Guest Reviews
- pierre (10/5): Magnifique boutique hôtel - Excellent emplacement
Beaucoup de cachet
Un personnel parfait Rien
- David (10/5): Beautiful property and welcoming host in the centre of the old town. - The very early house in the centre of the old town and the welcome from an original owner of the property, plus the delightful conversion to suit modern needs while keeping the essence of the ancient building. Nowt.
- Raquel (10/5): - Très bel hôtel dans un beau bâtiment classé en plein centre-ville. Parking aisé en dehors de la vieille ville (le long des remparts) et un personnel très accueillants. Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre court séjour. Parfois un peu de bruit la nuit mais rien de très embêtant.
- Leslie (10/5): A Gem - Our room was elegant and spotless. This mattered more to us than the small size--excepting the bathroom, which was quite large! Eleni, the proprietor, was lovely and welcoming. The location was prrfect, close to free parking and on one of the quieter alleyways. Nothing.
- Samantha (10/5): Beautiful property, perfect location, fantastic host - The property is lovely. Our room was amazing. Comfortable and had everything we needed. We met the host and she was so friendly and helpful. Check-in process was easy and the location is perfect for exploring the old town. If we returned to Rethymno, we would definitely hope to stay here again, if she’d have us :) Nothing, it was perfect.
- Gilad (9/5): -
- Dennis (10/5): Classic Style Hotel - Hotel is in a former Venetian Governor's Mansion and you can tell. It had wood floors and beautiful wood ceilings. Bed was very comfortable and a nice hot shower. Located in the scenic old town near everything. Our room had a beautiful four poster bed. The hotel deserves more than a 3 Star rating - best 3 Star we have ever stayed in. No elevator, occasional loud music from nearby street (but not every night). Otherwise, no complaints.
- Ktoridou (10/5): - Πολύ κεντρικό. Πεντακάθαρο. Οι πετσέτες ήταν ολοκαίνουριες και μοσχοβολούσαν.

- Julien (7/5): - Personnel très aimable et disponible, avec de bonnes suggestions. L’hôtel est situé en plein cœur de la vieille ville, où tout se fait à pieds en moins de 5 minutes. Étant en plein centre, il y a pas mal de bruit dans la rue.
- Minoo (10/5): We would definitely stay at Leo’s hotel again if we visit Rethymno . We loved the place - Everything was excellent. Eline who was our host was lovely and caring. She made every effort to make sure we were comfortable. Location was great and the bed and bathroom were very clean and comfortable . We could not have asked for more Nothing

- Chiara (10/5): - I had such a wonderful stay at Leo Hotel in Rethymno! The room was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. Everything I needed for a relaxing stay. What really made the experience special, though, was the owner. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout my visit, which made me feel right at home.
I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rethymno and would happily stay here again!
- Jo (10/5): -

- Murray (9/5): Very refined and elegant place to stay , perfect base for walking around the town. - Lovely old building in a fantastic location!
- Hugues (9/5): Bonne adresse à Rethymnon - situation centrale; accueil très aimable et francophone; bel établissement rénové. Pas de petit déjeuner sur place, prévoir d'aller dans un bar/café aux alentours. La rue peut etre bruyante dans la soirée.

