Guest Reviews
- Daniel (10/5): - Lage war spitze!
Reinigung des Appartements schlecht!
- Othmane (8/5): - Bon séjour
Très bon emplacement pour découvrir la ville.
- Andrew (8/5): Lovely apartment - Great location right on the front supermarkets nearby and dozens of shops and restaurants lift to all floors but quite a few steps to get to reception
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Grei leilighet, men lite utstyr for å evt kunne lage mat selv. Ustabil strøm første to dagene, da hovedsikringen slo seg ut veldig ofte. Lite bad/dusj.
- MARIA (6/5): ΚΑΤΑΣΤΑΣΗ ΔΩΜΑΤΙΟΥ - ΧΡΕΙΑΖΕΤΑΙ ΑΝΑΚΑΙΝΗΣΗ.ΜΑΡΤΙΟΣ ΜΗΝΑΣ ΜΕ ΠΙΚΕ ΚΟΥΒΕΡΤΟΥΛΑ Κ ΣΕΝΤΟΝΑΚΙ ΔΕΝ ΚΑΛΥΠΤΕΙ ΤΗΝ ΕΠΟΧΗ.ΕΠΙΠΛΕΟΝ ΧΡΕΙΑΖΕΤΑΙ ΠΕΡΙΣΣΟΤΕΡΟΣ ΦΩΤΙΣΜΟΣ ΣΤΟ ΔΩΜΑΤΙΟ Κ ΕΠΙΣΗΣ ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΗ ΚΑΘΑΡΙΟΤΗΤΑ.ΟΙ ΤΡΙΧΕΣ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΟΗΓΟΥΜΕΝΩΝ ΔΕΝ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΟΤΙ ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΟ!
- Hannu (8/5): Harbour view appartment. - Good place for short visit. Clean and spacious room with nice big bed. A little bit short of Kitchen equipments.
- Sherif (10/5): Great location - Great location across from beach. 7eur taxi ride from bus station if u don't want to walk. Big rooms with balcony looking out to road and beach. Old town is mins away and either directions leaving hotel you will find lots and lots of tavernas. The host was very helpful in arranging a taxi for us for early departure to Heraklion to catch ferry since Ktel bus ride was cutting it close. Although bus ride is much cheaper and coach is really comfortable it costs 80eur by taxi for about 1:10mins instead of 1:30by bus for under 10eur. We didn't want to take any chances with ferry departing at 8am out of Heraklion. Highly recommend hotel for short stay...great value and location.
- Irene (10/5): - I really enjoyed our stay at Aquamarina. It is in a wonderful location. It is just across the street from a very nice beach with access to water sports. It is also very close to old city of Rethymno. There is a wonderful little bakery right next-door and a market close by. I wish we had stayed at this hotel longer. Will definitely plan to stay here when I return again
- Aira Inkeri (6/5): - Fantastiskt läge. Inga faciliteter på hotellet, besvärligt om man har sent flyg. Trevlig personal. Rent och snyggt.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft in Toplage - Ideale Lage zur Altstadt und Strand - fussläufig 10Min. Herrliche Aussicht vom Balkon (3.Etage) zum Fort und Strand. Sauberes Zimmer, Bad klein, Küchenausstattung etwas dürftig. Rezeption sehr freundlich/bis ca 14:00 besetzt. Negativ: Keine Parkplatzmöglichkeit, gegenüber sollte am Hafenparkplatz ein Parkplatz - nur Monatsticket verfügbar - für 45€ dazu gebucht werden. Wir haben mit dem Mietauto täglich mehrere Runden gedreht. Die Stadt war voll mit Touris Ende August21. Achtung Ameisen im Küchenschrank. Köderauslegen wäre angebracht.
Wir kommen jederzeit gerne wieder. Alles in allem eine super Unterkunft mit Toplage.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Parfait - Très bon séjour, l’appartement était très propre et l’emplacement parfait.
- Rob (8/5): - Clean and tidied regularly, plenty of space for two. Nice balcony & view. Only one slight room for improvement was the shower was a bit small with an ineffective curtain.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Emplacement idéal, très agréable. Propre. Douche un peu petite.
- Chloé (10/5): Très bien! - Très bien, bel hôtel, bel emplacement.
Communication très simple avec l’hôtel qui répond aux mails dans l’heure. Belle expérience!
- paul (10/5): Bon rapport qualité prix - Personnel serviable hôtel à recommander
- BRIAN (8/5): Nice clean Hotel - I was staying at the hotel whilst getting a boat ready. So for me the location couldn't be better The bed was comfortable the room was tidy. One problem that might upset guests is the noise from the road I was on the first floor At night the local boy racers like to use the sea front .but this would be the same for all the hotels along the front, some I exspect you would pay a lot more for..but a part from that a pleasant stay.
