Very nicely renovated place right on the seafront, despite being at the heart of the action we did not hear any noise. What sets this place really appart from other places is the kindness and warmth of the people attending to you. They were extremely attentive and made our family really welcome. We would definitely go again.

Excellent stay at the Seafront old town

We arrived at 1 o'clock in the morning and it wasn't an issue. Great apartment with balcony and little kitchen. It was spotless and kept spotless. I did spot some ant's coming in from a crack in the kitchen but the hotel management dealt with it quickly. They gave me everything i needed without me asking. Stone's throw from the seafront too. Loved it.

Varmeste anbefalinger! Fantastiske 8 dager på Seafront Hotel. Meget vennlig og høflig betjening, og upåklagelig service. Snakker godt engelsk, og hjelper med alt. Daglig rengjøring. Gode senger, og fin dusj. Vi hadde balkong ut mot havet og gata, mye liv fra barer og restauranter, men HELT stille og godt inne i leiligheten, null bråk. Air cond inkludert i prisen, nydelig. Gåavstand til alt. Takk for oss, vi kommer tilbake. Hilsen rom 6.

Nice stay

When I arrived, no one was at the reception; the person on duty had run an errand, so I had to call. Was given a room overlooking the sea, which was very nice. However, during the high tourist season, I would opt for a room in the back, as the rooms facing the sea are above a restaurant on restaurant row, and facing a busy street, where loud noise goes on all night. There was loud noise during my stay, but it died down around midnight. The hotel isn’t on the ground floor, no lobby, so expect to climb stairs, and the entrance can be a bit deceiving. The mattress in my room was a bit too soft for me, but overall enjoyed my stay.

Lovely hotel with great views

Nettes kleines Hotel. Ich hatte Glueck und hatte ein sauberes bequemes Zimmer mit Blick auf die Bucht bekommen. Obwohl es viele Bars nach vorne raus gibt, war ich von der Isolierung beeindruckt so dass es nicht allzu laut war. Morgens einen Tee trinken, auf die Bucht schauen, herrlich! Personal sehr nett und tips fuer morgens zum fruehstueck holen. Super zentral. Wuerde definitiv wiederkommen.

The room we stayed was building not far from the main Sea Front Old Town Hotel, in a very quiet road. We particularly enjoyed the proximity to the city centre as well as the quiet of being tucked away on a secondary lane. The room included all the amenities reported in the ads (e.g. A/C, minifridge, toiletries...) as was perfect for a short stay. The two hosts were very welcoming and gave us terrific tips on bakeries / restaurant to go. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

An amazing place to experience in Rethymno

Spent a week in this hotel. Very convenient location. Service are amazing. This family run place are very clean and welcoming. Room service was outstanding. To be honest, I feel home while staying there. Both brothers ( the owner) are so helpful. Anything you need they will sort it out with a big smile. I lost the room keys and they gave me a replacement straightaway. Their friendliness and warm hospitality can’t be forgotten! In my next visit I will definitely go to this place. I recommend anyone without any hesitation you can book this place, I had a great experience ever staying in a hotel abroad. I also thanks to Seafront owner for their heartfelt hospitality in Rethymno. All the best Mizan, Edinburgh

Fred og ro i hyggelige omgivelser

Vi boede i et studio med et lille køkken, hvor to personer kunne sidde og spise, et nyt badeværelse og en lille fransk altan, hvor vasketøjet kunne hænges til tørre. Der var fred og ro til trods for at vi boede i den gamle bydel med mange turister og lokale. De to brødre, der ejer stedet, var søde, rare og meget hjælpsomme. Rengøring var bare i orden.
