Mosaic is centrally situated in Chania Town. Free WiFi is provided throughout.

Each room at this guest house is air conditioned and comes with a flat-screen TV. You will find a kettle in the room. Every room is fitted with a private bathroom equipped with a shower. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hairdryer. The hotel is housed in a beautifully restored 1937 building. The original hand-laid cement tile floors have been preserved, giving each room its own unique charm and character. These historic elements blend seamlessly with the modern interior design, which elegantly combines metal and wood. The high ceilings and large windows create a spacious feel and allow for plenty of natural light, adding to the cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The service at this hotel is top-notch. The staff is incredibly engaged, attentive, and always ready to offer helpful recommendations about local attractions. The hotel’s location is excellent – just a short walk from the charming streets of the Old Town, the Venetian Harbor, and Chania’s main attractions. The nearby public parking (with good price) is a great convenience. Mosaic Hotel is a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience authentic Cretan hospitality in a beautifully designed setting.