- Fabrizio (8/5): À proximité de centre, propre et accueillant - Très bien lorsqu’on est de passage quelques jours pendant la basse saison.
Résidence accueillante et propre avec vue sur mer. Salle de bain un peu petite.
A 5 min à va pied du centre historique de Rethymno.
A cette période, pas de petit déjeuner servi mais on peut déjeuner pour pas cher vers le centre.
- Craig (8/5): Lovely Apartment with Sea views - We stayed 5 nights at Aqua Marina at the end of October into early November. The position overlooking the sea was great. The room was a little tired but light and spacious, though the bathroom was tight. The kitchenette was very useful and the bed comfortable. The wifi was good and the staff, though there only till 3:00pm each day, were very courteous and helpful. We arrived after the staff had left for the day, but our apartment key was waiting for us. The location, being about 1 kilometre out of Rethymno town was quiet and it was a flat pleasant walk into town. We found it convenient to be located between Chania and Heraklion. The only downside was that many of the restaurants and operators in the area, closed down on 1 November for the winter season! We had been unaware of this. Rethymno is a picturesque town, with a quaint Venetian harbour and a character filled old town.
- BRIAN (8/5): Nice stay in Crete - I wanted a room near the marina. The hotel was in an excellent position for that. The beach which was just across the road looked very nice but as it was November I did not go swimming.
The room was very clean and nicely kept even though it was out of the main holiday season.
The main road in front of the hotel can be a bit noisy but was okay once the balcony doors were shut.
I intend to use this place again .It is more of an apartment than a hotel with adequate cooking facilities if needed.There are plenty of places in the vicinity to eat and there was a nice greengrocer`s over the road.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very modern airy room. Good location close to oli town and one step from the beach. Sea view is great. Windows and balcony doors are good soundproofed and bed was very good, we slept liike a logs :-)
Some had complane samall showercorner, but I think that’s ok, we didn’t have any problems with that.
Great hotel, we’ll be back for sure!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Ottima posizione sul mare è vicino al centro storico. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Personale adeguato alla struttura. Ottima la pulizia degli appartamenti. Unica raccomandazione: avvisare che il personale per il Check In è presente in struttura solo fino alle 14 e non oltre.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location was superb and the accommodation was as described - good standard and serviced daily.
- Søren (6/5): Udemærket værelse tæt på stranden. - Egentligt et udemærket værelse til prisen. Fin udsigt og god beliggenhed. Trafikstøj er rimelig intens, men det vidste vi på forhånd.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Idéalement situé à Rethymno , la promesse de la qualité des prestations de l’hôtel est tenue.
- Rolf Øystein (8/5): Flott beliggenhet - Hotellet ligger veldig bra til i Reptymno. Kort vei til strand og gamlebyen og nydelig utsikt fra terrassen. Rommene var greie, men badet kunne vært litt større.
- www (10/5): - Ottima posizione, bella vista mare, studios bello ed ampio
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Ottima posizione, bello studios con bella vista sulla spiaggia.
Parcheggio pubblico a pagamento.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice sea view - Very nice sea view, great location, clean, needs some refurbishment.
- ANTONIA (10/5): Άνεση με θέα θαλασσα - Πολυ όμορφο δωμάτιο, όπως ακριβως φαινεται και στις φωτογραφίες. Καθαρό και πολυ ευρύχωρο και με πολυ όμορφη θέα στην παραλία του Ρεθυμνου. Περισσότερο απο όλα ευχαριστήθηκα τον ύπνο μου γιατι το κρεβάτι ηταν πολυ μεγάλο με καταπληκτικό στρώμα και μαξιλάρια διαφορετικής σκληρότητας για να επιλέξεις.
- DIMITRIOS (8/5): Ακριβής περιγραφή, πολύ καλός ύπνος. - Από τα πιο άνετα κρεβάτια που έχω κοιμηθεί! Από τα πιο μαλακά μαξιλάρια! Επίσης από τις λίγες φορές που οι φωτογραφίες του καταλύματος ήταν ακριβώς όπως είναι ο χώρος. Ο δρόμος έξω έχει φασαρία αλλά τα τζάμια έχουν τέλεια μόνωση αν τα κλείσεις δεν ακούγεται το παραμικρό (και ήμουν στον πρώτο όροφο). Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα
- Kaja (10/5): Recommended apartment - Perfect next to the Beach and close to old town, big and Nice with comfy bed. Alot of noise in the balcony but quiet in te apartment with door closed.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Die Lage ist ein Träumchen, Blick über den Hafen zur Festung, nah beim Strand und derAltstadt wir werden wiederkommen
- Kirsi (10/5): Nära havet - Fina rum. Härlig utsikt mot havet. Kan rekomendera.
