Excellent boutique hotel with high standards in all areas. One block in from beach and 15 minute walk to edge of Old Town. Very comfortable room and excellent breakfast Very high standards of cleaning Friendly staff especially the wonderful Nicoletta who brings energy and kindness to the breakfast room and is a great source of advice on where to go
Stayed here for two weeks at the end of July. From the beginning the staff were delightful, friendly and helpful from check-in and I checkout and every day on between. The breakfast had everything we needed and then some. The rooms were clean, air-conditioned had good beds and a modern bathroom.
The pool-area was busy one week and we had to be early if we wanted to stay there instead of taking the short trip down to the beach. The second week we had no problems finding sunbeds. The pool area is clean and sheltered from the wind, and an alternative if the waves are too big one day.
There’s plenty of restaurants in the area and we never struggled finding a table or a subbed on the beach, even in high season. We were not bothered by partying kids or loud nightlife due to a combo of good windows and location.
We would be more than happy to stay here if we return to Rethymno. Make sure you sponsor a turtle if you decide to go.
Near to the beach, great Service, people very friendly, Top breakfast, rooms big and cleanly, only one point is not good. Pool is not deep so you can not really swim and green stains around the pool edge.
As mentioned by all other guests, Melrose hotel has it all. Wonderful stay. For us we don't like the smell of smoke when eating and at breakfast there is an open space near seating where two guests used to smoke. We had to move seats as the smoke drifted into the eating breakfast area. Apart from this we had a wonderful stay.
Great hotel in the perfect location. Without doubt the best bed, pillows & bedding ever. Welcomed by a bottle of water & wine in the fridge & a bottle of raki. Lovely quiet air con, large walk in shower, soft towels, tv with netflix, plug sockets in the right places, good balcony with side sea view& safe. The towels & bedding were changed regularly& the room was cleaned every day. Big shout out for the breakfast. Usually bed & breakfast means ham, cheese, bread etc, . This was what you would get in a 5 star all inclusive. If you wanted it, it was there. Really had to stop myself eating for England! Pool area was lovely, you could have drinks delivered to your sunbed & there was a pool bar for lunch time food. Staff were great, helpful & recommended some restaurants for us. There was also a gym & hydropool. 15 min flat walk to town, couple of tavernas just round the corner if you get there late & don't want to go to town. Beach 2 minutes walk, some with free sunbeds if you order food from the relevant taverna. Great water sports & a lifeguard. The reason I have given it 4 stars rather than 5 is: there was nothing Greek about the hotel. It would have been nice if there had been some pictures, artefacts etc. The Bar also shut at 6 which i found strange. Wouldn't expect it necessarily to be open till late but we sometimes like a drink b4 we go out in the evenings & there were no bars in the immediate vicinity. Also there were only 2 drawers in the whole bedroom, no bedside cabinet drawers, no dressing table drawers, which meant we had to keep a lot in our suitcases which is annoying when you are there for 11 days. All in all a brilliant hotel & we would def stay there again.
