- John (10/5): Unexpected rain storms meant I had to stay indoors for some time. The property made it easy to do so as it is so comfort - Beautiful place, spacious and clean. My forth visit. I needed to relax a lot indoors so it was perfect. I missed the table in the front room and the roll up bed, but that’s a minor issue.
- Yong (10/5): -
- corinne (8/5): - Tres bien placé tres calme bon rapport qualité prix Pas d eau chaude impossibilité de se doucher.
- Evaggelia (10/5): -
- Carolina (10/5): Exceptional - We had a truly wonderful stay. The beds were extremely comfortable and the area is very quiet, which made it perfect for getting a good rest. The garden is beautiful, and the apartment is very well equipped, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Everything felt carefully maintained and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again.
- Наталія (10/5): - Everything was really good and the location is perfect. Also we forgot some clothes and host agreed to send it to us by bus that I appreciate a lot!
- Christos (8/5): -

Stor og åpen uteplass med flott utsikt mot Fortezza. Stor og romslig apartment. Dette var femte gangen vi bodde på dette hotellet, men vi har aldri vært så skuffet som denne gangen. Det var ingen sittegruppe på uteplassen da vi ankom. Bare et bittelite bord og to solstoler. Det måtte vi ringe og be om. Vi fikk oppgitt feil telefonnummer av Booking noe som førte til at vi ringte feil person når vi klaget over manglende sittegruppe. Denne personen ble veldig sint. Dusjen var gammel og slitt og døren til dusjen falt ut da vi skulle dusje. Vanntrykket i dusjen var nesten fraværende, og en dag var det kun lunkent eller kaldt vann i dusjen. Det verste var allikevel rengjøringen. Det ble oppgitt at vi skulle få rengjøring og rene håndklær hver tredje dag, men det skjedde ikke. Først gikk det fire dager før vi fikk rene håndklær og deretter gikk det fem dager før vi fikk rene håndklær men det var først etter at vi hadde ringt og bedt om det. Vi måtte til slutt ut å kjøpe oss et håndkle. Ellers var det generelt skittent på badet. Madrassen i sengen var veldig hard og putene var harde og vonde. Dette hotellet kan vi dessverre ikke anbefale.
- Rainer (7/5): In dieses Appartement würde ich nicht noch einmal kommen - Sehr schöne Lage in der Altstadt Fehlender Balkon obwohl angegeben. Keine Rezeption. Viel zu laut bei geöffnetem Fenster. Matratze zu hart. Wohnung zu klein obwohl höhere Kategorie gebucht
- JohannesU96 (6/5): Hat leider nicht den Erwartungen entsprochen - Tolle Lage direkt in der Innenstadt, Küchler vorhanden, Self-check-in, gut erreichbarer Ansprechpartner Insgesamt hatten wir auf Basis der bisherigen Bewertungen etwas ganz anderes erwartet. Die Einrichtung war deutlich in die Jahre gekommen - das Bett hat bei jeder Bewegung geknarzt und die Matratze war sehr unbequem, die AC war laut, die Stange für den Duschvorhang ist halb abgefallen. Leider gab es einen unangenehmen Geruch sowohl im Badezimmer (besonders aus dem Abfluss der Dusche) als auch auf dem Balkon. Im Badezimmer waren außerdem komische Fliegen. Das Zimmer war sehr hellhörig. Auch die Küche könnte bwsser ausgestattet sein
(z.B. Salz wäre nett). Für den Zustand des Zimmer und die Ausstattung ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis definitiv nicht gerechtfertigt!
- Ronny (7/5): Gut - Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und wurde auch im Rahmen der festgelegten Zeiten gereinigt, wenn es nicht mal vergessen wurde!
Die Aufmachung bei Booking ist falsch!
Es handelt sich nicht um ein Hotel, sondern um reine Apartments in einem ehemaligen Hotel! Die Parkplatzsituation ist grauenvoll! Es gibt einige kostenlose Parkplätze.
Es ist ein Kampf um jeden Parkplatz mit Einheimischen und Fußballern die am naheliegen Station spielen und natürlich auch mit Urlaubern!
- Brian (10/5): -
- fabio (10/5): Ideale per coppie. Camera spaziosa, molto carina e pulita. Posizione perfetta. - Camera spaziosa, molto carina e pulita. C'era anche un piccolo cortile privato per rilassarsi e con stendino molto utile.
La posizione era perfetta, alla fine di una delle vie centrali, molto comoda anche per trovare parcheggio con l'auto.
