4.5 star ratingI thought this was an excellent hotel, and a very good value. (We did have an extremely good deal, in part because we booked for one week and also it was for early in the tourist season.) The recently refurbished twin room we had was clean, very large for Europe (more like a US-style room), with kitchenette area and full bathtub. After dancing about in Greece's more-typical tiny square shower areas, this was a treat. The hotel is on a main road into the nearby town, with plenty of markets and restaurants on the same street (including right across the street), plus cash machines, a bakery, car rentals, tour booking offices and a bus stop for buses into the main town and elsewhere. The stroll to the beach is simple and quick, down a small side street just down from the hotel. My only concern was that on our first night there, the hotel's bar was hopping with a music show past midnight and we could hear the music in our room despite good-quality windows and shutters. Happily, it was quiet the rest of our stay. The location is a fairly bustling spot, though, so some mild street noise and sometimes noise from the bar next door are to be expected. I'd recommend the hotel definitely. I'd say don't bother getting the breakfast with the booking if you can avoid it, however. With the kitchen in the room you can easily do your own more cheaply and eat exactly what you want. We did book the breakfast option, but it was pretty standard, just boiled eggs and bread with ham and cheese, or bread, with corn flakes and yogurt. My coffee drinking friend was not too keen on the coffee. The tea was fine. The breakfast may be more extensive during the normal tourist season (we were there early/mid-May) but it is not the buffet-style you sometimes get, where you can eat all you want. So, you may as well do your own breakfasts, and if you are feeling too lazy some mornings, just pay for breakfast that day only. Or, go to a nearby restaurant, many of which serve cheap breakfasts, some serving it past the hotel's cutoff time of 10 a.m. Really appreciated the staff here -- very helpful, friendly and professional. Nice lobby and also a small lounge with books from former guests plus free access to a computer and internet. Very clean, polished place and such great value. Didn't use the pool ourselves but pool area was also very attractive. Not all rooms look out the pool area. Some look out a small side street that runs between the Axos and another hotel/bar. Upstairs rooms will feel more private for the balcony. Ground floor the balcony is right at pool level/street level. There's a hedge for the rooms on the side street, and it is not used much. However you'll still feel more private if you have the upper floor. Also, if the pool gets a lot of use during the day and you like a midday nap or anything, you'll probably prefer one of the rooms that don't open on the pool area, no matter what floor. Good staff, good place, good value. Would happily stay here again if in this area. Was actually nice to not be right in Rethimnon, in a . And very nice to have a good beach nearby that wasn't nearly as crowded as the ones right in town. Would feel perfectly safe at this hotel as single female traveler (we were two women, but both agreed this would have been fine for us had we been travelng alone).London travelers18 May 2009
