Ambassadors Residence Boutique Hotel

Great location on the water in Old Town Chania. Beautiful hotel and room and attentive staff. Breakfast at the waterfront restaurant included. Parking can be a big challenge. There is a free lot nearby, but it fills quickly. Most days, several blocks away in a paid garage. If you're traveling with a lot of luggage, it can be a challenge to get to the hotel. Google map walking directions sent us on an unnecessary hike up a large hill and down a lot of steps with luggage. You can instead drop one person and luggage at the end of Daskalogianni street in Old Town and walk a short flat distance to the hotel. Hotel has a spiral staircase to reception and the second floor rooms. They have a slow elevator for handicap or special needs.

What a spectacular location. This hotel is more like a home, with comfortable and large rooms. The amenities, the design features, and the overalll aesthetic is beachy modern old world European if there is such a thing . We thoroughly enjoyed a delightful stay at this gorgeously renovated boutique hotel right on the harbor inside the breakwall in Chania. The wonderful staff is present 24/7. The on site restaurant offers generous portions for a family style breakfast ( included) lunch and dinner. There was need to go anywhere else for breakfast/brunch served til 11, and the dinner was even more amazing with the best service staff and delicious food. Local wine and Raki were flowing as we devoured an incredible dry-aged tomahawk steak, cheese, honey, olives and dessert. This was a perfect location for our family for a 3-day weekend in Crete, our teens had the huge Paper Room with a classic old-world city view and we enjoyed the beautiful seaside Wooden Room on the same floor. Water and coffee are provided at no charge, with a mini bar and soft drinks available in your room. Room service is available from the restaurant upon request. The aesthetic of the hotel is nothing short of spectacular. Five stars in our view - excellent thoughtful amenities, just gorgeously decorated, and soft comfy beds. Located in the Old Town it is safe walking distance to everything east and west in the harbor and town. It’s an easy, very pretty and fun 2-hour drive along the coast east to The Palace of Knossos and a stop on your way back for lunch at the Venetian Harbor in Reythymnon - that day gave us California Highway 1 vibes. Highly recommend.

Fantastic location right on the water in the Old Venetian Port.Beautifully appointed rooms each with a different theme eg Ceramic and Wood.Beds are super comfortable and everything is provided.Room service comes from an external restaurant underneath the Hotel.Very capable and friendly staff.

The parking spaces in the old town are very full. In many cases you have to park far away and walk with suitcases. Especially after 18:00, it is a miracle to find parking. There is no breakfast in the hotel. For breakfast they lead to a steakhouse (On the lower floor of the building) with an outside entrance. A very simple breakfast is served. There is no similarity between the style of the hotel and the breakfast or the restaurant. If you stay in room with a sea view the location means something. Also the rooms are very clean. Also we upgraded in a two floor room. However the bathroom was downstairs and it was not convenient. We travel to many cities in Crete during this trip. Stayed in similar hotels. This one is the only one which disappointed us.

This boutique hotel in the old harbour of Chania is stunning. Every room is different, themed according to a material (ours was wood, our daughter’s was brick) and the decoration changes accordingly. We had amazing harbour views with ever changing light and sailboats. Staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and discrete at the same time, perfect combination. There is no restaurant but breakfast is at the nearby Pallas bakery and bar - highly recommended in its own right. We were also given great recommendations for local restaurants for dinner.

Our stay was perfect from the word go. We expressed some concern with our room on checking in but they promptly upgraded us to a suite. Brilliant location, excellent facilities, and exceptional people. They attended to our every need and request with courtesy and a genuine sprit of hospitality. Strongly recommended and we will come again.

My wife and I had an amazing 3 night stay at The Ambassador’s Residence Hotel. The suite has amazing harbor views, the hotel is on the waterfront in the Old Town so walking distance to a huge array of restaurants and stores. Maria and the hotel staff were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, setting up restaurant, car, and walking tour bookings and making our whole stay tremendously enjoyable. A really great hotel and experience. Well done!
