The property is very clean, the pool was lovely for a refreshing dip and there was a bar serving cool drinks. The beach and local restaurants were a short walk away. It would be advantageous if the property updated the air conditioning units, as the current unit did not keep the room cool. But an enjoyable and relaxing stay all the same.

I've been a bit concerned about the noise (there is the main road just across the local street from the hotel) while booking, but we've slept perfectly well (the sound proof of our room 308 was excellent). So this hotel turned to be an optimal choice for our unfortunately just 1-day stay (we booked it to enjoy the evening in the old Rethymno). The access to the property from both directions is really very easy, there is a bakery and some tavernas just 1 street away (up the hill around the corner). There was some misunderstanding about the air-condition (for some bookings, the property charge a 5 EUR/day - you get a remote control at the reception desk), but we've settled that with a very kind and helpful guy at the reception in no time. WiFi is OK, a lot of parking places are provided, the pool looks nice (unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy). Despite the kitchen is advertised, there was only a fridge and a kettle in our room (with some cups and glasses, but nothing else). For our 1-night stay this was not a problem at all, but might be an issue if you plan to prepare even some simple meals. But I guess the property has also rooms with at least a kitchenette... All in all, I can only recommend this hproperty, and it will definitely be my first choice next time I'll need a place to stay for a short time around Rethymno (I don't know about the beach around, which might be quite important for a longer stay...).

Very comfortable stay great staff

A very comfortable stay with very helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is a short walk away from the beach, bars and restaurants. Demetrius and Manos ran a super hotel bar with great chat and entertainment thanks guys. The breakfast was very good with a great selection of items available each morning.

Home from Home

My daughter and myself had a lovely apartment overlooking the pool, large Livingroom with sofa and two single beds, small kitchen with table &chairs cooker and all equitation you need Plus a bedroom with a double bed in, all rooms led out on to a large balcony with table and chairs. witch had the sun all day If you need aircon it is 5 euro a day. The pool was kept lovely and clean and there was plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. The pool bar served very nice snacks and drinks. The bar does not close till the last person leaves,whitch you can imagine can be very late but no problem. It s a short walk to the main strip by turning right out of the hotel and under a small underpass and there are lots of shops bars and tavernas.All the tavernas serve lovely food, we tried a different one every night, The White Lady taverna was nice food with live singing and music on Wednesday Friday and Monday.Busses every half an hour to Reythamnon Town 1.30 euros and the old town and harbour are a must.l

Hôtel relativement accueillant

Hôtel proche de la plage 350m et des commerces (LIDL, supérettes). Personnel sympathique mais peu causant, présent en cas de problème. Bar de l'hôtel sympa faisant restauration (uniquement aux horaires d'ouverture de la piscine pour se restaurer). Piscine dans laquelle on peut se baigner la journée et en soirée. Appartement un peu vétuste (peu d'équipement de cuisine, salle de bains sale, lits pas très confortables, tuyaux apparents...). Cuisinière et petit frigo permettant de se faire des repas sur place. Hôtel envahi par les chats du quartier... Conseillé aux personnes qui ne restent pas la journée à l'hôtel mais bon pied à terre pour rentrer le soir après une journée de visite etc.

einfaches Hotel, Preis-leistung-gut

Familienhotel, geführt eher von den Söhnen und Tochter der Familie, nicht immer engagiert, aber es war ok. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, es war alles da, was man braucht, um den Tag zu beginnen. Das Essen wurde immer aufgefüllt, auch wenn man manchmal kurz warten musste- kein Problem, wir waren ja im Urlaub. Hotel irgendwie mitten im Nirgendwo (genauso wie andere Hotels in der Nähe), gleich neben einer Schnellstraße, die Autos haben aber nicht wirklich gestrört, wenn man nicht gerade ein Zimmer zur Straße hatte. Der Pool war sauber, für Erwachsene wie für Kinder geeignet. Zimmer nicht wirklich gemütlich, nur zweckmäßig, mit Balkon. Wer kochen möchte, sollte alles mitnehmen ;) Bei den vielen Restaurants in der Nähe und den guten Preisen, sollte man nicht kochen, schon gar nicht im Urlaub! Wlan im Zimmer hat gar nicht funktioniert. Duschvorhang TOTAL verschimmelt, haben wir als erstes abgemacht! Es wird zwar sauber gemacht, das Bad und die Kochnische sind aber so veraltet und verbraucht, dass man da glaube ich nichts mehr machen kann, nur neu kaufen. Sanitäranlagen waren echt ecklig! Zum Strand läuft man (unter der Schnellstraße :) ) zu Fuß. Strand sehr schön und weitläufig. Liegen kosten pro person 3€ pro Tag, alles ok. Zu Rethymnon fährt man mit dem Bus, klappt alles wunderbar. Dort kann man schön essen gehen und durch die Geschäfte schlendern, allerdings kein Strand, nur Promenade. Es ist also besser außerhalb von rethymnon urlaub machen.

Kwaliteit passend bij prijs

Redelijke accomodatie, beheert door aardige familie en zwembad is netjes. Kamers zijn zeer basic maar gezien prijs kun je ook niet teveel verwachten. Wij hadden het prima gevonden maar door de geluidsoverlast van de bar een paar avonden tot diep in de nacht, met als gevolg een slechte nachtrust, gaan wij hier niet weer naar toe.
