Fantastic location, clean and charming hotel with great service. Would stay here again when I'm I come back to Chania.

Nice small hotel

We stayed two night in suite of this Hotel. It was wery big, clean and tidy and location was best possible. Value for the money was 5/5. Full recommendations!

Chania was a charming surprise in our Greek trip and Amphora Hotel was an even better surprise! Our suite was spacious and the view of the Old Venetian Port from our balcony was unparalleled. We had the chance to try the restaurant as well, which is one of the best meals we had also.

My stay at Amphora Hotel was wonderful. Organised a taxi through the hotel that picked us up and brought us to the hotel where a member of staff was waiting in the old town. They took our bags and wheeled them all the way to the hotel and up the stairs. Reception staff was so helpful providing us with recommendations on where to go and how to get there. The room was so nice and the views of the harbour are amazing. They gave us a free bottle of wine that we could drink on the balcony while enjoying the view. Breakfast is good, large variety of food to choose from. Staff are so nice and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Only downside was we booked the room with one of the beds on the mezzanine; the air con air flow didn’t reach up there so got a bit hot and stuffy at night but should have realised that was a possibility given it is summer.

Beautiful hotel with view of the harbour and very friendly staff

Amphora has everything for me, a lovely individual feeling, excellent staff, and the location is fantastic. I’m going back!

The exceptional reception

A beautiful hotel in a fabulous location. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is worth adding as it is freshly prepared. Outside terrace has beautiful views and is a great place to relax.

What a beautiful place to stay in Chania! We had a room overlooking the main walkway and harbor. Gorgeous view from inside the room or sitting on the little balcony. The bed was very comfortable, great linens with an extra blanket and plenty of pillows. Entry is behind the main walkway street up old stone stairs (this is Crete and even near the harbor it’s hilly) then up some easy stairs into the lobby. I have some walking challenges but all doable with my cane. The staff were so lovely. We missed breakfast due to jet lag in day one but the guy who prepares breakfast does an amazing job. Lots of choices for cheeses,yogurt, fruit and eggs. We loved this place!!!!

We booked the bay front suite for two nights. There is a stunning view from the balcony of the room; however, you need to be aware that there is a late night party atmosphere that starts around 10:30pm on the other side of the bay and goes to about 3:30 am - even on a Tuesday and Wednesday night! Even with ear plugs in, I could still hear the bass and drums of the music across the way. This can be frustrating when you are already trying to adjust to the time change. However, on day three through seven we had booked the other suite and really liked it. It would not be for anyone who has difficulty handling stairs; however, because it has a spiral staircase to the floor below where the bathroom is. I also want to compliment the cleaning lady, she wanted to make sure if I wanted our room cleaned after the first night and I still had our do not disturb sign up around 1 pm. When she realized I couldn’t speak Greek, she went up to the front desk and had someone who could speak English call me. I let her come in while I was finishing getting ready. She was concerned that I didn’t know how to operate the tv because it was on, but on mute, so she called the front desk attendant who came down to check with me. I was using the usb in the tv to charge my phone, as I had forgotten my converter, but wanted the sound off. When I realized that was charging too slowly, they allowed me to borrow a usb charger for the duration of our stay.

Location, location! Right on the Venetian Harbour. Our room had wonderful views to the harbour with a lovely balcony, extremely clean, well kept. The building is a beautiful property full of accents and tasteful decor. Good wifi, the restaurant downstairs is amazing, delicious food and they give a discount to the hotel clients! Staff was very polite, helpful. We were there during the earthquake and the door of the bathroom got jammed after the movement, my son got trapped inside, the very dedicated lady in the reception rushed to help, she called another staff and she was very apologetic, we kept reassuring that we were ok and knew was not their fault but she insisted in giving us a bottle of wine. We highly recommend this beautiful place, without a doubt was a very important piece in our lovely time in Crete.

Would stay again any time. Great location, staff, comfort.

Reception was friendly. Clean condition, great view for harbour. Restrauant was also tremendous!

