Pros:

Ο κ. Γιάννης ήταν υπέροχος μας βοήθησε σε ότι θέμα είχαμε και μας έδωσε και αναμνηστικά.
Το ξενοδοχείο ήταν στο κέντρο της πόλης και δίπλα σε όλα.

A great 4 night stay, we would definitely return if visiting Rethymno again
Pros:

From checking in to leaving, we had a great experience. Yannis was a very welcoming and generous host.
The room was larger than we expected and well equipped. The gratis fruit, wine and water was an unexpected bonus.
Hotel staff were helpful and looked after our room to a high standard.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

Recomand acest hotel!
Pros:

Totul a fost la superlativ. Am fost cazați într-un apartament pt 4 persoane, amenajat cu bun gust, dotat cu tot ce am fi putut avea nevoie. Curatenie desăvârșită la sosire, întreținută zilnic de personalul hotelului.
Dl. Yannis este o gazda excelenta. Ne-a dat informatii despre atractiile locale, restaurante si taverne. Ne-a oferit apa pe toată perioada cazării, fructe proaspete, o sticla cu vin la sosire, cadouri de bun ramas la plecare.
Recomand din toată inima acest hotel!

Pros:

I can’t recommend Afroditi enough. It was one of the best stays I’ve had. The apartment sits right in the centre of Rethymno’s old town, steps away from all the restaurants and bars. Inside, it had everything we needed and more. The host was exceptional, he was kind, proactive, and unbelievably flexible. Whatever we needed, he found a way to make it happen, quickly and with a smile. I’d stay here again every time I visit Rethymno.

Amenities (everything you could need) included:
Iron
Hair dryer and straighteners (not high end but usable for thickish hair)
Towels
Beach towels were offered if needed
Parking is offered outside the old town (5min walk max)
+ More

O locatie de neuitat si pe care o recomand! Vom reveni cu siguranta
Pros:

Locatia este imbatabila, cladirea istorica fiind situata in centrul vechi. De asemenea m-a impresionat curatenia, atentia la detalii.
Camera era dotata cu masina de spalat, fier de calcat.
Proprietatea are chiar si o mica biblioteca.
Proprietarul, un om deosebit, a fost foarte atent cu noi, am gasit frigiderul plin cu fructe, apa, suc. Am primit sfaturi foarte folositoare privind zona.
La plecare am primit cate ceva din partea dansului. Cu siguranta vom reveni aici si il recomandam tuturor celor care vor sa aiba o cazare.

Cons:

Nu exista
