Guest Reviews

• Sarah (10/5): If you are visiting Crete you should definitely check out this amazing hotel - Lovely boutique hotel with great size well designed bedrooms. Fantastic building with great history and spotless. Brilliant friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Great selection of food for breakfast and dinner N/A
• Guy (10/5): -
• JonnyMog (9/5): - Beautiful unique style rooms, kept clean. Lovely bath with a view. Enjoyed breakfast on the seafront. The 'heated' pool was a bit colder than I thought it would be but was good to have as an option as the sea was too rough to swim in when we were there. It would have been more enjoyable if it was a little warmer.
• Anne Marie (10/5): Great location and being right on sea was beautiful too. Staff lovely and breakfast fabulous - Location on the beach
• Jan (9/5): Was zoals op paradijs - Zicht op zee en zo proper De drukke weg naast de deur
• Sarah (9/5): - Lage, Terrasse, Freundlichkeit des Personals. Grüsse gehen insbesondere an Katya, die uns beim Frühstück sehr zuvorkommend bedient hat. nichts
• Jörg (9/5): -
• Tuovinen (10/5): Ihana hotelli💗 - Olimme hotellin lokakuun lopussa superior sviitissä viikon ja nautimme todella olostamme. Huone oli kaunis, sänky oli hyvä. Aamiainen oli herkullinen.Meren kohina kuului huoneeseen ja näköala oli upea merelle. Mereen pääsi uimaan kun otti muutaman askeleen. Matka vanhaan kaupunkiin oli aika pitkä, mutta meitä se ei haitannut, koska tykkäämme kävellä. Sijainti oli esikaupunkialueella ja matka vanhaan kaupunkiin oli suht pitkä ja maisema välillä hieman epäsiisti
• Maximilien (7/5): - Personnel au petit soin très agréable. Nous avons passer un très bon moment que se soit le soir sur la terrasse ou même le matin au petit déjeuner. Sur les photos nous avions le spa mais pas sur le réel et nous étions sensé avoir vu sur la mer et nous étions un peu plus vu sur la rue.
• Rodica (10/5): -
• Basil (10/5): Relaxing, renewing and very comfortable and enjoyable - Location was great. Beautiful, clean, on the ocean, lovely rooms and great beds and fantastic showers. The breakfast was also fabulous. I liked everything
• Joleu (10/5): - Professional staff, modern, great Restaurant nearby
• Joleu (10/5): - Big suites, great Restaurant nearby
• Bettina (10/5): Jederzeit wieder - Sehr schönes Boutique Hotel, liebevoll eingerichtet, in exponierter Lage direkt am Wasser. Die Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Kein eigener Parkplatz sodass sich die Parkplatzsuche für einen Mietwagen schwierig erweist.
• Mark (7/5): Good Stay in a nice hotel - Great room (Superior Suite with Sea View) with a great view. The location right by the sea was good The beach wsa small, but enough for what we needed Parking was good, we were able to find spaces on the side roads The location was on a busy road an outside of the main town. Our room was above the kitchen and dining facilities room and so at night it was noisy.
