Top Old Town Hotel Reviews

Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay at the resort! The pool and beach were both amazing, very comfortable sunbeds and very clean. Service was slightly lacking at the pool and restaurant and the prices for drinks by the pool were quite high. The buffet dinner was excellent, and the breakfast was good as well. The room was lovely and very clean. Overall, we would recommend as a resort but we would choose to stay closer to Old Town on our next visit."

The Royal Senses Resort & Spa Crete, Curio Collection Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Staff extremely accommodating for my daughters very restricted diet, sourced products not usually found in the island. Second stay here, staff were excellent, all very friendly and polite. Buffett was extensive and changed every night. Rooms were great all sea facing. I preferred room on a higher floor. Would be nice to have an atm in site but there is one across the road at their sister hotel where the beach is. Hope to be back again!"

Iberostar Waves Creta Panorama & Mare

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our stay, my kids loved it. The hotel is lovely and has the most beautiful sunset form our sea view bunglalow and the bar area. The food was great, the all inclusive options were fantasitc and such great value. The cleanliness of the rooms and everywhere was impeccable. Thank you! We will deifnitely be back"

Barbara Studios

8/10 Good

"The location is amazing, a few minutes walking distance from the harbor, tons of restaurants nearby. My room is spacious and clean. The air conditioner works well. The only thing I would remind is that if you carry heavy luggage you should think about twice before your booking. You need to climb a steep stairs(more than 10 steps) before you arrive at your room, and you should not expect to get any help even there is some staff on site."

Grecotel Marine Palace & Aqua Park

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent food from all of the restaurants, snack bars and even the buffet. Good range of pools without any major issue finding sun loungers. Beach is sandy and can easily swim in the sea safely. Water park is great to have as another option. Hotel is big on sustainability so have to refill your own water bottles each day, but easy enough to do. We occasionally needed to request the room to be cleaned via the app as not always done daily, however each time we requested it to be cleaned it was done within the hour."

Spartacus Garden Boutique Suites

10/10 Excellent

"As a solo traveller, great location to base yourself in the quieter part of Old Town. Host, Sparta was super responsive and very helpful with great suggestions of where to eat and things to do. Nori was so welcoming and made check-in smooth and easy. The room was lovely, chill decor and the court-yard was very relaxing, making it easy to forget you’re just a stone throw away from the hustle and bustle of the Old Town. Lovely neighbourhood with friendly locals. It was a pleasure to be one of the first guests to stay at the newly opened Spartacus Garden Boutique Hotel. I’d happily recommend and would stay there again."
