Antica Dimora Suites

This is an excellent hotel located right in the old town of Rethymno. It was easy to explore the charming streets on foot, and the central bus station—perfect for day trips—was just a 10-minute walk away. The staff were incredibly friendly and eager to share local tips and recommendations, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast offered a classic continental selection, including fresh eggs, sausages, bread, pastries, and fruits. Everything was fresh and satisfying. While the swimming pool is on the smaller side, it was a lovely bonus and a great spot to cool off after a day of sightseeing. I would happily stay here again on my next visit to Rethymno.

If your looking for a modern hotel this is not for you we have stayed in lovely modern hotels but this is a different level. From the complementary safe large fridge small quiet court yard with a plunge pool this is one of the best places we’ve stayed in. The staff are just amazing Marcos and apologies for not remembering the lovely 2 ladies names ( I have trouble remembering my name most days ). They have made our holiday nothing is too much trouble. The old town is amazing best I’ve ever seen. The Greek people are just lovely. If you want a quaint traditional hotel this is the one. We are lucky to still be here and have another 4 days Crete has a little bit of my heart and will never forget the amazing staff here, I just hope the management appreciate them. Oh and if you get chance go to the fortress and check out Marcos’ art work simply beautiful. We wish you all the best

My daughter and I arrived very tired after a very delayed flight in the early hours of the morning. The hotel was closed and locked up but they had arranged someone to meet us with a key and show us to our room, great service and huge relief. Unfortunately although the room was lovely it wasn’t the room I had booked ( no balcony) On meeting Alexandra at breakfast, she explained that there had been a double booking but we would be moving to another room. by the time we came back from the beach all our luggage had been moved to our new room and wow it was fabulous, a gorgeous large balcony with views across the city, 4 poster bed and walk in large shower. Also complimentary bottle of wine and fresh fruit. The hotel is in a great location, we loved the old town and its winding streets and fabulous restaurants. 15 mins walk to nearest beach. The pool is small but great for a dip to cool off with comfortable sunbeds and complimentary iced tea. We used the bus to visit Georgioupolis which was beautifull with a great beach. Thanks again to Alexandria for all her recommendations and for organising our trip to spinalonga, somewhere I have always wanted to visit after reading The Island, definitely worth a visit. Also thanks to Marcus for looking after us and keeping us supplied with ice for our G and Ts This hotel is a great find, made even more special by its great staff who can’t do enough for you. Thanks for a great stay. We will return Jeanette and Ellie G

The worst hotel I have ever been to in my life. When me, my partner and my elderly parents arrived to the hotel after a full day of travelling we were greeted by the receptionist who offered us a drink and told us to sit down which we obviously assumed was our warm welcome as we checked in. HOWEVER. We were then told there is a big problem, that there is only 1 room available as we supposedly had ‘cancelled’ the other room which DID NOT happen. We were dumbfounded and showed the proof that we that had booked 2 rooms and had paid for 2 junior rooms with a balcony. The receptionist then said no we received a cancellation for one of the rooms. They said there is no more rooms available and we will all have to stay in the same room, a second room will only be available for 2 nights, 3 days after we arrived and we would have to pay an extra €120 euros per night if we was to do so, and then we would have to go back into one room all together after the 2 nights. This of course is not suitable. We paid for 2 junior suites. Every other hotel was booked up in the area so we had no option of trying to book another hotel either as a desperate measure. We asked for a refund because we booked 2 rooms and paid the money for 2 junior suites. The 1 room we all had to share was not suitable for 4 adults either. The hotel made up 2 single beds that felt as though they were made of stone and were fold up beds. My elderly mother is disabled. We were so stressed and upset at the situation and asked could we see the manager. The manager then arrived at the hotel and was very aggressive, unsympathetic and dismissive of us and told us it is our fault and that he cannot do nothing to help us and to take it up with EasyJet. Of course we did do this, and after a full day of waiting for EasyJet we had to stay in the one room overnight as 4 adults. It was a nightmare. My poor elderly mother was distraught. On the pictures advertising this hotel it looks lovely and quant but do not be deceived. It is dark and dingy. The breakfast area is 3 tables situated in the reception area with a disgraceful breakfast selection. I honestly cannot understand the good reviews about this hotel I am bewildered. Luckily, EasyJet resurrected our holiday and found us as a beautiful 5 star hotel 30 minutes from the old town and we could finally enjoy our holiday, after the beginning from hell. When leaving this hotel to go to our new hotel, reception told us we owe €65 to the manager for allowing 4 of us to stay in the one room. We honestly could not believe it. The audacity was unbelievable. I would not reccomend this hotel to anyone it is awful.
