We will likely come back thanks to the comfort, cleanliness, convenience, and atmosphere.
Pros:

Mr. Stelios and his staff at the hotel were exceptionally accommodating and ensured we were comfortable throughout our stay. The room had a wonderful ocean view overlooking the beach and Rethymno. The room was perfect for our week-long stay and was cleaned daily. We enjoyed staying at a place just outside the Rethymno Old Town since it was a bit quieter while being only a 10-15 minute walk from the town.

Pros:

Veldig hyggelig betjening og god service gjennom hele oppholdet. Hotellet hadde en god frokost med bra utvalg, samt en hyggelig bar med både mat og drikke. Beliggenheten var veldig bra med kort vei til sentrum, fine løpeforhold i området og kort avstand til lokalt treningssenter. Kan absolutt anbefales!

Aanrader
Pros:

Het personeel is superaardig en voorkomend. Stelios ontving ons persoonlijk laat nog in de avond en legde heel geduldig alles uit. We mochten zelfs kiezen welke kamer we wilden. Hebben we nog nooit meegemaakt. Uiteraard was het laagseizoen, maar dan nog. Kamers zijn prachtig en worden heel goed schoon gehouden. Kortom, een topper.

Great view and pool
Pros:

Great hotel with friendly staff. View is amazing looking to the beach. Location is good with 20mins walk to the old town. Free parking opposite hotel was convenient.

Cons:

There are moulds in the shower and its little run down. Be prepared taking several lifts to reach floors 2 and above.
