Our stay was ok, the property is right in the old town, property has some stairs. Rooms are slightly small and the shower cubicle is very small. However we had a pleasant stay. If you are a light sleeper avoid as the shops and restaurants stay open right and you would hear people talking right under the window. The owners are nice and helpful.

Very happy with my stay at Smaragdi Rooms

I rented a room for the night on my journey back to the UK. The host is very helpful and friendly, and helped with my arrival times. The Smaragdi Rooms are in a great location in the old city, close to the port, the shopping centre, a great bakery almost opposite and a really good vegan restaurant at the bottom of the road. Lively during the day but quiet at nighttime. The room is basic but had everything I needed, comfy bed, shower, kettle, coffee filter.

Perfect location and friendly welcome

Very friendly welcome. My room was clean and tidy, simple and good value in a fantastic location in the old town. Close to the harbour, shops, restaurants - including a fantastic vegan restaurant at the bottom of the road. I’ve been offered flexibility in the check out (I guess still out of main season) so it’s been perfect for me as a solo traveller.

Nice hotel in a very nice street close to eveythin

We just spend one night my daughter and I. The lady who treated us was very friendly and helpful. The bed was very good and the bathroom too all very clean. There was inside all what was advertised. Plenty of cafes and restaurants around in the old town of chania close to the harbour. We could visit everything on foot. I can recommend.

Not what we signed for

Well this hotel was not available when we got there. The nice gentleman who welcomed us said it was under repaies. So he offered us a room in the hotel across the street called Talos. The hotel had only three rooms and was in a very very old building. The room was very humid and old. The bathroom was so old, it didnt even have a shower! If you carry luggage you will have to go up several ladder style stairs. The street we were on at least was nice!

In the centre of the old town, clean convenient

Excellent location although can be noisy from bars on street. Old building with no sound proofing so could hear everything going on in the room above, plumbing also noisy but better if you leave the plug in the sink. We had room 1 which was great because there is a small back door leading onto a little backstreet where we put chairs outside, and easy if you have heavy luggage rather than carry it up narrow steep staircase at front. Good value. Didn't meet the owner but the girl that cleaned our room was friendly and gave us some good advice on the area.

Convenient if a little "tired"

The room was in a really convenient place for wandering around the old streets of Chania, but it was pretty crowded with "stuff" and obviously in need of a bit of maintenance. Very airless and hot, but air-conditioning worked well. Large fridge - a bit pointless- with a broken freezer section. This kicked out a lot of heat which only added to the heat of the room. Bed was clean and comfortable. Owner was not around when we arrived, but a note had been left to just make ourselves at home and the man across the road rang to make sure which room was ours. Overall the room served it's purpose, was in a nice location and was one of the cheaper ones I had found on the website, so I guess you get what you pay for. However, it was lovely to be able to walk out into the streets of Chania and not have to fight our way out again by car in the maze of streets at night.

In Chania

Room right in old town. Older one room studio on a walking street. Room was older but clean and well kept. Felt like an older rooming house. Great location to explore Chania town. Parking a block away had relatively easy access to main road.

Simple hotel located in a charming cute area

Our visit to the area was pretty short, so we didn't make sure of the kitchen amenities, but the room was cute, though simple and located really close to the old harbor (walking distance of 5-7min). Staff was very nice and helpful with any problems we had. Def worth the money you pay for. I would come back.

Enjoyable stay in Xania old port

My wife and I stayed at Smaragdi Rooms for two nights in early September 2014. We loved the location - right in the heart of Xania's old port. The owner, Georgia, was super friendly and very nice to us. The room was spacious and pleasant. The price was reasonable. I would stay at Smaragdi again next time I go to Xania.

Cute, air-conditioned rooms in Venetian Harbor

These rooms for rent were cute, comfortable, clean and air-conditioned (not something guaranteed in Crete). This place is steps from multiple restaurants, shops, and convenience stores and more importantly, the old Venetian Harbor. We walked everywhere - even to the bus station in Chania. The only downside is the owners are not there all the time, though they give you their number if anything comes up and we were able to catch the wife during the day now and then when she would clean rooms. They are wonderfully nice people and the rooms are comfortable. It's not a luxury hotel, but they are nice budget rooms that suited our needs well for a four day visit in Crete.
