Bien dans l'ensemble

Le séjour s'est très bien passé l'hôtel est très bien situé à environ 20minutes à pieds du centre historique. Le personnel de l'hôtel et du restaurant attenant est très sympa et à l'écoute. Les chambres sont très correctes, le ménage est bien fait. Un problème de réception de télé, heureusement bonne wifi. Par contre ne pas espérer profiter de la vue mer fenêtre ouverte car rue hyper bruyante(on s'y fait). Le petit déjeuner très correct(petit bémol les œufs et omelettes pourraient être tenus au chaud). Par contre en Crète anglais impératif.

Amazing!

Excellent! From the comfort of the bed to the cleanliness of the room, everything was spot on. The location of the hotel was a little bit confusing, mainly because the main entrance is inside the hotel’s restaurant. The food was great and the breakfast was even better. Overall we definitely recommend this place!

Very Nice Hotel! Good location near the center

Clean and Comfortable

Overall the stay was great. The only negative is that it's a bit hard to find. The sign for the apartment isn't that big and somewhat hard to see. My advise is look for the Agrilia Restaurant because it is set within the restaurant. The owner and employees are great. At first I thought we had a beach view with balcony, we didn't. I'm glad now we had a room facing the courtyard because the strand on the beach can be very noisy. Parking can be a challenge in the area. Great location in old town Rythymno

Clean and quiet

Needed a place to stay in a pinch. Room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Small like most rooms in Greece. The included breakfast was hearty and delicious. If I’m ever in Rethymno again, I would stay here for a night or two.

Hotel og Restaurant i særklasse 👌

Alt omkring dette hotel er Fantastisk på nær stranden denne er en sandstrand, men man skal passere en 3-4 m stenpassage for at nå ud hvor vandet er ca 1 m dyb. Men strand servicen er der ikke noget at klage på denne fungere med rigtig god service som resten af stedet. Alt dette er familie drevet med meget højt service niveau. Beliggenheden er ligeledes rigtig godt tæt på stranden og den gl by. Vi fik et af de nyrenoverede hotelværelser, lækkert med nyt badeværelse og havudsigt.

Bienvenue chez les Thénardier.

Nous avons choisi cet hôtel au dernier moment. 3 nuits dans climatisation malgré deux signalements dès notre arrivée. Hôtel tenu par une famille opportuniste. Ne surtout pas manger au restaurant du rdc qui leur appartient. On se moque du monde. Seul aspect positif: jus d'orange pressé frais au petit déjeuner.

Super koselige verter, nydelig frokost.

Supre verter, veldig blide og hjelpsomme. Flott frokost, så mye bedre enn vanlig continental frokost. Rommet trengte definitivt oppussing, muggsopp i dusj. Ellers ramlet håndduksoppheng ned osv. Harde senger og renholdet kunne vært bedre. Fikk ikke skiftet på sengen under hele oppholdet.

Trevlig semester på rent och fräscht hotell...

Vi hade bokat ett rum med havsutsikt men fick ett rum mot baksidan med utsikt mot bara hus (i beskrivning står det: utsikt mot bergen - men man ser inga berg). Tyvärr hade det blivit en dubbelbokning via de bokningssidor som hotellet använder, så de kunde inget göra åt det. Vi fick däremot veta att vi ev kunde få byta rum efter 10 dagar - och få ett rum med havsutsikt. Som kompensation fick vi gratis solstolar på stranden och 10 Euro/dag att äta för i hotellets restaurang. Mycket bra gjort tycker jag :-). Rummen med havsutsikt har ingen sol på hela dagen (man kan se solnedgången) - väldigt skönt jämfört med rummet på baksidan, där solen ligger på hela dagen (tur det fanns AC). Hotellet var rent och fräscht. Frukosten väldigt bra - med allt från ägg & stekt skinka (ej bacon), stekta korvar, kokta ägg, olika brödsorter av mörkt och ljust bröd, olika sorters pålägg, kaffe, the, färskpressad apelsinjuice, frukt, yoghurt och olika flingor, honung mm. Hotell ligger bra till i förhållande till stranden - behöver bara passera en trafikerad gata. Nära in till Rethymnons centrum och gamla stan - tog ca 15 min att promenera in till g:a stan. Personalen jättetrevlig. Familjeägt hotell med Costas och hans syster Niki som fanns där i princip hela dagarna - de var väldigt serviceminded :-).

Hotell midt på skalaen

Fin utsikt mot sjøen med balkong. Ok rom. Ryddig der. Hyggelig betjening. Det som trakk litt ned var dusjen. Veggen (med fliser) trengte vedlikehold. Hotellet har ikke parkering / avtale. WiFi vat ok. Prisen (1400 NOK for 2 døgn) ble derfor i drøyeste laget selv om beliggenheten var prima.