- Polina (10/5): -
- Eirini (10/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto, l’oste è venuta incontro alle mie esigenze, essendo incinta di 8 mesi e si è anche premurata di fare - La comodità è la gentilezza della proprietaria Nulla
- Paulette (4/5): Looks nice, but not as comfortable as first appears. - The attention to detail was very good as was the location. The bed was comfortable. The room was very dark as the curtains had to be drawn the whole time due to the windows opening up to the people in the restaurant opposite. There was no balcony. The shower was very small. There were no teabags in the room. No social area in the house.
- Hubert (10/5): Super pobyt - Bardzo udany pobyt w obiekcie, pokój czysty i przytulny. Na powitanie butelka domowego wina co było miłym zaskoczeniem. Łatwy i szybki kontakt z obsługą obiektu. Brak
- Andrea (7/5): Ok - Ahh, it was ok! Like living in a cave.. hey, we got over it. A good price for what we got. No, interaction with the hosts.
However, they were fantastic at 4am in the morning when the key didn't work! No proper interactions with the hosts. That was fine. We paid for another day.. since our flight was at 11pm. All good 👍
- Sergiu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Costi (10/5): We had a wonderful two-night stay in Rethymno! The location was perfect – right in the heart of the town, with everythin - Everything Nothing
- Gavro (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect ! The location was amazing, situated in the old town, a minute from the sea and 2 minutes from the bus station. The host was really helpful and always active. The apartment itself is really nice and clean, I recommend ! Nothing
- Katie (9/5): Superb - Very nice hotel in the heart of Rethymno. Close walk to the town center and street parking available nearby. A nice bottle of wine was waiting for us when we got to the room, which was a nice surprise! I would stay here again.
- Damiano (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- George (10/5): Exceptional - Τhe situation of the hotel Please check the toilet ,their was no water coming in it.
- Eclewley (9/5): Superb -
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kenneth (8/5): Very good -
- Nikolaos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wendy (9/5): Fabulous location and nice view to the square from Summer room - Location perfect - quirky room - very interesting. No complaints. Great communication from owner. No complaint but shower could do with attention.
Don’t expect to have full cooking facility
- Irma (9/5): Superb - The location was great. The room was clean and comfortable. Easy check in.
- Trude (10/5): Super -
- Anastasiya (9/5): Great location - Great location, clean apartment and good value for money. Difficult to park.
- Lana (10/5): Stay was wonderful. - The property was great, with perfect location in the heart of old town. Very clean and comfortable.
- Darko (8/5): Very good - Amazing location, even though it could be a bit noisy in the evening as there are few restaurants on the square next to accommodation.
Ambient of the flat is very cute and rustic, feel warm and homley Bed was quite small and for 3 nights we spend there we didn't have a good sleep .
Water pressure was very low
- Anastasia (9/5): Superb - The location is really nice, 5 minutes from the bus station and 2 minutes to the oldtown. There are places nearby the hotel to eat and have a drink, but they aren't loud at night. We could also use the garden from the hotel, it was nice to eat our breakfast there.
- Liubov (7/5): Pretty but not practical apartment in a very nice location - Very good location - on the edge of the beautiful old town of Rethymno, close to several beaches (a rocky one with snorkeling is just 3mins away), lots of eateries around, nice terrace and lovely views from our Winter room. The house is beautifully decorated with antique elements. Shower gel and soap were provided. Unfortunately the pictures didn’t fully match the reality, some tables etc were moved to different places which made the rooms less appealing. Also no safety deposit box as stated.
Wi-fi reached only the living room, couldn’t be used in the bedroom.
Kitchen is practically non existent, it’s in the landing of the stairs. Putting on the oven to warm up food tripped the power. Not enough cups (only 2!) and utensils.
Lots of staircases which can be a problem if you have heavy luggage (we did).
No parking at all, had to park about 10-15mins away.
If you are more than 2 persons and someone has to sleep in the living room, it’s very noisy as it faces the square with lots of restaurants.
Cleaning supposed to be every 3 days as per description but the cleaning lady came next day after we checked in (we arrived at 22:00, and the host knew about our arrival time), and she woke us up as she just opened the property and walked in!
Host is not very responsive, although its advertised transfers are available for extra fee, when we asked they told us just take a taxi from the port.
Hotel itself has closed down so no breakfast at the property as previous guests mentioned and no sitting in the yard.
