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 8.9 for a two-person trip.

We speak your language!

Achillion Palace has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Dec 7, 2009

“Better 3 than 4 stars old hotel.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
The hotel needs some investments if it wants to be considered as a 4 stars hotel. The room furniture and specially bathroom are a bit old. We had problems the first evening because the hot water was not working and we had a cold shower. They solved the problem in a couple of hours. The breakfast could be better, not natural juice, soluble instead of natural cofee, and limited choices.
The location is not bad, between the beach and the city center, you can go walking to both places. There is a nice swimming pool on the terrace.

Pool towels were not available before 11am and had to be returned at the end of the day. The pool bar didn’t open until 11am and the selection of food was limited.
Lovely pool with good rooftop views and super comfortable sun beds and a garden where we had breakfast. Comfortable wide bed in our room. Great location for the town.
