    friendly staff
    impressive breakfast
    relaxing pool area

    Super friendly staff greeted us every day with a lovely Kalimera! The breakfast was a highlight, offering an impressive buffet spread that was always fresh. The pool area was super relaxing with plenty of spots to unwind after exploring the lovely cobbled streets of the Old Town. Amazing location, right in the heart of everything, just minutes away from local tavernas and the harbor.

    Entirely satisfied.

    poor air conditioning
    awkward shower

    Oh, how delightful it was to find a shower that required acrobatics to use, and let’s not even start on the air conditioning. I’m not sure I’m the only guest who might prefer 19°C in summer, but of course, they had to treat someone like me ‘regularly’. This place could’ve been a gem, but I just couldn’t give it a good review.

    large pool

    Just a nice choice for a city break in Rethymno with best value. The hotel had a lovely large pool shaded by trees, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Book swimming time in advance to secure your spot.

    great location
    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    noisy street
    tricky shower

    the hotel is super cute and right in the center of rethymno, making it easy to explore. breakfast was buffett style with loads of tasty options, and the staff are really friendly! the pool area was nice and had plenty of sunbeds, and the rooms are comfy with good ac. also, there’s paid parking which is a lifesaver in this busy area.

    the shower could be a bit tricky to use and the noise from the street was kinda annoying at times.

    lovely hotel
    wonderful family
    fresh breakfast
    awkward shower setup

    We had an amazing stay at this lovely hotel run by a wonderful family. The location was perfect for exploring local spots, like the Loggia, a historic Venetian gentlemen's club. The breakfast was always fresh, with a variety of options to enjoy before hitting the beach. Don’t miss out on the lovely pool area. it’s perfect for relaxation after a day of adventure!

    While my experience was mostly great, the shower setup in our room was a bit awkward, requiring us to hold the showerhead, which wasn’t ideal.

    street noise

    great stay but minor issues

    The location was ideal! The hotel sits right in the center of Rethymno, making it easy to explore the charming old town. Morning breakfast options were fantastic, full of fresh and local flavors. Our room provided everything we needed, including a hot shower and efficient air conditioning, which was perfect for the summer heat. having paid parking available was a relief, as finding street parking in this area can be quite challenging.

    The noise from the street could be bothersome at times.

    pool area
    local attractions
    air conditioning

    Charming pool area surrounded by colorful flowering shrubs creates a relaxing vibe, perfect for unwinding. Convenient access to local attractions means a short stroll to explore the beautiful cobbled streets.

    The air conditioning leaves something to be desired. it's noisy and not quite effective enough for the summer heat, making sleep challenging on warm nights. The shower setup in the room can feel awkward, as you have to hold the showerhead due to the design — an odd choice that could be frustrating. The compact bathroom might not be ideal for everyone, especially if you're used to more space.

    Charming stay in the heart of the old town

    I had a lovely time exploring the charming streets of Rethymno, and my stay was greatly enhanced by the exceptional breakfast that featured freshly prepared items and delicious local flavors, which were consistently restocked. The staff really stood out for their personalized recommendations, making it easy for me to discover great local dining options. My room provided a quiet atmosphere overlooking the inviting pool area, surrounded by beautiful greenery, which made for a perfect relaxing retreat after a day of exploration.