There are ants in the kitchen, lots of mosquitos in the terrace and also a cockroach in the stairs. Understand it’s a hot country where insects are unavoidable but we didn’t see any creepy crawlers in any of our other 3 apartments we stayed at during the holidays
- Vanessa (10/5): Exceptional - I was ill when I arrived, with my friends. Although it was too early to officially check in the kind manager allowed me the a use a the room while I recovered.
Fantastic central location especially for the old town. Would highly recommend
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional - Helpfulness of staff, arrived 4hours early for check in, friend had a migraine, very helpful and gave us a room for my friend to sleep in, offered medication and water etc. Had the other room ready for us within the hour. Happy to recommend, will.stay again if we visit Rethymnon 😀
- Oksana (10/5): Exceptional - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Petruša (10/5): Exceptional - Host was very very nice and helpful. /
- Jolanda (9/5): Gorgeous Stay in Venetian Townhouse! - The owner was absolutely charming and very helpful.. the apartment was spacious and amazing, with many quirky features, including a double bed constructed out of a loom... we started and ended our days on the balcony overlooking the square and the fortress..
The Old Town of Rethymnon basically started right under our window and we were less than 2 minutes walk away from the seaside...we would definitely stay here again when in the area..
Thank you very much! The banisters leading up to the apartment itself were very loose..
Also, as ours was a party of three, I slept on the very comfortable sofa bed in the living room; at night, I had to use the en-suite to the master bedroom on the other side of the apartment, no problem in itself, but the staircase came up in the middle of the apartment.. In the dark I was very aware of the risk of possibly falling down the staircase.. maybe some kind of stairgate could be affixed...
- Donald (10/5): Little gem in Rethimno. - We liked the lovely garden that came with the Autumn room, the large room itself, and the location good for the town and car parks. Excellent value for money. Always kept clean and tidy. Pillows were a bit too hard.
- Marloes (10/5): It was a fantastic for travelling for business. - The location of the hotel was excellent, very quiet but still in the old center of Rethymno. The room was clean, large and comfortable. Nothing!
- Jane (10/5): Fabulous place with gorgeous garden and great location. - Unique, spacious and excellent location, Wi-Fi was a bit erratic.
- Jaden (8/5): Very good - The interior garden was very nice as was the quite that it received most of the time. The isolation of the Autumn room was great. Location was easy to get to from the bus and there were several places to go nearby. There was a crying baby that made it difficult to enjoy the room but that is out of the hotel's control. The wifi was spotty at times and pretty week in some parts of the room. Not having a TV and having a table instead would be wonderful really.
- Geddy (8/5): Great stay! - Very large room at a good price and excellent location Bed was okay, room had a good view but had street noise but was large.
- Nadine (10/5): Exceptional - The room that we stayed in was huge and spacious. Bed comfortable. Everything was clean and the little balcony we had was lovely as well. The hotel was on the quieter part of old town but a 2 min walk to the restaurants/shops so perfect location. We walked from the local bus port which was about a 5 minute walk. The hosts were super helpful - would 100% stay here again. Nothing - it was all great
- Kirsten (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed in the Spring room, which had its own private balcony overlooking the courtyard. It was very close (a couple hundred meters) from the Venetian Fortezza and the seafront, which was very convenient and beautiful. The hotel is located in the old town, where no cars drive in the narrow streets - which makes it perfect for wandering around and looking through all the souvenir and clothing shops, super markets and cafe's and restaurants. We will definitely be back, and will definitely book in at Sohora Hotel. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to accomodate our requests and assist us with arranging transport. Our best stay in Crete! The only comment is that a non-slip mat would be useful in the shower, as the shower floor is quite slippery when it gets wet. Other than that, brilliant accommodation!
- Hisham (9/5): Great little boutique hotel in the old town - Quiet room in the old town. Nicely furnished room with a mini kitchenette. Comfortable and quiet air-conditioner. Breakfast available onsite for reduced price. Sometimes a slightly off smell from the old plumbing system coming into the bathroom...but then this is a historical building.
- Tamás (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nevena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marco (9/5): Excelent Hotel! - The location, staff and the facilities. If you come by car, there is no parking place.
- Jovana (10/5): Exceptional - Hotel is really nice. It has great location. The host is great and very helpful. Definitely will come back.
- Kan (9/5): Superb -
- Anonymous (8/5): Perfect location. Exceptional service. - The location is perfect. Emmanuel is very helpful and gave us good recommendations for how and where to go.
