Kind Words From Our Guests

"Food tasted very good, many options. Staff and customer service was the best, never been in a hotel where is that kind of nice persons. If I will come again in Greece I want this hotel😍Our rooms was cleaned every day and rooms was homely. I recommend this place!"

"Buffet breakfast and dinner. dinner presented various dishes of good quality. The staff are polite and friendly. the rooms of the residence (studio flat) are equipped with all comforts (TV, air conditioning, large balcony, kitchenette and safe)"

“Three-star hotel with 80s-90s furnishings in good condition, very clean, with outdoor swimming pools and bars. Buffet breakfast and dinner, abundant self-service. Good variety of choices. Dinner with some very good Greek specialties, they change every night, mixed salads, tomatoes, fried potatoes, two desserts. Strategic location, many clubs on the seafront road. The historic center of Rethimno is about two kilometers away, half an hour's walk, full of romantic bars and restaurants, I recommend you go there in the evening.”

I have been to the Lefkoniko many times over the years, and still I keep going back. There is a great atmosphere generated by the staff and the management. This is a family run hotel, which probably explains the personal touch. The staff are efficient, friendly, and helpful (reception/restaurant/bar/cleaning) Overall standards are excellent. With its pool and sun area, but the beach is literally one minute walk away. Also a walk in to the Old Town (20 mins) is a must. Do yourself a favour and try the Lefkoniko.

“We are staying in this nice hotel, clean, abundant and varied breakfast and dinner, kind and friendly staff, excellent location a few steps from the sea, near the historic center of Rethimno and the port where ferries leave to go to other Greek islands. I highly recommend it, for those who want to spend a relaxing holiday there are several typical restaurants with Cretan cuisine.”

“The hotel is on the beach of Rethymnon and at the same time next to shops and supermarkets. The owners are completely helpful. The room is spacious, clean, quiet. You don't need anything else. 5 out of 5 for me!”

“It was a perfect little hotel for us. Free wifi, free air conditioning. CLEAN. They cleaned every day and we got new towels. Even the bed was perfect. They were careful: my son's pillow was low, he put the cover under it folded. We came back in the afternoon, he already had 2 pillows! The hotel restaurant is good, we always found something to our liking. I can only recommend the hotel!“
