Phaedra Suites

Location: Consistently praised for being in the heart of Rethymno’s Old Town, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, the Venetian Harbour, and the beach.

Welcoming place with personal touch This was probably one of the most enjoyable places I have ever stayed at. The owner receives you, shows you around and is just so invested in your well-being. I felt very welcome and appreciated, almost like if I am family. She helped me in finding little less-known spots in town and had input on planned activities. I also appreciated the nice chats with her. I have nothing to complain about the cleanliness, it was just perfect. Location: at the edge of the old-town. Everything was in walking distance and there were no noisy bars/restaurants close. Some people might have problems with the noise of the cars from the street (in street facing rooms), but that differs from person to person. I also appreciated how quiet the place was. The property seemed to be a repurposed town-house and had just a few rooms. The way it is advertised it appears that a certain type of calmer people are inclined to book the place. I also was happy that this was a privately owned hotel and not one of the big chains (I know the irony of having booked it through this website).
