Pros:

Sehr gutes Frühstück, ausgesprochen geräumiges Zimmer, sehr hochwertig eingerichtet. Das Hotel befindet sich in einem antiken Gebäude ist aber sehr geschmackvoll renoviert und eingerichtet.

Cons:

Die Lage ist an einer viel befahrenen Hauptstraße, zu Fuß braucht man gute 20 Minuten in die Innenstadt.

Pros:

Huoneisto oli ihastuttava.

Cons:

Ehkä sesongin loppu näkyi jo henkilökunnan palveluasenteessa. Siinä oli ollut parantamisen varaa. Hymy ei maksa mitään❤️

Velmi krásný hotel, fotografie naprosto odpovídají skutečnosti.
Pros:

Snídaně byly výborné, každý den byla změna, personál velmi milý a ochotný pomoci s čímkoliv.

Cons:

Snad jen možná o pár lehátek a slunečníků víc na jejich soukromé pláži.

Hôtel parfait à Rethymno
Pros:

L’emplacement est idéal, proche du centre mais paisible. Très bel hôtel, et la chambre était spacieuse, confortable et propre. Petit-déjeuner exceptionnel, souvent réapprovisionné. Bel accueil, tout le personnel est très sympathique

Pros:

Chambre agréable et très confortable en bord de mer

Cons:

L'environnement immédiat de l'hôtel est très moyen et il faut prendre sa voiture pour aller dans la vieille ville et en conséquence se garer, ce qui est problématique. La plage à côté immédiat de l'hôtel laisse à désirer (accès, propreté...).

Pros:

Lovely hotel with gorgeous rooms, staff friendly and restaurant very good

Cons:

There is no beach as shown in the pictures, and the area around the hotel has nothing to offer. But a short taxi ride takes you to the old town

Very nice for 1-2 night stay, the lack of outside space at the room meant that we wouldn't have wanted to stay for
Pros:

The bedroom was stunning and incredibly stylish and clean. The breakfast was lovely and the young man on reception was super helpful

Cons:

The parking was far from ideal, very small abs a little walk away and the photos were quite deceptive, we thought that our room would have a view but it didn't

Vue à couper le souffle
Pros:

Hôtel parfaitement placé car ville accessible à pieds sans être dans les bruits du centre. Mer à proximité immédiate.
Chambre aménagée avec goût et très propre avec vue splendide.
La route passante à proximité n’est absolument pas un problème.

Petit déjeuné sous forme de buffet mais peu qualitatif
