The position is the strong point of the hotel, with a private parking: near the center of the old town, you don’t need to use the car to hang out, among the beautiful streets of Rethymno! The rooms were very clean and spacious, and not to mention the hotel's peaceful atmosphere — it was very quiet and far from the city's noise. The cherry on top was definitely the hotel staff, including the owner — always kind and attentive to every little need, ready to solve any issue and suggest great places to visit in the area. Thumbs up for the breakfast!

Voula was very helpful and made us very welcome. All the staff we met were very pleasant and made our stay enjoyable.We arrived early and they let us park the car and book in early as it was quite. Have stayed here a number of times and would highly recommend staying here. Thank you all the staff.

Location of this beautiful hotel was perfect, just on the edge of the old town. It was our third stay here, so we obviously like the place. The staff, as always, were wonderful and the free hotel parking is a great bonus if, like us, you’re touring in a car.

The room was very nice, there is a lot of space. The hotel has dedicated parking which is very useful when in Crete. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

“Pretty good, but maybe could be better”
Well-placed on the edge of the city. Small hotel, but nice big room. A bit pricey. Staff fine, but should have been someone to help with cases from the car park. E.G: the large security man, who seemed under-employed.

“Hotel with Parking!”
We had a nice suite on the bottom floor. The front desk staff was very friendly, and provided coffee supplies as we had to leave early for the Heraklion airport the next morning before breakfast opened.

“A very nice hotel, but.....”
Nice hotel with big, clean rooms, comfortable beds and good facilities inside the rooms. The location was fantastic, at the edge of the old town with easy access for both car driving and strolling to the old town center. It is probably the only hotel in the old town with a car park. The owner/manager was very nice offering us breakfast while we thought we didn’t have the breakfast plan.

“Lovely stay near the fortress”
Lovely hotel with very friendly staff. We felt very welcome. The hotel was rather calm when we were there so we had the pool to ourselves. We rested on the sun beds and enjoyed the sunset from there. Very good breakfast, every day a little different. Nice location, close to the city center and not noisy at all.

“Fantastic property if things are fixed”
Situated below the Venetian Fort and in Old Town Rethymnon. Quirky property with lovely central courtyard, which our room and balcony overlooked. We had a generous sized junior suite, with a seating area, large double bed, bathroom and small kitchen area with fridge. Lots of restaurants and shops within short walking distance. A space in the car park opposite the apartments can be reserved when booking. Staff were helpful
