Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The apartments at Hotel Elida are run by a friendly and welcoming family who always take the time to have a chat & give advice on places to visit in the local area. They're clean & all have their own balcony overlooking the pool. There's parking outside for some cars, though the road is very narrow, so only one vehicle wide. It's fairly quiet, with little noise from the main strip, just the sounds of nature - cicadas, birds and chickens. It's close to the beach & close to the main street where you'll find plenty of dining options, shops & the local supermarket. The pool area is clean and tidy with sun loungers and plenty of beautiful flowers and plants. There is a well stocked bar in the pool area as well.

Great location for my journey. Property is very close to the beach. Lots of dining options close by. Parking can be a pain but host goes out.of his way to be accommodating. Laneway to accommodation is very narrow for cars.

Excellent price

Located in a competitive area, it is an excellent alternative to low budget. The beach is just at the end of the street and many restaurant on the orther side of the street. Facilities to cook in the studio, air conditionning and private outdoor space beside the pool.. The tenant was very kind, smiling and flexible.

L’hotel Était bien situé. Resto épicerie Bakery à proximité. Point central pour visite Mont Ida et Rethymno. Près de la plage. Autobus au coin de la rue. La piscine etait appréciée, mais beaucoup trop de chlore...

Family run nice hotel.

Pro: - Clean and cozy room - Quiet place. Many good restaurants, supermarket and beach are very close. - Well maintained swimming pool, deep enough to dive. (-the deepest spot will be about 3 meters) - Kind and helpful host family Cons: - Unreachable distance by foot from the center of Rethymno (more than 10km away) - Too much chemical smell from the pool.

Struttura in posizione ottima, vicinissima alla strada principale con tutti i servizi ( bar, ristoranti, supermarket) ma comunque tranquilla e silenziosa. La famiglia che la gestisce è molto gentile e disponibile. La piscina è piccola ma ottima per i pomeriggi caldi
