This nine-room budget hotel is in a picturesque area of Chania with a lot to see and do nearby. The exterior has been renovated to maintain the charm and style of its history and the lobby has a comfortable, rustic style. Unfortunately, the TV lounge in the center of the lobby is the only common space available. Guest rooms are basic with kitchenettes and balconies, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. The highlight of a stay at Casa Veneta is the friendly and knowledgeable owners who go out of their way to ensure guests have a pleasant stay. For the price and location this hotel can’t be beat, but for those looking for warmer rooms and extra facilities, it's worth considering the Porto Veneziano Hotel.

This 62-room, upper-middle-range resort offers direct access to the lovely Agia Marina beach and is a 20-minute drive from Chania. Rooms are spacious and contemporary, albeit a bit generic, featuring flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The quality of the view from balconies and terraces varies, and only a few have direct ocean views. On-site features include a spa, outdoor pool, and small gym, but loungers on the beach require a fee. An ocean-view restaurant is open all day and receives positive reviews. Families may prefer the Ammos Hotel -- also located on the Agia Marina beach and closer to Chania -- as it has a more kid-friendly atmosphere.

The 84-room Kriti Hotel is a modern, mid-range property located outside the town center, about a five- to 10-minute walk from the beach and top sights. Rooms are light and airy, with comfortable beds, minibars, toiletries, and flat-screen TVs, but lower-category units are tiny. A decently sized pool is surrounded by sunbeds and some umbrellas, but the on-site gym is just a couple of machines. Drinks can be ordered from the lobby bar, which also serves light meals, and the free buffet breakfast offers fresh-squeezed orange juice and a variety of hot dishes. For business travelers, there’s a conference room and business center with printing facilities. Free Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the hotel, and there’s free street parking. The hotel feels a bit devoid of personality, so for somewhere with more traditional character, try Hotel Belmondo.
