Location: The hotel is praised for its central position, just a short walk (5–15 minutes) to the old town, beach, shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Its proximity to public transport and parking options is noted as convenient.(based on 2 reviews)

Centrally located hotel with a small pool on top. Noisy pool area (music) and drainage didn’t work properly in the shower. Clean room.

Very bad, the basement is oily, the surroundings are messy, the service attitude is bad, and the facilities are average.

The standard rooms are very cramped which I would not book again. We asked for a bigger room and we got it without any problems. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. Even if you want to park in the street. Please note otherwise it is paid parking on a site further on. Old town is within walking distance 2 min. Walking to the beach is 8-10 min. Enough bars and eateries in the street. Location and staff are really a 10. Didn't go swimming because it was too cold but pool is smaller than it looks in the photos. Hotel is very nicely decorated it can be seen that it has just been renovated.

The hotel was incredible! It’s right in town so the location was perfect, our room was a nice size and very nicely finished. The rooftop pool was lovely and had some nice views across the town. The staff were super helpful and extremely friendly! We will definitely be recommending this hotel to our friends and family and will book to stay again one day! I was a bit sceptical about this hotel after reading some of the reviews on here but they are absolute nonsense! The hotel is very clean and the room we had was a lovely size. I would recommend asking for room 108 as this was the room we had which was perfect!

The hotel appeared to be ok on the inside however the food was usually cold and not often warm. The pool area wasn’t clean and staff particularly looked miserable moaning when ever someone moved their sun lounger. On arrival the pool was green and algae surrounded the edges of the pool, not very inviting. Most days we spent days at the beach which was expensive but saved some hassle around the pool. So glad we did as my partner is now in A and E with a stomach bug picked up from contaminated water, namely pool water and is severely ill still from last Thursday which was the last few days of our holiday. We did not eat anywhere else and did not use any other pool , Shame as now he has been diagnosed with Giardiasis.

The pool is absolutely filthy, green scum all around the pool, the beds and tables were dirty and dilapidated, the room for 3 people was way too small even for 2 people. There's a climate tax charge of 10 euros a day for us totalled too 100 euros on the day of check out which I wasn't advised of when checking in. The food was cold as it was prepared in another hotel. The only positives is mary and Alex who run the bar, very sweet and polite.

Most beautiful hotel ever, so nicely decorated, felt so clean and luxurious. All staff members were so welcoming and kind. Bedroom was gorgeous, on the smaller side but no issue since it was just 2 of us. The pool although small was perfect, lovely little bar as well to grab drinks, not many sunbeds so gets quite full but we mainly went up after breakfast when it was quieter and just as sunny. The only downside to our stay was the food, we were half board, there was always a wide selection of foods but some of it was interesting. Dinner typically always had at least quite a few different options, even as a picky eater. However breakfast was typically quite strange, the hot food was almost dinner style, some mornings their even being pizza and onion rings. But all in all despite the interesting foods at times, there was always something to eat we enjoyed. Had an amazing time, would reccomend to anyone :)

Stayed here with the Mrs for 8 nights/ 9 days on a jet 2 holiday package. 2 minor negatives - room’s were small on the restaurant side, which I think anyone booking through jet 2 were given, secondly the breakfast was not ideal for British people but there were not a lot of brits in Rethymno (not a bad thing lol). There was plenty bars and restaurants near by for excellent food though and some mornings toast and eggs did the job from the hotel. Overall we would stay here again in a heartbeat; the hotel reception, bathrooms and pool/ bar areas are excellent. The hotel staff are so nice as well. Rooms were cleaned every day and had great AC. The hotel is only a stone throw away from old town and a 10 min walk to the beach. Rethymnon was a mixture of lovely restaurants and a lovely old town, but nightlife there as well for those who want it. The food and people are great! Will be back, Efcharisto!