- Malissovas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Giannis (9/5): Superb -
- Simke (10/5): If I were to come to Rethymno again, I would definitely choose this facility. - In addition to the comfort, pleasant staff and cleanliness at a high level, what I would highlight is the free welcome breakfast and coffee on the house on the last morning.
The room is cleaned every three days (towels are changed, dishes are washed, the room is completely cleaned).
Communication with the owner at a high level, a pleasant and kind guy who was always helpful. The facility does not have its own parking lot, but free parking means free city parking near the facility. The average time of searching for a parking place after returning from the beach is about 10.15 minutes.
Beds of slightly smaller dimensions for big guys, especially a bed for two. :)
- Bouchra (9/5): Very nice stay - Great location. Very friendly staff. The terrace in the room. Breakfast possible at the café with discount for the guests. The shower area.
- Suzanne (9/5): Superb -
- Idit (10/5): Exceptional - I had a fabulous stay. The property has a really unique feel, the room was extremely comfortable, spacious and had everything necessary. Loved the little kitchen and the location of the place. But the best part was owner and the staff, they were helpful and kind.
- Timothy (10/5): Exceptional - Our hosts for our five day stay, Emanuel and Antonis were truely fantastic. From the moment we stepped through the door we felt at home and were greeted and treated like family.
The breakfasts for the guests was excellent value and oh so delicious!
The rooms are in the quieter end of the old town, which is great to be away from the hustle and bustle of the markets but still in close proximity to everything.
Walking distance to the Bus Station and some very good Tavernas and restaurants. Having to leave our new family
- Brian (9/5): Superb -
- Cook (10/5): Exceptional - Great place just on the edge of the Old Town and easy access to all the tavernas and shops. We had a really nice room with a roof top deck.
- Annemarie (9/5): perfect 3 days in Reythymno, excellent recommendations for restaurants, quiet neighbourhood, friendly and helpful staff. - friendly staff, excellent location, beautiful old world rooms
- John (9/5): was very happily surprised when I arrived. I’m coming to Crete again and will definitely be staying here. - large, clean and a great view. highly recommend it no negatives
- Jivko (9/5): Superb -
- Yahia (9/5): Book it now !! - Very clean. The hosts did everything to make our stay confortable. The apartment was cosy and very calm in the heart of the old town of Rethymno. Near of Sohora Hotel you can find all the accommodations you’ll need (beach included). Thank you for your hospitality !! Nothing special to mention.
- Bogdan (10/5): Great staff and location - The location was the ideal one. The staff genuine, very friendly and helpful, extra kind to accommodate everything we needed. Perfect ambiance and cozy apartments (as in the photos - stayed in 2 of them). But the location/ positioning, again, I think was the best advantage - right at the west side of the town center (Rethymnon by the way it's the best place to stay if compared with Chania or Heraklion) with a beautiful piazza and very picturesque restaurants / terraces wich make the place seem like in a movie at night, far from the noisy centre but 5 minutes walking from any kind of shops and restaurants anyway. The beach is about 20 minutes away (walking).
I'd say the staff and the location are the two best things :) Hard to find a parking spot during the night. Much easier during the day (lunch time) but good price on a big private car park at 12 minutes away (port). I personally regret renting a private car as we didn't use it that much, plenty bus options.
- Kelsey (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were lovely and the room was beautiful.
- Lupuspas (10/5): Authentic boutique hotel that feels like home - A really nice and authentic looking boutique hotel in the center of the Rethymnon old town. The rooms are spacious, well kept, tidy with wooden furniture and decorations giving the feel of a warm home as in the olden days. Each room has an air conditioner. There is a big terrace if you want to sun bathe. The backyard of the hotel is also lovely, surrounded by plants and flowers. You can have breakfast there (which is really good) and is a true refreshment in the morning.
The staff is really welcoming and helpful and try to be mindful of the environment and sensible about use of resources (electricity/water) which we really like. So stick to the guidance provided.
- Krishma (8/5): Charming apartment very conveniently placed - A lovely quirky charming apartment, fully equipped with a kitchenette with a good sized functional bathroom.
To enter the apartment, internally there are some stairs and from the windows one looks down on a very pretty ‘Bustro’ garden area, where we in the morning had our breakfast, perfect location for the fabulous Old Town and a 5 minute walk to the bus station.
We would stay here again The breakfast sadly didn’t match up to this very special place
- Danielle (10/5): Exceptional -
