Another excellent stay at this lovely hotel. We will be coming back
Pros:

Room very clean and comfortable - good size. Amazing property - been five times. Staff very friendly.

Cons:

Breakfast choice very good but "hot" items ie bacon, sausage, eggs cold - need to purchase an electric warmer to keep items hot. We are early breakfasters so coldness not because we are late down!

Great location and perfect parking. Good size room and we had a lounge and kitchenette on the top (3rd) floor. No lift b
Pros:

Location was amazing and the free parking was a bonus too. We had top floor room with balcony and kitchenette.

Cons:

WiFi was poor to non existent. Reception didn’t seem to be manned all the time. AC could have been better or maybe we didn’t know how to work it properly

We enjoyed Rethymno and the location of the hotel.
Pros:

The continental breakfast was ok, but just ok. The location was excellent, just 5 minutes walk to the centre of the old town with a good selection of bars and restaurants, and a few hundred yards to the seafront. The hotel has their own car park just over the road and there are always plenty of parking spaces.

Cons:

I would have preferred a room on one level, but it was what we chose when we booked. A wall light in the lounge didn’t work and in the bathroom we couldn’t change the shower in order to run a bath as the knob you pull up on the shower unit came away in your hand.

Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Altes Bad mit dusche in der Badewanne. Etwas dunkel. Rezeption nur sehr selten besetzt.
Frühstück war überschaubar aber ok. Nur Filterkaffee oder Kapselmaschine.

Das schlechteste waren die fast gar nucht schalldedämmten Fenster zur Strasse hin. Die vorbeifahrenden Fahrzeuge (über Kopfsteinpflaster) konnte man bis spät in den abend hinein hören.

Sehr gut der eigene mit Schranke abgesperrte Parkplatz (kostenfrei).

Die lage war auch sehr gut. Sehr nah zur Altstadt und zum Hafen hin.

Exklusiv ist leider nur die Lage und der Preis...
Pros:

Die Lage und dazu Parkplatz war super
Frühstück war ausreichend gut
Personal war freundlich
Kleine Kochnische

Cons:

Beim Anreisetag ging das Babybett kabutt...bei jeder Berührung klappte das Bett zusammen
3 mal haben wir das gemeldet...nichts ist passiert. Haben es nicht mal mit uns angeschaut
Zudem ist die Rezeption sehr selten besetzt.
Hat man eine Frage oder Problem muss man auf eigene Kosten jemand von der Rezeption anrufen.
Für ein 4 Sterne Hotel stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis leider überhaupt nicht

Parfait decor pour un séjour dans la ville magnifique de Rethymnon
Pros:

Très bel hôtel, dans la vieille ville accessible à pied.
Le parking juste en face, tellement pratique à Rethymnon en été. La vue de la terrasse, aménagée avec des transats.
Et le petit plus ,la piscine juste ce qu'il faut pour se rafraîchir, dans la cour intérieure, magnifique.
La suite junior très confortable.

Cons:

Juste le manque d'une cafetière, il n'y avait que la petite "zazoua" pour le café grec.
