“Basic hotel, but good value and OK comfort”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Kydon is a large central hotel dating from about 1985. Overall the property is tired, but not untidy. I spent three nights here, at about £50 a night.

Room:

about 100 square feet, with a balcony large enough to sit out on. Very basic but not uncomfortable. The TV was pretty knackered and only BBC World. No kettle. 1980s lighting (dim). The heating/aircon didnt work. This is a central hotel so quite a bit of ambient noise (aircon fans, traffic) even looking over the car park at the back. Clean and tidy, if all very tired.

Bed:

Large, but pretty hard (Greek hotels seem to like hard beds). Actually, not a bad night's sleep.

Bath:

Odd sort of half bath with a shower over. Plenty of hot water, very small and knackered towels, horrible soap.

People:

Perfectly nice staff, helpful and smiley. Breakfast was OK (no better), in a bright large dining room.

Location:

Just on the edge of the old town, and next door to the taxi rank. A great location for a cheap explore of Chania and Crete.

Value for money:

Pretty good. What do you expect for £50 a night? Bring your own kettle and a DVD player.

“Outstanding location and staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2011

Kydon Hotel's staff far exceeds anyone's expectations. Everyone is friendly and speaks outstanding English. The location is perfect to walk anywhere you want to visit. No, it's not on the water...but no problem if you don't mind a little walk down the streets of Chania. Yes, the rooms are outdated and the beds are hard, BUT the room is clean! If you have traveled outside the US the room should suit you just fine. If not, be aware star ratings are not the same outside the US. Keep in mind you are on an island in Greece, not America, so you expectations should be realistic.

“Perfect in Chania if you have a car”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2010

All or almost all the points of interest in Chania are within walking distance from the hotel.
Other hotels, rated higher than Kydon in this list, may have a real pitoresque location, but cannot by any means be reached by car.
Beside this, to be noticed: even for a very demanding guest as I am (!), the cleanliness of the hotel, is exemplary.
The receptionists are helpful and polite and speak a good english.
The breakfast is just a litlle bit poor for a 4 stars hotel.

“try elsewhere, this hotel is good only if you can't find anything else”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2010

What a miss! they have the best location and a nice building but they do all the things wrong... starting at recoption, they try to act "proffetional" but it comes out simply rude.
the rooms need renovation immediatly!!
very regular brakefast.
This is the only hotel I have seen in Crete where they charge you for internet access..why?
they say they have free parking. when I asked to park my car they asked for the keys and said they will park it for me. only problem is where do I leave the car now??? there is no parking space availble in 500 m radius!
just forget it.
