    Wonderful Hotel

    rating25 Apr 2026

    Excellent hotel certainly worth more than 3*. the rooms were clean & comfortable & the staff very helpful & knowledgeable about the local area. The breakfast offered plenty of variety & staff were helpful without being intrusive. A very good position for the old town & the Venetian Harbour. Would certainly recommend this hotel & would definitely book again. Michael & Vina Tansley UK

    Good location

    rating22 Apr 2026

    Hotel is in excellent location. We had a room with a sea view good views but got a little traffic noise (not that noticeably ). Room was a little small but bathroom was excellent. Breakfast, not a big choice but OK. Staff pleasant enough When we checked in the man on reception was a bit miserable but we cant be happy all the time.

    Great location and value for money

    rating20 Oct 2025

    Just back home after a week of staying here. First time in Crete and therefore Rethymno. The hotel was lovely and in an excellent location for the old town,port, fortezza and around 10 minutes walk to the beach. There are literally 100s of places to eat and drink close-by. To Pigadi, Evanoiea, Helona, Platia, Elofiri to name a few and the food was absolutely delicious 😋, we noticed the restaurants around the harbour charge higher prices and the food no better quality , so chose to eat more on the narrow streets of the old town and at the restaurants opposite the hotel on the seafront. The atmosphere in Rethymno was fantastic at night, busy and noisy but in a good way, not with people being drunk and disorderly. Walking around there were many tourists but also many students and locals and there was a 6 a side Socca Champions league taking place so lots of groups of players and families. The staff service at the hotel was very good especially from Costas who was very friendly and helpful! There were also two other male bar staff who were excellent but didn't get their names unfortunately. However there were two female staff who were rude and unfriendly, one young woman during breakfast service and one older woman working on the bar. And there was an older chap working breakfast service who was miserable. Cleaning staff friendly and efficient. I would definitely stay at this hotel again but could easily be tempted to book one of the numerous boutique rooms available all around the old town purely because of the number of eateries available in the vicinity. Must mention the Bakeries and pastries abundant and mouthwatering! Rethymno was a joy to visit and will definitely return.

    A delightful week

    rating18 Oct 2025

    My friends and myself first stayed here in 2011. The hotel was nothing special, from what I recall, but was clean and well run and we had a very pleasant week's stay.Situated on the edge of the old town, it was the in perfect location for us, not liking noisy venues.We made a return visit this September after seeing that the hotel had been refurbished.What a change! It's rated 3☆, but the rooms now are fabulous and would do credit to a 4 or 5☆ hotel.There is a small pool but no other facilities, which I assume accounts for the star rating ( no spa or gym, for example).The restaurant area was clean with the usual selection that you'd expect.The staff were friendly and helpful.On our arrival we mentioned that we'd previously stayed with them. On returning to the room that evening we found a gift box with some pastries, dried figs and a small bottle of Lyraki, which is the local raki (tsikoudia) mixed with honey. On departure we also received a cotton "Hotel Ideon" shopping bag together with a small tin of local olive oil. It's touches like these that make a stay memorable.We plan to return.

    Excellent in all aspects especially the staff

    rating30 Sept 2025

    This hotel was far better than expected for the cost. It is in an excellent location and very modern. From the moment we walked into reception, every member of staff we encountered was so friendly and are definitely a credit to the hotel.We were shown to our 'smart room' which was the most modern we had stayed in in all our month of island hopping. The breakfast was also the best, lovely clean restaurant, and the only place we found a food selection of hot items on the breakfast buffet. Certainly exceeded our expectations and could not be faulted, would most definitely stay again.
