Olympic Palladium ★★★

📍 Moatsou 42, Rethymno

"Perfect location, away from the crowded old city center"

Atrium Ambiance Hotel

Atrium Ambiance Hotel ★★★★

📍 Mark. Portaliou 24, Rethymno

"We booked this hotel after reading all the positive reviews. And Although we can agree the hotel is well presented and is kept clean and tidy and in close proximity to the beach and around a 15 minute walk to old town that is about the most we will say is positive. We did not use the pool, pool bar or watch any entertainment that was on offer as this did not interest us. The pool is in shade for the majority of the day due to its location but that we agree is not at fault of the hotel. The rooms are nice, we paid for a superior pool view but we was given a road side view, this was rectified straightaway without any fuss, however the balcony we had was no wider that arms length so not an ideal place to sit and relax. No changing of towels daily, or bed linen. Now the main concern and honestly is what ruined our whole holiday and that was the food! Nothing we had either breakfast or evening meal was hot! Not one thing we ate, it was cold each time we ate there and over two weeks we only ate breakfast which again was pre made fried eggs, bacon, the usual. This forced us to eat outmost of the time even though we paid half board. The health risks associated to serving cold food which is meant to be hot really need to be addressed example Eggs should be made to order. It’s not a big hotel so this should be and easy fix. This hotel in our opinion caters more for its European guests rather than that of the British guests, I’m not sure if this hotel is new to Tui Uk guests but I would not book here again due to the issues raised."

Petradi Beach Lounge Hotel
8.0 (47 reviews)

Petradi Beach Lounge Hotel ★★★★

📍 Stamathioudaki 79, Rethymno

"We were a bit hesitant before coming here because of all the conflicting reviews, but it turned put to be one of the best vacations ever :) What was I looking for: - not a super fancy, expensive hotel as we wanted to go out and eat at various different restaurants - Check - direct access to the sea - Check - decent size pool and pool bar - Check - clean rooms and surroundings - Check - intimate vibe, boutique hotel, nice staff - Check Some useful points: - the breakfast is kind of basic BUT you will find things to eat every morning - the beach area is narrow and not really clean / maintained and the entrance a little rocky BUT once you get past the rocks it’s lovely, sandy and water is very clean - the rooms are small, it’s true we lived from the suitcase (but we are used to it :D) BUT we were still comfortable (AC works great, bed is very comfy, there are plenty of hangers, shower was good) It’s my 4th time in Crete and I’ve stayed at fancier hotels but to be honest I cannot say I wouldn’t consider coming back here, we felt great and had everything you can possibly want from a holiday. Places where we ate nearby (all good) Cavo - the absolute best in terms of food and vibe. Make sure to make a reservation as it gets full in the evening. It’s a 5-7 minutes walk for the hotel. Tanepa - huge portions, tasty food, located 3-5 minutes from Petradi Prima Plora - nice here as well, 5 min from the hotel We found these places much nicer than the restaurants in Rethymno, the food is better. It’s a big plus the hotel is located next to these :) So overall, we recommend Petradi 👍"

Ammos Suites ★★★★

📍 Ari Velouchioti 6, Rethymno

"This is simply an excellent small hotel. Our room had a hot tub and good size patio area. The hotel is spotlessly clean, there was a good variety of food at breakfast, good bar area, ample sunbeds on beach and staff that couldn't be more polite and helpful. It's in a good location, with the Old Town within walking distance (20min). We really enjoyed our stay and would come back."

Mansio Boutique Hotel
9.0 (36 reviews)

Mansio Boutique Hotel ★★★

📍 Papamichelaki 23, Rethymno

"We recently stayed here during our trip to Crete and it was a delightful experience. The hotel is new and beautifully designed, and exceptionally clean, which made our stay all the more comfortable. The modern aesthetic and attention to detail really stood out. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always available to help with a smile. Their genuine hospitality made us feel right at home and ensured that everything went smoothly throughout our stay. The location is perfect, you are right in Old Town, close to the water, shops, and all of the restaurants. Everything is a quick walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rethymno area."

Kyma Suites Beach Hotel Hotels in Rethymno

Kyma Suites Beach Hotel

"Spent 10 nights here. Location is great as right on the seafront prom. Shops and restaurants all around. 10 mins walk to the long golden beach and free sun beds. Close to marina and old town. Housekeeping daily. Breakfast nice especially the delicious orange juice. Room was clean, a good size with lots of storage and a large bathroom. There was a very large step into the shower - stepping over the side of a jacuzzi bath. Not ideal for all and future guests should be made aware as this could be dangerous. We paid extra for a sea view room but were disappointed. Our room was very noisy on the first floor over the main road and taxi rank. We saw trees, traffic, tops of boats and masts - just a bit of the sea. Sure this would improve from a higher floor. Staff we met were professional and polite but a more friendlier, personal approach would have been nice especially as we were there 10 days."

Atermono Boutique Resort & Spa Hotels in Rethymno

Atermono Boutique Resort & Spa

"This fantastic hotel has a perfect location on a lovely sandy family beach which the children loved playing on. The bedrooms are comfortable modern and spotlessly clean - as is the entire hotel. Amazing friendly kind staff who went above and beyond to welcome us when we arrived at the last minute late one night and worked hard to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable throughout. Our daughter celebrated her birthday whilst staying and they even arranged a special birthday cake for her as a surprise and let her choose a movie for their outdoor movie screening that night. Great spa and lovely breakfast buffet too."

