Pros:

Parkplatz ausreichend genug vor der Tür
15 Minuten fußläufig direkt in der Altstadt oder am Hafen.
Alle im Personal sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und immer mit einem Lächeln.
Der Manager Herr Stelios versorgt einen auch mit Tipps zu Ausflügen in der Umgebung oder zu Badestellen.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit privatem Pool.
Morgens aufwachen und Blick zum Meer ist Erholung pur. Der Pool war für Anfang Mai noch zu kalt für uns, so dass wir ihn wenig genutzt haben.

Danke an das ganze Team für diesen tollen Urlaub 🙂

Bel hotel pour un court séjour.
Pros:

Le Monsieur de la réception (Stellios )est d’une gentille incroyable et nous a donné beaucoup de bons conseils sur les endroits où aller, un grand merci à lui! L’établissement est très propre et il est assez facile de stationner aux alentours de l’hôtel.

Cons:

Il n’y a aucun rangement ni étagère dans la salle de bain, on doit poser toutes les affaires au sol, pas terrible. Ils ne fournissent qu’un petit tube de gel douche, pas de shampoing, conditionner et autres qu’il y a normalement dans les hôtels 4 étoiles. Chambre collée à la salle du petit déjeuner donc impossible de dormir après 7h30.

Rento, viihtyisä majapaikka meren äärellä.
Pros:

Henkilökunta, erityisesti omistaja, erittäin ystävällisiä ja avuliaita. Kotoisa, mutkaton hotelli. Ei turhia hienouksia, mutta ei suuria puutteitakaan. Hyvä aamupala.

Cons:

Pyyhkeet ja liinavaatteet olivat ajoittain likaisia pesun jälkeen. Huoneessa olevia astioita ei pesty/vaihdettu kertaakaan oleskelumme aikana, eikä niitä voinut kunnolla itsekään tiskata välineiden puuttuessa. Huoneesta puuttui myös matkalaukkuteline.

Pros:

Allesandro at the Front Desk could not have been more helpful. The owner was also on hand to welcome us and give us our choice of rooms. The hotel is on a busy street but our room was very quiet with an excellent view. The breakfast was substantial and very good. It's about a 10 min walk into town as described or a short taxi ride. Would definitely recommend this hotel..

Beautiful spot in Rethymno with lovely hotel owner
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with spectacular views across the ocean and town. The breakfast buffet was exceptional with so much variety. Lovely hotel room with a decent sized balcony and well equipped. The hotel owner, Stelios and his wife were very welcoming and stayed up late to greet us for our late 1am arrival and was always so cheerful and friendly and really made our stay.

Cons:

Nothing
