Agréable
Pros:

Très bien pour les boissons, jus de d orange pressé, c est top. Pour le solide, œufs brouillés saucisses fromage et jambon, nickel. Dommage pas de spécialité locales comme le dakos ou le feuilleté fromage épinard. En sucré, un peu limité.
Chambre ok, service ok

Cons:

La douche, très vieillotte.

Pros:

Frukosten på restaurangen som tillhörde hotellet var inte prisvärd! Det ingick inte frukost i priset!

Cons:

Det var mycket trafik, som störde på gatan utanför hotellet.
Det var en ”dålig” lukt i badrummet - avlopp?

Voisin varata uudelleen
Pros:

Sijainti oli superhyvä. Meri heti vieressä. Kaupunkiin lyhyt matka ( 20 min) kävellä) . Henkilökunta hyvä, alakerran ravintolan ruoka oli myös hyvä.

Cons:

meillä oli 6-hengen sviitti. Alakerran oleskelutila oli mainio ja makuuhuoneet sopivat. Ottaen huomioon että tämä tila oli tarkoitettu 6-lle ihmiselle ,olisi voinut olla 2 suihkua. Ja alakerran wc oli aika pieni. Ne olit ainoa miinukset.

Fin beliggenhet ved strand, fint og rent rom, men et par ting som ikke var imorden (tett vask og brannfarlig hårføner)
Pros:

Beliggenhet

Cons:

Vasken på badet var nesten tett, og hårføneren virket ikke trygg å bruke (enormt høy og skutrete lyd, og luktet svidd…)

Good for a few days in Rethmyno
Pros:

The dining area was great and the breakfast selection was good. My sister needed gluten free bread and this was available for her.

Great Aircon.

Cons:

The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was as expected for this sort of accommodation. Everywhere looked like it needed some attention to match the standard downstairs. The glass separating the balconies needs replacing soon to improve the look.

Awesome, everything was great!
Pros:

Clean. Friendly staff, especially Kostas, who went out of his way to help us with anything. The beach is right in front of the hotel and sunbeds were free to use, just order some coffee from the bar. Location is awesome, since you got the beach right outside and the city center is around 10 minutes away by foot.

Hotel also has an elevator.

Lovely room and friendly staff in an ideal location for both beach and town.
Pros:

Excellent location. Very friendly staff. Rooms cleaned on a daily basis with towels and bedding changed more frequently than most accommodation we’ve stayed in.

Cons:

Wish the room had a little more storage space. Could have done with some drawers to keep underwear etc in.
The breakfast was very basic and exactly the same every day.
