Nice stay
When I arrived, no one was at the reception; the person on duty had run an errand, so I had to call. Was given a room overlooking the sea, which was very nice. However, during the high tourist season, I would opt for a room in the back, as the rooms facing the sea are above a restaurant on restaurant row, and facing a busy street, where loud noise goes on all night. There was loud noise during my stay, but it died down around midnight. The hotel isn’t on the ground floor, no lobby, so expect to climb stairs, and the entrance can be a bit deceiving. The mattress in my room was a bit too soft for me, but overall enjoyed my stay.

The room we stayed was building not far from the main Sea Front Old Town Hotel, in a very quiet road. We particularly enjoyed the proximity to the city centre as well as the quiet of being tucked away on a secondary lane. The room included all the amenities reported in the ads (e.g. A/C, minifridge, toiletries...) as was perfect for a short stay. The two hosts were very welcoming and gave us terrific tips on bakeries / restaurant to go. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

An amazing place to experience in Rethymno
Spent a week in this hotel. Very convenient location. Service are amazing. This family run place are very clean and welcoming. Room service was outstanding. To be honest, I feel home while staying there. Both brothers ( the owner) are so helpful. Anything you need they will sort it out with a big smile. I lost the room keys and they gave me a replacement straightaway. Their friendliness and warm hospitality can’t be forgotten! In my next visit I will definitely go to this place. I recommend anyone without any hesitation you can book this place, I had a great experience ever staying in a hotel abroad. I also thanks to Seafront owner for their heartfelt hospitality in Rethymno. All the best Mizan, Edinburgh

Great location and customer service
These apartments are perfectly located for the old town and the beach. It's not a hotel with catering facilities and pool so if that's what you're looking for this is not for you. However, what they do provide is an ideally located and comfortable place to stay and for us, the opportunity to discover all the great places to eat out in the old town. They did also provide us with some plates and cutlery to enjoy preparing our own snacks to occasionally eat on our terrace which suited us for breakfast time. You could not meet more helpful and attentive owners who do genuinely care about your stay.The rooms are tastefully presented in a beautiful old venetian building and kept spotlessly clean. Unlike some apartments, things like a kettle, tea and coffee, water, hairdryer, safe and air con were all provided free of charge. The area was pleasantly busy but there was no intrusive noise in the rooms and all was quiet through the night. The bed was comfy and we slept very well. We would not hesitate to recommend it.

Great hotel for the price
Pros: Great location right in the Old City. Close to shopping, nightlife, and the water. Excellent price. Friendly owner, who is helpful and available. Cons: This is economy lodging. Don't expect luxury for the price you're paying. The steps above the 2nd level are pretty steep. This could be difficult for an older traveler. Getting up to the 2nd floor wasn't bad though. Overall, I was happy with my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to any traveler on a budget who wants a great location in the old city.

Read the fine print.
I arrived late in the night and was ushered to another room on another street away from the seafront hotel facing other units and walls. This was not what was portrayed in the photos. Next morning I complained and said that this was not what I booked they told me I had not read the terms and conditions carefully. I asked why? I was told that I had asked for a double bed and there were none at this hotel. I said I would take a single then. Why advertise when you can't fulfil? They then moved me to a seafront room with views of the ocean and I was happier. My room didn't have a shower and toilet but I did have my own private bathroom along the corridor. All I can say is read the fine print and make sure you know what you are getting before you go. This hotel was close to everything. Shops, restaurants and beaches all within walking distance. Great location. Room was serviced daily and was very clean.

Pleasant Rooms in Excellent Location
This small pension-hotel is run by twin brothers. They are very genuine and friendly, and went out of their way to make our one-night stay incredibly pleasant. Don't expect any luxury, but the bathroom was newly renovated, and the rooms are pleasant and comfortable--and a skip and a hop to the beach-port-old town. Highly recommended!
