This is a great, modern hotel with an oceanfront view. More like a 5 star hotel. Excellent buffet breakfast and located in the old town. Close to restaurants and shops and beach. Best place to stay in Rethymno in my opinion.

8/10

Very nice hotel. Breakfast could be improved, no choice of beverages, no natural orange juice, and poor choice of food and very few natural food items.

Rooms were clean and quiet and well appointed. Included breakfast was wonderful and had lots of variety, both hot and cold options. The old fortress and old town shopping and restaurants are very closeby. Would definitely stay here again if we visit Crete in future.

I loved this hotel, and would absolutely stay again. I loved having a balcony and being able to sleep with the doors to it open. Rethymno is a very safe place and the hotel is in an excellent location - everything is very walkable and the hotel makes a great base. The staff were lovely and friendly :)

Great hotel in a good location on the edge og the old town, 2 mins from the Venetian Port. I was only B&B so I can only comment on the breakfasts but they where really good. Very nice Apart Room, bedroom and living area and nice to have a fridge for milk and beers. If you are visiting Rethymno its a great place to stay and Rethymno itself is lovely.

The room and the staff were great, as well as the location. I was disappointed that the hot tub was not heated while I was there, and the parking was a bit difficult.

Excellent hotel for a short stay (our room wasn’t big enough or had enough storage for a longer stay). Rooms were lovely as were bathroom but as I said a little small for a one/two week stay. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful, breakfast was good and pool a nice area too. Near the harbour and old town with a 10 min walk to the beach.

The room was newly renovated and it was way better than we expected. Clean, simple and modern with smart light and AC control. The view from the room is amazing. The location is perfect! The staffs are helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. Only the wifi is terrible. The connection is weak even in lobby, mist of the time we couldn’t even google something.

We will definitely come back to this lovely hotel. Rethymnon is a great town, where the old town blends with the new, offering something for everyone and a great choice of reasonably priced restaurants. The Ideon is perfectly located on the sea front near the Venetian harbour on the outskirts of the old town. The hotel appears to have been recently renovated to a high standard. We had a room on the first floor with sea views and a small Juliet balcony. My only criticism would be that the balcony wasn't big enough to sit on and a small amount of road and noise from the cafe terrace below can be heard during the evenings for a short period. Other than that the room, although small, was very well equipped with lovely comfortable beds and good pillows and lovely bathroom with a fantastic drench shower and good quality toiletries. We booked on a B&B basis and breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice. The cafe bar also offer a limited snack menu which is excellent quality and good value. The pool area is lovely but only has a limited number of beds however, although the hotel was very busy, we had no problem in finding free beds and parasols. Finally, the staff at the hotel are all fantastic, without exception. Always friendly, helpful and efficient. Thank you Hotel Ideon for a lovely stay!
