Archontiko Old Town Suites in Rethymno

The place is

Tiny boutique hotel in a beautiful building. Very well-maintained! The rooms are not very spacious, but they have everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Several shared-use areas where you can cheal or read a book, have a cup of coffee. We enjoyed it very much.

Nice place to stay in the city center.. Very clean and nice design for the room and the entrance.. The owner was very friendly and helped a lot especially with keeping my luggage after check out. Highly recommend

Last minute booking we were lucky to get. Warmly welcomed by the owner and shown to our room. We dropped off our cases then went to explore Rethymno. Beautiful hotel in an old Venetian building. The roof top was amazing with 360 views and a bar. Had a lovely night's sleep and the shower was amazing. Complimentary water and raki was a nice touch. Wholeheartedly recommend this quirky, beautiful hotel and the very kind owner. Thanks

We spent 3 days at Archontiko. The place is conveniently located in the heart of Rethymno, yet in a quiet street. The room is cute and was perfect for out stay. There is a rooftop terrace, where you can enjoy a drink and have a rest after a long summer day. Archontiko offers breakfast that is different from the plain breakfast you have at almost all Greek hotels. A toast or a pastry, milk with muesli, fruit and espresso, specially prepared for you. We liked the special attention of the hosts Kostas and Alena with whom we discussed our plans to explore Crete. They are very kind and cool people that you rarely meet even in Greece.

Very nice hotel in the very center of the Old Town. Beautiful rooms, all the necessary facilities for a comfortable stay. I advise everyone who wants to really have a good rest and relax in a very beautiful place.The hosts are very friendly. Thank you!

Hotel very well located in the city center. We really liked our room but found the bathroom small and outdated (too bad no photos of the latter on the sites). The breakfast is good but it would be much better to make a menu because it is difficult to know what you are going to have during this breakfast. The weather was gray and breakfast was not served on the beautiful panoramic terrace but in a vaulted interior room. Be careful for people sensitive to light because there are no blackout curtains.

We stayed there for a short escape. The location is fantastic, right in the center, but very quiet street. The building is beautiful, the rooms are small, but have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooftop terrace view is just a gem. The coffee, wines and cocktails at the cafe bar of the property (served as well at the rooftop terrace) are of great quality. We will definitely be back again!

I’ve never written a review in which I talk about how helpful the owners are— I’ve usually made all the plans and have everything organized. But in this case there’s a lot to know about Crete and the owners really helpful! Such a beautiful hotel - only four rooms in the heart of the historic district. The owner Alonya and her husband Kostas are incredible. They sent detailed and perfect parking instructions long in advance. Kostas gave us detailed and helpful ideas for our outings. He sent us more travel ideas on WhatsApp - even after we left- like a small beautiful beach not in our guidebook - a suggestion that saved the day later in the trip. They also run a cafe on site so you can get cappuccinos or Aperol spritzes (or the delicious and huge breakfast) and sit on the rooftop terrace. There are only four rooms, all of which have their own baths (small- it’s the historic district). We had 3 of the 4 rooms and all were lovely and quite similar, although top level ones have view and are quieter. Safes in rooms. They have a great plan with bottled water where they give you filtered water in glass bottles - so much more eco friendly than plastic. This type of attention to details exemplifies the owners’ thoughtfulness and attention to comfort at this beautiful romantic hotel. 10/10 recommend.
