Excellent buffet breakfast, big variety, with small outdoor section. Very clean room and seaview as requested on upper floor. Very short walk to beautiful, cultural old town. One desk clerk very helpful, informative, and willing to chat about various matters. Charming lobby, old style. Mini market, bakery steps away. Walk to beach short. Wide and sandy with umbrellas and chairs for a fee. Good buy for money as we got an advertised lower rate. Found street parking, no need to pay for lot. On arrival, abrupt desk clerk, not welcoming. Pictures of exterior and room make hotel look more attractive than reality. Street seedy. Balcony overlooked apartments across the street with their balconies featuring everything from baby's beds to storage items, but view of sea over topof buildings was requested and appreciated. Dark interior of hotel, quite uncomfortable beds, non conducive room to romance. Beware in summer, north coast beach with high waves...can't swim but had great fun jumping waves, trying to keep balance.If we visit Rethymnon again, wife would not stay same hotel.

Very helpful staff and nice inside garden. There were no ramps for baby-prams/wheel-chairs and the elevator was quite old-ish. Nevertheless, these were not prohibiting reasons for us to enjoy our stay at the Achillion Palace.

The location and my room. The gentleman in reception when I checked out he was very polite and friendly. I had an unfriendly welcome, no hot water on the breakfast bar to make my tea.

Very warm welcome. Very good english speakers. Very clean hotel with small but lovely garden. No tea coffee or bottled water in the room. Breakfast was very basic can I suggest pastries and frute (other than apples) would be a good addition.

The best about the hotel is its location and the very friendly staff. The breakfast was poor and the swimming pool could have been larger and more shallow for small children.

The desk staff people were all extremely friendly, gentle, and polite. The hotel felt extremely safe. The wide, white marble stairs look out over the garden courtyard and make the walk to your room very pleasant. You can also use the small lift if you prefer. The breakfast here is wonderful-- suitable for travelers from many cultures. There were hot egg/omelette type things, bacon, ham, and cheese, rolls and fresh loaves of bread, regular sliced bread, cereal, many types of jams, butter, and chocolate spread, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, juice, cold water in pitchers, and sweet pastries as well. You could eat indoors overlooking the courtyard, or in the shady courtyard itself. The rooftop pool is pretty and serene, with incredible views of the harbor and the city. The rooms are pleasant, comfortable, and very clean. Ours had a balcony overlooking the harbor with table and chairs and a handy, discreet clothes drying area. Much attention to detail in this hotel. In my experience, it's difficult to find a reasonably priced hotel on Crete that is still nice and does not sacrifice comfort or pleasure. Heraklion fits the bill perfectly.

Hotellet har en utmerket beliggenhet nær både by og strand. Fin hage til å innta frokost I. Veldig god frokost. Både basseng og bar på toppen med fin utsikt over havn, strand og by. Hyggelig, snill og tjenestevillig betjening. Gode senger. Altan til alle rom. Godt lys både på rom og altan. Hotellet holdes I fin og oppusset stand, hvitt og fint. Du blir behandlet på en måte som gjør at du føler deg hjemme der. Jeg kan ikke fullrose hotellet nok De kan godt sette inn flere typer glass enn tannglassene. En vannkoker på rommet kunne også vært hyggelig.

Respect de l'observation lors de la résevation , à savoir chambre à un étage élevé permettant d'avoir une terrasse avec vue sur le port et la mer . Par ailleurs je ne sais pas si c'est que nous séjournions pour la deuxième fois dans cet hôtel , mais le 2eme jour nous avions une bouteille de vin en guise de bienvenue sur la table de la chambre avec une carte de visite de la Direction après un cocktail de bienvenue la veille . Geste commercial et de reconnaissance appréciable . Petit déjeuner toujours aussi copieux , servi sous forme de buffet , mais seulement une personne de service chaque matin pour s'occuper de réapprovisionner le buffet et desservir les tables . De ce fait les clients (très disciplinés) débarrassaient eux-mêmes leur table lorsque qu'ils avaient terminé !! Les tables restaient donc en l'état , c'est à dire non nettoyées et avec une nappe non remplacée et parfois tâchée suivant la propreté du précédent client . Etonnant pour un hôtel 4* !!!

La colazione continentale a buffet è senz'altro abbondante e buona, abbiamo gradito le cartine della città e la spremuta di benvenuto, al piano superiore è presente una bella piscina con vista panoramica sulla città ma rispetto ad un 4 stelle gli standard erano bassi. La porta del terrazzo era rotta, ci hanno assicurato che sarebbe stata riparata ma questo non è mai successo!! Inoltre la stanza era parallela all'ascensore, al mattino ci si svegliava alle 7 con il rumore....Per quanto concerne le amenities, sono state messe solo per una persona e solo la prima notte...solo 1 mini shampo e1 mini bagnoschiuma, parliamo di un 4 stelle...

J'ai choisi cet hotel en remplacement d'une autre réservation qui a été annulée par vos services. Cet hotel indiquait avoir un parking, ce qui était une priorité pour moi, mais le parking était inexistant, il fallait trouver une place dans la rue a proximité du centre ville et du bord de mer...autant dire une galère.