• Michel (7/5): Bof mais il y a pire - Au départ je voulais mettre une mauvaise note car l’accueil n’était pas terrible (le Monsieur n’est pas très chaleureux): bon j’aurais dû voir qu’il n’y a pas de parking, mais il n’y a même pas de zone où s’arrêter pour laisser ses valises. Et la route est très fréquentée. Impossible de s’arrêter devant. Ensuite le Monsieur nous dis en gros de nous débrouiller et ne donne aucun conseil. Ensuite nous avons pris la suite en duplex. Il faut prendre la suite côté EST car celle côté OUEST n’a pas de terrasse (pour le même prix. Mais sur la photo c’est celle à l’EST). Il y a une douche/WC minus, séparé du salon par une porte fenêtre transparente qui n’isole pas du bruit (….) et si on allume la nuit, ça éclaire la chambre forcément. La rue derrière est très bruyante donc évitez les chambres côté piscine (la piscine borde la route). Pour aller en ville c’est 20’ à pied mais c’est très moche, le long de cette route. On ne peut pas suivre la plage (qui est moche aussi). Après, j’ai vu que les hôtels de l’autre côté de la ville (à l’EST) c’était pire: que des grands hôtels avec la route devant, puis la plage puis la mer au loin. Ça faisait pas rêver. Ça me rappelait l’Algarve. Et je me suis dit que finalement cet hôtel n’était pas si mal. D’autant que c’est le seul qui a un restaurant au dessus de l’eau (sympa pour le petit déjeuner). Cf plus haut
• Ott (10/5): Super Hotel und sehr nettes Personal - Die Lage diereckt am Meer. Weiienrauschen zum Einschlafen Nichts
• stefan (10/5): Heerlijk genieten - Fantastische ligging- heerlijk eten in restaurant- super vriendelijk personeel. Top locatie
• Arnould (9/5): Très agréable séjour - Calme et super bien placé, grande chambre à étage et énorme balcon . Pas de place Parking réservée pour la voiture
• Nataliya (9/5): Kontrastreich - Frühstück war gut, schönes Zimmer mit direktem Meeresblick, angenehme Meeresrauschen, Bushaltestelle ganz in der Nähe, um in die Stadt fahren zu können. Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal, vielen Dank für das installieren vom Tresor, die Lunchboxes und das Taxi zum Flughafen! Manchmal hat Wasser aus der Wasserleitung unangenehm gerochen... Der kleine Strand neben dem Hotel war ungepflegt... In der Umgebung sind viele zerstörte Gebäude zu sehen...
• AliceRose2018 (9/5): - Stunning hotel set in a beautifully renovated old factory right on the beach, with excellent attention to detail throughout. Excellent location on a quiet swimming beach away from the crowds, excellent quality amenities, delicious breakfast, and excellent staff. There is a very good restaurant that operates out of the hotel from 2pm, and there are also a number of good tavernas, cafes, and mini markets nearby. Only a 20 minute walk to the old town. Despite backing onto a very busy road you cannot hear any noise but the sea once inside the hotel. The rooms are spacious, airy, and beautifully decorated. The hotel facilities are beautifully decorated with many small touches. A relaxing and luxurious place to stay.
• sylvain (10/5): Excellentes vacances grâce à ce très bel hôtel - Tout : l’emplacement magnifique, la qualité du personnel, le choix des produits pour le restaurant et le petit-dejeuner, le bel aménagement de la chambre et des parties communes. Un établissement à taille humaine qui donne l’impression d’être chez soit. Rien, on a tout aimé
• Kolbrún (9/5): - A small and cozy beach hotel with relaxed and quiet athmosphere. Very clean and beautiful, nice staff and good location only 20 minutes walk to the harbour and old town of Rethymno.
• Jens (5/5): Kann man machen , muss man nicht - Lage am Wasser Laute Straße, beengte Verhältnisse
• giacomo (10/5): -
• Martine (9/5): Zalig genieten en culinaire hoogtes in een prachtig hotel! - Mooi gelegen net buiten Rethimnon. Prachtige kamer met leuk balkon. Het beste restaurant van de hele reis! Echt top! Niets. Enkel het stadje Rethimnon viel ons wat tegen.
• Gus (9/5): -
• tom (10/5): We have had a thoroughly good time and the bed was exceptionally comfortable.. - Our stay was very pleasant and upto expectations, staff were incredibly polite and nothing was to much trouble. Parking is there only issue which they know and the Greek government putting up taxes. !!
• Jaehu (4/5): - Very unsafe location. We had unloaded the luggage on the busy street and carried the luggage up and down the stairs. No staff to help. The receptionist was rude and unpleasant. Loud noises from busy street and the swimming pool is size of hot tub.
• Lyndon (10/5): - Sea view split level suite was excellent. Very clean and the best views. Slight smell from drainage but didn't spoil the holiday. Hotel staff were amazing. Helpful and friendly. The restaurant was run separately so could not charge meals to room. Other restaurants nearby. Would recommend Cabo. Lovely views, food and staff. However, breakfast was included so no probs there. Enjoyed the varied buffet breakfast. Pool is small and on the roadside so noisy at times. Small beach area for the hotel but we had a lovely patio outside the room. 20 minute walk into the Old Town along a very busy, noisy main road.
