Archipelagos Hotel

Many thanks from our hole family to the hotel Archipelagos staff. You made our holiday perfect. We really loved the view, hotel breakfast and our room, which was modern and big enough for all 4 of us. We felt very welcomed. Many hugs from Finland to the hotel staff. We will come back.

Magnifique hôtel 🤩 Chambre cosy et propre donnant sur une terrasse dont la vue est époustouflante !!! entre la piscine privée de la chambre, le bleue de la mer Egée 💙🌊 et la forteresse de Rethymon 👣 Proche centre historique Bel accueil crétois 🇬🇷 A votre tour de goûter à la magie du lieu 😉

What a fantastic hotel! If I could give it 6* I would. About an hour from Chania airport by taxi, only a 15-20min walk from Rethymno old town. The views from the hotel are simply beautiful. We stayed in a superior sea view room (810) and would come back in a heartbeat. The rooms were modern and kept very clean. Never have I stayed somewhere with such a view! The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The cleaning staff must work very hard as our room was spotless during our whole stay. Andreas at the bar made great food and even better cocktails, so it was a slight shame the pool bar closed partway through our stay, although completely understandable due to the season being practically over and not many guests at the hotel. The weather during the 2nd week of October was great and allowed us to have some gorgeous days out (I know this isn’t anything to do with the hotel but before I came I was searching reviews to see if I could get an idea of what the weather would be like at this time of year, and we had a couple of warm slightly overcast mornings but overall sun and 22 to 27 degrees, clear skies). The pool is lovely and refreshing and the sea in front of the hotel is divine. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the shower was excellent! The only tiny downside I can possibly think of was that there wasn’t a great choice for breakfast (I would suggest perhaps fresh fruit to go with yoghurt or some nuts maybe?) but it had enough for my husband and I to have a snack before exploring. Again this could be down to it being the end of the season? Rethymno old town is magic, we ate there most evenings (would recommend To Pigadi, To Parastratima & Castelo especially!), there is also a lovely gyros place/grill about 9 mins walk left of the hotel called Peppers, and when the pool bar had closed and we wanted a quick lunch we found a nice bakery/cafe 5 mins left also, Noulis. Overall we had a truly fantastic stay at this hotel and would love to come again! Thanks to all the team at Archipelagos

Stayed here last week. The views are amazing we were in a superior room on the 8th floor. Lovely view of the old town snd certain sea. The room was large with all the amenities you might need if you would like to make tea, coffee and light snacks. Beds were comfortable with a good shower. We also almost had exclusive use of a plunge pool outside our room. The pool is a good size and a welcome relief from the heat. Across the road is a lovely sheltered beach which we swam in most days. The old town is a short 15 minute walk or quick taxi ride. All the staff at this hotel cannot do enough for you. Andreas at the pool bar works tirelessly on his own to provide drinks and food of a high standard. The hotel is also spotless, with a buffet style breakfast that is adequate. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.
