    A perfect but quiet location in the heart of the Old Town. A smart hotel with a nice pool, comfortable rooms, fresh towels and cleaned every day. A very good breakfast selection but don't expect a full English! Highly recommended.

    nothing to say here.

    A spacious breakfast room with the option eating out in the garden area. Up on the roof ( access on the 3rd floor ) there was a great view of the hotel pool from above.....the pool was very pleasant, with enough sunbeds for all who were there. From the balcony of our street - facing room we had a good view of life in the street outside. Location was very good: close to the old town area, easy to find from the bus station and very close to the Venetian fortress.

    Breakfast spread a bit ‘meh’ (go to galero), no coffee facilities in rooms, fridge in room a little noisy- but with air on you don’t hear it anyway. If you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs.

    Location, nice pool, lovely staff. Shop right across road for cheap water and a varied amount of everything- you have a little fridge in room, use it for lunch stuff (and cold beers :))

    It was totally fine! The only thing I didn’t like was the coffee at the breakfast— it was a powdered espresso from a machine… You can get decent coffee (from ground beans at the bar for extra $), but why not have a good espresso machine at the breakfast buffett?

    We loved the pool and the fact that there was parking (10 Euro) right next to the hotel! Parking is challenging in old town, so this is a big plus! Everyone who worked at the hotel was warm and friendly. There is also a handy grocery store across the street!

    Hotel right in the middle of Rethimno with paid parking (10 Euro) available. Room had everything we needed. Hot shower, cold AC. The included morning breakfast was absolutely delicious as well. Do not underestimate the value of parking in Rethimno. It has a very cute and compact old town! Great hotel! My wife and I recommend it.

    Sometimes the music at the pool but they changed it if you ask them to:)

    The pool was wonderful for us and our 7 years old. The location is very practical near a very good restaurant called Avli The hotel is very clean and the staff is kind. Great value

    The breakfast was limited in choice, if you are happy with greek yoghurt and salad and breads great. If you are wanting something warm, may not be best place.

    The staff were friendly and very helpful. The hotel is very well located for bars restaurants and shops. Rooms were very clean and spacious.

    Very difficult to find due to it being on a small one way street (on the right), immediately before the beginning of the city’s main walking street. No cars allowed on the walking street. Also, the property is “no smoking”, yet the room reeked of cigarettes. Thank god the window and balcony door opened.

    Great small hotel located in old town.

    We had no complaints.

    The buffet breakfast was generous, varied and delicious. The pool was an unexpected and welcome pleasure after a hot day exploring Rethymno. The staff were unfailingly helpful, the hotel was pretty and comfortable and is well placed on the fringes of the old town: all this for a very reasonable price.