- Anna (10/5): Beautiful boutique hotel in a great location for Old Rethymno - The Hotel Leo is set in a fantastic 15th-century building in the heart of the old town of Rethymno. Ideally located for all the attractions the town has to offer and all within easy walking distance.
The owner was very welcoming. She was there to meet us and gave us all the information we needed for our stay.
The hotel was exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained, making the most of its history and amazing original stone features.
The room was very clean with beautiful furniture in keeping with the age and feel of the building. The bathroom was spacious with complimentary toiletries provided.
Tea and coffee facilities as well as a fridge were very welcome.
We had a great stay and will definitely be back when we return to Rethymno in the future. Nothing, everything was perfect.
- ANTONIOS (10/5): -
- Corinne (9/5): - Accueil au top de la réceptionniste très à l’écoute et jolie chambre Pas de service déjeuner et pas de service de chambre le dimanche dommage
- ARISTEIDIS (9/5): Πανέμορφο κατάλυμμα στην καρδιά της παλιάς πόλης. - Τοποθεσία, καθαριότητα, ευγένεια οικοδεσπότη
- reisefuzzi (10/5): Hotel in Mitten der Altstadt von Rethymno - Wir hätten es nicht besser treffen können... ein kleines, aber feines Hotel in der Altstadt von Rethymno. Elini hat uns beim Check-in sehr herzlich begrüßt und uns alles bestens erklärt. Wir waren die letzten Gäste dieser Saison. Unser geräumiges Zimmer war zur Straße und hatte einen Balkon mit schönen Blick zum Geschehen. Frühstück gab es ein paar Schritte weiter bei "Stellas Kitchen" und auch das war jeden Morgen ein perfekter Start in den Urlaubstag. Da das Hotel in der Altstadt liegt, gibt es keine Parkplätze am Hotel, aber wir haben immer an der Festung (6 min Fußweg) einen kostenfreien Parkplatz gefunden. Sollten wir wieder einmal nach Rethymno reisen, wäre das Leo Hotel unsere erste Wahl. Ganz bestimmt! ...dass wir abreisen mußten =)
- Yves MILLEMANN (9/5): - Très bon emplacement, à deux pas de la loggia vénitienne; quartier très joli et dans lequel on adore se perdre avec un dédale de rues pittoresques. Personne charmante à l'accueil, chambre très jolie dans une rue calme! Le petit déjeuner peut être pris non loin de là chez "Stella", où il est très bien! La difficulté potentielle de se garer car vieille cité classée, mais on trouve autour de la forteresse ou bien dans le parking payant non loin de là (tarifs raisonnables). Les toilettes dans la salle de bain = bof...
- muriel (9/5): - Accueil chaleureux et chambre très agréable
- Romuald (10/5): -
- Rani (10/5): Very Nice Hotel - Beautiful restored old mansion.
- Sylvie (9/5): - Charmant hôtel dans une ruelle animée du centre. Très bon accueil.
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour.
- Colin (7/5): Nice place, with good hostess in central location - Central location. Hostess very friendly. Provided fresh insect repellent for the mozzies. Bed could have been more comfortable. As with any central location there is can always be a little noise at night.
- Olja (8/5): -
- Sylvie (9/5): - Charmant hôtel dans une petite rue très calme du centre de Réthymnon.
Superbe chambre et salle de bain spacieuses.
Très bon accueil.
Seul point négatif: pas de petit déjeuner à l'hôtel lors de notre séjour.
- Hans (8/5): -
- Gachet (9/5): - La localisation dans la partie ancienne et son calme .l
Le parking tout proche et pas plus cher qu’en France
La gentillesse de l’hôtesse et ses bons conseils
Enfin la chambre confortable et meublée avec goût tout en respectant la noblesse du bâtiment
Seul petit bémol les escaliers un peu raides quand on a plus vîngt ans
- Gesine (9/5): Angenehme Unterkunft im Zentrum. - Zentrale, ruhige Lage in der Altstadt, freundlicher Empfang.
- Corinne (9/5): - The location was excellent. We were steps away from restaurants and shops in the old town. The bus station and the fortezza were within walking distance. The host was kind and helpful. We liked everything.
- Danuz90 (10/5): Top spot - Everything. The room was lovely, nice bed, good aircon, quiet enough for central old town location. Host was very nice.
- Maťová (10/5): - Very nice hotel with perfect location right in the historical centre and very reasonable price. The room was very clean, well equiped and cozy. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

- MARIE CECILE (8/5): Hôtel très charmant dans la vieille ville - L’hôtel est très bien situé et facile d’accès dans la vieille ville. Il y a un parking payant à proximité.

Eleni Nothing
- Uwe (10/5): -
- Mattias (10/5): -
- Per (10/5): Wonderful location in a beautiful old city hotel. Heleni was amazing. - Unfortunately, there was no breakfast available.
- Schiegg (7/5): - War ok Die Unterkunft war ok, es gibt aber starken unangenehmen Geruch, sowohl im Zimmer als auch in den Gängen. Diese scheinen von irgendwelchen Duftsteckern zu stammen.
Man sollte sich bewusst sein , das man in diesen Stadthotels mit dem Gepäck durch die halbe Stadt laufen muss
- Mary Jane (9/5): Great stay in a beautifully renovated historic Venetian building in the Center of the old town. - Location, history of the building, Elena our hostess was exceptional. There was no elevator! We were on the second floor and it was quite a climb.
- Elena (9/5): Great stay in the heart of the old city center - The hotel is in the heart of the historical city center, and even so, it was quiet during the night. The room was cozy and clean. The reception was very kind and helpful. You will need to walk around 7 min from the parking, because you can’t park in the city center.

