Frini Hotel Chania

Review by hotel critic

Review of Frini Hotel, Nea Chora, CreteMy recent stay at Frini Hotel was a thoughtfully planned choice, balancing comfort and location during my third visit to Crete. Situated just across from the pristine Nea Chora beach, it's a pleasant 10-15 minute seaside stroll to Chania's old town, making it ideal for beach enthusiasts. I enjoyed the competitive pricing at €19 per day per person, breakfast included. Frini offers a satisfying European-style breakfast featuring local delights, ensuring value without sacrificing quality. The family-run atmosphere promoted by the friendly staff contributed to an overall welcoming experience. They were consistently helpful, making guests feel at home. While the sea-facing room provided lovely views from the balcony, its compact size may not be ideal for larger groups. The bathroom’s limited space was another aspect to note. Considering the overall experience, and the clean, well-maintained environment, these minor inconveniences were easy to overlook. Frini Hotel presents a compelling option for travelers seeking value without compromising on location or warmth. For those who prioritize beach access and homey service over extravagant luxuries, this hotel is a wise choice. I would certainly return, particularly for its strategic setting and excellent pricing.
