Guest Reviews
- ChazBNE (10/5): EXCEPTIONAL. We wish we had booked for more than two nights only. - Polyxenia Suites is in the "beating heart" of Rethymno's historic Old Town, surrounded by a charming network of narrow streets, local boutique shops, traditional tavernas, and lively bars just steps from the front door of this amazing property, which our very gracious, helpful, and wonderful host Giannis grew up in. Polyxenia Suites is immaculately clean, and obviously well-maintained. Our bed was quite comfortable. Giannis took our bags to our room on the second floor, which was a great help, and most appreciated (despite being both fit and strong for my age - 67 - it's not as easy getting my wife's and my luggage up multiple flights of stairs as it was a couple years ago - thank you Giannis!). For what we paid (having booked months in advance) Polyxenia Suites delivered exceptional value for money. If my wife and I are fortunate to ever return to Rethymno we will absolutely 100% stay again at Polyxenia Suites...we can't say enough good things about our experience. There wasn't a single thing not to like.
- Made (10/5): The best choice! - The hospitality of the host, best location and superb apartment
- debra (9/5): - The location in the old town cannot be better, everything at your doorstep. If you have a car be aware that it has to be parked outside the old town and you'll need at least 10 minutes walk on cobbles with your luggage.
- Grietje (9/5): Zalig verblijf in het mooie Rethymno! - De locatie en ontvangst met cake! Eigenlijk was alles prima!
- a6c1cdfbc79273c017527366977b41ab (10/5): - What a great stay we had at Polyxenia Suites. We were lucky enough to stay on the top floor with absolutely incredible views of Rethymno’s Old Town. There were great restaurants nearby, and I can’t say enough about our Host Giannis. He brought us cake that his mother made and was very responsive to our inquiries. He’s an incredible soul who made us feel right at home. We highly recommend Polyxenia Suites and would definitely book again!
- Keno (9/5): -
- Georgia (10/5): - Πρόκειται για ένα κατάλυμα άριστο σε όλα. Πολύ καθαρό, προσεγμένο, άνετο, με ωραία διακόσμηση και σε εξαιρετικό σημείο. Το σημαντικότερο, ωστόσο, και αυτό που κάνει την διαφορά, είναι η άριστη φιλοξενία από τον οικοδεσπότη κύριο Γιάννη. Ευγενέστατος, γεμάτος διάθεση και πρόθυμος να βοηθήσει, ενω πάντα απαντούσε άμεσα σε ό,τι χρειαζόμασταν. Στο δωμάτιο βρήκαμε να μας περιμένει σπιτική ρακί και σπιτικό κέικ, το οποίο έκανε ακόμα πιο ευχάριστη τη διαμονή μας, καθώς δείχνει πραγματικό ενδιαφέρον. Παρόλο που είχαμε ένα πρόβλημα προς το τέλος της διαμονής μας (το οποίο προκαλέσαμε εμείς), ο κύριος Γιάννης παρέμεινε πρόσχαρος και ευγενέστατος, δίνοντας περισσότερο σημασία στο αν περάσαμε εμείς καλά, κατά τη διαμονή μας. Μακάρι να μπορούσα να βάλω περισσότερα αστέρια, καθώς τα 10 φαίνονται λίγα συγκριτικά με την άριστη εμπειρία που είχαμε. Σας ευχαριστούμε για όλα και ανυπομονούμε να επιστρέψουμε στο κατάλυμα σας σε μελλοντικές εξορμήσεις .
- VARVARA (10/5): Highly recommended! - The Cretan hospitality in its finest! Nothing to comment
- Sari (10/5): We were with everything on our stay and we’ll definitely be back! - The host Giannis is amazing, and the room spacy and beautiful. The view from the balcony is spectacular, and the location is just perfect. -
- GEORGIOS (8/5): - Τα βράδια της Παρασκευής και του Σαββάτου ήταν έως τις 04.00 τα ξημερώματα χωρίς ύπνο απο την μουσική και τους περαστικούς που πραγματικά ήταν λες και φωναζαν μέσα στο δωμάτιο. Ως Μηχανολόγος μηχανικός ειλκρινά σας προτείνω να κανετε θερμοπρόσοψη, έχετε διπλά τζάμια στα παράθυρα αλλά ειλικρινά δεν αρκούν.
