“Royal Sun enjoys a strategic position overlooking Chania, and I'd say the views alone are worth the stay. It's a family-friendly base with the advantage of a reliable shuttle into the city, plus those hilltop vistas are a lovely backdrop to the restaurant's Mediterranean menu.”

shuttle breakfast buffet selection restaurant night service soap dispenser room condition balcony smoking

The hotel's complimentary shuttle to the city center was very helpful. it saved me from having to find parking. the breakfast buffet offered a super selection! the restaurant provides very good service at night plus amazing food.

The soap dispensers in the bathroom were located quite high. it was uncomfortable to reach them! people smoked on balconies sometimes though it is not the hotel's fault. i thought the room was a little degraded for the value i paid..

decent stay, but with some issues

cramped gym repetitive breakfast

The gym was smaller than i expected. It lacked a variety of equipment and felt a bit cramped. The air conditioning in the room wasn't very effective. It struggled to keep the space cool, even at the highest setting. (it was a pretty warm week though). I also found the breakfast selection somewhat repetitive after a few days. There could have been more variety.

amazing view free shuttle cool swiming pool tiny room small balcony late opening

i found the breakfast room offered an amazing view. the hotel provided free shuttle buses to the city center. the swimming pool was also a nice feature. (i really enjoyed using the shuttle service).

my room was quite small. the balcony was only large enough for one person. the gym opened late at 9 am, not convenient for early workouts.
