The best stay we have had so far. This Boutique hotel was perfect for a family of 4. The rooms are clean and spacious. Rooms were serviced everyday day. Garden and pool made the stay extra special. Such a pretty Boutique hotel. I can't say enough about the service from all the staff especially Dina. She arranged our tour to Balos beach and gave us suggestions on what to do and where to eat. I would highly recommend Epavli Boutique hotel and would stay here again. Until next time, will miss Chania and our wonderful stay. Five stars 🌟

Nothing we loved our stay

We had a beautiful, large room with our own terrace. The beds are huge and SO comfortable! It was lovely for an evening read! Dina and Maria are amazing, no ask is too big and they make you feel so welcome, including a complimentary drink on arrival and gift when checking out. Definitely a benefit of a boutique hotel, I think your stay just feels more special and tailored. Absolutely loved the pool and gorgeous garden area - perfect for breakfast and also for a read in the shade of the avocado tree in the middle of the day! There's music playing from speakers on the tree throughout the day and it's a perfect volume and the radio station was great - my hubby didn't even bother using his earphones during our stay! The pool is a good size, you can certainly get a few lengths in but it's small enough that it warms in the sun and it was always a lovely temperature when we got in. Fab location, 15 minute, easy walk into Old Town.

Honestly not much at all to say as there really were no negatives about our stay at Epavli. If we had to nitpick, the only thing that surprised us slightly is that towels are changed every day, even when we'd hung them up. As lovely as it is to have fresh towels, I know most hotels are trying to wash a bit less frequently these days so it was a surprise not to see that option. That said, we didn't mention this and I'm sure if we had, Dina and team would've been more than happy to wash them less frequently so maybe just worth asking if it's something you feel strongly about.

We loved completely everything about this place! Maria was so helpful, warm and friendly upon our late arrival, showed us around, and instantly made us feel truly welcomed. I cannot begin to describe how modern yet cozy the place is, clean and comfortable to the smallest detail. They have a beautiful blooming garden, with the most delicious breakfast served by another great hostess Dina under an avocado tree. Even though we only spent one day here, it was truly like a fairytale, and I’d return again (and hope to) in a heartbeat again and again. It’s a gem!!

Dina was amazing and very sweet and helpful you can tell she loves what she does and that was very refreshing. It was also awesome to find a fellow Canadian in the Island of Crete! :) the other staff members were also very kind. The boutique hotel itself was gorgeous inside and out quiet and very clean! Also the perfect location for driving or walking to any destination in Chania! We would definitely stay again! Thank you again Dina for your hospitality! The welcome drinks were also a sweet surprise! The breakfast included was very personalized and delicious!

The parking available was street parking if you’re not comfortable with parallel parking on a busy street it can be challenging !

This is a lovely little boutique hotel in a quiet location. The staff are lovely and so helpful. The room is very stylishly decorated. The courtyard garden by the pool is a tranquil little oasis. The hotel is about a 12-15 minute walk from the main tourist area which is actually nice as it is in a quieter location. There is a fantastic bar and restaurant less than 10 minutes away and a cafe that sells fabulous cakes very nearby.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Even though we arrived late, check-in was very easy. We stayed for 3 days and were able to park our car very close by each day without any trouble. We filled out a form for breakfast the night before, and in the morning, our breakfast was ready at the time we specified. There were plenty of options, and it was very satisfying. We stayed in a ground floor room, and there was even a rack outside the window where we could dry our beachwear. The management is very thoughtful. We were very pleased with our stay.

In room 105, there was a noise coming from the sink for a while after washing hands. Occasionally, there was also noise coming from upstairs.

Their staff are the best! Dina, Mari and the team took good care of me for 5 nights. I would have totally extended my stay but sadly they were fully book at a time. The room is so spacious, bright and spotlessly clean. Since they only have 11 rooms, the place is always feel peaceful. I love to start my day with breakfast by the pool under the avocado trees. The area is so convenience, just next door to a bio-market, cafes and short walk to beach. I love that they I can easily reach the old town in 20 mins by foot and also 20mins walk to the best sunset in Chalepa. I will definitely come back to Epavli in the future!soon!

Nothing! Maybe I don't like that the place is too popular. I will have to book early enough next time.

I found the hotel on Booking.com and booked it based on location, reviews and price. The location was an easy walk to the Chania old city/port, and there is a market just up the street along with a couple of local restaurants and bars. We got two rooms that overlook the pool and courtyard - both were large and very comfortable. WiFi was good. The staff was wonderful, friendly, outgoing and very eager to please. Breakfast each morning was delicious. All in all a great value that we are recommending to friends and would go back to, again.

Since we were there in early April, the weather had not warmed the pool, and the water was not heated, so dips were quick. Other guests who were more tolerant of the temperature were very happy in the pool for longer periods. Later in the summer I'm sure the pool is wonderful.

The service was incredible. Loved the set up of the hotel - small, boutique and relaxing. The pool and back garden is lovely and so many breakfast options. Very clean rooms with water and room ammenities refreshed daily. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

The design of the shower means the bathroom floor gets wet. Could also do with another towel rail in the bathroom to hang up towels. Not major issues though.

The hotel was in the perfect location - about a 10m walk to Chania harbour and close to many restaurants. It was quiet enough that you could sleep with the windows open. Dina, Maria and the rest of the folks that worked there were so lovely and went out of their way to make you feel at home. The breakfast was incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a hotel with such a great breakfast selection. The rooms were beautiful and always cleaned. It was great to have the mini fridge replenished with water bottles each day as well :)

We were in a room with a terrace and it was gorgeous - my only critique would be to include a blackout blind on the terrace door as it got bright quite early. Otherwise our stay was absolutely perfect.
