“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.”

amazing viewfree shuttlecool swiming pooltiny roomsmall balconylate 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.