• Annie (9/5): Séjour agréable au calme avec une vue magnifique sur la mer. - Sa belle situation en bord de mer Le professionnalisme et la gentillesse du personnel Le petit déjeuner copieux, varié servi en terrasse avec la mer à nos pieds Tout était parfait sauf l’absence de parking privé, il nous a été difficile de trouver un emplacement proche de l’hôtel
• Alana (9/5): Lovely location - Lovely location, small and friendly hotel right on the beach with good restaurant and an easy 20 minute walk to the old town. Nothing
• Gemma (9/5): - Interior and decor was very nice Beach wasn’t very tidy there was some rubbish directly by the hotel
• Marzec (8/5): - Apartament z pięknym widokiem na morze. W apartamencie bardzo duża przestrzeń, przestronnie, wygodne łóżko, ogólnie bardzo fajne miejsce. Śniadania całkiem niezłe, można się najeść: owoce, jajka, wędliny, sery i warzywa, plus woda i smaczna kawa z ekspresu. Brak parkingu, ale na plus dosyć blisko darmowy parking miejski. Także nie był to problem.
• Thomas (8/5): Charmerende hotel - Super smukt og charmerende hotel, med eneste rigtige minus er strandstykket som “hører” til hotellet, der burde ryddes op på daglig basis, for det er fyldt med skidt. Men tager gerne tilbage, trods alt😊
• Hannah (9/5): We had an absolutely wonderful 10 night stay in Thalassa hotel in September 2025. The staff, the rooms, the restaurant w - Beautifully designed, comfortable, the staff were excellent and the restaurant was amazing. A little far to be able to walk into the town, the pool was small, the beach wasn’t the cleanest.
• Sami Dehaine (10/5): -
• Mary Veslemøy (10/5): - Flott boutique hotel ved havet. Meget gjestfri betjening. Nydelig mat til frokost og i restauranten.
• Pnina (9/5): מלון בוטיק מאוד מיוחד ! - למי שמחפש שקט וסטייל -זה המקום.חדרים גדולים ומפנקים , מלון בוטיק קטן ואינטימי- כ- 10 חדרים בסה"כ.חדר עם נוף לים (מומלץ !) מדהים !!! מסעדה ברמה גבוהה על המים .יציאה מהירה לכביש המהיר והגעה מהירה למגוון חופים ועיירות. שירות הקבלה במלון והמלצרים בארוחת הבוקר וגם במסעדה בערב- מצויין ! 1.מי שמחפש facilities - בריכה ,חוף ים פרטי גדול ומפנק ומרחק הליכה מהמרכז זה לא המקום..ל'מרכז העניינים' והבילויים ולחוף הים המסודר והטיילת של רתימנו צריך לנסוע ברכב כ 20 דקות (יש חניון קרוב למרכז בתשלום שהוא נוח). 2.למלון אין חניה וזה אומר לחפש חניה כל פעם מחדש.יש חניון לא מסודר במרחק של כ 300 מטר מהמלון (עליה :)). 3.למי שמחפש שפע ומבחר בארוחת הבוקר - זה לא המקום.הארוחה נחמדה ומגוונת אבל לא בסטנדרטים של מלון בוטיק גדול. 4.הפתרון שנתנו לנו למקלחת לפני טיסה (טיסה מאוחרת והחזרת החדר עד 12:00) היה לא נעים ,לא נוח ולא מכבד.מחסן עמוס (שהיה פעם ספא) עם מקלחון אבל בלי אפילו מקום להניח את הבגדים ותיק הרחצה .מאוד לא נוח 'להתארגן' לפני טיסה וזה לא סטנדרט המצופה ממלון בוטיק.
