Phaedra Suites

This is a beautiful boutique hotel with 6 lovingly decorated spacious rooms with kitchens. The owners designed it as if it were their own home with quality beautiful furnishings and a very comfortable bed. Its right on the border of old town so you are in old town within 2 mins walk. It has a stunning peaceful courtyard with a small enjoyable pool, with views of the old town buildings. Really a perfect hotel and Agapi the host is a lovely woman who looks after you. She is very glamorous as well. :-)

Everything was great. The rooms in the front are on a busy but fun street so depends on what you want - views of the pool courtyard or bustling street which also means you will hear some traffic. The rooms are sound-proofed which helps but be aware of this difference.

The location was perfect: close to the Old Town and to the beach. The place is spotlessly clean! Agapi was available to help us and was so kind and friendly. We loved everything

Nothing. Everything was great!

Good room, plenty of space - nice lounge area.The owner is very charming and welcoming and has a lot of helpful advice to give.It is a good location for those who wish to go out in the old town.

Our room was at ground level on the side of a busy and noisy road. All the other rooms seemed charming with a view on the yard but ours was a lot less nice and we didn't feel like opening the curtains as the view was on a busy road. There is no information in the description that lets you know that it is on a busy road so I was very surprised when we arrived... it's not nice when you feel some information has been hidden from you.

No breakfast as this is considered an apartment hotel. But the location was superb, near the old Venetian port with many restaurants, shops and coffee houses.

We only wished we could have stayed longer!!

We loved everything. The location was great. The design, cleanliness and everything else was just perfect. The windows are double making sure, there is no street noise coming in. The bed was very comfortable. The design of the bathroom was just gorgeous. The room had every appliance you could want and equipped kitchen. The outside was very nice, with the pool. Would def stay longer and will def come back.

We actually wanted to extend our stay after seeing how great it was but were unfortunately not given a good deal, even though we were prepared to change the room and the vacant room was actually already paid for, since someone else left early. Not a big deal, just a shame.

possible noise from street just outside the room

Fantastic location in the lovely old town. Short walk to everything including cafes, bakeries, supermarket, restaurants, bus stop, beach! Beautiful, comfortable, spotless suite with good Wi-Fi. The host was so helpful,kind, pleasant and friendly. Thank you for everything! Would highly recommend for a lovely stay.

Location was great.Walking distance to town, shops and beach.

Lovely welcome from Agapi (whose name means Love, and she was lovely!). She was very helpful, as we had to unload luggage from the car in the narrow one-way street, holding up the traffic. Find a large free car park near to the stadium, and a seven minute walk back. Lovely interior, everything beautifully presented, cool, clean, with cold water and coffee facilities in the public area. Apartment was overlooking the patio and small pool, up against the original old walls of the town. We had a good sized balcony, great sized living area, great sized sleeping are (up stairs to a large mezzanine). Plenty of wardrobes, comfy chairs, decent sized kitchen area with all the necessary facilities - and a nice chilled bottle of wine on arrival. The outside area was well kept and very clean, with lots of big square sun shades, a few recliners, and chairs and tables. We were a little concerned about traffic noise - the road alongside did get a bit busy during the day, but we were out at that time so no problem, and there was no noise at all in the patio/pool area. The road was very quiet at night - we didn't hear it at all, so no worries on that front. Very easy access into the old town, and good advice on where to buy decent bread & pastries (yes, we had takeaway spanakopita from them every day - delicious. Look for Niktaris Bakery Ο Φούρνος του Νύκταρη, just opposite the old arched Guora gate Μεγάλη Πόρτα). On our departure, we also did the reverse from arrival, loading luggage into the car whilst holding up the traffic for two minutes, but again, drivers understand the issue and were very accommodating. Overall, very good indeed, very relaxing, and we will definitely go there again.

I am unable to think of any negatives whatsoever. Note that there is no lift but that's not a problem really!

The lady was very nice. Very well situated close to the old town (shops, restaurants) and to the beach.

Very friendly reception, convenient to town and 15 walk minutes to the beach. Very comfortable beds and comfortable seating area. Air-con quiet. Good Wi-Fi.

Electric toaster would be useful.

Beautiful place. Apartment comfortable & clean.Small pool area was fabulous.Owner so accommodating & helpful.Great location for the old town.

Nothing not to like

Centrally located but nevertheless quiet; air conditioned. Lots of charm and tastefully furnished and fitted. Wonderful helpful and unobtrusive host. Would certainly recommend and would certainly re-book.

Beautiful and quiet place in the heart of Rethymno, charming and relaxing. The room was gorgeous, the lady incredibly attentive. There is a little swimming pool in a lovely indoor terrace. Very recommended, specially for couples avoiding busy and noisy rooms.

Everything was perfect! The room was beautiful, excellent location near the old town and not far from the beach. A big thank you to our hostess who gave us great info and tips to enjoy our stay :)

This hotel is a real gem and it really exceeded our expectations. Our room was spacious and extremely clean and the lovely balcony facing the garden and pool was a real plus. The garden is lovely and peaceful, with no noise coming from the main road. We also spent an entire afternoon in the pool which, although small, it is a very relaxing option for the hottest days. The owner of the hotel is very friendly, careful and helpful. We highly recommend this hotel!

Phaedra Suites is an exceptional property. It is right at the heart of the Old Town of Rethymno, very close to shops, restaurants and landmarks such as the Venetian Fortezza, the Old Venetian Harbour and others. Our suite was very elegant with traditional touches and had all the necessary amenities. The hostess is very welcoming, friendly and hospitable. She gave us recommendations on places to visit in Rethymno and she even provided a welcome drink.

The place is beautifully designed, immaculate clean, the room was spacious and comfortable. The inner court with the small but pleasurable pool is a gem. The location is great, just at the hart of things, 6-8 min to the old harbour. The host Agipa is welcoming, attentive and helpful.

In my opinion the air conditioning was not installed in the right place; despite the air conditioning it was too warm to sleep.
