Best Hotels in Rethymno

Anna, the owner and stylist, is one of the sweetest and friendliest people you’ll ever meet. And what brings me back again isn’t just the sea view or the food. The feeling of being welcomed, remembered, and cared for

There is a quiet kindness in every interaction. I don't feel like a guest with a room number — I am treated like someone they genuinely care about

The staff is warm and generous, they find ways to make each day feel special. For example a quiet gesture, a moment of care, a surprise that arrived just when you need it

There are places that offer comfort, and then there are places that offer warmth. Grecotel Creta Palace is definitely the second kind

I won’t go into listing all the services and amenities — there’s already plenty written about that, and yes, they’re all great. For me, this place is not about what they have. It’s about how they make you feel

Maria, Antigoni, Angelos, Stefania, Eleftheria, Nikos, Nikoleta are always smiling, attentive, and full of light. The beach bar and the restaurant felt like a little haven, thanks to them

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

Excellent hotel with exceptional staff, especially at the reception ! Thank you Irini and Vicky for making my stay unforgettable! I totally recommend this hotel, due to the staff and also the Spa facilities

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

It was an apartment room free of charge. The two bottles of water in the fridge was free and they restock every day. The room was equipped with cloth ironer, hair dryer but I was missing the shoe spoon

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

The staff was kind and helpful, they speak English well. The hotel is about 200 meters from the sea so you can walk there with slippers on, no shoe needed. The 7 night we spent there was felt like a few hours

Parking was a bit tricky, but we would still stay there again a thousand times over

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

I can only wonder where they had found so friendly and helpful receptionist. We got help with the room and baggases, good restaurant recommendations, later check-out and always greetings and couple of nice words

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

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

Even if it was on the second floor/ first above ground floor traffic noise didn’t disturbed at all. Breakfasts were versatile and good and highlighted with fresh orange juice every morning

Everything in the hotel is very clean and well maintained and the room quality was 1st rate. One minor issue in the maisonette is the very small wardrobe in the upstairs bedroom a small set of drawers would help

The only drawback is that the gym is tiny and can only accommodate three people at a time, so if you are a regular user, you'll need to book slots ahead of time

Lovely property with a private beach and within walking distance to many restaurants and cafes in Reythmno town. Everything is superbly clean and comfortable

Staff are very helpful and friendly - they did a great job organising a day trip for us. There are three pools (two outdoor and an indoor heated one)

Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel!

It was a very luxery and nice complex. The Hotel have luxe rooms, all the things works, luxe ligthing system etc. Also to have a balcony is nice. Every day the rooms are cleaned and the water and coffee cups are filled

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

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

Nice location, nice rooms, clean place, good service, good food and friendly stuff. I enjoyed also relaxing Spa, thanks Evdokia and Kalliopi.

The breakfast is nice, and the personal very polite. I would recommend to stay away from the coffee machines and order a nice cup of good coffee from the nicde lady at the bar in the central hall

Nice personal both in The reception and The Spa. We had the duo appointmen in The Spa with Evdokia, Ntina and Xrisa. Good service and very welcoming proppe

We had a Family Massage it was very relaxing recommended by Edvokia who is the Spa Manager. She was very helpful and friendly. The Therapist Konstantina is very professionell and I enjoyed my Massage and my facial a lot

A fantastic location with an expansive patio/pool complex, good restaurant/bar, and a friendly, knowledgeable staff that speak English.

We had a fantastic family Reunion here. The staff are super accommodating. The spa was a great treat, the pool fun to hang out and the food was delicious and varied.

It was about a 5-minute taxi ride from the bus station, we could use the beach in front, and our room was spacious and open, so we were able to relax

Really nice hotel with friendly staff. Plenty of options to eat out nearby and within walking distance to the town centre.

There was a pool inside the hotel, so we went for a swim to relax instead of getting a massage

2) the gym is very very small and equipement is incorrectly set up and out of order 3) the air conditioning was very finicky - had to press random setting combinations to get it working!