- Dina (10/5): Just perfect! - Polyxenia Suits are located in the heart of the old town, everything you think of is nearby. You can step out and have a hot coffee with pastries or ice cream or gyros just underneath of the suits before exploring the neighborhood . We contacted Giannis in advance with request whether we can leave our luggage in the premises before checking-in. It just happen our flight landed earlier and taxi brought us to the suits 1.5 hours before agreed time. Simply dialled Giannis phone number and were let in. We checked-in early into sparlking suit and were offered pastries baked by Giannis mother. There were tea, coffee, water and even a bottle of rakia as a warm welcome from the host. Next day our room was cleaned and a fresh homebaked coconut cake was meeting us with its aroma :-). Giannis was very kind and offered us to stay after check out time as our flight was late in the evening. Huge thank you, Giannis! we hope to be back :-) Cannot think of any
- Lucie (9/5): Très bien ! - Giannis nous a très bien accueilli (avec le raki de son père et le gâteau de sa mère), mais aussi avec son sourire et sa bonne humeur. Giannis nous a bien conseillé sur plusieurs restaurants.
L’appartement était propre, bien agencé et idéalement situé. Pour quelqu’un qui recherche le calme absolu, l’appartement donne sur une rue vivante, ce qui peut être gênant. Mais cela ne nous a pas particulièrement dérangé pour dormir.
- Lori (9/5): -
- Athanasia (7/5): Lovely - Location was amazing - downtown old city with a balcony and private - views were great. Lots of stairs no elevator - we were on the third floor, with the extra stairs we were on the 4th floor walk up over 64 steps. Not ideal if you have leg issues. It was difficult walking up and down a few times a day. If you have a baby its not ideal.
- Andrew (10/5): Room was clean with all the facilities we required - Well situated for town centre Nothing all was good
- vanesa (10/5): - La ubicacion y la habitacion era muy amplia Nada
- Maya (10/5): - Апартамента е много чист, перфектно местоположение в идеалния център на стария град, има тераса към малко площадче. Собственика Янис е много любезен и отзивчив. Имаше кафе и коледни сладки🧑🎄. Пак бихме се върнали на същото място защото покрива всичките ни изисквания. Здраве и късмет Янис! Нямам забележки
- Maria (10/5): - Muy bonita habitación, aunque haya estado por trabajo, me pareció ideal para parejas también. La ubicación muy buena y la limpieza súper. Está en el centro historico, en un sitio transitado y puede haber un poco de ruido de la calle por la noche.
- Jean marc (10/5): Propre, plein centre, très bon accueil - L’accueil, plein centre Rien
- Antonia (10/5): Es war toll und wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen - Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet.
Tolles neues Bad.
Kühlschrank (mit Wasser und Kaffeesahne), Wasserkocher, Kaffeemaschine (mit Kaffee und Zucker), Raki und ein selbst gebackener Kuchen zum Empfang. Der Balkon ist völlig ausreichend (2 Stühle und ein kleiner Tisch)
Der Inhaber hat uns sehr sehr herzlich empfangen. Die Matratzen schienen schon etwas durchgelegen gewesen zu sein.
- Claude (10/5): - On a tout aimé
L emplacement de l hôtel dans la vieille ville mais très accessible depuis le port
L accueil très sympathique de notre hôte
et de son épouse
Un jeune couple charmant et très chaleureux
La taille de la chambre et la terrasse immense avec une vue imprenable sur la vieille ville
Un cake fait maison et un raki produit par la famille en guise de bienvenue comme seuls les grecs savent le faire.
Tout était parfait
Je recommande vivement cet hôtel Rien à signaler
- Elizabeth (10/5): Super place to stay in centre of Rethymno old town - Location is great. My son and I have been here twice and would happily return again. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and Giannis is an excellent host. Nothing
- ROBYN (8/5): A very pleasant place to stay to absorb the delightful atmosphere of Rethymno. - A fantastic Location. On the top floor overlooking the old town. A wrap around deck meant that you had a great view of the colorful lanes below and could take in the atmosphere whilst being very private. As per usual in Greece, the bed linen was too short for the bed and had only two pillows. But the bed itself was very comfortable.