• Arina (10/5): -
• Eric (7/5): - Le petit-déjeuner, la carte pour le dîner et le personnel ainsi que la chambre face à la mer. Les remontées d’odeurs de canalisation qui étaient ponctuelles et vraiment nauséabondes.
• Robert (10/5): So wonderful - would go back again and again and again! The staff could not have been more kind and accommodating and we - Gorgeous, unique feel with extreme comfort and beautiful views! All was excellent. It was a small walk into Rethymno which isn’t really an issue.
• Patricia (10/5): UN PEQUEÑO OASIS - Es un hotel maravilloso, todo está perfecto. El servicio es súper amable, el desayuno es perfecto, las vistas son un sueño y la ubicación está genial, a un paseíto de 25 min al centro. Disponible de una playa junto al hotel. Aunque, a primera vista, penséis que no merece la pena, probadla. Es maravillosa, con unas aguas cristalinas en cuanto pasas las piedritas del inicio, muy tranquila. El día que más gente había, hubo 14 personas. No llego a entender cómo no había más gente allí. Una estancia maravillosa. Justo frente al hotel hay un restaurante llamado "PEPPERS" o algo así, es una opción ideal en calidad-precio, si queréis picar algo. Nada, tuvimos una estancia maravillosa.
• Olof Ronny (10/5): We had a great stay and would stay there again - Great rooms and excellent breakfast. The restaurant on the premises was fantastic!! The pictures of the pool are a bit misleading as it is really small. However, with the beach right there that was minor.
• Anna (5/5): Lontana dal vero centro di Rethymno - Si tratta di un edificio antico, tant’è che all’interno delle camere le pareti sono state lasciate con la roccia originaria, ler cui sono sicuramente suggestive. La struttura si trova alla fine di Rethymno, con un oanorama molto bello dalla terrazza del ristorante, che è anche champagneria a picco sul mare. Colazione buona Innanzitutto è lontanissima dal centro, a piedi è più di mezz’ora e non è affatto una passeggiata perchè i marciapiedi sono tutti rivinati, rotti e le macchine sfrecciano pericolosamente. Ció posto, la piscina è una vera e propria pozza, di piccolissime dimensioni, il mare è impratucabile, con tutti sassi e rocce e in quel lunto molto e sempre agitato. Il ragazzo che ci ha accolto alla reception non ci ha dato nessuna informazione, ho dovuto anche chiedere una seconda chiave, visto che all’interno è necessario inserirla per far funzionare luci e aria condizionata. La mia camera aveva il soppalco con la stanza da letto. Tuttavia la scala che portava sopra era proprio sulla consolle con macchinetta del caffè e bicchieri: in sostanza ogni volta che si saliva sopra cadevano dalla scala capelli e sporcizia, a riprova della scaraa pulizia e soprattutto della non felice organizzazione della composizione della stanza. Il tutto per una notte a 250€! No comment!
• Anastasia (10/5): - Great Place!!!
• Olivier (5/5): - Bel Hotel au bord de la mer Les personnes à la réception sont extrêment sympathiques et agréables Elles font le maximum pour aider La chambre vue mer du RDC a une salle de bain et des toilettes inutilisable lors de vents forts (forts refoulement qui innondent tout via les toilettes) et cela est visiblement connu; cela gache totalement le séjour et c'est dommage car l'hotel est vraiment joli, et les personnes vraiment accueillantes.
• Sanchez Barroso (10/5): -
• samuel (5/5): - le duplex est grand, l'hotel est bord de mer pas de balconnet , pas suffisamment de rangement pour une kitchenette inutile
• Paolo (8/5): Eravamo di passaggio ...struttura molto bella e curata. - Ottima la colazione sulla terrazza . La gentilezza dello staff alla concierge. La spiaggia ed i servizi in spiaggia davvero deludenti. Non paragonabili alla struttura dell'albergo.
• Walah (10/5): I liked it !! Kisses and hugs to sophia the cat my sweetheart !!! - The best part of the hotel is my baby sophia the cat !!!!!!!! And the view was amaaaazing !!!!! Maybe a colder AC and a swimming pool.
