There was a crying baby that made it difficult to enjoy the room but that is out of the hotel's control. The wifi was spotty at times and pretty week in some parts of the room. Not having a TV and having a table instead would be wonderful really.

The interior garden was very nice as was the quite that it received most of the time. The isolation of the Autumn room was great. Location was easy to get to from the bus and there were several places to go nearby.

Nothing - it was all great

The room that we stayed in was huge and spacious. Bed comfortable. Everything was clean and the little balcony we had was lovely as well. The hotel was on the quieter part of old town but a 2 min walk to the restaurants/shops so perfect location. We walked from the local bus port which was about a 5 minute walk. The hosts were super helpful - would 100% stay here again.

The only comment is that a non-slip mat would be useful in the shower, as the shower floor is quite slippery when it gets wet. Other than that, brilliant accommodation!

We stayed in the Spring room, which had its own private balcony overlooking the courtyard. It was very close (a couple hundred meters) from the Venetian Fortezza and the seafront, which was very convenient and beautiful. The hotel is located in the old town, where no cars drive in the narrow streets - which makes it perfect for wandering around and looking through all the souvenir and clothing shops, super markets and cafe's and restaurants. We will definitely be back, and will definitely book in at Sohora Hotel. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to accomodate our requests and assist us with arranging transport. Our best stay in Crete!

Sometimes a slightly off smell from the old plumbing system coming into the bathroom...but then this is a historical building.

Quiet room in the old town. Nicely furnished room with a mini kitchenette. Comfortable and quiet air-conditioner. Breakfast available onsite for reduced price.

If you come by car, there is no parking place.

The location, staff and the facilities.

Hotel is really nice. It has great location. The host is great and very helpful. Definitely will come back.

The facility does not have its own parking lot, but free parking means free city parking near the facility. The average time of searching for a parking place after returning from the beach is about 10.15 minutes. Beds of slightly smaller dimensions for big guys, especially a bed for two. :)

In addition to the comfort, pleasant staff and cleanliness at a high level, what I would highlight is the free welcome breakfast and coffee on the house on the last morning. The room is cleaned every three days (towels are changed, dishes are washed, the room is completely cleaned). Communication with the owner at a high level, a pleasant and kind guy who was always helpful.

I had a fabulous stay. The property has a really unique feel, the room was extremely comfortable, spacious and had everything necessary. Loved the little kitchen and the location of the place. But the best part was owner and the staff, they were helpful and kind.

Great place just on the edge of the Old Town and easy access to all the tavernas and shops. We had a really nice room with a roof top deck.

Nothing special to mention.

Very clean. The hosts did everything to make our stay confortable. The apartment was cosy and very calm in the heart of the old town of Rethymno. Near of Sohora Hotel you can find all the accommodations you’ll need (beach included). Thank you for your hospitality !!

Hard to find a parking spot during the night. Much easier during the day (lunch time) but good price on a big private car park at 12 minutes away (port). I personally regret renting a private car as we didn't use it that much, plenty bus options.

The location was the ideal one. The staff genuine, very friendly and helpful, extra kind to accommodate everything we needed. Perfect ambiance and cozy apartments (as in the photos - stayed in 2 of them). But the location/ positioning, again, I think was the best advantage - right at the west side of the town center (Rethymnon by the way it's the best place to stay if compared with Chania or Heraklion) with a beautiful piazza and very picturesque restaurants / terraces wich make the place seem like in a movie at night, far from the noisy centre but 5 minutes walking from any kind of shops and restaurants anyway. The beach is about 20 minutes away (walking). I'd say the staff and the location are the two best things :)

The staff were lovely and the room was beautiful.

A really nice and authentic looking boutique hotel in the center of the Rethymnon old town. The rooms are spacious, well kept, tidy with wooden furniture and decorations giving the feel of a warm home as in the olden days. Each room has an air conditioner. There is a big terrace if you want to sun bathe. The backyard of the hotel is also lovely, surrounded by plants and flowers. You can have breakfast there (which is really good) and is a true refreshment in the morning. The staff is really welcoming and helpful and try to be mindful of the environment and sensible about use of resources (electricity/water) which we really like. So stick to the guidance provided.

The breakfast sadly didn’t match up to this very special place

A lovely quirky charming apartment, fully equipped with a kitchenette with a good sized functional bathroom. To enter the apartment, internally there are some stairs and from the windows one looks down on a very pretty ‘Bustro’ garden area, where we in the morning had our breakfast, perfect location for the fabulous Old Town and a 5 minute walk to the bus station. We would stay here again

The wifi could be improved however perfectly fine to work remotely.

An extra shoutout to the staff who unconditionally make you feel at home. They are chill and inspiringly dedicated. Cheers to them, Black Magic Tea www.blackmagictea.com IG.: @blackmagictea

NOTHING

everything. The property accommodation was huge (winter room) with a separate sitting area, balcony, kitchen and bedroom. it was beautifully decorated with care and taste. The location is right next to the fort and literally right next to the old town so it’s perfect. we found street parking reasonably easily. Also the staff were delightful and always helpful with a smile on their face. we would highly recommend this hotel

Great location, we loved it was in the old town, and near a beautiful town square with lots of restaurants, packed out with locals in the evenings. We enjoyed the 10min walk to the more commercial beaches. Amazing staff, (we didn't catch her name) but the main chef for the cafe was so lovely and her breakfasts were delicious! Comfortable room. Lovely courtyard to enjoy breakfast.

Stayed in June 2022

Shower very small, small entrance/kitchen/sitting area. Kitchen equipment almost non existing and not the cleanest. Very loud refrigerator. Very noisy due to the taverns in front until very late night, at least on the weekend.

Very friendly host, very nice, small sleeping room. Very close to the charming city center and no problems finding a free parking nearby (max. 400-500 metres, situation in May).

The room could use a little more light.

Great location, quiet but close to everything. Super friendly staff. Lovely courtyard.

Stayed in May 2022

Staff unhelpful. The accomodation had a cooking stove, steam collector and a pan, but no knives, no other cooking utensils or pots. Staff said they can't help us at all. We felt it was a way to force us to eat in their tavern downstairs. Dishonest and false advertising, would not recommend. On top of that, they were always looking for a way to charge extra (washing clothes, 10 pcs - 20eur). Room was dark and cold.

Location decent
