כיף ממש. הילדים היו שם בעננים.
Pros:

המלון במיקום מעולה, ממש פחות מדקה ואתם בחוף על הטיילת במרכז העיניינים. ולמרות זאת, במלון עצמו, שקט ושליו.
הצוות מקסים, ממש אווירה משפחתית נעימה.
החדרים היו נקיים ונוחים .
הבריכה כיפית ונעימה, לא קפואה- שזה היה ממש נחמד.
מושלם. הצטערנו שהיינו שם רק לילה אחד.

If we return to Rethymno, we would not hesitate to rebook here.
Pros:

Extremely friendly staff who could not do enough for us.
It was our anniversary and they kindly gave us a free breakfast, a bottle of Prosecco and fruit in the room.
Location is perfect too, 15 min walk to the old town and 1 minute walk to the beach.
This is a family run hotel who care about every detail.

Cons:

Nothing

Ok hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla
Pros:

Siistit huoneet, kiva pieni uima-allas. Oli kätevää kun sai ostaa ruokia suoraan altailla, runsaat annokset. Todella hyvä sijainti erittäin lähellä rantaa ja kätevän kävelymatkan päässä mm vanhasta kaupungista.

Cons:

Työmaa aivan hotellin uima-allasalueen vieressä, oli todella ikävää kuunnella poran ja sirkkelin ääntä kun oli altailla. Huoneessa ikävä viemärin haju vessassa. Lapsille ei oikein tekemistä hotellissa eli suosittelen enemmän esim pariskunnille.

Прекрасное соотношение цены и качества.
Pros:

Отличное расположение, 100 метров и пляж! Удобные подушки, достаточно большой номер. Были на машине и все три дня находили место на улицах рядом с отелем. Отличный завтрак. Прекрасный дружелюбный персонал.

Cons:

Номер 106 был на цокольном этаже возле рецепшена; солнца не было, ощущение жилища хобита. Шум от разговоров на рецепшене и постояльцев у входа на рецепшен . На длительный срок скорее нет, чем да.

Excellent séjour!!
Pros:

Super sejour au Leonidas Hotel & Appartements qui est un établissement familial. Nous avons tout apprecié: la gentillesse du personnel, la chambre toute neuve ainsi que le balcon, la piscine... Le petit déjeuner était aussi bien servi. Le centre ville historique est accessible en 15 min à pied en longeant la plage. L hôtel est situé légèrement en retrait de la route longeant la mer, il est donc très calme. Nous avons aussi apprecié la proximité de quelques commerces alimentaires.

Cons:

Il manquait peut etre juste quelques équipements pour la cuisine (torchon, liquide vaisselle).

Pros:

New and modern rooms, gym and spa just opened. Friendly staff, nice pool area, good breakfast

Cons:

its a 10/10 normally but we have to reduce it by one point due to construction noise right next to the building. Its not the hotels fault but still it lowered our stay a bit. I assume it will be perfect next year.

Lovely Stay At The Leonidas Hotel And Apartments And Highly Reccomend
Pros:

My wife and I stayed in the brand new block that they have just recently added, in fact we were the very first guests to stay there on the 17/05/2026 we stayed in room 213 and everything was immaculate and brand new as was the full block, the hotel/ apartments are only 3 mins from the beach and 1/2 mins from a supermarket and restaurants/bars, everything really is on your doorstep and it is in a perfect location for exploring Rethymno, the hotel/apartments are a family run business and it shows as nothing is too much to trouble for them and they treat you like one of their own.

Cons:

We didn’t like leaving and are most definitely going to go back

Pros:

C'est le meilleur logement auquel nous sommes allés en Crète. Nous ne sommes restés qu'une nuit mais nous aurions voulu rester plus longtemps, la chambre était très propre et fonctionnelle. L'hôtel est un peu excentré mais dans une petite rue qui rejoint directement à la plage. Le personnel est adorable.

We would absolutely stay at Leonidas Hotel on our next visit to this beautiful city.
Pros:

It is a sweet family run business. The staff is sincerely interested in your comfort and well being. Located in a great location for walking into the old town, it’s also enjoyable to hang out at the pool or visit the beach.

Cons:

Loved everything!

Amazing value for money
Pros:

Fantastic location and value for money. Place was spotless. Staff were welcoming. Wi-Fi worked a dream, from the top floor to the pool area. Lots of sunbeds. Rooms cleaned daily and towels and sheets changed every couple days.

Cons:

Breakfast could be better. We came down half an hour before it finished and some items weren't replenished. Beds were rock hard and pillows too soft but that is just personal preference.
