Facing the beachfront, Hyperion City Hotel & Spa offers 4-star accommodation in Chania Town and has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and shared lounge. Boasting a bar, the hotel is close to several noted attractions, around 300 metres from Koum Kapi Beach, less than 1 km from Saint Anargyri Church and a 16-minute walk from Archaeological Museum of Chania. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. I liked everything about this hotel, from the varied and delicious breakfast to the kind and helpful staff at the desk. Everywhere smelled amazing. An easy walk to the old town. Lovely traditional Cretan bakery a few metres away and a well-stocked supermarket up the road. Shower pressure was incredible!
