Wow! This was such an amazing property! A really old hotel with a lot of character ! The staff were very nice and the location was superb! Many ties pick you up a stones throw from the hotel ! I would highly recommend this location in the old town!

The care taker Nicos was friendly, accommodating and just charming. The property was tucked away no kind of hard to locate but worth a simple night in the middle of the old town .

2 nights in Rethymnon
We arrived in pouring rain as a hurricane blew off the coast. It was comforting to hear the splash of water falling from the rooves into the narrow streets below through shuttered windows of this converted Byzantine tower . Comfortable bed and wi-fi ok. Ample breakfast in room opening to pretty courtyard. Situated in the old city and surrounded by shops and restaurants. If you park your car overnight in the nearby Municipal Gardens car park, purchase a pre-paid ticket for 5 euro from the kiosk when you arrive, otherwise you may have to pay 13E the next morning, as did I.

Typical Greek Hotel
After booking a late hotel, we were disappointed on arrival at this place. Very basic and whilst having some lovely features the place is badly in need of some TLC. Breakfast was the same every day apart from the pastries. Don’t attempt to go here unless you can manage steps.

Fantastic Hotel set in old Byzantine tower
Great hotel, fantastic staff, handily located. We stayed only the one night but dearly wish we had stayed for longer. We were made to feel extremely welcome. The breakfast was excellent, and the beds comfy.

Beautiful Hotel. But the beds were unacceptable. You could not move in either one without them making a tremendous amount of noise. They were very uncomfortable and nearly no sleep was achieved because of them.

Lucky stay
Nicos went out of his way to help us. On July 19 our ferry was two hours late from Santorini and our car rental was canceled when we arrived in Heraklion (don't try and rent from Gold Car/Ace without an international drivers licence). We arrived at the hotel at 12:30am and Nikos let us in an showed us to our room for 4. It was a great room with a loft. Breakfast was simple but awesome and is served in a stonewalled room with Bougainvillea overhead. After breakfast Nikos and his wife asked us to review our booking and informed us that according to their records (and ours) we hadn't booked the previous night but our stay was set to begin on the 20th. No trouble according to them. They just said we were lucky the room was available. In our opinion we wished we had another day in Rethymnon as Chania didn't live up to what people say about it.

Best location possible
Beautiful little family run hotel just inside Rethymno old town and near all the shops & restaurants, but tucked away so no noise from outside at night. Nicos, the owner couldn't be more hospitable. The breakfasts are continental style - so much food we never managed to finish one. If you're looking for somewhere with authentic Greek charm I would recommend.
