4 star hotels in Rethymno

We had a wonderful stay at Minos Hotel in Crete! From the moment we arrived, we was warmly welcomed by the friendly and professional staff. The hospitality throughout my stay was exceptional – everyone went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home. The service was truly outstanding, with attention to every detail. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, the food was delicious, and...

Overall, we had a lovely week at this hotel. The rooms were nicely decorated, reasonably modern, and kept clean and tidy. Breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice, drinks were reasonably priced, and both pools were enjoyable. The main negative was the broken door to our hotel room which took 5 days to be fixed properly despite repeated complaints. It left our room insecure - and while there was...

Very nice hotel, friendly staff and helpful and enjoy our stay so relaxed and good food and drink and everything you need for your holiday

We were totally amazed by this hotel! Irini, Judy, Vicky and the rest are just so helpful and answered all of our questions. We have visited this hotel seven times and it bacame even more better regarding the facilities. The location is very convenient! We recommend!!!! We are coming back soon! Thank you Minos Hotel for making our vacation special !

Lovely hotel, let down by 2 silly things. Firstly, nobody was allowed to use the pool until 10.30am. Unclear why as breakfast was at 7.30 so most people were out by 9.30am. The over zealous entertainment lady made a small child cry for using the pool at 10.15. All seemed a bit dramatic, not bothering anyone and cleaning was done early morning and then water tested throughout the day when people were...

Aboustley loved the hotel and especially the staff, I have a artistic 12 year old son and all the staff was very kind and very understanding of Ethan, This really made myself and my partner relax. A big thank you to Timothy and Erica for bring so kind to my son. It is a lovely hotel very clean and tidy and we would 100% recommend this hotel. Very close to the beach and restaurants and supermarket...

Friendly service. The manager speaks German for those who don't speak English. The hotel is a bit dated, but it's apparently being renovated over the winter. The location was perfect for us, about 1,000 m from the old town, and everything else you could need is right around the corner. Just across the street is the sandy beach. Sunbeds and parasols are available for a fee (€10). This is our second...

We had such a great team at this hotel. Room was so spacious (room 52) and nice, everybody who works here is kind and ready to respond on any kind of request. Very clean and the food is amaIng. We will be glad to come back again! Thank you hotel Swell boutique!

The entire staff of this hotel needs to be commended. Friendly, helpful, courteous and most of all went out of their way to assure we had everything we needed. The breakfast buffet was amazing. The location was perfect right across the street from the beach. We had a parking space directly in front of the hotel. I cannot say enough good things about it.

Located right on the beach. 15 minutes from the old town. Clean rooms. Quite large. Comfortable bed. Small swimming pool. Good experience in total.

I visited Rethymnon and chose the hotel because of full seeview and good location (next to beach and near old town restaurants and shopping options). We found out several other reasons to choose it during our visit. Our room (with full seeview) was really comfortable with large, nicely tiled bathroom, roomy storage spaces and shadowy balcony. Even if it was on the second floor/ first above ground...

Swell Boutique Hotel is the perfect place for those who like comfortable, clean and quiet rooms with a stunning sea view; breakfast rich and diverse; the beach just a few steps away... But the main reason why you should visit this hotel is the staff. They will welcome and pamper you with the effortless smile.

The spa services was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and professional. We had a pleasure to meet Evdokia (Spa Manager), Poppi and Konstantinos (Therapists) who provided an exceptional service. It is worth to visit, I highly recommend it.

We had a nice stay at this hotel. Several rooms have a convenient little kitchen. Unfortunately the pool closes at 6. Bare in mind that if you had a nice day in the city or at an excursion, you will not be able to use the pool. Personally I would have loved to have a refreshing dive at the end of the day. The breakfast is nice, and the personal very polite. I would recommend to stay away from the...

The stay in the hotel was amazing and I really enjoyed getting a massage in the hotel spa. Evdokia is very friendly and helpen us with the booking. Dina did the massage and made me feel relaxed. Asked me multiple times if everything was fine. I would really recomend going to the spa. Keep up the good work!

Excellent trip! We were 7 days in paradise! The SPA was unbelievable, with Evdokia- the friendly , beautiful face at the reception, Dina and Constantinos at the massages...We had very clean and tidy rooms, the mediterranean views are from another world and all the personnell was exceptionaly profesional and friendly! We will surely return!

