Gorgeous property in the perfect location to enjoy views of the water, amazing restaurants (including the fantastic restaurant below with the friendliest staff). We stayed in the Fabric room facing the harbour and it was gorgeous! The staff at the front desk were so helpful in their recommendations for parking and activities in the area.

Very well positioned, right on the Chania harbour. Checking was hassle free. The reception staffs are very polite and helpful. The breakfast was well served downstairs restaurant where we enjoyed the harbour view. The breakfast restaurant was one of the best we had in Chania. Will come again. Highly recommended.

Stunning and charming hotel!

What a gem! Staff was very sweet and helpful and my room....I took a video and sent it to my friends back in the US. I truly enjoyed this hotel in every way. The complimentary breakfast was TOP NOTCH. I've never had a breakfast so wonderful! My room (Fabric) was absolutely adorable with an amazing view of the water. I slept with my window open all night and enjoyed the sound of the water. 100% book a stay here. As an American used to "chain" hotels, I cannot say enough about this hotel! I will be back and I will bring friends!

Bonito hotel,algo inconveniente si llevas maletas

El hotel está bien, el servicio también, solo que aunque está muy bien situado es inconveniente si llevas maletas y te cuesta trabajo cargarlas. Ya que los coches no llegan hasta el hotel, Debes llevarlas por dos cuadras de piso empedrado (espero que si llevan ruedas tus maletas aguanten) y después para llegar al hotel subirlas unos 15 escalones. No hay nadie en el hotel que pueda ayudarte; así que no se si yo lo llamaría un hotel de lujo. Si vas de viaje con una mochila este es el hotel perfecto! La verdad es bonito y bien ubicado.

We really enjoyed our stay, The location is excellent. The hotel style matched the area. There are tons of nice restaurantes near by. Because the location, our taxi was not able to drop us by the entrance. We needed to walk a little bit but was not terrible. However, when leaving, the taxi was able to pick up us at the entrance because it was early in the morning and at that time there is no much traffic. Overall, we really like the hotel and the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is beautiful, with spacious clean rooms. The staff is nice. We had an urban facing room just a few steps above ground level, and the noise level at night made it very difficult to sleep. Lot of people hanging out until 2–3 AM right outside our room. The location of the hotel is great in old town so it’s a trade off. Our flight arrived late at night and the middle of the night check-in turned into an adventure. We had to carry large suitcases down 50 steps to reach the hotel and then carry them up to reach the hotel elevator. Best to have the hotel arrange for airport pickup with a driver that knows the area. Our taxi driver had no clue how to get to the port level so he dropped us off 2 blocks away and 50 steps above the hotel property.

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!

The property itself was beautiful. The people who work at the hotel were very helpful. The major issue I had is that the closest parking was a 1/2 mile away. We were not even able to drop our luggage off at the door or close to the hotel. In addition to this the reception area was on the second floor and the stairs were narrow and hard to navigate.