- GIANNIS (10/5): Πολυ καλή Διαμονή... - Το μέρος είναι πολύ όμορφο, το ξενοδοχείο ήταν φανταστικό, πολύ καθαρό σε κεντρικό σημείο της πόλης πάνω στη θάλασσα, εξαιρετική διαμονή πολύ ωραίο προσωπικό.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Alles so wie beschrieben. Keine negative Erfahrungen.
- Luben (10/5): - We had a great time in Aqua Marina
- Gillian (10/5): Fantastic - Fab location for old town and beach and marina are directly in front. Fantastic views and spotlessly clean
- Lone (10/5): Fantastisk beliggenhed - Skøn rummelig lejlighed med helt fantastisk beliggenhed lige ud til stranden og meget tæt på byen. Panorama udsigt fra borgen/byen, havnen og ud over stranden. Smukt!
Vi kunne ikke have ønsket os en bedre ferie. . .
- Verified traveler (8/5): Leiligheter med fin beliggenhet - Bra beliggenhet i forhold til bla. stranden og den koselige gamlebyen, men hotellet ligger ved en sterkt trafikkert vei med mye støy, men leiligheten hadde verandadør som isolerte godt mot støyen, så søvnen ble lite forstyrret, sengen var også veldig god.
Kjøkkenkrok med kokeplater og kjøleskap med fryseboks, ingen microbølgeovn som vist på bildene. Bra wifi, men litt ustabil, bra aircondition.
Leiligheten fremsto som mer slitt og «enkel» enn på bildene til hotellsidene, den er delvis oppusset, med en blanding av nye og gamle møbler.
Oppholdsrom og bad var mindre enn forventet, og renholdet var ikke det beste jeg har sett, det var også flekker på gardiner og sengeteppe.
Det luktet innimellom kloakk på badet.
Heisen i bygget er gammel og skrøpelig og den tok vi bare når vi måtte.
Det er sjelden noen i «resepsjonen» som består av et lite skrivebord nede i gangen, resepsjonisten kom og gikk mellom kl, 10 og 14, og var lite interessert i gjestene, hun satt stort sett i telefonen.
Leilighetshotellet har ingen fasiliteter.
Jeg tok kontakt på mail før ankomst vedr.ønske om rom i øverste etasje, men fikk aldri noe svar, tok også kontakt for å høre om det ville være noen i resepsjonen når vi ankom hotellet, fikk ikke svar på det heller, selv etter to forsøk, fikk etter mye om og men tak i en person på telefon.
Alt i alt litt skuffet, men vi hadde en fin ferie i flotte Rethymnon.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Pieni, viihtyisä hotelli meren tuntumassa. - Sijainti aivan loistava - vanhan kaupungin reunalla, rantakadulla. Helppo lähteä niin rannalla kuin kaupungille, sillä kaikki palvelut käden ulottuvilla. Uima-allasta ei kaivattu sillä meri ja uimaranta on 100 m päässä. Hotellin yleissiisteys hyvä, liinavaatteiden mm.pyyhkeiden puhtaudessa parantamisen tai pikemmin vaihtamisen varaa. Kylpyhuone olisi saanut olla hiukan isompi. Viihtyisä, pieni hotelli, jossa ilmastoidut huoneet merinäköalalla. Mukava henkilökunta. Menisin uudelleen.
- shaun C. (6/5): Overpriced hotel on beach - The rooms are dated, bathroom is tiny. View is the best part.
- Pierre (8/5): Très sympa - Appart hôtel très agréable donnant sur la rue donc du bruit la nuit. Mais c'est plutôt bien isolé donc çà ne pas posé de souci. Au pire prévoyait des bouchons. La plage est à 50m en face donc le matin, rien de plus agréable que de commencer par un saut dans l'eau.
Point négatif: peu d'ustensiles de cuisines si vous comptez cuisiner. A revoir
Et le plaid recouvrant le canapé n'est plus très blanc. Autrement tout est propre.
Le personnel n'est là que de 10H à 14H. Si vous arrivez après aucun souci, elles laissent une enveloppe à votre nom avec les clefs à l'entrée.
Sinon le prix est très abordable pour cette période de l'année sachant que vous êtes à 300m du centre ville
- mauro (8/5): Semplice ma confortevole - Piccolo e semplice residence fronte mare in centro a Rethymno. Non semplicissimo trovare parcheggio specie in alta stagione. Reception presidiata solo poche ore al giorno. Ma le chiavi vengono lasciate all ingresso. Stanza semplice ma funzionale e ben arredata, con piccolo angolo cottura e terrazzino vista mare.. Le finestre isolano bene dai rumori stradali. Ben arredato e pulito, bagno completo e funzionale. Solo i mobili del terrazzo non puliti. Per quanto pagato da noi (36€ offerta last minute) sicuramente ok
- Verified traveler (8/5): Lokatie perfect, dicht bij het strand/oude stad. - De lokatie is voor mij perfect,tegenover het strand (alleen een weg ertussen) en 5 minuten van het oude centrum. Uitzicht op zee en de oude stad (vooral 's avonds genieten van alle mooie lichtjes) en ondergaande zon.
