This property was suggested by ebooker's rep. after failing to original book online. This studio apartment was superb with all necessary newly equipped furniture and fantastic sea/beach view from the bedroom. Also in quiet location in front with open square. Restaurant , Bar, & reception staffs very helpful. Option to have towels & bedsheets change frequently. I would definitely go again here

Our rooms were nice but the staff was not very friendly. There was easy walking to groceries and food. Nice outside patio space to sit outside our rooms. The staff just wasn't welcoming and made us feel a bit uncomfortable.

Happy with our choice
It was a very clean, small hotel at the end of the long sandy beach area. It was quite far from the old city to walk there every day, but there are a good couple of nice restaurants nearby.
The room was spacious with basic equipment in the kitchenette.
Generally, we were happy with our choice but must mention a couple of things in the hope it will improve the hotel further.
- Breakfast was very basic and repetitive. During our 10 day stay, we found every day the same food, which we got bored with after a few days. It would have been nice to see variety in pastries, ham, eggs or even fruits.
- Showergel and shampoo...every time we had to ask for it.
- The open shower was very narrow what made the whole bathroom flooding after use.
On the positive side:
- The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The location is perfect. Steps away from the beach and a number of boardwalk taverns that we enjoyed more than the busy restaurants in the main part of town. We used the car to get to the center of town with easy, inexpensive parking at the port.
The hotel is lovely and our superior apartment perfect for three of us. Very spacious. We very much enjoyed the quiet and respectful guests. We did not take the buffet breakfast but it looked lovely. I highly recommend this property.

Great Service!
Despite we arrived to the hotel quite late in the evening, the reception desk left everything perfectly prepared for our arrival. The morning after, they advised us on the beaches to go due to the strong wind. Excellent!

Friendly, quiet, clean & clean smelling, spacious, close to ocean and lots of restaurants. Could walk or take local buses to old town historical area. Beach is rocky enough that water shoes are a real asset but water is very clear, warm & waves are gentle most days. The one down side is that smoking is allowed in all common areas, but that is the situation throughout Greece. Consistent, beautiful weather in Sept.

Excellent location for Rethymno. Good size rooms / apartments.
Not as clean as others (kitchen smelt damp inside cupboards). Power cut one evening (not their fault) but there wasn’t anyone there to reassure guests / help / let them know what was going on. Decor a little dated (but reasonable for price). Building site in front of hotel (also not their fault and looks like it will improve the hotel once finished, but would have been nice to be forewarned). Noisy water pump on roof meaning we were awake for a lot of the first night. We were put on second floor with a three year old and there is no lift. Not enough parking for guests staying. Not particularly secure (no front door that was locked at night, anyone could come up the stairs to the door of your apartment)

We loved the atmosphere, the pool, beach and bar area were fantastic. Our room was in need of a few repairs, but once the hotel was told the maintenance person attended immediately. We would definitely stay here again :)