• Steven (8/5): Really enjoyed our stay and would return. - Excellent location, food really good. Some staff a just going through the motions although most were helpful .What seemed to be the owner just sat there all week and never lifted a finger, he has a lot to learn about hospitality.
• Ben (5/5): The hotel is lovely and the reception staff very friendly, but I wouldn’t stay here again due to feeling like we were in - The property is in a beautiful setting a 30 minute walk from the old town The walk to the old town is down a busy main road and is not very scenic The private beach is very dirty with minimal umbrellas for the number of sun-beds There is no where to lounge around outside of your room - we felt like we were guests of the restaurant attached and getting in there way
• Jonna (10/5): Perfect getaway for few days - This was a perfect location for a few days’ getaway. Nice hotel right by the beach with lovely staff. Can also recommend the hotel restaurant. Five star stay!
• Kokil (10/5): Memorable stay on the waves - Wonderful location! Wonderful amenities in the room. It was a dream to stay here and be lulled to sleep by the sound of the crashing waves, and to wake up to them in the mornings with a beautiful sunset. The breakfast in the patio is delicious and comes with that incredible view and sunrise over the venetian fortress. The bathtub in the room is incredibly luxurious and fun. The couch and the mattress are both so comfortable and lovely to fall asleep on. There is a nice big balcony overlooking the breakfast and restaurant patio to enjoy the sunset from. The staff is warm and kind. Everything was perfect except the parking, which is a struggle everywhere in Rethymno. But since Thalassa is at the edge of town it is actually easier to find parking around 300 m away close to the bus stop just before the town begins.
• Linda (9/5): Superb - great location fabulous views great breakfast
• Amber (8/5): Very good - The views and the bedroom. Our stay was amazing but was at least a 25 min walk into town
• Linda (10/5): Exceptional - beautiful location stunning views lovely restaurant lovely staff
• V721VAchrisv (10/5): Amazing stay and highly recommend. - Stayed their for 7 nights and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The location is great with access direct to the beach and outside the busy tourist areas. The food at the restaurant was arguably the best in the area and a must do. Staff and hospitality are also impeccable.
• ameliarose12345 (10/5): Such a special hotel 💛 - We absolutely loved this hotel! This has been such a special holiday from start to finish. We stayed in the Sea View Suite and it was worth every penny – waking up to those stunning views each morning was unforgettable. The breakfast is beautiful, with plenty of delicious options to enjoy while looking out over the sea. The staff made our stay even more memorable – so friendly, kind and welcoming. They really go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The private beach is a real bonus – peaceful, clean, and perfect for relaxing. It’s about a 30-minute flat walk into town, but the reception team are happy to call a taxi if you prefer – nothing is too much trouble. I also had an in-room massage, and it was genuinely one of the best massages I’ve ever had – such a lovely touch of luxury. The rooms were cleaned to a high standard everyday. The restaurant is incredible – amazing food, great drinks, and a lovely atmosphere. We honestly didn’t want to leave and are already talking about when we can come back. Thank you so much for everything – you made this trip unforgettable! 💛
• Kathryn (9/5): Lovely property near to fabulous Rethymno - The position on the seafront and the big airy room. The only downside was the lack of sun loungers and shade on the beach
• Mike (9/5): We loved it. Great room and lovely beachside spot next to incredible restaurants - Such a beautiful property and very quiet Unfortunately a storm had just come through so the restaurant was closed due to damages. No fault on the hotel’s end, just unfortunate
• hannahhT157FA (10/5): Amazing Hotel! - This hotel is perfect! The rooms are super comfortable and the views from the breakfast area and balcony are phenomenal! Breakfast is tasty and the service was faultless. While there is a busy road outside the hotel, you cannot hear it from the rooms or the breakfast patio area. There is no parking at the hotel but plenty of free public parking nearby which worked just fine. It’s about a 20-25 minute walk into the old town of rethymno which makes for a lovely evening stroll along the sea front. Its location is a perfect middle between Chania and Heraklion allowing for plenty of activities in both areas. We stayed a week but wish it could have been longer! Would highly recommend! 11/10
• Caroline M (10/5): - A perfect stay by the sea. Lovely boutique hotel calm & welcoming. Excellent staff and good breakfast and fabulous restaurant.
