New Town, 0.9 km from Blue Beach

"Decent hotel for the money. Pictures are deceiving. Pool has limited chairs. Did not eat at the hotel at all because there was always a faint smell of vomit. Room was old and needs updating. The housekeeper opened the door to the deck daily which made the room extremely hot upon entering and you are unable to leave on the air conditioning when you leave the room. The smallest shower I’ve ever seen with no wash rags available."

"Had a wonderful stay here. The property is charming with a lot of character and a perfect central location. The “superior” room was spacious and bright and the staff were incredibly friendly. The cleaning staff especially were so kind and sweet. The shower did switch temperatures from hot to warm back and forth which was odd but that was the only thing we noticed. Overall fantastic and highly recommend!!"

Top Blue Beach Hotel Reviews

Aquila Porto Rethymno

10/10 Excellent

"Great convenient location. Breakfast buffet top notch."

Hotel Ideon

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel for the price. Good location near a lot of restaurants, shops and the harbour. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Small pool to enjoy with staff ensuring that people don’t leave towels first thing then disappear for hours. 👍 Would definitely recommend and stay again."

Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

Kriti Beach

8/10 Good

"A five star would have been given if not for our encounter with a very rude, incorrigible, narcissistic, receptionist. He should not be in the position to deal with guest. The rest of the staff were wonderful, helpful and easy to deal with. First impressions are so important. We did not appreciate being talked down to."

Rimondi Boutique Hotels-Small Luxury Hotels of the World

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing breakfast"

Steris Elegant Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location, location, location! Wonderful stay at Steris with beach access right across the street and walking distance to all the restaurants and shops. Would stay again!"

Achillion Palace Hotel Rethymno City Center

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely traditional hotel with a great location near the beach. The roof top pool was amazing with a nice little bar area for drinks and snacks. All the staff were so polite and friendly."

Eltina Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel easy to find, next to large supermarket on a main road, a mile from the cross island route. Some parking, 3 allocated spaces and then on street parking nearby Has a lift but some stairs involved for most rooms. Room was a 2 room apartment with a large lounge/kitchen area, with a large Smart TV, oven, hob and fridge. Balcony off each room, large shower room, and plenty of storage space. Complimentary breakfast was good. Pool area limited, not enough sunbeds and begins to lose sun from about 3pm. Staff were pleasant and helpful. 100yds from the massive beach and its safe promenade full of bars and restaurants leading to town, about a mile away. The main road option I would avoid on foot, parked cars and busy junctions."

Atlantis Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service from the staff at the hotel at breakfast and at dinners. Clean rooms with modern fit out. Overall well located property with easy access to old town and the beach ofcourse."