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

We stayed at Grecotel Plaza Beach House for my birthday and had a fantastic time

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 any rest at night, as it feels like the windows are always open (the rooms face back a road with constant traffic)

Finally, I’d like to mention that the adult pools close at 7:00 PM — exactly when it would be ideal to take a swim and enjoy the moment. This is incomprehensible to me

And one last thing: I didn't understand why there are no mosquito nets on the windows, especially considering the high number of mosquitoes

Then there's the metalic spiral staircase, which feels like you're climbing into an attic — very uncomfortable and undesirable

Everything is spotless, and having two pools is a big plus (though it’s a pity that loungers are often “reserved” with towels and left unused). The food is excellent with a wide selection for both breakfast and dinner

A good 40 minute walk into the centre of Rethymnon. But plenty of bars and restaurants near by. The only fault we had was the mosquitos. There's is loads of them and I ended up with 232 bites

The hotel is very nice in front of the sea and also has a nice pool, the food is very good and I have never met such good staff before.

I have so much to say and everything is positive so I honestly don’t know What to say but overall I recommend this hotel to everyone and I will DEFINITELY come back to this hotel ASAP!!! Also we had a cute cat visitor Who came every now and then and it was so cute!! Really hope someone knows the name of the guy Who took us to our room and so much appreciation towards him since he was one of the nicest...

The only downside was the number of mosquitoes – not the hotel’s fault, but keep doors and windows closed and ask reception for a mosquito device. Overall, a wonderful stay and highly recommended!

The best hotel! Everyone Were so Nice because not everyone Are like this???! When we got there super Late at night 18

I stayed in this hotel for a week mid-August and it was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had! Obviously, the rooms have everything you need and are very clean and modern

But I strongly suggest booking a room with a pool view, where you can enjoy an evening or two on the balcony. We had different menus every day and the choice was just perfect, not too much and not too little

If you need anything special there is a small shop on the territory of the hotel or you can go into the town 10 mins, where there are plenty of restaurants and shops, including Lidl

People are usually staying near pool, so almost all sunbeds are taken (and yes, some guests are still having the habit of leaving a towel on a sunbed but showing up 3 hours later)

On the bright sight, there is plenty of room on the beach and the view is 10 times better. The sea entry is rocky, so it’s better to have swimming shoes with you

We also went to Rethymno for a day, which is 10 mins drive. The receptionist called us a taxi which cost us 10 euro

Very good hotel... I would repeat... Very good staff.. All perfect...

The best host ever! Greek hospitality at its finest!

We are half board and seriously would not do this again as we've found it a waste of money. The place is clean and staff friendly and the facilities are good. But you are better to go bed and breakfast

Great hotel especially for families. Rooms are very practical, the 3 pools are great, people are very nice. Not a lot of animations but the beach is very close with loads of restaurants bars...

Booked through Tui and it is spacious, very clean and the staff couldn't be more helpful. Very well appointed and well thought out Covid safety measures.

Evening meal time there seems to be cats everywhere and for me this a huge No No , not only unhygienic it's not appropiate while people are eating , for me personally being allergic to cats I really don't want to eat here

Breakfast is good and varied. More, if you have to do a small trip in Crete they anticipate breakfast (usually is 8:00-10:00). We had just a few small issue in the apartment but it has been fixed in no time

Super clean. Bit old but amazing staff and great pool compensate for that. Very good value for money.

It's Friday night everyone in Axos Hotel at the Axos Bar and you never be alone there ! If you are the guest of the hotel don't worry about the louder of the noises because the wall of the building are strong and big

We stayed in this hotel for 10 days. The hotel very friendly to families with children. Rooms very clean, cleaned daily every day. Change of towels with new ones every day. Very friendly, polite and helpful staff

Close to the beach, great pool. Lovely bar and fantastic service. Nice breakfast every morning. Literal 2 minute walk to the beach great restaurants literally next door/across the road Highly recommended.

Thank you Axos team! We had a fantastic 5 days right at the start of the summer season. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with open arms

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

Very good hotel. Nice and very modern premises. Wonderful view next to Rethymno. Has verycgood Restaurants nearby. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Every morning, we lived the ‘breakfast with orange juice on the balcony’ cliché, and we loved it! The staff was super friendly and helpful, the place well-kept, and since it’s a smaller building, it felt cozy and never crowded

The beach access was perfect, with our own sunbeds that were always well-maintained. A real hidden gem! Great location with easy access to beautiful Rethymno, plus parking by the lifeguard tower made everything easy

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

Their food is delicious and they have a good selection, they provided an amazing service at every step

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!

