"This is a hidden gem in Old Town. The owner and staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The rooms are immaculate with high end amenities. We had a balcony that overlooked the street below, but even with the location being right in the heart of Old Town, the room was very quiet and comfortable for sleeping. The rooms are also exceptionally beautiful. You can see the love that goes into this small boutique hotel. Parking is not an issue either, with a paid lot a couple of blocks away....

Perfect location right in the old town pedestrian area with tons of restaurants and shops, plus a walk to the beach and the Fortezza. Staff from front desk, to barista, to breakfast, to housekeeping all stellar."

Top Paleontological Museum Hotel Reviews

Atrium Ambiance Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff at the hotel are extremely nice and helpful, going out of their way to offer help and advice. We were also particularly surprised and grateful when a cake and sparkling wine was delivered by room service to mark my daughters birthday, it was a really nice touch. Our room wss nice and clean, plus very comfortable. The added bonus of a TV that let us stream from our devices was nice too. Food was in the main nice/good. We only ate at breakfast and dinner, so only had the buffet food. There was a great salad selection each night and a variety of local foods, plus pasta. Thr pool unfortunately I felt lets the hotel down. As the name suggests, it is an attrium, so it is completely surrounded by the hotel..this means it is a bit shaded at times, but main issue is it was unfortunately not the clearest and had signs that it needed a bit more cleaning along the sides where green algae was starting to show. Other things to consider - it is in a built up area , so there is a bit of street noise and parking is on the street. We didnt struggle to find a space , but did feel like we got lucky. Its a nice hotel though, and very close to the beach. It worked as a good base for our trip around the Island."

Aquila Porto Rethymno

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful few days at Aquila Porto Rethymno. The property is beautiful and well maintained and with many additional facilities and games than expected. We went mid-June and had a wonderful time at the pool and beach, easily finding chairs, however, the drinks service was slow. The breakfast spread was delicious and plentiful. Very convenient location with easy walking distance to town."

Hotel Ideon

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay for our old town desires. Parking can be a pain BUT I would say it’s a better situation here then most hotel options that don’t offer onsite parking - we always were able to find parking Breakfast was good, location was great. Having a pool was great for my toddler. Ac got freezing in our room which was nice."

Aristea Hotel Rethymnon

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Parking can be difficult to find at certain times of day, but usually you find something. Pool was lovely. Rooms cleaned well, towels for pool provided. Coffee shops/bakeries, supermarket, laundromat at the end of the street. Lots of sets of approx 2-5 steps throughout the property, so although not multi-storey, is a bit of a work out managing luggage. Thanks for a great stay, I wouldn't hesitate to come back again."

Elina Hotel Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"I don't buy into the negative reviews about Elina Hotel and Apartments. These are likely outdated, as we spent 8 nights here and didn't experience any problems. The superior apartment was bright, spacious and clean, with a good shower and good air conditioning. Despite being next to a busy road, the windows had good sound protection, so we were not bothered by any noise from outside. The reception staff were always polite and helpful. Our room was cleaned every 2 or 3 days, and it was easy to change towels or top up on bathroom accessories between cleans. The location is absolutely ideal, being 5 minutes walk from a superb beach and 5 minutes walk from the start of the Old Town, there are dozens of local amenities, including supermarkets, bakeries, cafes and bars, all within easy walking distance. I would definitely stay here again."

Veneto Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I stayed at the Veneto Boutique Hotel during our trip to Crete, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, whose warmth and hospitality helped make our stay memorable. One of the things we loved most was the hotel's unique character. Staying in a beautifully restored historic building in the heart of Rethymno's Old Town gave us a much richer experience than staying in a typical hotel. The atmosphere was charming, peaceful, and full of history, yet the rooms were comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The location could not have been better. We enjoyed wandering through the narrow streets of the Old Town, exploring local shops, visiting historic sites, and walking to the harbor, all just steps from the hotel. After busy days of sightseeing, it was wonderful to return to the quiet courtyard and relax. Traveling with my daughter, I especially appreciated how safe, welcoming, and comfortable the hotel felt. The staff was always happy to answer questions, offer recommendations, and help us make the most of our time in Rethymno. Looking back on our Greece trip, the Veneto Boutique Hotel stands out as one of our favorite places to stay. It offered the perfect combination of history, comfort, location, and exceptional service. I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Crete."
