Mythos Hotel

We stayed here for a week in September and I’ve got to say that this is one of my favourite hotels we’ve ever stayed in. The hotel is beautiful and the staff, especially Eirini who genuinely makes you feel like family.. with the help of Eve and all the staff are just brilliant and make you feel so welcome. We had the studio apartment which was absolutely beautiful with a good sized bed and all the facilities you could need. The room was a great size with plenty of storage and a little kitchenette should you want to use it for coffees etc.. Breakfast was a buffet style of fresh Greek dishes which were lovely and we had a table set up outside our door on the terrace.. it was truly lovely. The location was perfect for wondering their streets of the old town and there was plenty of advice on things to do and restaurants offered to us.. we were very fortunate to have been given an upgrade to one of the duplex rooms for the last 3 nights of our stay but either room was good enough for us. The rooms had an iron and board plus kettle etc so everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beach is about 10-15 min walk away and the marina is about 10 mins too. You can literally lose yourself in the old town for hours just wondering around. We will definitely be returning to Rethymno and wouldn’t stay anywhere else now. We were treated so lovely we even bought them some flowers today thank you.. until next time!

Before we arrived we thought we might struggle to find it, as Google maps shows that it's behind other buildings. We needn't have worried, as when you stand on the corner of Arcadiou and Manioudaki and look towards "Je t'aime bar" the entrance to the hotel is easily seen. Our wonderful experience commenced from the moment we entered. Greeted by Eirini, the daughter of the owners, we could not have been more warmly welcomed. Everything about our stay was beyond superb. From the tastefully renovated property that is an oasis of beauty and calm, the immaculate daily cleaning service of our very comfortable room, warm hospitality - nothing was too much trouble to the divine breakfast that was difficult to step away from (and I'm not usually a breakfast person!). I could go on. We will miss this little corner of paradise along with the delightful staff/friends and resident cat. Highly recommended.

Without doubt, the best hotel my wife and I have ever stayed in, large or small. This family run hotel is ideally placed in Old Town within short walking distance of the beach and all that Old Town and the harbour has to offer. From the friendly greeting to the breakfasts (lot of variety) to the spotlessly clean rooms, this place cannot be faulted. Because of the location, you will be dropped by airport transfer nearby and if self driving, nearest car park is at same drop off point. However, it is about a 5 minute walk and flat. On departure they did offer to help with our cases but we did not need it so I assume if you call ahead and cannot manage, they will assist. Whilst we were there there were other couples who were repeat bookings. We could see why. This place will be fully booked very quickly.
