  Beautiful Place to Stay

  29 Jul 2025

  We booked this last minute due to us travelling around the island on a motor bike. Helen’s was a wonderful host. She re arranged things to give us the room we requested. We would 100% recommend staying here.

  The fabulous Leo Hotel

  16 Oct 2023

  We recently enjoyed a fabulous 5 night stay at the Leo Hotel and we absolutely loved it. What a fabulous location, right in the heart of the old town of Rethymno. It's so lovely to be able to step out of the door and straight into the little streets and alleyways of this beautiful old town, with plenty of lovely restaurants, bars and shops to choose from. In spite of being so central, it was quiet in the hotel and we slept very well. The hotel itself is a former Venetian residence and it far exceeded our expectations. Our room was large and beautiful, beds were comfortable and all was kept spotlessly clean. Breakfast can be purchased whenever you want it, it is good value, very tasty and plentiful! We had hired a car and we always managed to find a free parking space around the fortress which is just 5 mins walk away. Best of all is the warm welcome you will receive from Eleni and Richard and team. They are just fantastic. Eleni gave us tips for the best beaches and places to visit. She even helped me in my quest to learn Greek!! What a fantastic stay, get it booked, you won't regret it! Thanks so much. Don't forget to come and visit us in Devon one day. Love Louise and Ben xx

  10 Aug 2023

  Stop in the Leo Cafe, part of Leo hotel.Had a small lunch, toasted sandwich and a baguette.Baguette toasted: aka burnt: nasty processed ham inside.Coffee au lait made with UHT milk (unpleasant)Then over charged! Eleni Chris, Owner at Leo Hotel, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, since we use your feedback to constantly upragde our services. However, this forum is solely dedicated to our hotel as an accomodation service which is what Leo is primaly used as. Thus, the cafe is a seperate business and we kindly ask you to remove your review due to its unrelativeness to Leo hotel.

  Great Location - Uncomfortable Bathroom

  23 Jul 2023

  The location and price of the hotel, right in Old Town, was great. The hotel itself was comfortable and quiet and the owner seemed like she would accommodate us the best she could. What was unfortunate was the bathroom - the door didn't ever really close. It was a swinging, glass door with a frosted appearance. There was a gap between the door and the wall so, in addition to it being frosted, it didn't lend for much privacy. My husband and I were traveling with a friend so this made bathroom time a little uncomfortable, especially because the hotel room itself was not large.

  Still marvelous on return visit 14 years later

  31 Jul 2022

  Return visit: just as exceptional as 14 years before. Boutique, charming hotel, elegant, spacious, romantic bedrooms with lovely, high quality, roomy bathrooms in the heart of old Rethymno near the harbor and the fort. Ekeni is a marvelous host: kind, caring, efficient. The breakfast is fabulous: either sit inside or outside at the little tables. Highly recommend this hotel for its elegant charm, friendly reception, and calm oasis in the heart of the bustling city.
