Wow - a hidden gem in the beautiful old town. The perfect mix of hotel meets small and family run and owned. The location is incredible, in the heart of the beautiful old town and a short walk to the beach. The welcome from Eirini and her care the whole stay was amazing, her restaurant recommendations were the best! The apartment we stayed in was bigger that we expected and just lovely - perfect for us as a family of 4. The hotel itself was beautiful and you can tell every inch was loving restored. The hotel pool was perfect for a dip and the perfect setting for a cold beer by the pool and some cards while the kids had a dip. Peaceful, a hidden gem of the old town. We can’t wait to return again

Nothing, it was idyllic

We stayed at Mythos Suites for our honey/babymoon and we could not have made a better choice! The location was perfect in the old city center with parking close by and many options to eat. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It is run by a family and you can feel that. No worries if you don't know what to do or where to eat, they will give you a whole travel itinerary if you would like it. The breakfast is small but of good quality and, most importantly, with local products. Which is, for us at least, of more importance than abundance. The courtyard is calm and quiet and makes for a relaxing place to sit outside after a long day of exploring or just a relaxing day at the pool. We stayed in the Executive Suite, the room was large with a separate bedroom upstairs, so we had plenty of space. All in all this hotel is a perfect choice for those seeking a quiet but central location, a personal approach to hospitality and morning greetings in the courtyard by the hotel cat!

We came to Mythos Suites 10 years ago and had a truly wonderful stay. 10 years later we returned to find it even more magical than the first time. This hotel is an absolute gem. It’s right in the heart of the Old Town, which is full of great bars, shops and restaurants, but yet, as soon as you set foot in the hotel the noise of the town fades away. It’s so peaceful and tranquil in the hotel. We enjoyed wiling away evenings in the sun on our balcony, overlooking the charming pool. The rooms are spacious, clean, and stylish and the breakfast was lovely: a smorgasbord of homemade Greek pastries, fresh fruit and other homemade local delicacies. However, above all, what makes this hotel is the staff. It’s a family run hotel and they were some of the loveliest people we’ve met. Eirini and Eva went to great lengths to make our stay a truly memorable one. 10 years ago I would have given this hotel a 10/10, and now it’s more deserving of a 12/10. It’s a tranquil idyl in the heart of Old Town Rethymno.

I have nothing bad to say.

Mythos suites is absolutely beautiful. We had an executive and junior suite, both were amazing, and all the communal areas, especially around the pool were stunning. Staff were all incredibly welcoming and helpful, very attentive and would do anything to help. Room came with breakfast, which was lots of lovely Cretan specialities which the owner explained all came from local producers or was home made. Location was amazing, in the old town, nothing more than 10 minutes walk away.

Mythos Suites Boutique Hotel is wonderful. It's incredibly classy, but in an effortless and unfussy way that means it is also extremely relaxed and relaxing. Eirini and her team are magnificent - keeping everything running smoothly, always there to help but never in the way. Breakfast is brilliant - lots of local and delicious produce on offer, and if you get the chance to try Eirini's rice pudding or her mum's coffee cake then you have to take the chance! And the location is great, right in the old town but with very easy access to the beach too. With only about eight rooms it is small and everything feels very personal. This is one of my favourite hotels. Thank you, Eirini and all of your team!

It was completely idyllic - we loved it all.

Mythos Suites is an extraordinary hotel on an extraordinary island. It is situated in the centre of the old town, yet a quiet place. The old port, the beaches and most of the restaurants are within walking distance. They have really nice rooms , arranged around a beautiful courtyard with pool. But above all you will hardly find a hotel with a more warmhearted charming and cosy atmosphere. Irini, the owner, is a very charming and friendly young lady who, together with her team, offers real hospitality and perfect service.

—- Everything was more than perfect

Irini, the daughter of the owners, greeted us on our arrival and was a daily presence at the hotel. Her warmth and advice on local matters were very welcome. The included breakfast was fresh and varied and catered for all tastes. The room was cleaned daily with towels also changed. Although situated in the town the layout of the building means that the rooms and central courtyard were devoid of any traffic / pedestrian noise. The Mythos suite is a peaceful hotel with great staff who made our stay very pleasant and we have no hesitation recommending it.

Exceptionally friendly and helpful family run hotel, perfectly located in the Old Town, providing a peaceful oasis from the hustle and bustle of Rethymno. I am coeliac and require a gluten free diet. The staff went out of their way to accommodate this, by buying GF bread and baking GF cakes for me for breakfast! They also provided excellent restaurant recommendations as well as great tips on what to see during our trips out of the centre. They gave us a beach umbrella for the duration of our stay that we could take out with us - essential in the heat! The hotel also kindly booked our taxi airport transfers for us which made things a lot less stressful. Our room was large, comfortable, and cool, and kept very clean. There was a fridge, microwave and kettle which was very useful for days when we didn't want to eat out at lunch time. There were extra pillows provided too, and beach towels. We were welcomed with a bottle of Greek wine and a specialist honey cake. Because the hotel is small, when we used the pool it felt like a private pool - it was rare that multiple people were using it at the same time! We would love to come back to Rethymno again in the future and we wouldn't hesitate to book Mythos Suites again.

If we were staying longer than one week, it would have been useful to also have a hob and saucepan available in the kitchenette, but not essential.

YES STAY HERE! lovely family owned boutique property with a traditional cosy, welcoming feel. Perfect location for us to explore. large space with kitchenette /living downstairs & stairs to spacious bedroom with ensuite above. The rooms are focused on a central courtyard with pool which you need in 30 degree heat! Superb breakfast each morning and Irini our host was friendly & helpful & just FABULOUS Boutique shops & restaurants /cafes at your doorstep. Situated In the old town which is where you want to stay, but taxi could get us within a few metres of the accomodation. One block back from Harbour & swimming beach .

Beautiful, boutique hotel in a great location right in the heart of the old town. Close to fabulous shops, restaurants, bars and the sea. Despite its location, there is no noise from the bars and restaurants. The family that runs the hotel are warm and welcoming and very attentive. Nothing is too much trouble. The decor is lovely and the apartments are spacious, very clean and extremely comfortable. The breakfast is amazing, with plenty of choice. I thoroughly recommend this lovely hotel and the old town of Rethymno. We were there in late May and it was just beginning to liven up. I imagine it gets very popular in the summer months. The weather was amazing, even though it was early in the season.