Fantastic property, great service. The room definitely lived up to the photos. Ill start with cons since there are only a few. CONS: - Travel from parking lot to hotel (on foot due to alleyways) was grueling with the luggage we had (2 large suitcases, one carry on bag). So if the hotel had a valet to assist with travel from the parking lot to the hotel, that would definitely increase its rep. - Shower water pressure and temp control was terrible. They had a fancy shower head set up but we didnt get to enjoy it due to the lack of water pressure and difficultly controlling the water temp. - Mattress was awful and is due for an upgrade. Extremely flat. - A/C unit worked great but was a bit outdated. PROS: - Location was FANTASTIC!!! Highly recommend staying here purely for the location. Proximity to restaurants, shopping, and the VIEWS!! - Overall decor was great and made it feel very authentic to Chania. We plan on staying here again when we visit Chania next year, so hopefully the cons get addressed by then.

Location location location it was wonderful to be on the Harbour! You really got to feel the Cretean vibe and be in it. It can be a little noisy at night but wasn’t too disturbing. Smelled like play dough in the halls from the hookah lounges nearby but tolerable. Would have loved if the do not disturb signed was acknowledged as we did not want anyone in our room and made sure the sign was clearly displayed. Room was spacious and perfect with a patio looking out at the lighthouse and the entire harbour.

Our room was even more beautiful than the pictures. We feel like we got very lucky as our hotel was the most beautiful in Chania! The room was absolutely charming with wood beams and hardwood floors; but importantly, the bathroom was modern and the AC rocked. The hotel location is perfect--right by the sea and the best shops. But even though we were right in the middle of everything, our room was very quiet at night. The staff were all so nice, and we loved the restaurant. Definitely get the breakfast option--It was delicious and the staff made it feel as though we woke up to have coffee and Dakos in a sweet family kitchen. When we go back, we will never stay anywhere else!

Great location with beautiful sea views! Very friendly staff and service was excellent. Would definitely stay again

Nice hotel, almost feel like my own apartment. Quiet, safe, close to everything. You can find a free parking spot not to far and always available, check on google and choose it for the gps, don’t put the hotel address bcs there is no way to reach it by car. Found that public parking first, then you walk 5 min that’s it! This info could safe me a headache and stress trying to reach the hotel driving by small and busy streets.

According to a front desk staff, all rooms have some problems, ours had a very small bathroom, very difficult to shower, no views (hotels.com shows a harbour view) and very noise, weird shape. They don't change towels and their problem resolution consists in trying to sell you a another room at their rip-off prices. Maybe it is cheap for a reason

An excellent hotel - perfect location and the view from the roof terraces of the harbour incredible. This is a perfect spot to have breakfast and watch the world go by. The restaurant is located right on the waterfront and again great place to chill and people watch. Staff service was excellent gave me trips on things to see and do and recommendations on gorge trip. All in all a wonderful hotel with friendly staff - would not hesitate to stay here again.

Excellent location right in the old harbour area. It’s a small hotel and my room was particularly small for a split level unit. The room was a little dated but it was clean. Don’t expect 5 star luxury but it was good value for the money. I would say 3 star at best in a great location.

Really enjoyed our stay here! The location is perfect, right on the harbor with beautiful views! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Reception gave us tips on places to go and we had great breakfast on the terrace each morning, served by Augustine who was very welcoming! The hotel is very clean, the rooms are a good size and safe. Nothing bad to say! Great place for families, friends or solo travelers! The restaurant downstairs is also very good.

La vue sur le port de la vieille ville et la proximité des commerces en fait un hôtel ecellent.

The hotel is very well located. Staff is really polite and professional. Very clean and comfortable. The A/C was very handy as it was very hot outside. We had a room with sea view and it was breathtaking. The food at the hotel restaurant was very good and the prices were fair in comparison to other places around. Plus the guest discount was very appreciated. We recommend 100% to stay there if you're going to Chania!

Great location next to the harbour. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Good location. Friendly staff. I’d skip the breakfast.

Location location location. Also the staff were super friendly and made you feel at home.

Location was excellent . Character and charm . Obliging friendly staff. Historic setting. Wonderful experience

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of staying in this 600 year old building. The service was fantastic, accommodating our extremely late arrival in the small hours of the morning and helping us with our heavy suitcases. We had such a wonderful time in the old city of Chania, made even more special by this fabulous hotel.

Really lovely hotel, situated in centre of old town with fabulous views over the harbour. Friendly helpful staff and large clean room

Lovely hotel, great staff, clean and well designed rooms, great sea view!
