We had such a nice time in Hotel Amphora. The location is amazing! The hotel is right in the cozy little roads of the old town and has a great view to the charming harbour! The staff was very kind. Augustini (hopefully is spelled right) was so welcoming and made the best omelette.

The breakfast which we had one morning we thought was grim and not worth the money. We had been warned about noise from the bars and restaurants below but didn’t expect really loud music and singing to go on until 6am. It was like an open air nightclub. Why is it allowed?

Beautiful room with stunning views. Beautifully clean with a lovely bathroom and everything was serviced perfectly. The restaurant was good and perfectly situated on the edge of the harbour

Outstanding views of the harbour from the terrace on the roof.

Everything was superb.

The ambiance and hospitality at the Amphora is outstanding. Magnificent breakfast served on the roof terrace is an amazing experience to behold. The central location means a 10 minute walk to the beach whilst also being in easy walking distance to the best restaurants. The room was quiet and cleaned everyday, an immaculate high standard of cleanliness throughout this well maintained accommodation. I will definitely stay here again.

noice isolation is very poor, we could hear our neighbors using hairdryer or listening music as if they were in the same room with us. no free beach towels available (7€ per towel) no slippers

location is very good, right in the old town. the room is very clean! the bed and pillows are super comfortable.

Bathroom was dated, it could do with an upgrade.

Excellent location, super friendly staff and comfortable room. Breakfast was very generous, tasty and you can bring your food to the top floor balcony to enjoy magnificent view over the port. Room was quiet and spacious. The hotel has a restaurant and offers 10% discount for residents. Restaurant was excellent.

Some of the staff could be more polite when talking to the guests.

The location, the hotel, the rooms, and the breakfast.

I had hurt my back quite badly and the staff could not have been kinder in helping me manage this. My room was stunning (what a view) and the jacuzzi was just what I needed for hydrotherapy! Immaculate, with delightful frangipani on my fresh towels, and I thought overall incredibly good value. The bed was so comfortable, even when I was in pain. Thank you for all being so kind to me.

If there were a kettle with tea/coffee set it would be really great.

We loved Samuel and Anita, they were so helpful and so kind. I will for sure, recommend this lovely hotel.

The breakfast was very good with lots of choices. They took it up to the rooftop for us where we could see the port. The room was their largest suite with a sitting area, extra bed and small kitchen. The whole Old Port area streets are walking streets so need to take your bag a ways but it’s worth the charm of the area. Hotel front desk staff helped us rent a car. He was very friendly.

We found it very strange that there was no door separating the toilet from the bedroom. Also we had the bad luck that the vent from the restaurant at the front of the hotel was a bit noisy. But otherwise the hotel was fantastic and I would stay there again.

The hotel is excellently located. Breakfast on the rooftop was fantastic.

The view on the port side from the little balcony was particularly romantic. Let alone the jacuzzi with the view.

Everything was good.

The location of the hotel and the view from the terrace are certainly one of a kind. The room we stayed was really comfortable. Other guests that at their reviews are mentioning about the size of the rooms or complaining they truly need to read better before they book because when they choose the apartment they should be sure that the photos are precise. At the end of the day they can always come in contact with the hotel and the staff will be more than happy to answer and explain. This is what we actually did before we booked. We read the descriptions, we saw the photos, we came in contact with the hotel, they confirmed and that’s it! So easy, so simple. It is good to have a human approach than just living and pressing buttons. The staff is very friendly, welcoming and kind. The breakfast? Wonderful with a big variety, with local goodies. Try the local jams/marmalades. Everything, from restaurants, cafeterias, mini markets, supermarkets, bakeries, shops, are literally next door. The closest beach, at Nea Chora, that has a Blue Flag, which means sunbeds, facilities, changing rooms etc, is within 10 minutes walk. I read in some reviews of guests complaining about the parking. This is really nonsense. The hotel is a waterfront one, in the old city, at a pedestrian zone. What did they expect? To be able to park in front of the hotel? The closest public parkings are at less than 5 minutes walk! If they are full? There are more! Even if the rest are full there is always the option of free street parking. Don’t worry. Chania is a safe town. At the end of the day? The ones who complained about that? Get a life seriously and stop complaining for things like this. Remember this. It is a dream knowing that you can wake up at the heart of the old port of Chania, at a 14th century building with Venetian and Ottoman influences and at a reasonable price. We will certainly be back.

The hotel was right on the waterfront. The room was quite large with a kitchenette. Staff were great.

Nothing! A perfect stay.

Hotel Amphora was a wonderful choice for our three nights in Chania. The room was beautiful - recently redone with a gorgeous bath, great shower and pretty balcony with a partial view of the bay. The hotel is in a perfect location for the harbour, sights and beach. Anita and the front desk team couldn't have done more to make our stay enjoyable - they were so friendly and helpful. They arranged a taxi transfer from the airport and to our next destination, and the driver was excellent too. I'm not usually one for hotel restaurants, but the linked restaurant on the harbour front was very good - we ate there twice, both times delicious. We'll definitely stay here next time we come to Chania.

The only thing to fault is the noise. The harbour is always busy until late, so you can hear the music and people from outside. And as its an old house you can also hear floors creek when people move inside. But with ear plugs it's not really an issue.

Beautiful view from the terrace. The house itself is really old with a great character and high ceilings. We had breakfast included which was a small buffet of local products. As its right in the center of the old town, all the main sights are in easy walking distance and you can book tours further away with the hotel. The room was clean and they cleaned the room daily as well. All the staff were friendly and eager to help out with any questions you might have.

Next door guest was loud in middle of night.

Very nice location on port in Chania Old Town. Very helpful staff. Accommodations are not luxurious, but practical, clean, centrally located, and a great value for price. Only complaint was a loud guest in room next to our room in middle of the night.
