We loved being right on the beach, and the area wasn’t busy which was lovely. At night, the noise levels were very high as the road is right there and it sounded like our windows were open when they would drive past. However, the staff were friendly and helped us call a taxi in the morning to catch our ferry.
Good location outside of town. Parking in gravel lot down the street not bad. Short walk and a bit dangerous for unloading luggage in front of hotel in traffic. Owner very nice and very helpful with suggestions of what to do. Other staff helpful in suggesting restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Beach is rocky, but water refreshing. Bed linens could use updating and futon in our room needed to be replaced, but overall a descent place to stay for the price.
JE SUIS BLESSé suite accident de la route .je ne peux pas prendre l avion .j ai annulé ma reservation . vous remboursé une partie ou pas ? 2EME FOIS QUE JE VOUS ECRIS.
Piccola struttura ma ci si sente coccolati, tutti i confort per una vacanza al mare a due passi dalla citta.
Eva, padrona di casa, presente con discrezione ti consiglia per arricchire la tua vacanza
Hôtel propre, piscine, petit déjeuner face a la mer. Situé le long de la route principale, beaucoup de circulation, parking à 300m

Kaikki muuten toimivaa, mutta viereisen tien liikenteen melu häiritsevää. Upea merinäköala ja iso parveke olivat plussaa. Hyvä aamiainen ja mukava emäntä.
Petite structure pleine de charme où le client se sent comme a la maison. Compétent et disponible le personnel (Eva et Johanna) se met en 4 pour repondre à toutes vos demandes avec sourires et bienveillance. On se sent plus comme un hote que comme client. Félicitations aux personnes de l entretien et plus particulièrement à la cuisiniere qui tous les matins nous regale de ses pâtisseries maison. Situé à 2 km de Rethymnon et pres de tres bons restaurants, les pieds dans l eau c est un super endroit pour des vaca'ces detentes. On recommande .
Hotelli merenrannalla ja kaikista huoneista on upea merinäköala. Pieni perheomisteinen hotelli jossa 10 huonetta. Eva omistaja oli todella ystävällinen ja avulias❤️. Huomioitavaa vaikka hotelli on merenrannalla se sijaitsee todella vilkkaan tienvarrella joka johtaa keskustaan. Kiva matka vanhaan kaupunkiin eli käveltävissä. Auton sai parkkiin n.200n hotellista olevalle yleiselle parkkipaikalle. Aamiainen oli Ok. Hinta/laatusuhde Ok. Voisimme mennä uudestaan. Jos et etsi luksusta, suosittelen.
Petit hotel situé sur une plage de galets, la plage de sable et les boutiques sont de l'autre cote de la ville.
Personnel sympatique, chambre correcte bien qu'au même tarif on puisse trouver un peu plus grand.
Gros point noir la salle de bain tellement petite qu'un lave main fait office de lavabo, qu'il est difficile de se pencher dans la douche tellement elle est etroite, le gel gel est a l'exterieur au dessus des WC puisque la douche est trop petite pour qu'il y soit a l'interieur. Après etre douche en faisant attention toute la salle de bain est inondé puisqu'il n'y a pas de porte /rideau de douche (trop exiguë). La terrasse est aussi minuscule l'etendoir est au dessus du moteur de clim donc juste pour mettre maillots, chaussettes sinon la serviette frotte sur le moteur, un petite table et 2 chaises ou il faut ne plus bouger une fois installé.
Le parking a 300 mette est en fait un terrain vague.
Wir hatten 10 sehr schöne Tage bei Hector und seinem Team.
Die Terrasse zum Frühstücken direkt am Meer ist einfach fantastisch.
Jeden Morgen gab es frische Früchte, Eierspeisen und Gebäck.
Eva hat für bei Fragen jederzeit geholfen und Tips für Ausflüge gegeben.
Rethymno kann man gut zu Fuß erreichen.
Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt.
Vi havde nogle skønne dage, et lille fint familie hotel hvor flere generationer kræser om dig.
Dejlig morgenmad, med lidt nyt hver dag, i små fine portionsanretninger -meget covid-19 venligt.
Basis værelser, ok plads til 2, lidt trængt til 3 personer.
Stenet strand, husk badesko
Very comfortable family hotel. Very clean and great breakfast. Only thing that could be improved, the rooms could do with a few wall hooks to hang up clothes you wear again.
Es gibt keine Parkplätze bei der Unterkunft, bitte streichen in der Hotelbeschreibung!
Ansonsten ein schönes, kleines Hotel, etwas in die Jahre gekommen, winzigstes Bad, alles sauber und gutes griechisches Frühstück.
Vi hade det väldigt bra på Kreta. Hotellet Filoxenia Beach var fantastiskt. Ett litet hotell med fantastisk personal. Hotellet är beläget alldeles vid stranden så man äter sin frukost mer eller mindre på stranden. Rekommenderar detta lilla hotell varmt. Nära till centrum i Rethymno och hotellet är beläget på den västra sidan av staden vilket gör att det är lite lugnare. Vill man ej gå till Centrum tar man bussen.

Only a 15 minute walk to the heart of Old Town, this delightful hotel is situated right on a marvelous long sandy beach, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. The patroness, Eva, and her staff are courteous and enthusiastic to please. Delicious breakfast and appetizers are served daily.

Wir haben 2 Wochen im filoxenia Beach Hotel verbracht. Besonders gut hat uns der sehr hilfsbereite Service gefallen. Die Lage ist bezaubernd. Direkt am Strand und eine tolle Aussicht auf die Altstadt.
Es gab immer genug Sonnenliegen und Schirme, auch Badetücher wurden täglich frisch gestellt.
Das Hotel hat ca. 10 Zimmer dennoch gab es ein abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Sollten wir noch einmal in der Gegend Urlaub machen würden wir dort wieder einchecken.
Eva is a very welcoming host in her hotel. Location is just what we wanted. Right by the sea with the sound of waves on the shore. Excellent breakfasts with special items each day.
Schönes kleines Hotel direkt am Strand. Die Zimmer waren sauber und die Gastgeber lieb und hilfsbereit. Die Straße am Hotel hört man zwar im Zimmer, allerdings ist sie nur tagsüber stark befahren und stört daher nicht beim Schlafen. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet mit täglich wechselnden Speisen, die man auf der schönen Terrasse direkt am Strand essen kann.
Hôtel surévalué par rapport aux prestation
La chambre propre mais lits séparés à l'étage avec un escalier sans main courante. Lors de notre arrivée les draps étaient pliés sur lit, à nous de le faire .... Petit déjeuner déplorable pour les français, pas de viennoiseries, jus d'orange bas de gamme.
Parking à peine accessible ne contenant que 2 véhicules ! Aucun stationnement à l'extérieur.
Sinon le personnel est très aimable.
C’est la deuxième fois que je viens dans cette hôtel, et je suis toujours aussi fan ! Accueil parfait, petit déjeuner délicieux et la plage privée est un vrai plus.