- Lev (10/5): Our stay at the hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. The host Eleni was warm and attentive, the rooms spotless -

- Παναγιωτης (9/5): -
- Joana (9/5): Boa localização, cama confortável e boa instalações - - instalações, o quarto, a decoração e a casa de banho (banheira era espetacular)
- ofereceram água e produtos de higiene pessoal.
- localização é excelente. - gostamos de tudo. Único ponto a destacar relaciona-se com o barulho exterior, há um bar nas proximidades que faz algum barulho de fundo à noite (música e vozes) mas não é nada de grave.
- consideramos o preço um pouco excessivo face às facilities que oferece (nomeadamente não possui pequeno almoço incluído).
- Deborah (10/5): - Lovely property and great location
- Cassisi (9/5): - Ottima posizione, hotel immerso nel centro storico. La proprietaria molto gentile, dà ottimi suggerimenti su come muoversi nei dintorni, con consigli sui ristoranti compresi. Camera molto ampia
- Hervé (10/5): Superbe séjour au coeur d'une cité incontournable - Superbe bâtiment historique de 6 siècle d'histoires. Hauteur sous plafond. idéalement situé dans la vieille ville.
Accueil discret et charmant
- Nikol (8/5): - Όμορφο ξενοδοχείο στο κέντρο της παλιάς πόλης του Ρεθύμνου, σε ιδανική τοποθεσία, λίγα βήματα από όλα τα μαγαζιά, τα εστιατόρια και τα γραφικά σοκάκια. Το δωμάτιο ήταν κάθαρο, και διακοσμημένο με γούστο και vintage επιπλα, ενώ οι οικοδεσπότες ήταν πάντα ευγενικοί και πρόθυμοι να μας εξυπηρετήσουν. Η διαμονή μας ήταν πραγματικά απολαυστική

- Christopher (10/5): Wonderful quiet historic hotel. - Fantastic location. Wonderful host. Clean functional rooms that offer all that is required. Nothing.

- Dimitri (10/5): -
- Linda (10/5): Lovely - Gorgeous hotel right in the centre. The host was very helpful. We booked last minute as we were travelling around the island, she rearranged the room to suit our needs. Would definitely stop here again. Nothing not to like!
- Ian (10/5): -
- Alicja (10/5): Great place in the heart of old Rethymno - Lovely, friendly staff with many useful recommendations of what to see in the city and the island and where to eat. Clean room, available amenities, location in the historical old town was also great
- Riccardo (10/5): -
- ANCA (9/5): -
- María (9/5): -
- Alina (9/5): Beautiful stay in the heart of Rethymno - It is in the middle of old town, so it has a good placement. The place is very beautiful, it is an old, but elegant building arranged with a lot of good taste. It has a spacious room and air conditioning, the bathroom looks very modern, and it had the necessary amenities for the shower. We liked it. Also we appreciated the two bottles of water in the fridge.
The owner was very hospitable as well. It does not have an elevator and it is hard to climb two floors with luggage. It does not have parking. We parked in a place 5 minutes in walking distance from the hotel, but that was 60 cents per hour. It does not have balcony and, therefore, it doesn’t have a clothesline where to dry our clothes (towels and bathing suits from the beach, it is a must in my opinion seeing it is summertime and this is a beach destination).
- Ed (10/5): - Eleni was great - very warm, friendly, ever-present at the front desk and best of all was very complimentary of photos of our dog.
The rooms are beautiful, clean, spacious with a high ceiling and small terrace with large bathrooms and a safe for valuables.
The hotel itself is situated conveniently in the heart of Old Town so good food & drink and the beach are all with a short walking distance Absolutely no complaints. We loved our stay.

- Ingrun (9/5): -
- Nadija (10/5): Super! - Die Lage ist Perfekt, mitten in der Altstadt und trotzdem ruhig zum schlafen. Sehr freundliche Besitzerin. Sehr sauber, wir würden wieder kommen! Leider gibt es keinen Fahrstuhl und daher ist es etwas schwierig mit großen Koffern im zweiten Stock.
- Jayne (10/5): Absolute treat , a unique and special place to stay. - Excellent location but the best feature was the beautiful generous sized room with the stone walls and lovely decor . Negligible, but more spacious bathroom vanity (or smaller basin )
- Jocelyne (10/5): -
- fiume84 (10/5): Perfectly situated little hotel with excellent host, Eleni. - Perfectly situated little hotel with excellent host, Eleni.
