Lena Beach Hotel

We have spent 1 week with a 10years old at Lena Beach Hotel in July 2024. The location of the hotel is excellent, the great sandy beach is only 400 steps from the hotel (one of the best beach in the island in my opinion) and the view from the room is excellent. With a rented car you can reach Chania center within 15min, which is great! The room furnitures are not the latest design, but it was not an issue for us, as the beds were comfortable, the AC worked properly and the entire room was very clean (Thank you for the ladies for their everyday's effort for it!)! To be honest we have had only 2 trips during our holiday as all the needs could be covered at Lena Beach hotel and the beach next to. We have tried at least 10 type of meals from the menu at the restaurant which were also very nice. There were no day for me without Lena's White Sangria;)

We had the best anniversary trip ever. This charming hotel has everything what u need. It is located at the beautifull Kalathas bay, sandy beach with sunbeds. Short distance with a car from Chania and also 15 min from the airport. Rooms were very clean and tidy. Breakfast at the hotel with big variety of food and perfect coffee. Staff always smiling and helpfull. Specially Mrs Mary at the reception gave us lots of good advices about “ must see” places around. We had feeling that they are taking care of us and I will recommend to everyone who wants to come to Crete.

Lena Beach is the perfect location for a holiday in Chania. It’s well run and the staff are friendly and helpful. Hotel is very clean and spacious. Location is next to Kalathas Beach just a 200m walk away and it’s a sandy beach. A large pool at the hotel is also another option to swim. The food at the hotel is very good and well priced. Whether is breakfast, lunch or dinner sitting under the large verandah you enjoy amazing ocean views across the bay. I have stayed at this hotel several times. When eight friends from Australia wanted a relaxing hotel I suggested Lena Beach. We celebrated our friends 70th birthday there. The food and hospitality provided by the hotel made this event a success. After a weeks stay and when it was time to leave everyone would have liked to have stayed another week. It’s generally fully booked so book early to secure the ocean view rooms with a balcony.

We’ve just returned from a 12 night break at this hotel. Can’t recommend it enough! If you’re after a quiet relaxing break away from the bustle of a busy tourist resort then do consider Lena Beach Hotel. THE HOTEL stands just above the sea in the beautiful bay of Kalathas. There is a lovely sandy beach a 2 minute walk away. It’s just a 20 minute drive from the airport where you can pick up a hire car or the hotel will arrange a taxi for you at a cost of 27€. Noise from commercial planes is minimal. However there is a NATO airbase next to the main airport and so you should be aware that the noise of military aircraft is quite noticeable maybe 4 times a day. This would NOT stop us going again though! THE STAFF are what make this hotel outstanding in our opinion. They all do their jobs beautifully and with smiles! From the cleaners who kept our rooms spotless, to the reception staff who were always willing to help with any queries we had, and the bar and restaurant staff who even on very busy nights still kept smiling……. We are so grateful to you all for making our stay so enjoyable! THE FOOD…… Although we had a few meals out in Chania and Stavros it was always a delight to eat at the Lena Beach Restaurant. The menu was extensive and varied and everything was beautifully cooked and presented. We found plenty to choose from each day. THE ROOMS…… the hotel is traditional in style, not the most modern of furnishings but the important thing for me is always whether the bed is comfortable. Yes it was! I often have trouble sleeping in hotel beds but the king size bed was perfect both size and comfort wise. The air con in the bedroom was very efficient when the temperature outside was in the 30s and exterior roller blinds darkened the rooms well at night. IN SUMMARY….. we can highly recommend staying at The Lena Beach Hotel and hope to return next year.

We stayed for 4 nights. The breakfast included had many options. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The room was comfortable and had a beautiful view. We had several meals in the restaurant, the food was fresh and reasonably priced. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day.
