Top Old Town Hotel Reviews

Palazzino Di Corina

10/10 Excellent

"Booked this place as an emergency stop as my partner was extremely ill and couldn’t travel. The proprietor was so helpful and kind letting us into the room as early as possible. He also had great knowledge of the town and the best parking spots. The place itself is lovely and in a great location, with the little pool in the courtyard it feels like an oasis in the middle of the old town."

Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"This home is 5 star and will not disappoint. We had two rooms with hot tub. We also had breakfast buffet daily. We went to the spa twice and highly recommend using spa services. We did not eat dinner in the hotel b/c there are so many good options seaside or in the old town. Overall staff were exceptionally friendly, and the location of the hotel is amazing. It was easy to get sun chairs...and the beach access if very close (short walk 1-2 min). The hotel has many small restaurants nearby, if we want to stay local. The old town is a 30 min walk, but you can either walk on the beach to get there or past numerous restaurants and shops. It's a fun walk. If you want to take taxi, it is easy to get taxi and fee will be 8E. We had such a fun time and will come back next year. Cannot say anything negative about this property."

Rimondi Boutique Hotels-Small Luxury Hotels of the World

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the best hotels stays. Everything was wonderful! Breakfast was always delicious. Fresh fruit and Cappuccino every morning. Our room was beautiful and generously sized. My husband and I had plenty of space to unpack for the week. The staff is A+++. Every person we came in contact with was wonderful! I highly recommend this hotel to anyone. It is in the perfect location. You can walk to just about any where. We rented a car and had no trouble finding parking. I am back to work so We can come back for a vacation again soon. Thank you!"

Iberostar Waves Creta Panorama & Mare

10/10 Excellent

"You cannot fault this hotel. The rooms were bright,spacious and the beds were oh so comfortable. There was a wide and varied choice of food. But I think what stands out the most was the exceptional staff. Their customer service was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. They were flexible and helpful. I would especially like to mention both Lisa Smith in guest services and Despina who was serving in the water park bar. Both went out of their way to be kind, helpful and extremely friendly. I would also like to mention the new water park. The variety of slides appeals to all ages and the splash pad is excellent for smaller guests. Overall we had a fantastic stay."

Grecotel Marine Palace & Aqua Park

10/10 Excellent

"Well thought out for families, still allowing sufficient space for privacy/quiet time for a couple with only child. Lots of activities and areas for our child to make friends. Excellent food, all the staff (particularly the unsung service heroes) were superb. A wonderful experience. Book any restaurant meals as early as possible!"
