This little hotel is honestly the perfect place. It has such character with its courtyard and winding hallways, the room I had was spacious and clean and the AC was amazing after a hot day out at the beaches! The service from the staff was top notch, they treat you like family not like another hotel guest! Its location is also hard to beat! Right on the water near the old bay, restaurants and shopping everywhere yet the pace at the hotel is still very relaxed! The breakfast was also amazing! I truly enjoyed my stay here and will absolutely be back in the future!

I had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Amphora Hotel. The location was incredible, the view from the balcony couldn't have been better, and the staff were extremely helpful and kind. The only thing that I could say that wasn't glowingly positive was that I could hear people in the neighboring room, but I'm sure that's common in these older hotels. I would absolutely stay again and recommend to others.

What a lovely hotel in the heart of the old Venetian port. Perfect place to stay in walk around. The staff was wonderful and I even snagged the sweetened orange peel recipe from the gentleman from their cafe! He also checked us into the hotel. Lovely person! Can't wait to try his recipe!

Dear Travel Enthusiasts, I recently enjoyed staying at the Amphorah Hotel in Chania, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. When we arrived, the staff made us feel like cherished guests. Anita's warm welcome, Augostino's consistent helpfulness, and Christina's delightful breakfast service were just a few of the highlights. Their kindness and professionalism truly elevated our experience. The hotel is impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and conveniently located near all the must-see spots. The in-house restaurant, overlooking the Venetian port, is a culinary dream come true. The stunning views combined with delectable cuisine made our dining experiences unforgettable. Exploring Chania was a breeze, thanks to the hotel's strategic location. Whether it was arranging tours or strolling through the city streets, the staff's guidance made everything effortlessly accessible. I wholeheartedly recommend Amphora Hotel to anyone planning a visit to Chania. I am already looking forward to returning for future adventures. Warmest regards, Karineh

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!

Really great place to stay. Right over at a restaurant right on the harbor. Make sure you opt for the breakfast which is probably the best breakfast I’ve ever had. The food in the restaurant downstairs is also out of this world.

Lovely old property right in the heart of the old town. Large roof terrace with wonderful views of the harbour. Our room also had a great harbour view. The staff were really helpful and friendly, both on the front desk and in the breakfast room, and their English is excellent. The restaurant was right on the harbour edge with great food, good non-pushy service. We would definitely stay again.

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.
