Lock in a great price for Achillion Palace – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Good breakfast, location very good and swimming pool on the roof top fantastic

Geraldine, Ireland

The manager and his staff made us very welcome. Excellent location in a quiet side street. The hotel is close to the beach in one direction and near loads of bars and tavernas in the old town in the other direction. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable, maid service excellent. The roof pool bar has great views over the harbour. Breakfast was excellent. Good wifi. Great value. Highly recommended.

One of our top picks in Rethymno Town.

This property is a 4-minute walk from the beach. 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 Town, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.7 for a two-person trip.

“Nice hotel, very friendly staff and perfect base for holiday.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 7 nights
눉The pool/bar area is not very big but some guests head to the pool at 7.30am and put their towels on sun loungers. There were not enough sun loungers (we think 20) for the 72 bedrooms. Some towels were there most of the day, without the anyone on them. It is so unfair, we witnessed this every day. This practice should be stopped.
눇The location was very good. Near to the beachfront and the Old Town. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Reception staff (and most of hotel staff) spoke very good English. Cleanliness of our room/bathroom was excellent.

“Great hotel staff, location and price!”
- • Family with young children
- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉- The hotel is old and badly in need of maintenance. The first room we had had fungus on the bathroom walls and the drain was rusty. This is not acceptable for a four star hotel. The decor is also old and faded. The room was quite small as well.
눇- The staff made the difference at this hotel! Manilos at reception and the Manager of the hotel were world class in customer service and made us feel very welcome. I was not pleased with the quality of our room and we were upgraded to the suite which is very modern and spacious. - The location is fantastic, steps away from the beach, cafes and shops. - The price is very low and includes a quite good breakfast. There is also a little garden with tables where you can enjoy the weather whilst breakfasting.
