Overall Ratings & Reviews Minos Hotel

We had a room overlooking the pool, with a balcony, which was excellent. We enjoyed the random board games scattered around the property as well as the pool table. The food at the restaurant is delicious and affordable. It was very easy to find parking on the side streets. The location is a short walk to the beach, loads of restaurants and shops. Excellent location, quiet yet close to everything. Finally, the staff is wonderful.

Hotel about 1km out of the old centre of town. Hotel is on many levels and has a large swimming pool and several other small ones. Stayed in a superior room with seaview (over the tops of the buildings in front). Room was a nice size although shower room quite small. Tea and coffee making facilities in room including a fridge. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast options are excellent with a wide choice. We used hotel as a base for touring but if you stayed on site plenty to keep you occupied. Car parking is chargeable but the road at the back between the hotel and the 5 star Minos ambassador is quiet, safe and free! There is a fixed menu in the evening for 19€ but if you don’t fancy that there are plenty of good dining options locally especially along the front. There is a supermarket less than 200yds away. I would recommend this hotel.

Reception was very warm and welcoming. Breakfast buffet was enjoyable. We were there for one night. Big pool area but we did not use.

The hotel layout is definitely different, almost labyrinth like. Loved that, almost needed a map to get from point A to B, really cool. And the staff could not be better and nicer!!!

Great hotel, and great staff! The buffet was good with a good variety, and not the same repeat dishes everyday. The only downside is I wish the kids pool was near the adult pool, as it’s actually separated by the hotel itself from front vs back. Regardless, would stay here again!

Great hotel, shower room after check out was a nice option. A couple of the staff were terrific, yet one was quite rude. Overall really good though.

Nice, quiet and clean comfortable stay. The breakfast was good. We got twin bed when requested for double, they added a nice thick topper. Very helpful staff. And added bonus as they gave us free olive oil gift as well as Easter gift hamper. Just a note to remember that you get water only on your arrival then you need to get your own.

It's an old hotel, but was recently expanded with a new building at the back. We were lucky to get one of those rooms, which was a pleasant surprise. Even though it's on a very busy road, those rooms were very quiet, as they are at the back of the hotel. No sea view from our room, but a nice beach with services is only a 3 minutes walk away. Breakfast was included and was nice. Due to COVID protocols, the cleaners would not clean the room every day, but at least we got fresh towels every day. They even provided us with pool/sea towels. They should try to use the sun to heat the pool. The water was not warm enough in October.

Great hotel stay! Definitely a 4 star hotel. The breakfast was great and the vibe was great. Rooms were decent, staff was very helpful and overall service was great! Recommend staying!

Brand new room so everything was clean and supplied.

The proximity to the beach area (2 blocks was great)

Close to the beach and 15 minutes walk to the old town. Great!

We stay in this hotel many times and like it very much ;)

Very good location for town and beach, helpful reception, large clean pool, exceptional breakfast. Nothing to dislike.

Very nice hotel. Friendly staff Would book again

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was in a good location, near the beach front and restaurants. Good swimming pool area. Rooms could have been a bit larger

At this hotel I have stayed 9 times its a place I love to go when I am going for my work in Rethymno! People are very friendly rooms are nice and very good quality of food! The hotel give us a bicycle to go around bat you have to arrange it !

Absolutely great two week holiday. Hotel was fabulous, staff amazing, food excellent and room lovely. We couldn't fault hotel staff, all very friendly and helpful. A lovely pool, our room was super with view of the sea. All meals were excellent and restaurant overlooking the pool with lovely staff.

Comfortable surroundings and friendly and efficient staff.

The hotel is situated near the old town, (walking distanc ). Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. We had an upgrade for free which was nice. Never had problem with sunbeds, always some available. Near the beach (1-2 min walk). The only negative thing was their very poor wifi.
