Please understand this as a note to the hotel, this is not a complaint: Could be slightly more comfortable seating outside.

It was our greatest pleasure to be guests in this hotel in the old town of Rethymno. The house is new and has very beautiful and extraordinary architecture, the rooms are all different and all very individual. The service from everyone in the team is very heartwarming. Breakfast should be mentioned in particular: different every day and always individually tailored to our wishes. Every day we were asked what we wanted for the next day and it was prepared specifically for us. It was brilliant. The communication in advance of our vacation to Stephanie and family has been very friendly and accommodating. Being a guest here made our already very nice stay very special. And lastly: Jacob is the Best!! Danke für alles!

We visited Crete as a couple for the first time during the off-season around January. We were so glad we booked this place for an exquisite stay, located in the middle of the old town; it was worth the money! The amazing pool view, 2-storey room, and aromatic fragrance were all to be experienced with a touch of mid-century style. The breakfast was out of this world, tasty, and sufficient for a couple. The staff's hospitality from when we arrived until we left was amazing. We had never experienced such an extraordinary as well as humble service, and all our needs were taken care of with ease. Splendid service from Jacob and his staff; we wish we could have stayed longer. We want to return for a longer stay to enjoy a chill vacation.

Amazing hotel, looks even better in real life than in the pictures :). It was cosier than we expected. We visited offseason (couple of days around New Year's Eve) and the room was warm, the bath in the living area was a great addition - very cosy and romantic. Delicious Greek breakfast every day. Staff was very attentive. Two minutes from the seaside. If we would visit Rhetymno again, this would be definitely our pick.

The toilet needs to be a wall

The staff was super nice and helpful and the suite was beautiful and had a very cozy and relaxing feel to it. The whole property had that same relaxing vibe and the breakfast was delicious and included a variety of different dishes. The location might not look great if you don't know the city well, but it's actually near so many shops, restaurants, cafes & bars within walking distance through the Old Town's alleys and so close to the bus station.

The only drawback is lack of parking. If you're willing to pay for parking, there is a lot a few blocks away. Street parking is hit-or-miss.

Our stay at Amalen Suites was magical! It is apparent in every little detail that the transformation of this building into a boutique hotel was a labor of love. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Our breakfast was so fresh and delicious! Each dish is made and plated to order. We loved taking a dip in the private pool. It was off-season (November) so the pool was chilly, but very refreshing. Upon leaving the hotel, our wonderful host offered to make us a special made-to-order batch of fresh breakfast potato salad to take with us! This is more than a place to stay--it's an experience.

As with most medieval walled cities, parking is limited, but there are some free parking spots very close by. The window insulation was not the best and we were unlucky enough to arrive during some horrendous weather with very strong winds and pounding rain. The room was certainly still very warm and cozy, but just a little noisy with the single panel windows, however this certainly not ruin our sleep or our delightful stay, but infact made us appreciate the room's luxurious features even more.

Located in an excellent position very close to the vibrant city centre of Rethymno and close to some local beaches and the Venetian fortress. Amalen Suites definitely has the wow factor when you walk into the lime stone lobby area; with stunning water features to walk across and nice zoned areas to have breakfast or relax. The private rooms have the same wow factor; adorned in lime stone, rustic wood and iron fittings, making it feel like you are in an opulent, bygone era. However, the rooms are equipped with modern ameneties such as a fridge, kettle, coffee maker, large TV and excellent air conditioning/heating. The outstanding features though were the extremely comfortable bed, egg-shell bathtub and private plunge pool. In terms of service, the staff were very friendly and helpful and they delivered the best inclusive breakfast we've ever had. Breakfast included a healthy lentil salad, oven baked feta cheese, Greek yoghurt, cereals, french toast, homemade desserts, coffee and orange juice, bread jam and honey; all delivered to our room with a smile. Thank you Amalen Suites, we will be returning....

People with balance problems or other mobility issues should ask questions for clarity about their room and approach to it. We had an upstairs bedroom (split level) making access to bathroom at night difficult on first floor. This is an outrageous unique place making a few obstacles worth it.

The atmosphere when entering hotel is magical. Water flows through columns and around smaller private areas next to rooms. All rooms are out of view from others. Stepping stones over water led to our room.

We had such a great time in this place! The staff were so lovely and care, they made our stay not just the nicest but also one to remember. The room are super nice and clean, they are beautiful and fantastic for pictures (for the Instagram lovers). The fact that there is only 4 rooms, promises a quite stay in a boutique place. Location is great and everything is a walking distance. We will definitely come back, feels like family

Everything was perfect, the personnel was the top of the tops. Real Greek hospitality and great people full of ideas and positive energy. For the hotel - it's a Rethymno attraction itself, it's like you live in acient baths with modern amenities. 10/10

I didnt like the open plan of shower and loo being in the same room as sofa etc. No privacy. Private pool wasnt as private as we thought and hadnt been cleaned out. No sugar or milk for coffee. Cheap toiletpaper.

Sympathetic restoration of building. Very comfortable bed and bed linen. Excellent breakfast.