- Patricia (10/5): Beautiful location, comfortable, clean and extremely friendly and helpful hosts. - An amazing welcome and very understanding about our delayed arrival. Everyone was so helpful, cheerful and friendly. The room was very clean and great care was taken into making our stay relaxed and pleasant. Location was right in the middle of the Old Town which had many lovely advantages. The views were also lovely, giving us many aspects of the immediate area and especially sitting on the balcony when the sun set over the distant mountains. There was absolutely nothing to dislike.
- Ivanka (10/5): - amazing location in the old town
- Valentinas (8/5): -
- tim (9/5): - Fabulous location. Host helped with luggage and extremely helpful.
- Amber (10/5): Amazing place to stay for a few nights in Rethymno - Location and warm welcome! Also the room is just beautiful! -
- Marcel (9/5): Für Uns war die Unterkunft perfekt. - Lage ist sehr zentral um alles zu erkunden und zum Essen zu gehen.
- taru (9/5): -
- DIMITAR (9/5): За Поликсения⁹ - Местоположението отлично.Чисто,удобно,приятно.
- Ievgenii (10/5): - Вид, условия Скрипела кровать
- AMAYA (9/5): - La habitación espaciosa y limpia. Una ubicación excelente en el centro de la ciudad, en una calle muy animada. La atención del personal realmente muy buena.
- Marcus (9/5): - Alles. Der nette, zuvorkommende Kontakt zu Giannis. Der Kuchen. Der Raki. Der Kafè. Der Balkon. ?
Hier gibt es nichts, nicht zu gefallen.
Außer, vielleicht, dass ich von dem vorzüglichen Raki gern noch eine kleine Flasche mit nachhause genommen hätte ;-)
- Alexandru (10/5): -
- Efstratia (8/5): - The room was very clean .The hosts had cake for us ,which was very nice ,thank you.No complaints about the propertyat all One thing I would like to mention though was ,there were 3 adults and we only had the one key to share amongst us, which made it a little difficult if one wanted to stay out later or go out .Mr Giannis was very detailed in his messages about where to park,which was VERY helpful.He also sent us a message for the morning of departure which was great as we were able to bring the car into the old town to load our luggage.
- Jason (10/5): -
- Nicole Mathis (7/5): - Tolle Ausstattung mit viel Liebe zum Detail!
Super freundlicher Gastgeber, der jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite steht und gefühlt rund um die Ihr erreichbar ist.
Sehr sauber!
Hausgemachten Kuchen (der hervorragend war!) Kaffee, Wasser,Raki war zum herzlichen Empfang schon gerichtet im Zimmer. Einziger Wehmutstroofe, den ich bei Buchung übersehen habe. Hotel liegt mitten in der Altstadt, wie viele andere auch, allerdings sind hier die Restaurants bzw. v.a. die Bars in der Umgebung lange offen und der Publikumsverkehr entsprechend.
Bei geschlossenen Fenstern machbar, dann muss aber die Klimaanlage die ganze Nacht laufen....und wenn man das nicht mag, braucht es offene Fenster/Balkontüren und dann ist man einfach mitten drin im Geschehen.....
Wenn man auch Party macht oder Klima an kein Problem ist, dann ist man gut aufgehoben dort.
- Ceri (9/5): - The central location and the attention to detail including homemade cake and raki! Thank you! The walk from the car park
- veronique (10/5): Rethymnon est vivant. On s’y sent bien - Établissement très bien placé dans la vieille ville. Appartement bien agencé. Excellente literie. Terrasse très agréable.
Giannis est très accueillant : Raki de papa excellent, cake de maman délicieux.
Merci
- Antonio (7/5): - La posizione è molto centrale e la vista dal balcone è sicuramente una tra le migliori del posto. L'ospite estremamente disponibile e gentile. Le tende non sono oscuranti e avendo molte finestre, già alle prime ore dell'alba c'è molta luce che filtra nella stanza rendendo difficile dormire. L'estrattore del bagno è da cambiare, molto rumoroso.

I would recommend this property in a heartbeat.

- Jennifer (10/5): - We absolutely loved our stay at Polyxenia Suites! Giannis was such a kind and gracious host. He was very flexible with us and always quick to respond. We loved the personal touches: delicious coffee and homemade wine and cake from his mother and family. The view of the city is beautiful and the AC was a life saver. We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation in Crete and look forward to staying here again in the future.
