4 star hotels in Rethymno

Second time staying here, lovely helpful staff. Plenty to choose form at breakfast. We didn't have evening meal as ate out. Although couple of negatives was slow in setting up tables, and closing the pool early. Beach 5 mins walk, lots of surrounding bars on sea front, Walk or take a bus outside hotel to Old Town.

Easygoing hotel, with good access to amenities locally, short distance to beach, restaurants, good access for taxis and pickup locations for excursions. Room was clean, large and air conditioned. Standard buffet fare, with lots of different options for breakfast and dinner. Opportunities to practice Greek but for when that runs out the majority of staff are fluent English speakers.

Not quite a full 5 stars but worth a shout. Clean and competitively priced.Oil’s far better inside that the outer first impression from the main road Rooms are on the small side and bathrooms compact. But, all clean and the hotel boasts several pools and a good restaurant. One things is the Hotel has a good cross section of visitors, always a good sign. Not for the younger guest, teenagers would find...

Don't be put off by corridors, they are a little shabby but the rooms are fabulous, we had a suite thanks to a free upgrade. Fruit, wine and baguettes were left for us, welcome after a late arrival. Easy check in thanks to an app. Spotlessly clean, clean towels daily, bed changed half way through the week. Free WiFi throughout, free safe. The pool areas are clean and tidy a nice area to relax...

We have been in Minos Hotel on vacation. This is just an great hotel. When we arrived the manager poured us a drink while we checked in, immediately making us feel welcome. Even the first day we were surprised in a perfect way when they gave us upgrade from double room to suite apartment for the same price an when we open the door from room there was one more surprise - champagne, wine and fruit for...

Minos Aparthotels is such a great home 🏠 when you are away from home 🏠 the (new apartments) have such modern large showers and bathrooms, the spacious balconies are amazing to have evening cocktails and dinners. The bedroom is a proper size and the lounge / dining area with the kitchenette is perfect when on holiday. We booked two apartments for 2 adults and 2 kids (20&15) well I guess they are adults...

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 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...

I stayed at this hotel recently and unfortunately, my experience did not match the expectations set by the photos online. Positives: • The breakfast was decent and satisfying. • The room itself was functional, and everything was kept clean. • The front desk staff were exceptionally warm and helpful, definitely a highlight of the stay! Negatives: • The photos online make the hotel appear far more...

We had a really great week at this hotel! The staff were excellent, really helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent every morning with a good selection of local foods alongside staples. The pool and beach were both really great, it is next to a road that you have to cross to get to the beach but it was never busy enough to be problem. We both had fantastic massages in their wellness centre...

The stay at Plaza Beach was a fantastic experience. The staff were polite and the room was cleaned regularly. The staff were approachable and provided a professional service. We had paid for half board so we saw them twice a day at least. Reception staff were helpful when the transfer was not confirmed by my travel agency.

My favorite hotel forever. The location is absolutely breathtaking, directly across the sea. You can have a nice walk to Rethymno city along the beach from here.I really recommend the breakfast buffet, they also accommodate dietary restrictions. Staff is as friendly as usual in Greece, from housekeeping to waiters and receptionists. Very kid-friendly. I will definitely keep coming back. In my opinion...

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...

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)

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 👍

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.

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 hotel has a very nice and friendly staff and so is the manager, Christine, who is very kind and understanding. We have had a very nice stay so far and everything has been so smooth. The room is very big and has also a big balcony with a nice sea view. The breakfast is also very nice and tasty and so is the staff, which is also super helpful. The hotel has different kind of facilities, but because...

Beautiful view. Lovely little beach opposite the hotel, used by locals. 15 minute walk to old town for restaurants. Really nice pool area. Decor a little tired in one of the room but the terrace, the view and the equipment was perfect for us. We were on top floor, so did not hear the road too much. Would recommend.

Had a very pleasant stay with them early in September to sort out some business. We arrived early, and not only were we allowed to check in early, we also got a free upgrade to another suite. The suite hat a living room with open kitchen, and a sleeping room separated from it. Both rooms had access to a quite large terrace with seating and vice of the sea and Fortezza. The bathroom and toilet were...

We got an upgrade to a fabulous 2-bed suite with lovely sea view. Lovely pool, friendly staff and good food. Pity we only stayed one night here, will stay longer next time.

Amazing suites with private, sun lounge, Jacuzzi, bathtub, and sea view. Huge room with kitchen dinning area, leaving room and sofa bed. Bed room is spacious with big glass door and sea view. Hotel staff are friendly and professional. Location is very convenient. Highly recommended.

Vacationing family.2018.very cool!hotel 5 balls!near the beach with good sand, is the breakwater,even if the sea is stormy and there are very good curtise!monogamous next kofeshek,delicious food,very friendly people,are all lovely.Yes I want to be back!!!!

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...

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!

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...

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.

Όλα ήταν καταπληκτικά! Το προσωπικό χαμογελαστό και ευγενέστατο και μας βοήθησαν στην επιλογή του φαγητού. Η τοποθεσία καταπληκτική αφού βρίσκεται στο κέντρο της πόλης με θέα τον φάρο . Τα φαγητά ήταν ένα προς ένα υπέροχα! Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα

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

Great breakfast with fresh orange juice! Staff was nice and helpful, great location.

A bit hard to find, but right next to the old town. All rooms are up a spiraling staircase (no lift). Lovely antique decor & furniture.

Very nice ! Mr Nikos knows how to take Care of his guests. It is a hotel with heart. A bedroom with airconditionning, a shower, a complete breakfast with local and tasty products... I definitely recommend it

Wonderful little find, this hotel. Nicos and family were very welcoming. Rooms were nice and clean, great location, fantastic Debbie decor inside.

Charming small hotel on the edge of the "Old Town." Extremely friendly and kind staff. As a family of four we were well looked after. The breakfasts provide a good start to the day with fruit, pastries, local delicacies, bread, eggs, jam and honey and freshly squeezed orange juice and wonderful coffee.

Weird hotel... Awesome atmosphere but sometimes 'old' was a little to literally taken. The beds are supernoisy etcetera. Though it's a place i would recommend if you search a place to stay for a night or two
