AI Summary
Achillion Palace's standout feature is its friendly staff and convenient location near the beach and old town. The rooftop pool with stunning views and daily room cleaning are also highlights. However, refurbishment is needed.

We had a really lovely stay here. The staff were really friendly and happy to help with any inquiry: a special shout-out to Kostos who we had some great chats with and who helped us to book a day trip to the Samaria Gorge and made sure we knew where to go to get the bus the morning of the trip. The room was clean and spacious. Pool days were good and the staff were always happy to help us move the umbrellas or for any refreshments. The breakfast spread was fantastic - loads of choice and regularly replenished. Location was great, only a few minutes walk to the beginning of the old town and the start of the harbour. A great choice for a trip to Rethymno!

We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The room was spacious with a comfy bed and brilliant air con. The bathroom was a little dated but functional. Great selection at breakfast, loved the fresh fruit. The staff made this hotel excellent! They were all so friendly, house-keeping were fabulous - room always lovely, staff at breakfast always welcoming and kpet everything really clean, and big mention to Kostas, and Popi on reception who were super friendly and helpful, including making us reservations at the local farm and restaurant recommendations. Silia at the pool bar was also AMAZING! She works so hard, and makes brilliant coffees, cocktails and food! The pool was always so tidy and we managed to get a sun bed each day, it might get a bit busier in the peak months but they will try their best to bring out more loungers. Loved the view from the pool! Excellent location, short walk into the old town brimming with elegant shops and a fantastic selection of restaurants. As well as a short walk to the beach, full of sun loungers and cafe options! We had a late flight and I had hoped to keep the room to the evening as rooms were available but the rate to keep the room was too expensive, nonetheless we were able to use the pool all day which has a shower and toilets, and luggage kept in the foyer. Overall highly recommend this stay.

Pleasent staff, clean room. Nice pool area and bar at the roof. Breakfast was decent. Good location, 5 min walk to beach and 10-15 min walk to “old town”

Great hotel in good area to explore. Hotel clean and staff very friendly. Pool on roof and pool bar and the gardens are very nice. The breakfast was good but lacked a bit of choice. The rooms good size but bathrooms small and need a bit of renovation. Overall a good stay in Réthymnon.

The hotel has an excellent location, so the beach, the old town and the restaurants were all within walking distance. Unfortunately, we didn't like the hotel's facilities, as many things are in need of renovation and weren't always cleaned properly. Nevertheless, we would recommend the hotel to travelers who want to reach everything on foot and only want to use the hotel for sleeping purposes.

This hotel is what would come up if You searched for ”best hotel in Greece”. The staff is betond friendly and makes You feel at home and at ease, when we went down for our first breakfast they joked when we asked where the breakfast is that it is ”3km down the road” and being somewhat asleep still I almost fell for it, before they broke out into laughter, escorted us to a beautiful garden table and made sure we knew were everything was. Regarding the breakfest, it is the perfect start to the day, everything is so delicious and You get the feeling You have everything You need for the ultimate hotel breakfast. When it came to the rooms they are so well kept, the nice staff even sorted the cords of my girlfriends curler and hairdryer. Whenever we needed some information or guidance they provided us with everything and made sure we knew were to go and what to see. The staff is so nice and its the little things they did, like the jokes, the sorting of the chords and the friendliness over all that makes this hotel the best one by far! Words cannot describe how thankful we are for making this holiday so incredible! Kiitos paljon, from room 207!

The whole place smells like cigarettes, bathroom had what appeared to be black mold under the bathtub & there was hair on the floor from previous guests. All that being said the bed was really comfy & the area was close to all the fun restaurants but far enough away to be quiet