- Denis (10/5): Quality suite in an ideal position in the heart of the Old Town. - Exceptional suite on the first floor, with two balconies. Perfect for people watching and a great position within the old town of Rethymno.
Everything you’d need is provided and is quality. Towels are soft, bed is really comfortable and the shower is large.
Giannis provided two bottles of water, a sample of (his father’s) raki, and a lovely slice of cake (his mother’s).

- Rosie (10/5): Beautiful room with everything you need. - Located in the heart of the old town and a short walk to the parking station.
- Ginette (9/5): Superb - Being in the centre of the tourist walkiing areas. I enjoy a smaller facility rather than a large hotel , Noise at night. Light on the outside wall which was shining in our window.
- Raechung (10/5): - Great location in old town. Walkable to all attractions, restaurants and shopping. Spacious room with a balcony overlooking the city and great mosque. Our host is extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
- Debra (10/5): Bueatiful hotel in superb location - Central location very clean and comfortable nice bed linen the rooms were immaculate done to a high standard There was nothing not to like maybe not suitable for people with mobility issues as there were a lot of steps to get to reception
- Mavrakis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carlo (8/5): Very good -
- Kath (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lia (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly host, very nice appartement
- Theresa (10/5): Central location in old town, very gracious host, and good value if you don’t need a large place or kitchen. There is a - clean, comfortable, good location, balcony, host met us and helped carry our suitcases up the stairs, and daily housekeeping, as it was a small apartment with people occupying two bedrooms
- Joanne (10/5): I'd give it 11/10 if I could - If I could have given it 11 I would. Giannis our host was superb. We had home made cake (which was made by his mother and was excellent) and Reki and water. The rooms are stunning and central. The beds were comfy and that bathroom so tastefully done. There was nothing you could want for. There was absolutely nothing to dislike. It was all gorgeous.
- Joanne (10/5): Exceptional - Aswsome host. 2 rooms and both exceptional. Hence 2 reviews All beautiful

- Yujie (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Elizabeth (10/5): Great accommodation in a great location. - Wonderful location and view of the old town.
Really good to have an extra room - mum and a teenage boy - we had plenty of space. Easy to walk to free parking locations. Plenty of good places to eat nearby.
A new property that is well looked after and cared for. We are very happy that we stayed there. Nothing.
- Linda (10/5): A stylish apartment in the heart of the action middle of the action - Polyxenia Suites was hands down the best place we stayed in our month long holiday in Greece and Turkey. The room was large, well appointed, light filled and positioned overlooking a vibrant street. The balcony was a treat at the end of the day watching the passing parade, and the double glazed windows made it quiet at night.
Our host Giannis has not missed one detail in his presentation. From the wine, home made cake and raki he offers at the beginning of the stay to the comfortable bed and well appointed bathroom. It felt luxurious and was so relaxing to stay there. Giannis also went beyond the call of duty with any recommendations or questions we had. We loved our time there and will be back. Nothing
- Fryni (9/5): Superb - Very polite and helpful staff and great location.
- Michael (10/5): Small boutique property within the old town steps from everything. - Amazing property within the old town with a decent sized room and an incredible wrap around balcony.If you can’t do multiple flights of stairs (many to the 3rd floor) or your a large person( tiny shower).you may have difficulty with this property.Giannis is an absolute gem..always there to make sure you have anything and everything you’ll need for the perfect stay! Nothing
- Sebastian (10/5): Beautiful location with one of the nicest hosts! - This is a lovely family-run hotel. Giannis, the owner, was incredibly kind and very helpful with any questions we had. He called us a taxi and even took us to the pick-up spot with our luggage. We would definitely book Polyxenia Suites again!
- Singer (10/5): Exceptional - Great location& and a great host! The room is spacious and very clean& the beds ante very comfortable. Great value for money.
- Riley (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful place in a great location. Had everything needed and was very clean. The host was also great and helpful. Gifted homemade cake and raki, both were excellent.
- John (10/5): Exceptional - Great location in the heart of old town. Sound proofing adequate for the busyish street, but no way as busy or noisy as Chania. Great views from the top balcony. Host was very friendly and generous, and present each day in the middle of the day (which is refreshing compared to the hands of style apartments). Host even met us personally at 22:00 to get us checked in and settled on the first night. Can't recommend enough if you want something alternative to a hotel, but knowing someone will be around at some point each day. Nothing.
