"This is a great place to stay on the edge of the old town. The owner was very helpful, she made sure we had everything we needed, and her thoughtfulness made us feel very welcome. We had a 1st floor balcony room which was excellent and we thought that it was worth paying the extra. The pool and courtyard space is very peaceful - with lots of thoughtful touches like free tea one coffee, and a dedicated drinking water tap"
"This stay was so charming. The room we stayed in was beautiful and the bed so comfortable. It's conveniently located to shops and restaurants in old town. But what makes them above and beyond is their customer service. All the staff were so helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again"
"Loved the hotel and room, however, since we could not throw our toilet paper in any toilet in Greece, it would have been nice to have another trashcan in the bedroom area."
"Mythos Suites Hotel is a very good choice for Rethymno- larger than a standard hotel room, well appointed and centrally located, The breakfast included was very good."
"If you want to be in an old venetian house filled with interesting features and antiques, this is the place to be. Also very close to the harbor and restaurants."
"Fantastic historic hotel right in the heart of old town. Close to all the top restaurants. Great breakfast - staff even made us a to go bag when we had an early start for Samariá gorge. Excellent service and friendly staff. "

"Character property, excellent location and very walkable. "
A verified traveler stayed at Palazzo Vecchio Exclusive Residence
"Fantastic holiday, wonderful cocktails, lovely sunsets, delicious food and everything was included in the all inclusive package (cocktails, fine dining restaurant, Asian restaurant, Italian, agreco farm dine out option which we unfortunately didn’t have time for, crepes and waffles, ice creams). Nice and quiet, calm, relaxing holiday. Staff very friendly and helpful too! Make sure to book restaurants on the app before you arrive (or WhatsApp the concierge was a unique perk) , and unfortunately we went out of peak season so no white parties etc but the bar was still lively and nice music every evening "

A verified traveler from Newcastle stayed at Hotel Kalyves Beach
"Beautiful hotel located midway between Heraklion and Chania. Loved the beach and restaurant. Our room was amazing with our own pool and fireplace in our private outdoor area. Staff couldn't have been nicer. Loved Rethymno's old town which was a short cab drive away. Would highly recommend this hotel."
A verified traveler from MELVILLE stayed at CARAMEL Grecotel Boutique Resort
"We had a wonderful stay at Marine Palace, it was easily accessible and we had a 5 month old plus pram in tow, pool selection was great and the food was excellent, lovely choice and highlight was the BBQ by the Sea! Staff were all very helpful and bonus of a WhatsApp number to message if had any problems, the rooms and all outside areas were kept to a very high standard of cleanliness, very impressed.
The village of Panormos was only a 7-8 minute walk away, very small but lovely village with bars, restaurants and a few gift shops.
Would definitely return!!!"