Very nice spa and Nice hotell. We have enjoyd or stay. Nice personal both in The reception and The Spa. We had the duo appointmen in The Spa with Evdokia, Ntina and Xrisa. It was vert nice. Good service and very welcoming proppe.

Evdokia was lovely and friendly and spoke about the different types of treatments which were on offer - which were lots!! My therapist , Konstantinos was professional and made me feel very relaxed. Really enjoyed my calm sea massage experience.

The hotel was great. Special mention goes to the bartender, Michael; he makes fantastic drinks. All the other staff members also do their best to ensure that guests have an enjoyable holiday. Thank you all!

we've been to the hotel for six days in August. after I've made the order, i've seen some bad reviews regarding the rooms condition. So we came a bit concerned. But i can say just the opposite, the room we got was in a good condition. (sea view apartment) It wasn't build yesterday, but everything was fine, and I absolutely don't think it's out dated. The room was clean, and we had everything we needed...

Mixed bag, room not great, issues with cleanliness, bathroom shower, & towels. Sunbeds a disaster. Location brilliant, hotel approx 40 mins from old town. Beach right in front of hotel. Service from staff excellent Sofia, Theo. & especially front of house. All the staff were lovely, but extra thanks would go to Mickail & Kalliopi. She was attentive, supportive, presentable, approachable. Nothing was...

Disappointing, no value for money whatsoever. The room was poorly equipped and not functional at all. We had a maisonette and on the ground floor there was no mirror in the room, only in the small bathroom, and no TV. The shower cabin was 70x70 cm, with very low water pressure. We had half-board but only ate there one evening — the food quality was unacceptable. The pools were small and usually crowded...

The place is very beautiful, clean, with a staff that provides excellent service. The breakfast/lunch/dinner area is very elegant and clean. The breakfast is very well balanced and quite comprehensive. These are the positive aspects. Unfortunately, there are also a few negative points: I'll start with the room we stayed in and the neighboring ones — the sound insulation is very poor; you can't get...

We stayed at Grecotel Plaza Beach House for my birthday and had a fantastic time. Check-in began with a complimentary room upgrade—such a thoughtful start—and on the big day the team surprised me with a free “Happy Birthday” cake, which really made the trip feel special. The hotel itself is spotless, the staff are genuinely friendly, and the private beachfront (complete with comfy sunbeds) makes it...

Excellent hotel. We had a the best sea view from our room. Reception is kind and very helpful. Highly recommended:)

Almost a week in paradise! We stayed at North Coast Seaside Luxury Suites in June 2024, and it became our HQ and recharging station for trips around the island. We fell in love with the apartment from the online photos (especially the kitchen – crucial for us!), and the balcony with a sea view was everything we dreamed of. Every morning, we lived the ‘breakfast with orange juice on the balcony’ clich...

A beautiful location by the sea, 30 minutes' walk from the old town of Rethymno. We booked 2 rooms for 4 people, but their system showed only 2 people. It was a Booking error, and they weren't very cooperative, charging us for breakfast for the 'extra' guests. We had to resolve it with Booking. Our room near the street was noisy. The Cretan breakfast omelette was watery, and the bread soaked it up...

We stayed at this hotel for two nights while visiting Rethymnon town. It's located right in front of Koumbes Beach, alongside other holiday homes. The suite was very new and well-maintained. We had a room on a higher floor facing the main road, which could be a bit noisy with the balcony door open. The property has a lift, making it easy to move our luggage. There's an open carpark with a small entrance...

The most wonderful people run this place! My stay at North Coast was supposed to be my 3rd visit to Crete just this summer. To give you some context - previously I stayed at Ikones and then Anemos. I got fed up with the rat race at big resorts and wanted to try something different. Once, while driving towards Galera (my favorite restaurant in town), we passed by the beautiful sparkling new building...

Nice place to stay; seaview is breathtaking, appartment looks nice(a coffee machine would really make it top)

Beautyfull house with history! Lovely details! Wonderful breakfast place on the seaside! The street outside is very busy and loud, but not in the hotel! The staff is very kind and friendly!

