Leo Hotel

We stayed at this hotel during our summer vacation. The location is in the heart of the old town, very convenient for going out in the evening. The room was clean with housekeeping done every day. However, be careful with parking if you rent a car because it can be complicated to find spots in high season. Note: there is no AC in the hotel's common areas and it is very hot, especially on the 2nd floor. You will have to carry your luggage yourself because there is no elevator. There are no amenities for hanging up, for example, beach towels and swimsuits, which is a shame for a place like Crete..... The hotel owner is friendly but is rarely present if, like us, you leave from morning to night.... She was present neither for our arrival nor for our departure, which I find a shame....

We booked this last minute due to us travelling around the island on a motor bike. Helen’s was a wonderful host. She re arranged things to give us the room we requested. We would 100% recommend staying here.

We recently enjoyed a fabulous 5 night stay at the Leo Hotel and we absolutely loved it. What a fabulous location, right in the heart of the old town of Rethymno. It's so lovely to be able to step out of the door and straight into the little streets and alleyways of this beautiful old town, with plenty of lovely restaurants, bars and shops to choose from. In spite of being so central, it was quiet in the hotel and we slept very well. The hotel itself is a former Venetian residence and it far exceeded our expectations. Our room was large and beautiful, beds were comfortable and all was kept spotlessly clean. Breakfast can be purchased whenever you want it, it is good value, very tasty and plentiful! We had hired a car and we always managed to find a free parking space around the fortress which is just 5 mins walk away. Best of all is the warm welcome you will receive from Eleni and Richard and team. They are just fantastic. Eleni gave us tips for the best beaches and places to visit. She even helped me in my quest to learn Greek!! What a fantastic stay, get it booked, you won't regret it! Thanks so much. Don't forget to come and visit us in Devon one day. Love Louise and Ben xx
