    Lovely hotel with very friendly staff. We felt very welcome. The hotel was rather calm when we were there so we had the pool to ourselves. We rested on the sun beds and enjoyed the sunset from there. Very good breakfast, every day a little different. Nice location, close to the city center and not noisy at all.

    The fridge was very old and looked unclean. It needs replacing as isnt up to the standard of the rest of the room/building. We mentioned that the air-con was not working properly (the room was very hot and stuffy) A staff member came to look and tried to reset everything, told us it was ok, but it still didn’t work. It was very uncomfortable in the room, but as we were only staying for one night we didn’t want to waste more time trying to get it sorted. We had to open the windows in the night which was not ideal.

    Situated below the Venetian Fort and in Old Town Rethymnon. Quirky property with lovely central courtyard, which our room and balcony overlooked. We had a generous sized junior suite, with a seating area, large double bed, bathroom and small kitchen area with fridge. Lots of restaurants and shops within short walking distance. A space in the car park opposite the apartments can be reserved when booking. Staff were helpful

    Very friendly staff! We were more than two hours early for check-in but could already go to our room. The car park is a big plus and is easily reachable without having to navigate the whole city. We stayed only one night but would have stayed in this hotel for longer stays too. Thank you again!

    To say the junior suite has a kitchenette is stretching it a bit. No microwave or oven, just a two ring hob, kettle and coffee machine. Nice big fridge, though. We were only there two nights so it didn’t really matter, but if you were there for longer and fancied cooking for yourselves one night you couldn’t do much more than pasta. The bathroom all worked and there was lots of hot water, but it was old fashioned and really needed updating. For instance still an old plastic shower curtain, not a screen, and the hairdryer was barely adequate with no heat control or speed control.

    Superb location close to the fortress and with easy access to the old town. The free private parking is a massive advantage. The staff were delightful and spoke excellent English. The breakfast was nice although not as extensive as some hotels. Our room (a junior suite) was spacious and comfortable. Balcony was nice to have but tiny. We would definitely go there again.

    You needed to be up very early to make the most of the breakfast, otherwise what was available was a little hit and Miss.

    The location of the hotel is wonderful for the old town, staff were superb, giving advice and recommendations. Absolutely huge bonus is that the hotel comes with free parking, essential if like us you hire a car to travel the island.

    The breakfast area is on the small side. The room decor could do with a small modernisation. The small kitchenette and sink in the corner seem out of place, as is the bathtub with curtains.

    Excellent location. Parking included which is a bonus. Friendly and attentive staff. Room was clean and fine. The place is cosy and functional. Good breakfast. Easy access to the old town and restaurants in 5 minutes walk. Not noisy at all.

    Lack of parasols on the roof terrace, but that is due to a civic law, so not the Hotel’s fault

    We loved its position with a view of the Fort and ability to walk into the old harbour and old town. The car park was a boon as parking is very difficult within old Rethymno  There was a dinky pool in which to cool off after exploring on foot or further afield. The bed was extremely comfortable and having Aircon in the bedroom area was very necessary.
