Aristea Hotel Rethymnon

Vivi was amazing

Extremely helpful staff. All minor issues we had were solved in no time :) Nice breakfast with selection of local products. Shower available after check-out is very convenient when you have late flight and want to use last day to its fullest :) There are many nice restaurants nearby.

Breakfast area a bit to small for all the guests. Sometimes you need to wait for a table.

I have really good opinion for this hotel due to several factors. First, the hotel is in ideal location. Not really in the town centre which is nice since it does not have the typical traffic and noise. However, is not that far, so someone can go to the city centre by walking along the coastline, which is highly reccomended. Near the hotel there are several shops, supermarket, bars, restauraunts, bakeries etc. The room was really spacious, clean with a nice seaview. To be honest I did not spend that much time there, however, the whole facilities looked great. The other thing that I want to highlight are customer services and the reception They are excellent, really polilte, kind and always with a big smile. I want in paricular to give my credits to a receptionist, named Vivi I think. I would definetely like to stay there again, both I and my girlfriend enjoyed our stay.

Nothing special. The only thing that I can mention, which is not responsibility of the hotel and it is temporary, is the construction of a new square which takes place next to the hotel, which maybe is even finish at the moment that i write this reivew. Personally I did get bothered by that since there was not any significant noice, and it did not even spoil the seaview that I had.

Wonderful hotel located and at the end of Rethymnon riverfront. Exceptionally clean & cozy, room service every day, good breakfast served at the beautiful inner courtyard, hotel staff is very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended!

There is construction site just next to the hotel (building a monument). A bit dusty & noisy, not a big deal but if you're not set on seeing anything like that, then be warned. Also please add a shower holder in the bathroom, this makes things a lot more comfortable!

Hotel's location is excellent: sea is 50 m away, no need to cross any roads, view from our balcony was fantastic - sea from one side and mountains from the other. Swimming pool was very convenient as well. We are very thankful to the hotel team for their warm, friendly, hospitable and very helpful attitude! Special thanks to Vivi, Viki, Zambia and barman. Cleaning team is also doing their job perfectly - it is a very clean and bright hotel. Breakfast was super. There are also small kitchenettes in the rooms - if you prefer to cook yourself. We also liked the fact, that the hotel is located on the edge of Rethymno town - outside the noise and crowds. It takes 30-40 minutes to walk or 7 minutes on the bus to the town centre. There are plenty of nice restaurants and cafes around the hotel. Especially we recommend "1+1" restaurant ( probably the best restaurant we were in from all our experience ), and "Klimataria", they are super efficient and very-very tasty! There are also plenty supermarkets around in a case you forgot your sunhat or anything else.

Maybe the mattresses on the additional beds/sofas could be changed for softer ones. Just information for new-comers: the entrance to the sea is very rocky, if you have sailing shoes - good idea to bring them, they are also sold in nearby supermarkets for 6-7 euro.
