Rethymno Hotels with Pools

This is an excellent hotel located right in the old town of Rethymno. It was easy to explore the charming streets on foot, and the central bus station—perfect for day trips—was just a 10-minute walk away. The staff were incredibly friendly and eager to share local tips and recommendations, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast offered a classic continental selection, including fresh eggs, sausages, bread, pastries, and fruits. Everything was fresh and satisfying. While the swimming pool is on the smaller side, it was a lovely bonus and a great spot to cool off after a day of sightseeing. I would happily stay here again on my next visit to Rethymno.

This hotel was amazing. One of my top 3 favorites in Crete. I highly recommend staying here. I only wish I stayed two nights here. Definitely worth it. Breakfast read included and an amazing selection. They even gave me a little gift when checking out. I would remove this to anyone coming to Crete.

Great location, nice rooms (we were treated to a free upgrade). Nice breakfast with fresh orange juice served in the courtyard. No parking in immediate vicinity, but you can usually find a free spot close to the sea. Quality of tea served on the premises could be improved, same for toiletries.

Absolutely recommended! Archipelagos is a wonderful hotel with a great location and a beautiful sea view. Everything was very clean, the breakfast was very good, and the overall atmosphere was lovely. At the beginning, we had a few small issues with the room, but we spoke with the reception and they quickly helped us by changing the room. We really appreciated their support and professionalism. We highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely come back. The view over the sea is truly amazing!

We stayed at May Hotel for two nights before flying back to Germany, and overall we had a pleasant stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we really appreciated being allowed to check in early. We booked the half-board option, and both the breakfast and dinner were good. Breakfast offered a nice variety of choices, and dinner was tasty with enough selection. The room was clean, and the beds were very comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep. The hotel also has a gym with enough equipment for a basic workout, which was a nice bonus during our stay. The hotel itself is comfortable, although the rooms and facilities feel a bit outdated and could benefit from some renovation. The location is also not the most convenient, as there is no direct beach access—you’ll need to walk a few minutes to reach the beach. Overall, it’s a good value for money with excellent service, comfortable rooms, decent food, and useful amenities. With some modernization and a more convenient beach location, it would easily be an even better stay.

A wonderful place to stay. My friend and I actually regretted not staying here for more than one night. The beach is just across the road, and we enjoyed swimming at night and early in the morning. It’s quite difficult to find parking, but we were very lucky to find a spot right in front of the hotel. The only downside is that the hotel is located right next to a beach bar that stays open until 3 a.m. The music was quite loud and could be heard clearly from the hotel. Also, when we went out onto the balcony, we could be seen by the bar’s guests sitting at the tables. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Thank you for everything — we had a wonderful stay!

Le personnel est accueillant et disponible. L’électricité dans la chambre a une certaine instabilité. Le personnel est très réactif. Le petit déjeuner est très correct. L’hôtel est agréable. Le parking est très proche et pratique. La chambre est correcte quand bien même quelques finitions seraient appréciables. L’emplacement est proche de tavernes (éviter taverna Yanis…, piège à touristes), des boutiques de souvenirs. Le quartier, pourtant excentré, est une cité balnéaire. Difficile, à Rethymnon semble-t-il (outre le centre historique) de se trouver ailleurs que dans une cité balnéaire qui n’a pas réellement de charme et d’habitants.

I tried to contact them through Trip.com but never received a response. We booked the junior suite, and it didn't state anywhere that it had two floors, which was very bad. There's poor lighting and no window on the upper floor. To top it off, the air conditioning unit is half a meter from the bed, so the noise makes it impossible to sleep. It's poorly soundproofed; there's a nightclub opposite, and you can hear everything. The cleanliness was very mediocre, and so was the breakfast. The only things I would highlight are the kindness of the reception gentleman and the location. But I wouldn't go back. However, the food in the restaurant is good.

The Hotel is located at a 25 min walking distance from the old town. There is no on site parking. The nearest free parking is 10 to 12 mins by walk. The family room is not appropriately designed. The main bed is in a loft with no ventilation or air conditioner. The toilet is very small. The breakfast at the restaurant is very sparse. Expected much better. This is not a value for money hotel.

Great place to stay. Even had a small kitchen in the room. Acces to 3 swimingpools and right next to the beach. Friendly staff and rarely heard any noise from outside. Bars, supermarkets, restaurants and ofcourse the beach right outside the hotel. Will come again.
