Archipelagos Hotel

Very friendly and welcoming staff, special thanks to the young lady at the reception and the bartender who went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. Modern and well-equipped rooms. Beautiful view of the sea, the fortress and the coastline. A small beach is right in front of the hotel, perfect for a quick swim. The pool terrace with sun loungers and a bar adds to the relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was excellent — fresh, tasty, with local products, a nice mix of continental options and Greek specialties with plenty of vegetables, fruits and treats. A nice personal touch at the end: the hotel owner came to say goodbye. Highly recommended!

I loved the hotel itself- so clean and beautiful. The location was PERFECT! The most adorable beach just right across the road and an easy walking distance to the old town and restaurants. The food available from the pool bar was amazing and the service by Andreas was so perfect. And the staff were all SO GREAT! We were so warmly welcomed by Mr. Stelios who took such care with our check in’s We had a lot of fun just hanging out by the pool, enjoying the views or walking into old town. There is also a 24 hour convenience store just across from the hotel which was great.

The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to the old town (10 minutes). Many restaurants and shops in the surrounding. Room is clean, spacious, breathtaking view from the balcony over the sea and the old town. Very good and large bathroom. The room, the bathroom are both modern and comfortable, also the bed. Breakfast is delicious. There is lot of free parking near the hotel which is an added value if you want to rent a car. In front of the hotel, crossing the road, there is a cozy sand beach, crystal clear water, with a small bay where family can swim safely. We love it so much. Not to forget the friendly team in the hotel. Even the owner of the hotel (Mr.Stelios) was available and provided us with needed assistance and tips which made our stay superb. Definitely we will come again especially after finding out how beautiful Rethymno is.

Exceptionally friendly, helpful and knowledgeable host and staff. It was great to be welcomed to the hotel and found out great information about places to explore in neighborhood and region The breakfast was good and balconies and porches added good value

There was a beautiful view of the pool and sea from our 9th floor room balcony. The pool was large, clean, and very nice. There was a pool bar and food available. There were loungers on the pool deck overlooking the sea and city. The manager was very friendly and helpful showing us to our room, where the best restaurants were located, and places to drive to with excellent beaches. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was provided by the hotel. The hotel is located about a 20 minute walk from the old town center. This area is flat and easily walkable. If you choose to walk along the seawall it is a more scenic walk. A city bus also runs into town. There are many shops, restaurants, and bars. The beach in town near the strip of bars was not worth spending time on in my opinion. This hotel had a small, rocky beach across the street that was not crowded. The hotel provides you with beach towels. The beach is good for a swim in the sea, but not for lingering for hours. At this time of year, we were able to find free parking near the hotel, but in very busy times I imagine this could be a challenge later in the summer. We did not meet ANY Americans at the hotel. The hotel was surprised we chose to stay there. I encourage my fellow Americans to check this place out. The staff speaks English and there is no problem staying in this area.