Elina Hotel Apartments Hotels in Rethymno

Elina Hotel Apartments

"Found this accommodation to be exactly as advertised, short walk to the beach, shops, supermarkets and the old town. It had everything I needed, the staff were wonderful special thanks to Alex and Genny on reception so helpful also my cleaner, room cleaned every day, bedding and towels changed every couple of days. They all went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, comfortable and safe. The only downside was the traffic noise due to the location on a busy junction but I adapted after a couple of nights. I would recommend this hotel. Big thanks to all the staff"

Steris Elegant Beach Hotel & Apartments Hotels in Rethymno

Steris Elegant Beach Hotel & Apartments

"Hotel location is OK, very close to the beach, 20 minutes walk from the old town. But the hotel facilities are too old and too general. The advantage is that you can cook by yourself. After playing in Greece for so many days, I really want to make a hot noodles by myself, so I went to the nearby supermarket to buy ingredients and make it myself."

Macaris Suites & Spa Hotels in Rethymno

Macaris Suites & Spa

"The environment was nice. I stayed in a loft suite with a view of the sea from the balcony. It's next to Resimonon, on a hillside, and parking is easy. Crete is actually quite large, so tourists don't significantly impact the lives of the locals. You can drive to various beaches. For just a few euros per person, you can get a parasol and a lounge chair. Some are even free. On my last day, I randomly picked one and just relaxed on the beach, enjoying the sea breeze and the view – very comfortable. The Blue Lagoon is beautiful, but it really tests your driving skills, car condition, and physical fitness! The meat on Crete is the best, and they have a unique traditional grilling method – grilling it above the oven, surrounding it – so fragrant!"

"Not room N 1 would say that your accommodation and in the restaurant of the swimming pool  nothing that works the safe coffee machine television. Fortunately we only stayed one night we forgot our things and we were not contacted it is us who claimed for transfer from another, our hotel. We paid the post office I find normal, but it was not necessary if they did their work for us as soon as we left in any case, too bad for this hotel and your service, a little chaotic, ??"

Melrose Rethymno by Mage Hotels

"We visited this resort at the end of May.The hotel was pleasent, friendly and within easy reach of amenities as well as in the Island. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and resourceful. They were always ready to help, smiling, and addressing any issues. The rooms were cleaned every day. Resort had an outdoor pool with a bar as well as an indoor pool (smaller version). The best part of our experience was the breakfast bar, very friendly staff. The choices were good with cooked breakfast, cold meter, salads, fresh bread, local greek salad and fruits, fresh juices. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Also the reception was manned 24 hours with very friendly staff. A clean hotel and good value. We will visit the hotel again sometime in the future. "

Atrium Ambiance Hotel ★★★★
"Location: This was perfect for us - we didn’t want to be too close to town but also not too far. It’s about 20 minutes walk along the seafront, which is just 2 minutes away. Hotel: The hotel is modern and clean. Some of the corridors are open to the air and it can mean that the noise travels. Room Location: Number 401. Our room was supposed to be a “Twin Deluxe Room (Poolview)” - it wasn’t in a twin setup but that wasn’t a problem. Unfortunately we only got a corner view of the pool. I deliberately booked this type of room as others had mentioned it was quieter than the street view. On some hotel web sites it is described as “courtyard facing” (rather than road) with a pool view. What we actually had was a pool bar view and road. This meant that it was very noisy on the entertainment nights; and although the entertainment did not go on too late, the banging Ibiza music did. We really couldn’t be bothered packing up again and the desk told us there were only 2 nights with entertainment so we made do with ear plugs. The room was cleaned daily and the sheets changed after 3 nights. Plenty of storage. The water temperature was very hit and miss. My husband would come out of the shower complaining it was cold and then when I got in it was fine! Strange but the hair dryer had a really short cord which made drying my hair very difficult lol! Generally I didn’t sleep very well, but that wasn’t the fault of the hotel - other than what appeared to be an alarm test at 4am one morning when we all traipsed down to the pool. Nobody seemed to be in charge of the evacuation, which I found very odd. We all just milled around and then went back in when the alarm stopped. Food: Was always plentiful if a little boring. I have to say that I did experience a bad tummy on our departure morning which I can directly relate to part of my meal the previous night. It was annoying that there are no drinks included with the evening meal - even water, tea or coffee! Staff: All the staff were brilliant, especially Nikos who helped us understand a bit more about Greek beers. Overall my opinion is that the hotel isn’t bad (if you get the right room) but it’s not spectacular either. My adjective would be “unremarkable”"

Petradi Beach Lounge Hotel ★★★★
"The Hotel is located at a 25 min walking distance from the old town. There is no on site parking. The nearest free parking is 10 to 12 mins by walk. The family room is not appropriately designed. The main bed is in a loft with no ventilation or air conditioner. The toilet is very small. The breakfast at the restaurant is very sparse. Expected much better. This is not a value for money hotel."

Mansio Boutique Hotel ★★★
"We enjoyed our four night stay at Mansio in Rethymno. Located within the old town it was quiet and secluded. The bed and shower rooms were of a decent size and very clean. All the staff were friendly, helpful and most spoke excellent English. So, overall nothing to complain about. Except, to us, another guest from the UK did; he thought that the breakfast was poor. Unfortunately we have to concur. We have found, through many years of travelling, that you can judge the quality of an establishment by the orange juice served at breakfast. In the Mediterranean, where hundreds of thousands of tons of the things are grown annually, there is no excuse for not serving freshly squeezed juice. The Mansio’s offering was an undrinkable orange coloured chemical. If the Management can rectify this, and the meagre cold meat and cheese boards, then the Mansio would be a very good little hotel indeed."
