When we bought a ticket to Pegas, they said the hotel was 4 stars.
Minuses:
Room 105 on the first floor. The door to the bathroom spruce closes, because swollen. The toilet seat on the toilet spruce keeps so it often falls off. The shower is just a tin, only a child will fit in it, a smelly curtain weighs. Therefore, in order to wash, open the curtain and wash yourself by flooding the floor. There are two sockets in the room and they are not near the bedside tables, but near the TV. As they say, do not relax FIG) But the control of the light near the head of the bed. And guess what, besides the light buttons, the radio buttons that don't work??? ? I suspect the hotel was built in the seventies, and the renovations were done in the early 2000s. To say that the air conditioner is old is not to say anything??? ? Two modes of blowing on one or on the whole bed. The plastic of this dinosaur has already turned yellow, the filters of this monster have not been changed for twenty years.
As soon as we stopped, they turned it on and I smelled mold. Refrigerator kid who ate freezes. Three and a half liters of bottles are placed in the baby, and a little less in the door. The laminate at the beginning of the 2000s deserved a special mention, not everywhere, but it creaks decently. A table with a refrigerator and two drawers, please be careful with the handle of the lower drawer, it falls off. The balcony is a masterpiece; part of it is occupied by an air conditioner unit. View of the wall of the neighboring house. There is one torn wicker chair, left along the way from the seventies??? ? A masterpiece is how water is removed from the air conditioner, it flows stupidly along the floor of the balcony and into the groove ????
To get to the clean beach that I'm used to in Greece, you have to walk three km. The beach is called "Blue Beach" almost at the end of Rethymno. After Rhodes, I was shocked by the quality of the beach and water in Rethymno. Even on the Blue Beach, the water near the shore is muddy. You have to walk a long way to get clearer water. There are no fish.
The toilets next to the reception for those waiting for check-in are not locked on the heck. Toilets next to the pool are also without heck.
Cherry on the cake, the entire first floor is inhabited by Russians. I think the Greeks call the first floor the Russian ghetto, but this is not accurate)
Pros:
Room cleaning every day.
There is a rooftop pool with sun loungers, the lighting does not work at night, there is no wi fi. Be careful when you go down into the pool, the handrail of the spruce is holding. Everything is very worthy) Breakfasts and dinners are very good. The food is just super if you have time for your compatriots. For as they say, ours eat like the last time ??? ? The staff is very welcoming and friendly.
It turns out that in this wonderful hotel, which is like four stars, the rooms on the first floor are at least two stars. And the higher the floor the better the rooms, the top is the fourth floor. Photos on booking just from the fourth floor)
The city of Rethymno itself did not like Rhodes in comparison.
The old town is small, the fortress is paid 4 euros and almost nothing has been preserved there, it works until 20.00. Lots of open trash cans, strong stench. There is also plenty of trash. The beach and water are muddy and dirty.

I will remember the rest in this hotel for a very long time, and only on the positive side. Excellent service, polite, smiling staff, cleanliness of the rooms could not leave me indifferent.