This is a beautiful hotel with excellent, comfy beds, great staff and it's on the sea! The beach nearby is pebbly and it's a 25 minute walk to the old town - not a huge amount to do in the immediate area, but the hotel itself more than makes up for that!

Wonderful oceanfront hotel, with a decent restaurant and fantastic breakfast. Spacious and very comfortable rooms with high ceilings and loft bedrooms. We had to leave early in the morning to catch a flight, so the staff packed us a nice breakfast the night before and left it in the mini fridge in our room for us. If you have a rental car, there is no parking at the hotel but there is a free lot a...

Sea front suite in Rethymno I booked a Jr. suite and it is very nicely appointed. The air conditioning works perfectly. The room is maintained nicely and I had a loft bedroom facing the sea with a small balcony overlooking the sea. The decor was very nice with a living area with sofa, cocktail table. The in room safe was not bolted very odd and concerning they need to correct that. I had two bathrooms...

we had a wonderful stay in your hotel. All the elements offered by your establishment came together to make our wonderful stay : Welcoming, smiling and available staff. cleanliness of the rooms, very good cuisine. Hotel with magnificent decoration and offering a beautiful view of the sea. We will definitely return to this hotel. Thank you so much Mr Consagra

View to die for!!! Excellent place, amazing boutique hotel with incredible view, sea had to many waves, so we used the little pool, which was great and had an awesome time. Restaurant was top tier, food was great, service was great, seafood moussaka not so much, order anything else, you will thank me for it, will stay here again next year. Great couples place.

Fantastic hotel in the old town, near the western side of the peninsula so fantastic sunsets from our balcony. Owner/manager, Antonio, was helpful answering questions and referrals to good restaurants and trips.

We spent a wonderful week at this hotel. Service was immaculate, staff so friendly and helpful. The best place to visit Rethymno. On the edge of the old town, everything within walking distance. I have no doubts about my choice and I strongly recommend it to everyone. Σας ευχαριστώ, σας ευχαριστώ για τη θαυμάσια φιλοξενία 😁

Very nice hotel! We enjoyed the location, the nice pool and the sun beds.

This place is perfect in many ways. Voula is a very nice host and makes you feel at home. The rooms are very complete and have comfortabel beds. Very good breakfast! The location is the best in the old city, close to everything. Parking is included on a private parkinglot. Great stay! Crete is wunderfull.

Very helpful welcome. Handy location. Own car park which is vital for a hotel close to the centre.

What a wonderful small hotel. Hospitality fantastic. Service fantastic. Staff fantastic. Situated just at the edge of the old town this beautiful Venetian residence is perfectly located. The staff are excellent and always available and very helpful. We will return. This hotel is a credit to the owners 10/10 👍

I did not stay at this hotel, just been to their beach and they got the most friendly and serviceminded staff at the beach. If possible, I would give 10 stars for their effort to make every guest feel good at the beach. Special big Thank to Georgios.. We were met with a big smile every day, and they helped us with sunbeds, drinks and free water to make sure we did not dehydrate in the sun. I have...

It was our third stay in the hotel and we really enjoyed. A special thanks to the kind Sophia serving our cappuccino every evening. The massages in the hotel spa are also very good and the spa ladies are very nice. We enjoyed Noras daily Yoga sessions so much. She is one of the reasons we return every year. We saw here dancing and would love to see a Salsa Show in the evening entertainment of our...

Great Food! Super clean! Love the view and the pool and beach place! We Bad a Great week there!

We spent two weeks in Odyssia Beach Hotel in Late July and Early August. Most guests during that time were german-speaking with occassional french and dutch guests. As everything in life, the hotel has it´s strength and weaknesses. To the good sides belong an excellent gastronomy, as well as a friendly service (at least outside of the reception area). The weaknesses of the hotel are mostly tied to...

Stunning. Exciting hotel. Everything is dedicated to the guests. We never met such a gently and polite people which are oriented to the guests service. This is place with excellent beach, shop inside the property with a prices as in the city. Rooms are clean, big and a see view with the sunset is stunning. We traveled a lot around the globe but such a hospitality like in Odyssia Beach we never had...

I've stayed several times at the Odyssia Beach and I return because the staff are so welcoming and helpful, the location is on the beach with a superb beach bar and restaurant. Great for families too with a children's pool and you don't have to cross a road to access the beach. There's also a good bus service into Rethymnon and lots of bars, restaurants, and hotels in Missiria. It's a gem of a hotel...

