We absolutely loved our stay at Amphora! It was a quick walk from where our taxi dropped us off. We stayed in the triple room with a sea view. It was perfect for our family of 4 and the view was incredible. Anita, the receptionist made our stay wonderful. The restaurant was exceptional. Amazing service and they don’t harass you like many of the other restaurants there do. I can not recommend this hotel more! If we are ever back in Chania, we will be staying there again for sure!

For sure the best hotel in Chania!

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.

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.

Good hotel, price and location

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!

The staff was friendly . Augustino was a friendly fellow. The location is great right in the middle of old town . You will enjoy the hotel if you like venetian style architecture. It really feels that you are back in time but with the bebefits of modern technology. The wi fi is not the best but i figure that is to be expected in such locations.

Always a good base in beautiful Chania.

This time, we got the suite with balcony on the seaside (room 6, I think). Comfortable, roomy, amazing view on the Old Venitian Port. High ceiling with wooden beams, classy antique furniture. Close to everything. Warm welcome as usual.

Convenient and clean hotel

What a great hotel! The staff were friendly and more than helpful and the our room was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, right in the middle of the Chania old town with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Also, this hotel is tight on the pedestrian walkway that follows The shoreline of the lovely old harbour. It is particularly pleasant to sit on the rooftop deck and enjoy the magnificent view.

Venetian throwback

A wonderfully maintained Venetian building with a great location in the old port. Our suite was a throwback in time right down to the oversized hearth and four poster bed. All the room needs is a new matress. Unfortunately the existing made for a very restless sleep with next to no padding. The hotel tavern is truly the best on the port.
