Amazing service
They offered to dry our clothes!! There’s a washing machine and they gave us powder!! Didn’t charge for any of that.
Very kind people especially Elaine was very kind and helpful
The hotel itself was very good also- good amenities
Breakfast was good, made hot drinks with alternative drinks.
This place is definitely at least 4 star and will soon become that, if not 5 star. Really affordable at the moment.

Kissamos is an excellent home base for trips to Balos and also for Elafonisi, much closer than Chania. There are also many restaurants along the beach in walking distance. We didn't swim there but it is possible. You might consider Falasarno for a few days for a beautiful beach with surf!

It’s a small town but we could enjoy walking along the beautiful beaches. There are some supermarkets so that we could get fresh vegetables and also fresh fish which were really tasty. There are a lot of buses and they are usually very on time. We could make our schedule smoothly and everything went super!

The place is very quiet and relaxing, especially during the dusk & the night where you can have your dinner in the big balcony & view all the stars in the sky, after a full day at the nearby beaches. Is a perfect location to visit west Crete, 15-20 min from the amazing Falassarna beach and 20 min from the parking place of the famous Balos beach. Also, it is less than 60 min to visit the unique Elafonisi beach.
I would definitely choose this villa again in my next visit to west Crete!

As part of exploring Crete, Kissamos is a must visit because it offers trips to some of the most beautiful site & beaches on Chania area.
2-4 night I would say its enough, but you could stay longer.

Kissamos was really chilled, laid-back, peaceful and friendly. If you're looking for a wild party scene, it's definitely not the place to come! But if you want tranquility and to feel safe whilst soaking up sun, nature, and local culture, it's perfect
The location was fantastic, right on the beach. There are excellent restaurants very close to the hotel together with the small village of kissamos and its various small shops (supermarket 5 mins away). One great restaurant (Mavros Molos) can even be accessed directly along the beach which feels very luxurious. The bus station was also very close making it possible to visit Chania without a car (though it's a fairly long journey by bus). The apartment was spacious and clean, staff were friendly.
I really enjoyed my stay at Sunny Bay hotel. It was a perfect spot for exploring the nearby famous beaches (Elafonisi, Balos and Falassarna). There was plenty of parking space just in front of the hotel, the hotel has a small private beach where sunbeds and umbrellas are free for hotel guests. The breakfast was really good and fresh. It is located maybe 10 min walking to bars and restaurants in Kissamos centre. And the staff were all so polite and friendly. Highly recommed!
Hotel is easy to reach from Chania airport (less than 1 hour by car) and it’s well located near the best beaches in Crete.
Stefania and the staff are wonderful, you’ll easily feel at home.
Rooms are big enough and equipped with all essential comfort.
Breakfast is ok, continental and Cretan are both very good to start your day.
Swimming pool is nice and totally free of charge.
Super hotel in an amazing island! We hope to come back soon!

Wonderful hotel, with wonderful staff! Everyone is amazing, the room was very clean and comfortable! There are plenty of spaces to park near. Niki and Katerina was always ready to give advise on what beach to visit or where to eat. We really recommend this place! If we come back to Crete, we will definitely stay in Castell Hotel again!
The hotel was very nice and the staff was also great.
We had a lovely room with a view to the beach. It was also nice to have a kitchen.
Kissamos was a perfect place to stay and do some day trips for example to Balos and Gramvousa.
The hotel was wonderful and peaceful. We enjoyed especially the pool.
I highly recommend this place.
This is such a clean and wonderfully furnished place. A perfect oasis in the middle of rural Crete. The place is air conditioned, sound proof, and has a bathroom with a washer.
The host checked in with us daily to ensure we had everything we wanted.
The property is close to Falsarna Beach, the port of Kissamos, etc.
The hotel manager was really kind, he fixed the light in our room after the regullar hour, printed our boarding pass and knew what to recommend us in the area. We had a balcony with view to the beach wich was amazing.
The room was a bit old but the rest of our stay was great and comfortable.
Very friendly host. The location is perfect for visiting balos beach and elafonissi, close to chania. The apartment is clean, well equipped and quiet. But you can go on foot to everywhere in kissamos. The beach bars are nice. But my favorite restaurant is Σκασιαρχείο Pita & Grill.
My stay at Regina Hotel in Kissamos was a true delight! With Kissamos Port just 8 km away and the captivating Ancient Falassarna only 20 km from the hotel, the location was perfect for exploring the area. I will definitely return for en extra exploration next summer!
The location and the view, exceptional. Far from the center of Kissamos, on an empty beach. We heard only the sea and the wind. Wonderful place for us.
The best place in the apartment is the terasse you can see in the picture. All this apartment is only for this.
Lovely Hotel on the main road through Kissamos.Clean comfy room overlooking pool and sea view.I wish I had stayed longer as Hotel was good value and the town was relaxing and non touristy,a relief after the crowds from the north coast resorts.Would stay again.
Very nice apartment for relaxing in Kissamos and exploring around. Strategic position to reach some of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. Located in a very quite area. The host is super nice and available to help. You can't be wrong with this accommodation.
A cozy, quiet family hotel with a small but comfortable beach, about 400 m from restaurants in Kissamos. It is very clean and the breakfast is home made and tasty. Would recommend to anyone who seeks alternatives to huge all-inclusive’s. 10/10 for me.

Great location on the beach in the nicest part of Kissamos, a 10 minute walk from the real centre. Hotel has a nice bar, excellent beachfront restaurant and decent private beach area with sun loungers Good value for money.
Just such a gorgeous hotel, very clean and comfortable, quiet and modern. Lovely staff. Great location, loved the cafe right next to the beach. Parking was very close also. Fantastic ocean view from balcony.
Amazing breakfasts!
Bright,cheerful and very artistically decorated studio.
Well located for local beach,excellent restaurants and easy walk to Kissamos town.
Near boat harbour for ferries to Balos.
Large room, hotel close to the beach, nice restaurant with friendly staff. It was one night stop for us after a trip to Balos, but we regret that we could not stay for one more day in Kissamos.