We stayed here for five days and all the staff were so welcoming and eager to please, we felt right at home. There is a beach right across the road which was lovely. Our room was basic but clean, the showers were quite cold but with the hot weather this wasn't much of an issue! The pool was a bit green and murky, we did swim but maybe not as often as we would have liked as it could have been cleaner...

The place is very good, quiet, for familly with children - amazing place. The staff always smiling, polite and friendly. Rooms are clean. Food is very tasty. One thing - the could be more fruit variety. That's the only minus from us :) thank you for amazing holidays!

Very kindfull staff, everybody was so helpfull and the team at the reception gave us a very good feeling!

A few weeks ago my family and I stayed at solimar emerald. We chose it because of its proximity to the beautiful city of Rethymnon while the sea is directly opposite the hotel. We were impressed by the calm that prevails throughout the day. The rooms are very large and I consider it to be one of the cleanest hotels we have ever been to. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful while the food...

I stayed there for 7 days. It was a pleasant stay with minor problems, for example wifi was terrible - signal strength and reach was weak. Food was tasty and diverse for this standard. The best thing about the place were the people working there, mutual respect goes a long way :)

Great service. The hotel is located literally in the middle of nowhere so renting a car is a must. Rooms were cleaned everyday, food was great. A/C worked without a flaw.

The food and drink was good, especially the included breakfast. We loved the location between Chania and Heraklion for sightseeing. The town of Rethymno was charming with good food and shopping. Pool was lovely but unheated. Friends got massages at the spa and were pleased with the results.

The view was fantastic! The rooms spacious and the breakfast was plentiful. We also enjoyed the pool and spa. Very friendly staff.

Delightful experience! The staff are so friendly and helpful! From the front desk, to the breakfast staff, housekeeping and laundry service, all were exceptional! The hotel has a lovely breakfast everyday with a wide variety of both hot and cold options, many of which are locally sourced. The evening patio dining and bar overlooked the ocean and although the menu was not as expansive, there were...

Worth stay at. Fantastic place to stay. Some modern updates. Nice view. Cleaning and breakfast buffet staff were great! We had one miserable male night manager front desk person who seamed to be upset about us asking for more toilet paper and made me get it out of the lobby washroom. Not cool. But the breakfast was great so was the pool. I recommend this hotel.

The hotel was beautiful, staff were friendly and helpful, a very enjoyable stay. The breakfasts in particular were amazing, with a wide range of options and local food to try too, changing throughout the week so we really looked forward to what would be new each day.

All the facilities you need. Very spacious property. Great swimming pool, amazing breakfast included. Huge balcony areas.

The room was very clean and tidy when we arrived. All appliances seem to work as well as toilets,sinks and shower. The extra bathroom downstairs is nice to have ! It's been super quiet outside so far! I would recommend this place to stay.

We are 1/2 way through our stay and all has gone well. The staff is courteous and reacted quickly to resolve any issues brought up. Front desk person was pleasant and informative. Practicing your Greek would be an asset but most everywhere English is handled well,... after all, it's good for business and the locals know it. 😏 Parking would be the only ongoing discomfort as you are on your own to find...

Overall a nice (and large) resort nearby the cute town of Rethymno. Location is great, close to the beach and lots of shops/restaurants. The pools (multiple), restaurant, bar, and coffee bar were great. Service at these venues were top notch - the wait staff was great. The property in common areas is overall well maintained. The first room we were in was too small for 5 people, so we moved to a bigger...

wonderful hotel neat and clean apartments. the beds are comfortable and it's like you being in a small village. the staff are very friendly and helpful and work hard to please the guests. the location is good nice shops good restaurants when you cross the street you are almost on the beautiful beach we had a really great stay and we will definitely come back

Thank you so much for the wonderful service! The host/receptionist lady (hopefully manager because she's really good) was so wonderful, made our stay even better. Wish we could thank you again in person but if you're reading this, thank you. We hope to see you again!! We fell in love with Crete as a whole, the culture, the people and the food. Grand Leoniki Residence gave us the true Crete Experience...