- Ellis (10/5): excellent host and accomodations - excellent host so friendly and welcoming...property should be a 5 star in my mind...it is in the centre of activity right beside an open square and right below all the restaurants and shops...lovely balcony on 2 sides which was great for early morning coffee and at night to watch the activity below
- Victoria (10/5): A lovely stay in Rethymno - Our host was fantastic! He helped us settle into the apartment with a sweet and local raki! The apartment has beautiful views over the local area and beyond. it suited our group of 3 middle aged ladies who like comfort. nothing it was lovely
- Isabelle (8/5): - All
- Crystal (10/5): - The hospitality was fantastic, the room was spacious and clean, and the area is great! Parking was a bit tough, but that goes with staying in such a great location.
- Natalie (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location with a great view from the balcony overlooking the square. Very high standard of hospitality provided by owner Giannis. Homemade cake was one of the best we have tasted and Giannis went out his way to leave another treat for us which was greatly appreciated. Room very spacious and kept to a high standard with daily housekeeping. Would definitely come back and recommend to others. No comment - literally perfect!
- Rodicutza80 (10/5): Such a nice hotel with a lovely host for a great stay in Rethymno - Giannis was an exceptional host, he would make our day brighter when we met him in the morning! He is very attentive and willing to help - he assisted us with the taxi to the airport and he replied to all our questions. The hotel is very good value for the money: great location, very clean and right in the middle of the city! Nothing that I can think of at the moment.
- amie (10/5): Central location & great host - Really friendly host, loved the extra touches of wine & home made cake. Room is nice with an excellent balcony, only negative is the bed isn't the best I've ever slept on.
- Stella (10/5): Exceptional - This set of suites is in the centre of the old town. Perfect position. Beautifully decorated room with extra large double bed. All furnishings are 1st class. And the bathroom is immaculate and large. Great shower, lovely large balcony. Small fridge and tea and coffee machines, with all cups dishes and supplies. And the owner provides a very tasty cake and small bottles of raki and red wine. Very lovely touches of kindness and care. We highly recommend ! Nothing
- Mariella (10/5): Exceptional - An amazing stay with a great host! We had an incredible experience staying at Polyxenia Suites in Rethymno! The location was perfect and the home was spotless. Upon our arrival, we found some delicious homemade cake, Raki, and local Wine. The host, Giannis, went out of his way to offer great local tips and was super responsive to our questions. The check-in process was smooth and easy and we felt at home from the moment we arrived. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and would love to stay here again in the future.
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - Gannis, the owner, is very good . He went above and beyond to make sure your stay was 100%.
On arrival, there was homemade cake, wine, and Raki. Housekeeping each day. The area is very lively with busy restaurants and bars. Shops and more shops. The little streets are amazing, Rethymno is a very friendly place. Air conditioning in room, soundproof you can hear the bars for a little while on an evening but close the door and it's fine. I would highly recommend that little hotel, We will definitely be returning to this hotel sometime. Keep up the good work, Giannis. You should be proud. Thank you again. Rachel.and Steve 👌
- George (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable room and very clean. The view from our room was exceptional, you could see the Fortezza castle and the beautiful town of Rethymno. The location is awesome, in a central square where you can find every thing you need for food, drink and shop in general.
The best part is the hospitality we experienced from the locals and Giannis always kind and with a smile, keen to help us with whatever we needed.
- Max (10/5): Great location and room - wonderful host! - Wonderfully located in the old town, great balcony and renovated room / bathroom.
The host Giannis was very friendly and set the tone for the whole time in Rethymno which was equally as fantastic. You’d be silly not to book! Nothing :)
- Theodore (10/5): Excellent apartments in the heart of old town - Our stay at Polyxenia Suites was perfect! Great central location in the heart of old town. Owner is extremely friendly and assisted us throughout our stay.
Highlights, the assistance with carrying our luggage to our rooms, homemade wine, raki and cake from yiayia awaited us on arrival. The fridge was stocked with cold water and the beds were extremely comfortable.
Rooms are in very central location but we couldn’t hear any noise.
Highly recommended! Quite a lot of stairs but we were assisted checking in and out with our luggage so not a problem
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Caroline (10/5): Exceptional - The location was great. Extremely nice people.
