Friendly & helpful staff
4.0 / 5.0
The property is very nice and refurbished well and positioned well in the old town regarding shopping, restaurants and sightseeing
The only thing we didn't like was the breakfast option available which was preparing by a nearby restaurant.
5.0 / 5.0
The room was very big with lots of light and great temperature. The staff were always helpful. The only thing that wasn’t the best (although good enough) was the breakfast at the restaurant downstairs that was very limited.
Thank you for the great stay.

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.
4.0 / 5.0
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!

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!

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.

Great stay all around and super friendly staff! They gave us a room for an extra day at no cost because our return flight was delayed until late evening - super nice!

Loved everything about our stay. The location was wonderful- near all the sites and right outside the city walls. The decor was lovely and the breakfast incredible- down by the water. Will stay again.

5.0 / 5.0
Fantastic property. Newly renovated. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Paid for a harbor view and got upgraded to a suite with a sun sitting area of windows with a majestic view of the harbor. Even though the city is lively to late hours, the windows and shades provide a very quiet rest.
They also have a great arrangement with Pallas restaurant. I paid for breakfast included but all meals are nicely done. Be sure to ask for help with other restaurant reservations - everyone is eager for you to enjoy the best (and let them fight the mean gatekeepers that will always tell you the place is too busy until 1030). Spend more time here - Chania is much much nicer than Heraklion.
My one funny issue is that the fancy hardwood platform that the bed is on sticks way out and I massacred my feet and ankles smashing into it multiple times a watch out!!

Huge room, funky design. Clean, lovely staff. Fantastic breakfast. Could have slept better with a dark curtain/blind over the big balcony door. Woken up every early morning by glass recycling thrown into a bin.

We loved our stay! Staff so friendly and helpful. We were given a free upgrade and had a balcony overlooking the harbour. We enjoyed sitting there to watch the amazing sunsets. Room so comfortable and clean. The Cretan breakfast was delicious, portions are huge. I would definitely come back and stay. The location is fabulous and its not noisy like further along the harbour. Loved our 5 nights here!

This was the first stop on our honeymoon and absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough great things about the hotel altogether which includes the room, staff, location and breakfast! We were in love with our room which was a junior suite with a sea view...so much so that we actually chose to lounge around in the alcove that overlooks the lighthouse (and we never normally spend time in our hotel rooms whilst on vacation). I didn’t see any of the other rooms but I would highly recommend the one we stayed in due to the expansive windows which were incredible. We loved the proximity to all of the amazing restaurants and bars, and there was a great beach less than a ten minute cab ride from the hotel which the staff helped arrange, in addition to our rental car which we used to get from Chania to Agios Nikolaous. Thank you to Ambassadors Residence for setting a great standard for the rest of our honeymoon!

Every aspect of this hotel exceeded my expectations. I never wanted to leave.

We had a rental car and we made every attempt to get to the hotel but all the streets around the hotel were blocked. We were informed in a very curt manner that we need ignore the barricades and go around them so WE can unload our bags. We would then have to go find public parking somewhere in the city and walk back. We decided not to stay. I highly do not recommend for travelers with vehicles.

Beautiful room, unique hotel on edge of Old Harbour. Great location. Spotless room. Great breakfast at cafe nearby.
The only complaint is that a couple of staff were very dour and almost unwelcoming. One young lad was friendly and warm.

Location is both a bit difficult to get to, as well as lovely and worth the hike. The bed was very comfortable and had a spacious bathroom.

Excellent location right on the harbour with beautiful views from our room out onto the yachts in the harbour. Our room was stylishly decorated and spotlessly clean. The staff were helpful in organising a tour to see Samaria gorge.

An amazing hotel with amazingly friendly and professional hosts. I can really recommend this place to stay. We have received an upgrade to a suite which my friends and I enjoyed a lot. For sure I will come back! Thank you for your great hospitality!

I stayed 4 days there for my trip.
The hotel was not bad, but one of the hotel staff is the worst I have ever met.
We arrived there at 11pm. We asked how to part before arrival, and thet told to stop the square near the hotel to drop the luggauage and callthe hotel to pick the lugguage up. The parking area was far from the hotel.
We parked at the free parking area and went to the hotel directely. The hotel has some steps so I said the staff to help the lugguage move. But the staff golden haired said she caould not help us. Then she just came down the stairs and help 1 lugguage to move to the lift. We had 3 luggauges.
She was very unkind while all of my stays. The other staffs were good, but just 1 staff was the worst.
The hotel has no parking lot so it was inconvient but I will not go there again because of the staff!!!

Small hotel overlooking the old port
Could be noisy in the busy summer season due to its location above a taverna

It was a very nice hotel right in the heart of the harbor. Free breakfast at a restaurant down the street (amazing). A bit expensive but perfect for our honeymoon.
5.0 / 5.0
Cool and memorable with fantastic location. Our experience at this hotel enriched our entire trip. From the front door you will know that you are somewhere special. The imagination and care of the decor is just a part of how wonderfully this old building has been transformed. We started our stay in the Cement room and then we were moved to the Mosaic because it's a little bigger and has a balcony and the staff was treating us like royalty! The owner took us around to the rooms that were available so that we could see how each room is different in it's decor. The accommodation of space in the bathroom and rooms is excellent. The towels are big and soft. There is coffee in the room. Breakfast is served in the nearby restaurant and it is delicious and more than ample. (We were told that we might have noise because the bands and dining areas were below our balcony but it didn't bother us because it ended early.) The windows open to great views in the Mosaic room. Exceptional in every way.

I don't often write reviews, but this hotel is a real gem. The location is right in the middle of the old harbour and walking distance to all the wonderful restaurants with our top 3 being Salis, Kariatis and Pallas. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Chania is a quaint seaside town, full of good food, welcoming locals and sunshine. We had a wonderful stay at the Ambassador hotel and Chania and we look forward to coming back in the near future.

The hotel was perfect in every way. Don’t even look at any others. This is best hotel in Chania! Staff totally helpful, rooms beautiful, location great. Breakfast daily was so nice overloooking the water and they even arranged for us to use another hotel pool when we wanted to swim.

Room was very spacious and a modern interpretation of a grand old waterfront building. Location is great, with most rooms facing the harbour. A very substantial breakfast is served at the Pallas restaurant, a few buildings down along the harbour.

The location is good, friendly staff, and great breakfast.