Were in June 14 days. We took two adjacent rooms, a large family with two children. One room overlooked the street, the second into the courtyard overlooking the wall of a neighboring house. The first one was more fun. Although it is noisy with an open balcony, the double-glazed window perfectly isolated from the street. … More ▾ Were in June 14 days. We took two adjacent rooms, a large family with two children. One room overlooked the street, the second into the courtyard overlooking the wall of a neighboring house. The first one was more fun. Although it is noisy with an open balcony, the double-glazed window perfectly isolated from the street. There is air conditioning, many complained that it was blowing on the bed, but everyone was apparently too lazy to just direct the blades higher. We were not too lazy and did not blow on us. He worked all night, everyone is safe and sound) Yes, the air conditioner does NOT work if you remove the key, or someone got a magic number)) We arrived early in the morning, we were at the hotel around 9. From the airport we drove 1.20, back a little longer, because we stopped by in indigestible places for tourists) Check-in from 11-12. We left our things at the reception and went for a walk while the rooms were being prepared for us. We looked at the map in advance, where the hotel is located, so we understood where to go and what we want to see. Old city, this is a song with a refrain! It’s a couple of minutes from the hotel, and it’s wonderful! ) It’s worth not only walking along the shopping streets, but also stepping a little to the side, local residents live there, which is interesting, they live very openly, you can just take part in everyday life just passing by)) On the contrary The hotel has a supermarket, open from 7 to 21, day off Sunday. To run in, buy some water / beer / wine, if the soul wants something more, it’s worth turning around the right corner from the hotel and walking a little, there is another supermarket, bigger and richer. If you turn the left corner, then there is a 24-hour pharmacy, you never know, someone will need it! Aloe vera gel for the skin is also sold there, I recommend buying it, it helps with sunburn very well, it costs about 9 euros, it is transparent and smells good, believe me, it will save a lot! ) In general, medicines are much cheaper than in Russia. . Much! Gasoline is exactly three times more expensive. This is for those who want to rent a car. And don’t take it from the tour operator!! ! There are excellent GREENWAYS on the coast, with full insurance and cheaper! Yes, if you have limited internet, and you want to travel, then you should buy a SIM card from a tour operator with only internet. It costs about 18 euros, but you can not only use navigation, but also watch movies in full, etc. , there will be 4 g on the map, but we couldn’t even use a third, we traveled 6 days in a row using the navigator to the fullest! The rest of the time we just distributed traffic to neighboring phones)) More about the hotel. We were given two rooms of almost the same size, they put folding beds for the children. The linen was changed every three days, as were the towels. There were bathrobes and slippers. There is a flat TV even with a couple of Russian channels, but one of them is chanson, the second is Russia 24, we didn’t watch them) Extremely small and uncomfortable bathroom, or we were unlucky with the location, but water is supplied without interruption, there was no smell in one room , in the second permanent, even bought a freshener. Although they left complaints about the smell, once they cleaned something there, it didn’t smell for exactly one day, then everything returned. The balconies are equipped with a couple of chairs and a small table. In the evenings, we hung out wonderfully, having put the children to bed, watching the rhythm of the city, listening to music from neighboring cafes. Cool! Food. The service in the restaurant is very sympathetic, the waiters are not lazy, the tablecloth is changed after each visitor! Breakfasts are so monotonous that by the end it was already nauseous from the same thing. If at least some kind of diet or diet is observed, it is difficult here. . Checked on myself. I had to be content with only Greek yogurt, it is very thick, honey and fried toast with cheese. There were always eggs, either scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, always sausages, sometimes with additives, sometimes without additives. Even the children rebelled in the end. Here are the dinners! Dinners are great! The choice is wonderful! I can’t remember the same ones, every day there was something new. Desserts are delicious, I can’t get through them, I refused them, but fell for custard several times)) Walk to the beaches from 15 minutes. But do not be afraid of this distance, it passes either through the Old Town or through the streets of Rethymno, the route can be changed a little every day, turning not here, but there)) that they took scooters. We took sun loungers in front of Appolo, where Wi-Fi is included in the price of a sun lounger, if anyone is interested) A pair of sun loungers, an umbrella, a table with containers for glasses - 9 euros. Neighboring green 7, but umbrellas let the sun through, keep in mind! You can just come with your umbrella, since they are sold there on the coast, it costs 10 euros. If you are too lazy to bring a blanket with you, then on the spot, but it’s better in the Old Town, it’s cheaper there than at the beaches, you can buy a blanket, it’s not thick, it’s not a towel, it costs from 10 euros, as you can find) For a meal during the day, we highly recommend a beer restaurant Beeraria, it's not a corner, so you don't confuse it, right in front of the green umbrellas! Excellent food, there is a Russian-speaking girl Tanya, hello to her)) There is a swimming pool on the roof of the hotel, I knew about it, but I completely forgot and stomped in 10 days only until it. It is small, the water is very warm and very chlorinated, which is even unpleasant, but the children were happy. There are several sun loungers, even fewer umbrellas, though during the day there is almost no one there, in the late afternoon people crawl down, creating soup in a small pool. . In general, we recommend the hotel for the whole family! Our family really liked it, everyone treated us very friendly, they let the children go home almost with tears) Price / quality at the level of 4 stars, as stated ! !

The hotel is in the city center and it is convenient for evening walks. Near the park, the old town, the fortress, the promenade and a wonderful beach. If you know how to organize your vacation yourself, then you will not be bored there. Bus station nearby - go ahead! The beach is only on the first day. And then this walk becomes even a necessity, especially after a hearty breakfast or dinner. … More ▾ The hotel is in the city center and it is convenient for evening walks.

Vasily is salvation and joy for all Russians. He will always help you and tell you what you need. Cleanliness and order in rooms and hotel. Delicious in the restaurant. Thank you - Vasily, Magdalena, Eva and our maid, I'm sorry, I don't know your name (room 203).

We rested in August 2012. Basically a good hotel. But rooms 105.107 are noisy - you can hear the music from the restaurant below them. Cleaned every day, change of linen - every three days. To the sea 20 minutes through the old town, not hard and interesting. The pool is small and shallow - suitable for children, but not for adults. … More ▾ We rested in August 2012.

I rested with a friend from June 10 to 20. The hotel is not bad enough, but the only minus is far from the sea, suitable only for outdoor activities. We rented a car and drove around the island, walked along the promenade in the evening, a very friendly country and very good people, in the hotel has a Russian-speaking guy Vasily, very friendly if you contact him for any questions, he will tell you. … More ▾ I rested with a friend from June 10 to 20.

Another tip, buy a guide in Russian, and plan the route in advance; everything is described in detail what to see and how to get there, plus a map is attached. But when you rent a car, you will also be given a map, but we bought a more detailed map, GPRS was not needed because there there are signs everywhere, and if people are very friendly to help you, and you know a little English, in extreme cases, everyone will understand sign language..... Have a good rest and good luck to everyone prints!!! !

But we were very pleased that we were here during our stay in Crete. The hotel staff is very friendly and caring. You can say you feel at home. The food is excellent, fresh and varied. Meat fish to choose from. Lots of vegetables, both fresh and stewed like Greek. Sweets 3-4 types. A feature for Russians and Ukrainians, what serves the Russian-speaking guy from Moldova, Vasily. Just a charm, well done! Special thanks to him!
Rooms are cleaned every day, towels and bathrobes every three days.
One of the many advantages of this hotel is the location. Located a stone's throw from the old town, where all the shops, taverns, promenade. It is a great pleasure to go to the beach along the ancient streets of Crete, enjoying all this Greek flavor. There are many car rental companies on the waterfront of Rethymnon. We took Peugeot 307, automatic for 4 days. We paid 180 euros. During this time, we dashed off 1000 km, traveled almost the entire island, a lot of impressions! I want to say for those who are waiting for a passive beach holiday and primitive entertainment from animators, it is better not to go to Greece. Greece for the active!
