"Amazing host and an amazing space to stay in. My partner and I resided here for 3 nights and had a great time. Iro was friendly and provided plenty of information and resources on the area to check out and eat at. Would highly recommend!"
"Beautiful location and ease of access. Unfortunately parking is hard if you organise a hire car.
Amenities are beautiful and the welcome gifts and morning breakfast were great. Just off the main markets and plenty of fine dining options literally steps from the hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"Iro is an excellent host. She’s very friendly, helpful and gave us a lot of information about the area. Our room was beautifully decorated with wonderful stonework. The kitchenette had everything you would need. The bed was comfortable and the towels were soft and high quality. There were several communal and garden areas to rest and relax in outside our room as well. Great location. This is a perfect place to stay. "
"We enjoyed this hotel immensely and highly recommend it! This hotel has a wonderful breakfast with a wide selection of food options to suit everyone's tastes and with a beautiful view of the beachfront. Free parking was across the hotel entrance with a huge area to park. We did daily day trips to explore Crete, and there were always parking spots available when we returned at the end of the day. We chose this hotel due to the beautiful views from the balconies, the cleanliness, and the parking. We easily would walk for a leisurely walk into Old Town in 15 minutes. Even taking a taxi was very cheap which we did on way back one evening. The rooms were modern, clean and towels changed every day. The front desk staff were so polite and catered to all of our needs. The owner Mr, Stelios also greeted us and took us to our rooms and explained how the air conditioner worked, where all the amenities were. We enjoyed seeing him everyday! Their pool is amazing, and the pool deck with a beautiful beachfront view had an amazing bar for drinks and food. The bar person is very nice and works hard getting drinks and food ready for your order. Loved the pool area with the sun loungers and perfect views! This hotel will not disappoint at all. We had our two sons and their girlfriends with us, so we had 3 rooms in total and everybody enjoyed Archipelogos hotel. We surely would stay here when we go back to Rethymnon. We had an awesome stay! Thank you from your fellow Canadians!"
"Amazing experience overall. Great check in, great room, great space for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Cold bottle of wine, fruit and water in the fridge and amazing breakfast. Staff also supper friendly. One of the best bookings I’ve made on hotels.com for my family (who tend to be picky) "
"The best stay in Crete that we have had so far and we have been coming to Rethymnon for several years. The staff, food, hotel and wonderful service made us feel so welcome.
Thanks again Hotel Ideon we hope to return soon "
"One of the favorite places we have ever stayed in! The place is beautifully restored and you feel like you are really staying in a historic place. We stayed in a room that had ample space and enjoyed staying in. There is a lovely balcony with a hot tub. There were two friendly cats that hung out with us on the balcony. The location was wonderful with being close to where we could park and still being in Old Town. "