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

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

The location is a bit far from Old town Rethymno a 30 minute walk but the local bus, walk or taxi will get you there fast. The upside is you are on the beach and have loungers and a semi private beach at your disposal

Well what a hotel. The staff were excellent and very helpful. Organised most things for us. Rooms lovely and clean.Fantastic location.Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

very nice hotel, in front of a very beautiful beach! the room was clean , the price was good , the restaurant very good, the pool was clean everyhting perfect but the beach in front of the hotel was amazing! Long and sany with many things to do

1 minute to the main town but still peaceful tucked away down a quiet street. 30 seconds to a lovely sandy beach with one of the best sunsets I have seen. The hotel is simple, clean, nice home cooked food

Also the food was very good and I liked that it was so native. It was near to the beach and also near to the main road with shopping and bars, but very silent for a good sleep

The Cretan Night with the native dancers was the best. Thank you for everything, I'm sure I will come back

Excellent service! Clean rooms and near to beautiful beach! What else?!!!

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

This is a very good choice for adults🥰 The rooms are big and bright, the breakfast is super fresh and truly amazing, with good variety of warm food, fruits from the owners own garden, and homemade cakes and jams every day! You eat breakfast outside in the common area next to the pool

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.

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. This hotel is a credit to the owners 10/10 👍

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

The owners and staff is simply adorable and so helpful! The rooms come with a safe and a mini kitchen with a fridge and AC, overall very happy and would recommend it for anyone who wants to live in the old town

Nice and friendly staff. Very good and clean rooms with enough space and good beds. The breakfast is variated and delicious.

We just stayed there for the last 4 days and it was wonderful. Georgios is a great host and we felt like home at Olympia. The location is perfect, 2 min by feet to the sea and to many nice restaurants

We had a fantastic stay in this hotel. It was very clean, tidy, well equipped. The staff are lovely and friendly, very helpful too. plenty of towels and very nice touch, slippers

Great hotel. Very clean, elegant, stylish. On a very busy and loud street but with great soundproofing. Also has a nice pool. The reception is very helpful and friendly.

The pool and pool bar are very cozy. The beds were also very comfortable and the A/C is working perfectly, we could sleep very well with 35 degrees outside

It is close enough to Rethymno town, nice walk or short ride in taxi. We will stay again if we get the chance. Our stay was middle of June 2014

Great place to stay, good location, rooms are very nice, beautiful view from the roof top. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Very nice hotel and good service!!!!

The room had balcony and the hotel room itself was really clean. We had air conditioner also at the room. Receptionist named Katerina!? (Not sure if the name is writen right) was really nice and friendly

Great location but it's noisy due to trafficking, very hospitality staff. Only objection is there is no list of "useful things"in the room and you must ask for every info

The hotel has a really nice location. The quality of the hotel is quite average. We stayed there for 7 nights and breakfast was every day with the same selection of food

We had such great time in Crete while staying in Liberty Hotel. We would defenitely come back to you

Stuff changed shower tub by our request. we had room on 5th flour and nice view on harbor and Fortecia, Hotel doesn't have own parking, but it's good free parking near by

Relaxing place, nice hotel, friendly staff and a wonderful panoramic view. Modern, clean rooms with spacious balconies. Close to a charming old town and a nice natural bay nearby, with a stunning sea views

Spectacular sunrise and sunset

The staff were so kind! The manager asked us multiple times if everything was alright and always wanted to talk to us. It was extremley clean, tidy and it was beautiful with marble floors everywhere

The staff and their manager, Mr. The hotel has its own pool with sunbeds and umbrellas, as well as a pool bar. The breakfast offers a good selection and the kitchen is trying to fulfill special wishes as well

Good breakfast, comfortable beds. The only downside was an interior room with no air conditioning.

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

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

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

The evening patio dining and bar overlooked the ocean and although the menu was not as expansive, there were quite a lot of beverage options. The room we had was one of the suites, and met all of our needs

We did enjoy our stay very much. The rooms were big enough for 4 people and quiet as well as clean. The pool area though is too small - most beds were always taken and the water is very warm

Also, the housekeeping service was not good, they often left dirty items and a sink full of dirty dishes, even though we did our best to keep the unit clean on our own

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

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

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

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, it felt very authentic from start to finish. Would put a higher rating if possible
