Avli Lounge Apartments

Great spot! Only real downside is that there is no shower - bath only. There is a spray hose, but no where to hook it up, and you have to stand awkwardly in the tub. Breakfast was amazing.

Avli is a fabulous spot! Superb room, fabulous breakfast, charming staff. Very central with beautiful cobble streets to wander around. Bed could do with an upgrade, we stayed there 5 years ago & bed comfort levels have declined significantly! An easy fix I'd imagine.

Off, off season visit. Almost everything in town was closed. Staff went above and beyond to be helpful. An unexpected snowstorm ( believe it or not) made breakfast a bit late, but staff did everything possible to make up for an event that wasn't their fault. Highly recommended, assuming they are half as good in the regular season.

Everyone was so welcoming. Had a fab time. Would certainly return.

The buildings, restaurants and our room all have beautiful interior design details - much appreciated. All the staff we met were delightful and helped make our stay so enjoyable. This was my favourite town hotel in our 9 night Crete tour!

All around amazing experience and unparalleled customer service! The beauty of the hotel is overshadowed only by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Jonny, the manager, was kind to offer us wine and appetizers upon our late check in (a tradition in Crete) and upgraded us to a gorgeous suite because we were on our honeymoon. Jonny was such an incredible host and was happy to show us the historic features of the hotel and take time to answer all our questions and tell us about Crete. The service and accommodations made us feel like royalty! The location is perfectly located right in Old Town and walking distance to the Fortezza and all the sights, shops, and cafes that one could hope for. My husband and I enjoyed the incredibly delicious daily breakfast included with our stay and are happy we had dinner at the affiliated restaurant as well; the Avli has fantastic food and everything one needs for a wonderful stay in Rethymno! Our stay really was a complete dream and I couldn’t have hoped for a better place to stay than Avli Lounge Apartments!

We stayed here for one night on our trip across Crete. We were so pleased to find a beautiful property in the heart of the old town with lovely, warm staff and a fantastic restaurant downstairs. From checkin to checkout, the entire experience was amazing - we would highly recommend.

Great rooms and amazing restaurant

We arrived late in the evening but that did nt stop Johnny the hotel manager going above and beyond to give us a warm and personal welcome. We were whisked into their beautiful outdoor dining room and enjoyed a lovely meal and drinks . Perfect after a long journey. The rooms at the Alvi are exquisite. The crisp and beautiful bedding and the designer bathroom give a really chic five star feel. It is a small boutique hotel and you really feel spoilt . You get to know all the staff who go out of their way to make your holiday memorable .

Very welcoming staff, great location, rooms had lots of charm.
