Jóhanna Iceland

The location is very good. In just a few steps you are on the beach. A lot of markets & restaurants are in the area. To the Venetian Old Port you have to walk around 10 min. The breakfast was ok. The staff was great. The room was ok (except the bathroom). The pool is ok. Small but ok.

One of our top picks in Rethymno. Just steps away from the seafront, in the centre of Rethymnon, this modern hotel offers easy access to the entrance of the old town with its narrow streets, medieval castle and picturesque Venetian port.

The well-appointed rooms are all air conditioned , featuring views of the city or the private garden of the hotel.

Offering authentic Cretan hospitality combined with 4-star comforts, the hotel features 72 spacious rooms with balconies overlooking the sea or the lush interior garden.

Achillion Palace also has a small courtyard garden with a fountain where guests can enjoy light refreshments throughout the day, as well as a breakfast room, cafe bar and lounge.

The hotel also benefits from a rooftop freshwater swimming pool and sun deck, which is open during daylight hours.

The long sandy beach is within easy walking distance (350 feet), as are the numerous restaurants, shops and bars, for which the town is known.

This is our guests' favorite part of Rethymno, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.