Keukeninrichting is minimaal, je kan niet uitgebreid koken. Badkamer klein, maar te doen, de douche was redelijk.
Goed bed, en een leuk balkon.
De ontvangst bij aankomst was gastvrij, kapotte fohn/koffiezet apparaat werden meteen vervangen, evenals het repareren van de kluis. Van 10.00-14.00 uur was Maria aanwezig voor vragen etc. Daarna werkte ze in het andere hotel als receptioniste.
Als je niet te veel eisen stelt aan inrichting, is dit een perfecte lokatie. Lokatie en veel op loopafstand kunnen doen was voor mij belangrijk. Vanuit Rethymnon kan je vele excursies doen, in dit gezellige stadje zitten veel leuke, gezellige restaurantjes waar je heerlijk kan eten voor weinig geld.
- Tschaka (10/5): Very comfortable and close to Rethymno centre - The hotel staff were very kind, provided us with an excellent room and were continuously available to help us. The room was large and clean with a comfortable bed and guys facilities for a family. It took only a few minutes to walk into Rethymno and parking was easy to find.
- Robert (10/5): - This is not exactly a hotel, but apartments. There is a receptionist here only from 10:00am-2:00pm dailly. Be sure to check in between those times or make arrangements with them ahead of time. There is an emergency number posted by the doorway in case you miss her, but then you will need to wait for the receptionist to return. Otherwise, the local is wonderful, across from a beautiful beach, and many restaurants and shops very nearby. The apartment was very clean and neat. Comes with a cooktop, mini-fridge, and sink in the little kitchen area. Table and chairs also there. Very comfortable bed, I think queen size. Beautiful view from the balcony of the sea and beach. I highly recommend this place unless you are wanted lots of services included. Has good wifi, but only 4 channels on tv.
- Jake (8/5): Prima appartement vlak bij stad, strand en marina. - Mooie uitvalsbasis, compleet ingericht, netjes en schoon.
Behulpzaam personeel, prima service.
- Ove (8/5): Helt greit og fint Hotell - Beskrivelsen av hotellet er helt riktig, damen i resepsjonen var veldig blid og hyggelig, har ikke noe negativt å si om oppholdet, kommer gjerne igjen til hotellet og byen som jeg synes er både billigere og bedre enn Chania.
Skal jeg nevne noe som kunne forbedres må det være at det ville være en fordel med forheng i dusjen. Dette ville også bevare hele rommet på sikt.
- karen (8/5): - Great location, very quite, fabulous views.
From bus station, walk up to the church at the top of the stairs, catch the university bus to within a block of hotel. Cheap and really easy. ( music school stop)
- Manolis (10/5): Μία υπέροχη διαμονή - Ήταν πάρα πολύ ωραίο τό δωμάτιο ή κοπέλα στην υποδοχή χαμογελαστή και ευγενικοτατη πολύ άνετο το δωμάτιο και μέ υπέροχη θέα στο λιμάνι πραγματικά θα ήθελα πολύ να πάω ξανά
- Athanasia-Rafaela (10/5): Αξιζει να μεινετε! - Το δωματιο ηταν σε μια πολυ καλη τοποθεσια πολυ κοντα στη παραλια και στις καφετεριες με τα ποδια.Πολυ καθαρο δωματιο ευρυχωρο με πολυ ανετο κρεβατι και χωρος φαινοταν προσφατα ανακαινισμενος.το πληρωσα 29 ευρω με τους φορους και νομιζω η αξια του ηταν παραπανω απο αυτα τα χρηματα !
- Verified traveler (8/5): A good base for beach holiday - We had a perfectly pleasant stay at Aqua Marina. Standard sea view room (they're all seaview), was very adequate. All very clean and tidy although the feeling from the online photos gave us a sense that it would feel a little more 'upmarket' or polished and in reality it was slightly more 'budget' although not much you could put a finger on. Bed very comfortable, adequate kitchenette, lovely balcony with view. The fan switch in the bathroom was falling out of the wall so didnt work and the shower sprayed water all over the bathroom but not huge issues. The reception is also not manned most of the time. We tried texting her a late check out request on the 24/7 cellphone number she gave us but were ignored and she said when we checked out yhe next day that she's tried to call us but I never had a missed message. A nice place to stay that is right next to the beach and perfect for people who won't be spending much time indoors. We had a nice stay all in all.