• Alexandros (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mrgraver (9/5): Superb - Katerina at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and helpful. It was great, my only issues were that the bathroom was not very well lit and the inner curtains had come off their hooks up top. Both minor. I could not figure out how to access the terrace, but the weather was a bit cold so I didn't want to. I could have asked.
• Paul (10/5): - Beautyfull house with history! Lovely details! Wonderful breakfast place on the seaside! The street outside is very busy and loud, but not in the hotel! The staff is very kind and friendly!
• Angela (8/5): Lovely staff… Katerina and Daria were extremely helpful. - The rooms were large and very comfortable. We were given an upgraded room with a sea view so we were delighted. The small pebble beach was littered with plastic and the surrounding properties looked very run down. A tidy up of the beach would be beneficial.
• Elanor Mae (10/5): - This is a beautiful hotel with excellent, comfy beds, great staff and it's on the sea! The beach nearby is pebbly and it's a 25 minute walk to the old town - not a huge amount to do in the immediate area, but the hotel itself more than makes up for that!
• D'arcy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Krishnpriya (7/5): Good -
• Tea (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ehud (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marius (9/5): Superb -
• Ian (10/5): - Wonderful oceanfront hotel, with a decent restaurant and fantastic breakfast. Spacious and very comfortable rooms with high ceilings and loft bedrooms. We had to leave early in the morning to catch a flight, so the staff packed us a nice breakfast the night before and left it in the mini fridge in our room for us. If you have a rental car, there is no parking at the hotel but there is a free lot a short walk up the road that the staff will direct you to.
• Kolbrún (8/5): Very good - very nice and clean room, great staff and relaxed athmosphere. Beach facility could be better.
• Anna (10/5): Amazing - Excellent There was a lot of litter on the beach outside the hotel
• Nathalie (10/5): Beautiful room, great breakfast, very luxurious, perfect for a romantic getaway - Very luxurious, beautiful room, spacious, great a howler size, love the sink outside bathroom, lots of space, beautiful balcony overlooking the water That it was a 30 minute walk from old town, yet close to some amazing restaurants
• Simon (10/5): Great impulsive stay brought on by the wine being too good in the restaurant! - Our room was incredible… a split level affair with a large sitting area and kitchen downstairs and a very comfortable bedroom upstairs. The shower was fabulous and the separate bath enormous.
• Yvonne (9/5): Very lovely hotel with antique interior - Room was amazing. Nice view but would choose a balcony next time. Parking was quite far away but we were aware this would be the case. Busy road outside the property.
• Robert (10/5): - Tres belle place , le souper etait magnifique et tres romantique avec une table direct sur le bord de l’eau Hotel très charmant, personnel très gentil
• Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rebecca (6/5): Your stay will be very influenced by the room you are allocated. Sea view rooms are far superior - The architecture and dining terrace The bedroom below road level. Bad drain smell
• Juan Carlos (10/5): Sea front suite in Rethymno - I booked a Jr. suite and it is very nicely appointed. The air conditioning works perfectly. The room is maintained nicely and I had a loft bedroom facing the sea with a small balcony overlooking the sea. The decor was very nice with a living area with sofa, cocktail table. The in room safe was not bolted very odd and concerning they need to correct that. I had two bathrooms one on the main level with large shower and one in the loft bedroom a large circular sinker tub very nice to take a nice hot soak. Breakfast was very nice buffet with a large sweet and savoury selection including fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, very nice coffee. The lighting in my room is also very nice and thought out. The location is a bit far from Old town Rethymno a 30 minute walk but the local bus, walk or taxi will get you there fast. The upside is you are on the beach and have loungers and a semi private beach at your disposal. There are also some very fine dining options within one block and at the property were you can dine on the ocean and enjoy a very nice sunset.

