There are many excellent reviews of the hotel and the town here and on the whole I agree with most of them. I therefore propose to concentrate on other points. We spent a fortnight in Room 306 overlooking the pool at the end of August. Front of the hotel has lovely sea views but not much sun on the balconies.... More

After booking this hotel for a special treat I was slightly dissapointed. Unfortunately the flights were at silly o`clock and we arrived in the early hours. Our room was in the annex next door on the ground floor. The first impression was that although we had a garden the room wasnt very spacious. In the room was a kitchen area... More

for us that we travel usually in cozy small hotels/ rooms around Greece and abroad, this "standard" hotel, wasn't fitting to our style. So my review is very subjective and coming through that. cons: Simple, standard and a wannabe 4* hotel (general problem with "stars" in Greece). pros: Simple, standard, on very central location.

We came for a friend's wedding in Crete and were suggested to stay in this hotel with other guests. Couple of points were disappointing, though: 1) bathroom - shower water pressure too weak and constant water temperature jumps 2) the pool and the area around were quite dirty 3) breakfast was seriously poor, with clearly cheapest (and poor quality) ingredients...

The location is perfect - was the main reason for choosing the hotel in the first place - just around the corner of the old city centre without having the masses of tourists just outside. We had a room with seaview and view... More

just back from our 6th year in the Ideon and it is like visiting the family - same friendly & excellent staff. The service is of the highest quality - bearing in mind that thisis a 3star hotel. Still finding the odd gem hidden away in the old town - this year Akiri. Good food at a reasonable price. Of... More

this is a great hotel, in the centre of Rethymno - right in the heart of town. The rooms are small, clean and just what you need if you enjoy being in the heart of the centre of town. The staff are amazing, the breakfast is ok - nothing special. The bar area/reception area is lovely. More

The staff are very friendly and approachable, couldn't do enough for you. Room 309 looking over the pool, town roofs and mountains which was a nice view day and evening. Rooms pleasant, air con good. Free fridge. 15 euros for 10 nights for safe hire + 5 euros deposit which you get back when you hand in key. Hairdryer in... More
