Great location and value for money.
Pros:

The location and views of the harbour are exceptional. Its also very close to the Old Quarter of Rethymno. Everything is on your doorstep. Beds are very comfortable. Rooms are clean

Cons:

Rooms are basically decorated but this does not detract from their value for the cost and where you are - clode to everything in the city.

Très bon établissement avec un emplacement idéal, et confortable.
Pros:

Le logement est bien situé, à 2 min à pied des restos sympas le soir. Il est certes un peu bruyant le soir avec les bars alentours mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé, c'est bien isolé. La vue sur le port rajoute un vrai plus, c'est ce qu'on a particulièrement aimé.

Cons:

Le point négatif est le parking puisqu'il n'y en a pas. Nous nous sommes donc garés la nuit sur le parking du port à 5 min à pied, nous en avons eu pour 13€ environ par nuit ce qui reste correct mais il faut le savoir en amont.

Atmosfera romantica
Pros:

Locatia foarte frumoasa, fix in port. Privelistea uimitoare. Personal foarte dragut

Cons:

Camera foarte mica si salteaua putin incomoda insa raportat la pret si pentru faptul ca am stat doar o noapte, a fost in regula.
Atmosfera acopera orice minus

Excelent
Pros:

Locatia este excelenta! Curat in camera. Personalul amabil si atent. Exista o terasa cu priveliste. Raport bun calitate-pret.

Cons:

Baia micuta (pare sa fie, totusi, o caracteristica a cladirilor mai vechi de pe insula) dar dotata cu tot ce trebuie.

Pros:

The room was super, super small, but cozy. The hotel itself feels a bit squeezed together, but that didn’t bother us — the location is ideal, and the view from the balcony is amazing. It was very sweet to find a little candy on the bed, and the room was very clean and well prepared. The girl at reception was lovely, and overall the place and the location were just perfect. We would definitely come back.

Séjour agréable.
Pros:

L’emplacement face au phare.
L’accueil à notre arrivée.
La terrasse pour l’une des chambres.

Cons:

L’accueil au moment du départ.
La climatisation qui dégageait de la chaleur sur le petit balcon d’une chambre.
Le support produits inutile dans la douche déjà étroite dans cette même chambre.