This was a lovely old hotel but could have been a bit cleaner. Our room was also cold but we turned up the heating and got it sorted. The owner was very hospitable and allowed us to drink our own wine around the pool area. Breakfast provided a good variety of local foods. The restaurant also looked good but we didn’t eat there. The hotel was well situated, close to the harbour and shops and cafes...

A boutique hotel in a renovated Venetian building. It looks like we're living in history. Love the exposed beams on the roofs. The bed is very comfortable. The host is warm and welcoming. The place could be better insulated to sound, but with a historical building, I am sure there are limitations. The location is excellent. There are no elevators, so not ideal for people with mobility issues.

The hotel is lovely and quaint located in the Old Town and just round the corner from the Venetian Harbour. We arrived after midnight for check in and the staff member was very helpful, carrying our luggage up to the 2nd floor and letting us know where we could go to get food. Our room was very nice and clean with a nice balcony. It does need better lighting though, very dim in the bedroom and bathroom...

Nice, family owned, tranquil hotel located in the old town, walking distance to everywhere. Has a nice restaurant attached which serves a variety of taste dishes. Supermarket 5 min walk from hotel. No elevator and some of the stairs are steep - the higher you are the better the view but the steeper the staircase.

Our stay couldn't be better. The hotel is really charming and very well located. We've never been so warmly welcomed as by our lovely receptionist. The staff was helpful beyond any expectations. I'm really looking forward to coming back. Thank you! (Aleksandra - Sofoklis)

As a couple we have stayed at the Di Corina over a number of years. We keep returning. This old Venitian Hotel is ideally placed for the sites of Rethymnon, including the fortress and lively night life. It has a very good restaurant attached where we ate a number of times. The staff always welcome us back with enthusiasm and we have made real friends at the hotel. I would recommend booking a junior...

Beautiful small hotel, wonderful people running it, perfect location

A wonderful place, perfectly located in the heart of the old town of Rethymno. Charming facilities and very friendly staff.

Great hotel. Lovely people. Amazing breakfast but the suite we had did not have any ventilation in the bathroom and the windows open to the corridor where people walk through.

The venue, location, and the people are wonderful. Very impressed with the friendly and helpful nature of the staff and the owners. It is located right in the middle of the beautiful old town area with tons of shopping and food. The ambiance is wonderful and the room type and quality is very good. They have a beautiful courtyard with a small pool, where you can relax and enjoy. The breakfast and...

Lovely nice little boutique hotel with very friendly staff and the best chocolate brownies for breakfast! :) It's in the very centre of Rethymnon, so if you're on car expect some walking. The staff will help you, though, we chose the easiest way - the marina parking. Although in the centre, it was pretty quiet. There is also a lovely small swimming pool on site. Highly recommended!

The most amazing and peaceful hotel in the heart of the old town.Tastefully decorated and with the most helpful and friendly staff ever!Highly recommended!

Very comfortable. I recommend it highly. Location is perfect. Rooms are stylish and clean, staff very helpful. It is a great choice for a great time in Rethymno. All attractions are very near to reach.Our room had a city view. I am sure sea view rooms are great too.

Had already been here in 2019 and also 2024 didnt change my mind. The place is not to be missed for its large rooms with all comforts and its location, in the old town but facing the sea, which has no rivals if not in the newer (eastern) part of the town. Staff are all nice and caring for the customers.

great experience The room is very European Victorian style, duplex room There are TVs upstairs and downstairs The bath tub is so beautiful, the wet and dry separation is great, very comfortable The bed is so comfortable and clean The balcony faces the old street, dining here is super dreamy It's just that there are not enough utensils for cooking and tableware

Very good and clean hotel. The mini suite with an amazing view of the sea, hydromassage 2 floors above the bed and downstairs bathroom, kitchenette and living room. The staff is very kind and willing to serve us. The only negative is that it doesn't have breakfast.

Great place to stay! The decoration is awesome, the room was spacious and elegant. The stuff was very friendly.

We had an amazing vintage room(1couple)! Two floor apartment with balcony to Rethimno port. Its is located directly to the center of the main city and nearby you can find absolutely everything. Regarding the room it was amazing that it had hairdryer and many-many amenities. I will definitely reccommend it! Hope that they could provide us with more details about the area :)
