Very friendly and welcoming staff, special thanks to the young lady at the reception and the bartender who went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. Modern and well-equipped rooms. Beautiful view of the sea, the fortress and the coastline. A small beach is right in front of the hotel, perfect for a quick swim. The pool terrace with sun loungers and a bar adds to the relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was excellent — fresh, tasty, with local products, a nice mix of continental options and Greek specialties with plenty of vegetables, fruits and treats. A nice personal touch at the end: the hotel owner came to say goodbye. Highly recommended!

The stay was incredible. The staff was very helpful, they all went out of their way to make our stay perfect. We had no problem during our stay in the hotel. The rooms were very clean, as well as common areas of the hotel. The location is great, the area is very quiet, but it's close to the city centre, the beach is across the street, a lot of great waterfront restaurants are nearby. The breakfast in the hotel was great, the food was diverse, fresh and very tasty. The staff helped us with everything, arranged a lot of things for us, we didn't worry about anything there. In general, the experience in this hotel was amazing, we were very pleased with staff, and it definitely exceeded our expectations.

I loved the hotel itself- so clean and beautiful. The location was PERFECT! The most adorable beach just right across the road and an easy walking distance to the old town and restaurants. The food available from the pool bar was amazing and the service by Andreas was so perfect. And the staff were all SO GREAT! We were so warmly welcomed by Mr. Stelios who took such care with our check in’s We had a lot of fun just hanging out by the pool, enjoying the views or walking into old town. There is also a 24 hour convenience store just across from the hotel which was great.

This property was amazing. The view was spectacular and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. It was the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had. The pools were clean and gorgeous views from as well as working elevators which was needed for my daughter with a disability. Out front there is an amazing swimming area in the sea and we walked to a fabulous taverna for dinner and were near a grocery, the bus station and easy walk to town. I recommend highly.

I liked everything about this property. It was better than expected and very personable and clean.

The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to the old town (10 minutes). Many restaurants and shops in the surrounding. Room is clean, spacious, breathtaking view from the balcony over the sea and the old town. Very good and large bathroom. The room, the bathroom are both modern and comfortable, also the bed. Breakfast is delicious. There is lot of free parking near the hotel which is an added value if you want to rent a car. In front of the hotel, crossing the road, there is a cozy sand beach, crystal clear water, with a small bay where family can swim safely. We love it so much. Not to forget the friendly team in the hotel. Even the owner of the hotel (Mr.Stelios) was available and provided us with needed assistance and tips which made our stay superb. Definitely we will come again especially after finding out how beautiful Rethymno is.

Staff is really friendly. Excellent recommendations for small stunning beaches and good restaurants. Hotel kept very clean. Nice view on the sea and 15 mntn walk into the old town.

Airco made a lot of noice in the bedroom, but was fine in the living room. We had a room with a spa bath, with no place to hang the shower head so not easy to have a shower. We arrived early and there was not really a place to leave luggage, other than taking it to a hot pool area and wait there. Not ideal. We were with 4 people and only could have 1 key to the room. Understand the extra key cant be used to keep the airco going but 1 key for a family with older kids that also want to explore things on their own is not sufficient.

Exceptionally friendly, helpful and knowledgeable host and staff. It was great to be welcomed to the hotel and found out great information about places to explore in neighborhood and region The breakfast was good and balconies and porches added good value

All was good

Room views were fantastic, the beach was a five minute walk straight across the road and easily accessible, the hotel was clean and the staff extremely friendly. The breakfasts were always cooked fresh, were really nice and had lots of variety.

Not a huge issue but our room aircon could have been a little colder as it was very hot in the day, the 9th floor was a great view, very quiet and really nice but the trade off was 3 separate elevators or lots of stairs to get up there but it didn't spoil our visit at all and the exercise was welcome, so would we go on the 9th floor again - yes so it obviously wasn't a problem.

There was a beautiful view of the pool and sea from our 9th floor room balcony. The pool was large, clean, and very nice. There was a pool bar and food available. There were loungers on the pool deck overlooking the sea and city. The manager was very friendly and helpful showing us to our room, where the best restaurants were located, and places to drive to with excellent beaches. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was provided by the hotel. The hotel is located about a 20 minute walk from the old town center. This area is flat and easily walkable. If you choose to walk along the seawall it is a more scenic walk. A city bus also runs into town. There are many shops, restaurants, and bars. The beach in town near the strip of bars was not worth spending time on in my opinion. This hotel had a small, rocky beach across the street that was not crowded. The hotel provides you with beach towels. The beach is good for a swim in the sea, but not for lingering for hours. At this time of year, we were able to find free parking near the hotel, but in very busy times I imagine this could be a challenge later in the summer. We did not meet ANY Americans at the hotel. The hotel was surprised we chose to stay there. I encourage my fellow Americans to check this place out. The staff speaks English and there is no problem staying in this area.

Breakfast was provided by the hotel. We stayed only two nights and there was some variety in the food. Many items were served cold and crescents, etc were warmed up in the oven and not fresh. The staff was working hard to replenish items. Fresh boiled eggs and 2 hot dishes were offered each day which was good. The food, however, was plentiful. If you stay on a high floor 5+, be aware that you must use three different small elevators to reach those floors or use stairs. My husband and and I were on the 9th floor and had no problem using either, but if you have mobility problems, just be aware of the fact the hotel is on a hillside.

- stuff - great host Stelios - clean room, what you get is what you see on the pictures - great view from the room

- location in fact is bad: it's in an industrial part of the city, surrounded by car services, gasoline stations, etc. All the restaurants are at least 15mins away. The beach in front of the hotel is quite small, dirty and rocky, and the main blue flag beach is around 30-40 mins away from the hotel - as for us, breakfast was a bit late - from 8:30 till 10:30. We used to get up early and would rather have breakfast earlier. Also, because of the late time, it was often overcrowded at 8:30 and even people have to wait for an available table
