“A really lovely stay, the hotel is very nice and the location is perfect as the beach is literally just steps away, also”

The location was excellent, breakfast was very nice and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Upgrade to private suite with pool and sauna was tremendous. Great quality of furnishings

Location was good. Staff were friendly & helpful. Bed was very comfortable. The balcony was substantial and we had a great view of the sea.

Every thing. The stuff, the location,breakfast, room.

“Very enjoyable and relaxing”

Right on the front and close to the old town

Location, room, staff

“Crete is a great holiday destination.”

Great hotel, location and staff. Lovely old town. Nice beach and easy walking distance to the old town. Plenty of tours. Good shopping and restaurants. We went to Crete mid April and were not aware that the holiday season started later in the year. Weather very mixed and windy. Notwithstanding we had a great holiday and would have no problem recommending Crete as a great destination.

Loved the room. Location, staff, our executive suite with private pool and sauna. The bed was so comfortable we tried to read label of sheets and mattress so we could purchase for home. We said it truly was the perfect bed. The freshly squeezed orange juice served to the table each morning ehole sitting in front of the beach was fabulous. Our 3rd visit, and not our last. We brought extra family this year, and they also loved it.

This is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Quiet, very comfortable, close to old town and beach I would always come back

“Great for one night.”

Everything satisfactory except for the pillows - too heavy and too hard.

“Unforgettable experience!!”

Thank you for an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, right up until the very end, everything was perfect. The hotel staff are so personable, warm and welcoming. The breakfast was incredible with huge variety and the rooms were impeccably clean, modern and spacious. Thank you for making a solo female traveller feel so welcomed and safe. See you again next year!! 💙

Superb in every way! Ideal location, just a short walk along the seafront to the old town and footsteps from a lovely beach. Great varied breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. Spotlessly clean, We stayed in the two bed, two bath suite on the 5th floor, perfect with two teens. One of the best hotels we have stayed in!

“RELAXED SUNSHINE HOLIDAY”

Proximity to everything. Fantastic staff so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Great breakfast. Loved loved loved our balcony pool. Honestly faultless

“Best holiday for my family”

Excellent hotel on the beach, close to everything in the beautiful Rethimno. It was the perfect holiday. Excellent service, very kind, very friendly. Again: perfect for my family! Really recommend them! We will come again here!

Excellent hotel by the beach (sandy and with warm water), with a nice swimming pool and a bar. Our room was spacious and had its own, really big pool, which was great with the kids. Nice breakfast with lots of choice - seasonal local fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice and some home-made cake were my favourite. It’s a family-run hotel, not a huge chain hotel run by an anonymous company, with very friendly and helpful staff. The area is lively but the rooms are quiet and it is safe to walk at any time of the day. We were lucky to park in front of the hotel - and if there are no spaces availble, you will find something nearby. There are water sports centres nearby if you want to try some activities. Rethymno is a short walk away, definitely nice to visit!

Sensational stay, fabulous location, comfortable and beautiful amenities.

“Amazing hotel with amazing people.”

“Awful noisy and a waste of money”

The suite was nice with a private sauna and pool but it was completely ruined by builders next door smoking all day shouting and drilling and banging from 7am

“A very nice hotel for a 2–3 night stay in Rethymno.”

• The room we received was spacious and large. • Comfortable bed. • The room was clean. • The staff, especially during breakfast, were wonderful. • Direct sea view. • Four parking spots available on a first-come, first-served basis

“Ideal mix of comfort, location, and hospitality”

We’ve now stayed at Swell Boutique Hotel three times, and each visit has been a truly wonderful experience. As a small hotel, it offers a sense of personal touch and comfort that’s hard to find elsewhere. The staff—and the owner—are very friendly, always welcoming and eager to assist with any request. Their warmth and hospitality make you feel like a valued guest from the moment you arrive. The rooms are impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and well-equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Mornings start with a delicious Greek breakfast, offering a wide variety of fresh choices—including excellent fresh orange juice. With its beautiful views of the beach and great location (plus own parking) Swell Boutique Hotel combines convenience with tranquility. We’ve returned several times already and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Highly recommended.
