Slightly aged building and amenities, still great, friendly stuff, clean, everything worked well. Amazing Terrace on the 5th floor with a great view to the harbor, especially in the morning for sunset. They offer turndown service. The room on the first floor was a bit noisy during the Saturday night traffic. Can recommend also in Winter, great value for price.

This is an absolute gem of a boutique hotel. Katarina and her so, Kinstantinos, are the very gracious owners of this gorgeous property in the heart of Rethymno. All the ancient and amazing sites are within walking distance, as well as wonderful dining and shopping options. The only downside is the parking situation, challenging in Rethymno, to say the least. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back.

This hotel has a lot of history but it is very modern, luxurious and clean. It is located opposite the port (you can walk to the ferry in 9 minutes) but it is a bit further to reach center city and we took a taxi back from eating there.

The hotel itself was nice, clean and there looked to be lots of services if needed. The location was very conveniently located next to the port. The hotel room seemed to have thin walls, could hear a lot while in the room. Also under the flight path so you could hear planes all day/night. The parking lot was convenient as well.
