THE BEST HOTEL IN RETHIMNO!!! If i could give this hotel 20 more stars, it still would not do it the justice it deserves. When we arrived on the Wednesday it was still pretty early, but we were welcomed with such a warm friendly smile and a nice shot of Raki. Even though we weren't scheduled to check in until 3pm, we were immediately given our key and told the room was ready. And what a room we had (we booked a junior suit), spacious, super clean, huge balcony, mini fridge, comfortable bed, you name it we had it. The staff here are what makes this hotel the crown jewel of RETHIMNO, the service makes you feel like one of the family, whatever you need, they are there to help you. Need help renting a car, its taken care of. Need help with local restaurants, they have a list. Want to visit some beautiful less touristy places, they have a list for that too. Want a massge in your room, they will make it happen. Nothing is too big an ask. The pool is the perfect size with enough beds around it, they have pool towels waiting for you when you come down stairs, the cocktails are to die for and with a 24hour serviced bar and reception even those midnight munchies aren't a problem. Then we have the fantastic breakfast, chef Jana and her team make sure that there is a variation everyday so that you have a variety of tasty delights to try. They welcome you with a warm smile and a very goodmorning. Then there is the view, holy moly... its spectacular. You eat breakfast on the 5th floor rooftop with a full view of rethimno and all its glory. From the venetian harbour to fortezza castle, the rooftop offers a magical view to accompany your morning coffee. This hotel is a budget friendly, yet screams quiet luxury and that's mostly thanks to the amazing staff. I cannot express my thanks enough to George, Jana and the whole team at Menta, they made our 10 day stay in Rethimno absolutely magical and we will certainly be back as soon as possible.

The staff were incredible, so welcoming and friendly and gave great advice on restaurants and places to go. The hotel itself was beautiful, great facilities and the breakfast each morning was great. The hotel was very clean and our room was cleaned daily. The pool area was very nice and the sunlloungers were very comfortable.The woman cooking breakfast would explain each of the dishes she had cooked that morning and every morning she made different options so it was varied and of great quality. Thanks George and Michaelis for making our stay so memorable.

Nothing, keep doing what you are doing Menta. We had a wonderful stay.

The hotel Menta was a great choice. We were very satisfied with our room (it might have been a junior suite). The room had a balcony with a sea view and was located on the upper floors. It was spacious and clean in every way. The bathroom was in (fairly) good condition. There was plenty of space for clothes in the closet. The balcony was delightful; plain but spacious. Views in almost all directions. There was also space for the car near the hotel on an empty lot. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere at the hotel was relaxed. In March, everything was still off-season which made our visit seemingly peaceful. The breakfast was decent. Good savory pastries in addition to all kinds of traditional sweets. We didn't try the swimming pool but we did swim in the sea despite the cold water. It takes 15-30 minutes to walk from the hotel to the beach and the town center - old and new.

There were some minor issues with the shower equipment. The kitchen did not quite meet expectations. It was poorly equipped. F.ex. the water did not come out properly from the tap. The hotel's location might cause problems for those with mobility issues, but taxis are always available. No more to blame. Mostly a well-functioning hotel.

They upgraded me to an upper-floor bedroom (I was originally booked for a ground-floor room). The view from my balcony was wonderful. The room was large with a separate area hosting the fridge, sink, kettle and with a small table/chairs. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. They gave me recommendations for where to eat. Breakfast was excellent - I had a guided tour of what was on offer by the head chef and enjoyed the view from the 5th floor over Rethymno.

It wasn't clear to me from my booking confirmation that there was hotel parking, only that there was free public parking close to the location. I wish I'd known about the car park, as I drove round for ages trying to find a parking spot and then spent even longer getting it out as I'd been hemmed in! But that is it. Lovely spot. It didn't bother me, but there is a steep hill back up to the hotel from the town centre - so pack your trainers :-)

The receptionist (co- owner) was very welcoming. He was the only member of staff that I saw during my 1 night stay, he was attentive and gave me an room upgrade. The decoration and the bar area near the pool is lovely and was unexpected for the location. Vital that they have created a new parking area. The room was quiet and I had a good night sleep which for me is the MOST important thing.

I was there for work in March, so it was out of season. The offering of food in the bar area could be better. Some more staff rather than 1 person doing everything, but I was there in March in low season.

Amazing hotel, very clean and modern. Big rooms and terrace. The pool is very nice, you are able to swim and is never crowded. The atmosphere around the pool is also nice, chill music and chairs to relax. The breakfast was amazing, the chef welcomed us and explained the whole menu, it's a mix of classic breakfast with greek food. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Gym is also nice and well equipped. We always had a parking spot right outside the hotel on the street, it's not very crowded. It pretty much exceeded our expectations from a 3 star hotel, they should definitely get 4 stars.

The location is a little far from the beach and you have to walk uphill, but if you don't mind walking it's not a problem.

Very cozy hotel close to the old town of Rethymno. The rooms are very spacious and well-appointed. The beds are super comfortable. The reception staff are very hospitable, friendly and fun. They are genuinely interested in the guests and cater to their needs. Our daughter loved chatting with them:) The breakfast was good. We are not fond of pies but it seemed like many people loved them. Our daughter loved the pool.

If you stay more than a couple of days the breakfast gets a bit boring. The pies change but the rest is the same and if you don’t like the pies…. But for a city hotel I think it’s normal. Also we missed proper butter. There was mostly margarine. A lot of walking up and down the hill. Was totally fine for us though. Extra workout after a nice dinner in the old town 😄.

A beautiful, modern and quite hotel with a super friendly, helpful staff that make you smile every day with their sense of humour. 100% good vibes. They also helped me to find a mechanic for our rented car and phoned there in advance to make sure they would do the job the same day. Wow! The breakfast on the rooftop was delightful and the staff there is also very helpful and happy to explain you about the homemade cakes of the day (try the bougatsa or the vegan chocolate cake!) or serve you a great greek coffee in a minute. Thank you all for making our stay such a pleasure! You can walk to the Old Town of Rethymno in a few minutes but if you feel lazy, at the hotel they can heat you up some focaccias or pizzas to eat by the pool in the evening. Totally recommended. Efgaristó polí.

You have to walk 12-15 minutes from here to the Center and the streets are a bit dark and steepy to walk up and down at night. It can also take some time to find a place to park your rented car in the neighbourhood in the peak season, but anyway it's better here than staying in the Old Town, obviously, where you will need to park a few hundred meters away. Said that, we still think it was a great choice. And you can't have a swimingpool in other smaller hotels!

Very comfortable room. Shower was one of the best Ive used. Bed was clean and soft. Modern amenities, air conditioning system, lighting, outlets, etc. The breakfast was top notch, with both normal breakfast foods (i.e. eggs and bacon) and also some homemade breads, and baked casseroles. Breakfast is also on the roof with great view of the city. Hotel also has 24 hour lobby bar, 24 hour reception, swimming pool with lounge chairs and gym. The property host was very friendly, greeting me whenever I left/entered.

While the location is walkable to the old town, it is about 20 minutes walk on a hill

The breakfast offering was excellent with choices of continental and cooked items. The cook proudly explained the selection each morning. The view of the old town and harbor from the breakfast room was panoramic. Great gyro restaurant within walking distance. Helpful reception staff. They will organize a laundry service if needed.

If you have a car then parking in the vicinity can be challenging. Narrow and often packed streets. There is not a hotel car park. Be prepared for about a 15-minute walk to the old town with a quite steep incline on the way back. There are only limited parking facilities near the old town.