• Mel (10/5): Perfect hotel nothin to fault - Can highly recommend this place. Cute little boutique hotel located right on the beach great facilities great location and great staff we enjoyed our 4 night stay and would come back for sure It was perfect our favourite place so far on our trip
• Karen (9/5): Wonderful boutique hotel. - Property is absolutely perfect. A peaceful haven right on the shore. Room and food fantastic. Situated right on the outskirts of the city. Not a big deal though as it’s a good walk or buses run every half hour down to the old town and city centre.
• Joan (8/5): We enjoyed a lovely stay at Hotel Thalassa. We loved its proximity to the ocea and beach. We enjoyed delicious food in t - Hotel Thalassa is a beautiful hotel located right on the water. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help you. A few additional sun umbrella at the beach would make a difference.
• Enessa (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was amazing! Very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location.
• Eva (9/5): An unforgettable holiday; relaxation, history, food and hiking! - We very much enjoyed our stay at Thalassas Boutique Hotel! There were so many beautiful spaces to explore in the small hotel. First, our room was beautiful, a real gem! White beams, very tall windows and a balcony all overseeing the sea, not only a fridge but also a little kitchen sink and coffee making facilities, and finally an upstairs comfortable bed besides a bathtub with a view of the sea. Second, a small excellent fish restaurant with an amazing terrasse full of white comfortable wooden chairs, benches and tables of different styles, is certainly a place to feel at home. The food matches this feeling, besides traditional Cretan and Greek dishes even sushi is served. Gourmets should know that this is the right address to become a bit adventures; for example try the seafood moussaka or the risotto with shrimp and Ouzo sauce, they are delicious! Third, the staff made us not only feel at home but seemed to have invited us as cherished guests into their historical building from the 19th century helping us to get to know their culture and the surroundings! We are specifically grateful for the organisation of transport from and to the airport as well as to Rethimno but also cultural (Knossos) and leisure trips (Preveli Beach). The best adventure we were advise to undertake nevertheless was the walk along Myli Gorge with a stop at the tavern; how beautiful! Thalassas Boutique Hotel is certainly worth visiting not only for relaxation but also for excursions and the delicious food! Sometimes there seems to be a problem with the pipes of the sanitary system, a bad odor is coming from them. Hopefully the problem is fixed soon!
• Georgia (9/5): Nice hotel and wonderful view! -
• Steve (10/5): - View to die for!!! Excellent place, amazing boutique hotel with incredible view, sea had to many waves, so we used the little pool, which was great and had an awesome time. Restaurant was top tier, food was great, service was great, seafood moussaka not so much, order anything else, you will thank me for it, will stay here again next year. Great couples place.
• Tracey (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful property and staff is so kind and accommodating. Will recommend to anyone.
• Geoff (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our 6 days. - The location being right on the seafront, is excellent. Although being out of the town, the walk in is easily done in 20 mins. The view of the old fort siting having breakfast, with the waves lapping the wall is just stunning as is it’s location to some of the best restaurants in the town. If there were some ceiling fans in the main part of the hotel it would make it more comfortable, whist waiting for taxi services, as it was extremely hot during the time we stayed.
• André (10/5): - The 2nd floor room was excellent. The view, the peace, the cleanliness, simply a dream. It should have a larger closet, if you're staying for 2 weeks, the current one isn't enough for 2 people. The staff was very helpful and nice, as was the restaurant staff. The seafood was excellently prepared, I have never had better seafood anywhere in Crete. If we go to Crete again, we will definitely stay in the same hotel.
• Gergana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mitchell (10/5): Incredible boutique in Rehtymno if you are looking to get away from the typical large resort hotel style. - The staff of the hotel was amazing as well as the restaurant attached. Very friendly. Room was extremely nice. We loved the loft element being able to come in from a day at the beach or out and about and showering immediately downstairs while keeping the upstairs (bedroom) free of sand, etc. Amazing boutique hotel. 7 Seas Crete (restaurants) Peppers (restaurant) across the street were top notch and have my wife still talking about them.
• Keith (9/5): Excellent and relaxing. - The bedrooms were superb - comfortable quiet and cool. The view is tremendous. Food amazing. Nothing.
