Hotel Amphora

Highly recommend Amphora. The staff went above and beyond, helping us with taxi, extra beds, booking day trips, etc. Thank you Sophia, August, Effi, and Georgia..you were all amazing ! To the cooks in the kitchen, Bravo! breakfast incredible with so many healthy options like yoghurt, tahini, chia seeds, nuts...along with freshly baked low sugar pastries, fluffy eggs, delicious cheese...dinners also great-particularly enjoyed the salmon linguine. Rooms -beautiful, Staff- AMAZING!!!, food-delicious, location-pretty and convenient.

Perfect location, overlooking the action in the centre of town. Breakfast was on the waterfront, all the staff we met were pleasant, and being out of season the value was excellent. Come and visit, and try and get room 20. 200 words seems like a lot but i made it!

We picked Hotel Amphora in Chania town after reading a good few reviews and descriptions in the ‘Rough Guide’ book. There are many good looking boutique hotels in Chania but this hotel sounded authentically Greek and we thought we’d made a good choice. Whilst the customer service is good at reception etc, and rooms comfortable, our 3 night stay was a bit disappointing. Room was bland and lacked character and our harbour view obscured by air conditioning units. Breakfast was very poor, with not-so fresh salads and cooked items, tired looking pastries and stale breads. The coffee was really awful - served from a push button machine - never good! We asked for fresh filter coffee and got a jug of cold brew. Housekeeping was great though, and that was appreciated.

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!

I loved my stay at the Amphora hotel! It was centrally located in the old port area and had amazing views from my room. I recommend getting a room facing the port. The staff was very kind. Chania's Old Port area has lots of options for dining and drinking and things to see and do. There are no cars in the area so taxis will leave you at a certain point then you would have to walk the rest. Not a major thing and having no car traffic adds to the charm of the area. My favorite thing however was just sitting out on one of the terraces of the hotel and just look out onto the port with a glass of wine. Such a beautiful experience.

Wonderful hotel, great location. Everyone working at the hotel was very friendly and helpful.

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

Dear Antonios. The only way I could respond to your comments was to write another review. Here is my response. A five star meal isn't just about the food, it's about the whole experience. I cannot fault the food and your kitchen deserve five stars. To get five stars from me as an overall experience, the service as well as the food has to be exemplary. Hospitality is as important to me as fine food. For example - The waiter should fill our wine glasses, we shouldn't do it ourselves - at least not every time. The waiter should ask us how we found our meal, in this case he did not. A five star experience for me is one where I feel my custom is valued and I feel 'special'. I did not. I felt like just another tourist in the everyday running of a busy, popular restaurant. The restaurant wasn't full, busy yes, but not full. We say in English 'the devil is in the detail' and the small details were missing. I hope you do not find this a harsh criticism, it is not meant to be. You don't need my good opinion, you are in a prime position at the harbour. You will be popular regardless. You have a fabulous restaurant, but it isn't quite five star - yet.

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!
