The location was ideal, with the beach right in front and the old town a short distance away. The hotel was in a quiet area, perfect for a relaxing vacation. The room was clean and comfortable, with a small bathroom equipped with nice toiletries. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing us with recommendations and making us feel welcome. The breakfast was delicious, and the hotel had great facilities, such as a pool and bar.

One small drawback was that the room could have been cleaned more frequently and towels changed more often, especially for longer stays.

I had an amazing weekend at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The room was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed. The location was perfect, with the beach just a few steps away and the town center easily accessible by bus or a leisurely walk. I also loved the fact that there were plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby, making it convenient to find everything I needed.

The only downside I could come up with was that the entrance to the sea was a bit rocky. However, this was easily solved by wearing water shoes, which you can either bring with you or purchase at the nearby supermarkets for a reasonable price.

The staff at Aristea Hotel were incredibly welcoming and generous, making us feel right at home. They even greeted us with juice upon arrival and provided goodies in the room, like a bottle of wine. The hotel bar/restaurant had delicious and fresh food, especially the salads and gyros. The hotel also offered complementary breakfast, beer, and ice cream, which was a nice touch. The rooms were spacious and perfect for families, with a well-equipped kitchen and living area. The hotel was conveniently located near the beach and had a great pool area. this hotel was ideal for traveling with kids.

Felt like VIPs, no complaints whatsoever.

We had a fantastic stay at a spotless hotel just minutes away from the beach. The staff at Aristea were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The breakfast provided was exactly what we needed to start our days. The location of the hotel is excellent, with beautiful views of the sea and mountains. We also appreciated the convenience of the swimming pool and the small kitchenettes in the rooms. The hotel is situated on the outskirts of Rethymno, away from the noise and crowds, but still close enough to reach the town center in just a short bus ride.

Nothing to be said 😊

amazing stay in rethymno, crete! aristea exceeded our expectations during our honeymoon. staff was welcoming, generous, and made us feel at home. the apartment was spacious with a nice kitchen and living area. great pool area and close to the beach. exceeded our expectations!

Shower should be renovated.

Great position, clean, nice staff, free breakfast, nice room with kitchen and balcony.

Nothing it is perfect.

I recently stayed at Aristea hotel for 10 days with my family and we had a wonderful time. The hotel is conveniently located in a residential area near the beach, with a supermarket right across the street. The reception staff was incredibly helpful, suggesting local places of interest and not pushing us to book excursions. The rooms were comfortable and had lovely shutters to block out the light. We enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen and the balcony to dry our beach clothes. it felt like a home away from home.

Would recommend this hotel.

We only stayed for a single night, as our Airb&b villa wasn't ready. The family room was perfect for our family of 4 with older kids. The room was spacious and clean, and the kitchen area was well equipped. The pool was right outside our semi basement apartment, and we even managed to take a quick dip before leaving. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety, including hot dishes. The hotel staff, especially Vicky White, were extremely helpful and gave us great tips about Crete. The hotel also had a lovely courtyard and a convenient luggage room. The whole stay was under €100!

Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

had an amazing time in rethymno, crete. aristea hotel exceeded my expectations. lovely and cozy with friendly staff, a pool for the kids, and a stunning sea + pool view from the balcony. nearby restaurants were delicious and the beach was just around the corner. a perfect holiday retreat.

Roach in the room.

Great location at the end of the road, cleaner and wider beach. Quiet at night with no road between the property and the beach. Clean, comfortable, nicely decorated with helpful and friendly staff. Spacious and well-maintained rooms with AC and TV. Good WiFi in the living room, weak in the bedroom.

our recent stay in rethymno, crete was absolutely perfect. the hotel we chose exceeded our expectations and gave us a much-needed relaxing break. the spacious room, stunning beach view, and easy access to the town made our stay unforgettable. it truly was everything we could have asked for.

Mosquito mesh on the windows would have been helpful.

My stay at Aristea was fantastic. The hotel is situated in a lovely residential area with a beautiful beach just steps away. The staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, offering helpful suggestions for local attractions. The sea view room I booked was quiet, spacious, and had a stunning view from the balcony. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The pool was a great size, and there were plenty of sun loungers available. I had a wonderful experience at Aristea.

Nothing could have been better. 😊

The hotel's location is perfect, with a beach just steps away and a lovely play park nearby for the kids to enjoy. The convenience of a supermarket right across from the hotel, open late, made our stay even more enjoyable. The area is safe, clean, and peaceful, with no graffiti in sight. The pool area is great, with plenty of sun loungers to relax on. The reception staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, offering suggestions for local places to visit that we hadn't considered. The rooms were comfortable, especially with the lovely shutters that blocked out all light, allowing us to sleep in until noon. The walk from the hotel to the port and old town was pleasant, and we found a fantastic local restaurant recommended by the staff. The fully-equipped kitchen and balcony made us feel right at home. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, with a refreshing juice and goodies in our room, including a bottle of wine. The hotel bar/restaurant served fresh and delicious food, and we even received complimentary breakfast, beer, and ice cream. The 1 room apartment was ideal for traveling with kids, providing ample space and a baby cot that fit perfectly. Despite some noise from the locals in the evenings, the rooms were well-isolated and peaceful. The hotel is conveniently located near the beach, and the pool area offers both sun and shade. Don't be deterred by the hotel's location, as it is well-situated and offers easy access to other places. There are shops, a bakery, a larger supermarket, and a pharmacy within walking distance. we highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and friendly stay.

Breakfast had a great variety, from fresh orange juice to organic eggs and multiple cereals. The hotel even had a cozy coworking lobby, perfect for those business meetings while on holiday. And let's not forget the delicious cocktails at the bar!

Oh, and how could I forget the unforgettable construction noise next to the hotel? Such a lovely touch to my sea view experience.

Our stay at Aristea in Crete was amazing! The location was perfect, close to the beach and easily accessible to the city center. We enjoyed walking along the coastline and exploring the surrounding shops and restaurants. The hotel staff were incredibly kind and always helpful, making our stay truly unforgettable. Thank you, Aristea, for a wonderful holiday in Crete!

Nothing to dislike. 😊
