beautiful location overlooking a small square with a number of cafes it is also just at the rear of St Michaels Church. It was a bit of a surprise when the bells started ringing very loudly on a couple of mornings but it added nicely to the atmosphere.

Excellent location, fast wifi, friendly staff
Room was spacious, clean, bed was enormous although the sheet was too small however this was only a minor inconvenience. having a kettle and fridge was fantastic. The bathroom was functional and the lack of shower curtain could be managed. I loved the location and didn't find it noisy. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Simple, but nice, in the heart of Old Chania
It's right in the heart of the old part of Chania, a few blocks away from the Venetian Port, surrounded by shops and restaurants. It's nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable, so if you're not planning to spend a lot of time in the room, it's a perfect place to explore Chania from. The staff was very friendly and accommodations, and helpful in telling us the good places to go etc. Be aware that the reception doesn't open until 8am (if you come in with the overnight ferry like we did) and that cars/taxis can't go into that part of town, so you may need to walk the last few blocks.

Vranas Studios has made my vacations wonderful!
It made a comfortable "temporary home" for me during both of my trips to Chania, Crete! It's homey feel and friendly service made me feel right at home the minute I arrived. A full year later they even remembered me and we immediately felt like old friends! Each room was spaceous and comfy and if there was something extra that I required they were always happy to oblige. The internet was faster than even the one I had at home and was perfect for the webinars I had to conduct. The hotel is perfectly situated and I could even make a quick minute walk to stores for anything I needed and then come back to the comfort of the room without having to take a backpack or a map with me. All in all I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely choose Vranas for my travel needs next year and all the years to come. I recommend this hotel without reservation!

Great Value, Wonderful Staff in Center of Chania
The Vranas Suites is a bit hard to find, but it is a charming place near the Arcgaeological museum, Shopping and wonderful restaurarants. It is a bit hard to find and has no elevator, which are the only negatives. It is a great choice if you want to save money and have a nice place to stay while in Chania. Free WiFi in Lobby!

Hey all, totally recommend this hotel for your visit in amazing Chania. The rate was value for money. Super spacious room with it's own kitchenette.Balcony overlooking old town tiny road. Decoration was a nice mixture between traditional character and modern features. Clean and with really friendly stuff. Locationwise great spot to enjoy walking around the old town. Only negative was the fact we have to park our car 7 blocks away as you cannot enter the old town. Cheers, Greg

This place is simple but nicer than I'd expected for the price. The location was perfect, cute and close to the harbor. The room was big and attractive. The bed was quite hard but that would be my biggest complaint. Beautiful balcony, quaint bargain!

Very efficient and professional people
Nikos and Galyna are at the reception desk and really very professional and efficient. If you look for a very convenient hotel at a reasonable price then it's the best choice to do. You will be very close to everything at the center of the old town. And again with such personnel you will be not only hosted but getting lots of informations and advises for good restaurants as well!!!

Dejligt hotel, men vi manglede køkkenfaciliteter.
Dejligt hotel, men vi manglede køkkenfaciliteter. Førhen var der en kogeplade, en kasserolle og et lille køkkenbord. Hvis der opsættes skab eller hylder ovenover køleskabet kan det give plads til kogepladen, en kasserolle og et lille køkkenbord på køleskabet. Vi manglede også en elevator. Især fordi trappen er stejl og uden gelænder, hvilket især er en udfordring, når bagage/kufferter skal bæres op og ned. Personalet er MEGET servicemindede og rengøringen er i top.
