Rimondi Boutique Hotel, Crete
Expert reviews
“Tucked in the heart of the old town, this luxurious Venetian mansion has historical ambience and cushy furnishings. The suites in the Estate building feature original domes and stone arches, while rooms in the Palazzo are equally plush but offer a little less atmosphere.”
“Step through the heavy 16th-century wooden door of this hotel and you are transported to an oasis of civility away from the bustle of Rethymnon’s busy streets, where two buildings split by a pretty pedestrian alleyway house some of the most sumptuous rooms in town.”

It was such a wonderful, beautiful and peaceful hotel with the most gracious and kind staff. They would do anything to make you happy. Warm and friendly people. The breakfast was amazing! The pool was perfect temperature with soft music to help you relax. Surrounded by green nature. Simply stunning! I loved it. Thank you to the staff for making my holiday the best.

Wonderful hotel with great location and staff
Location is excellent, staff is amazing and the facilities are great
The only downside is that our room (102) had a small bathroom with a very narrow glass door in the shower so the bathroom floor was all wet after taking a shower. Also beware that you can’t access the hotel by car, you need to leave in a parking, but it’s 2 min from the property

We had a wonder holiday
Beautiful decor, lovely staff, delicious breakfast, very clean, perfect location. The only small suggestion is to put two small bottles into the fridge each day. It would mean a lot to the guest and not cost the hotel much.
Two small bottles of water placed in the fridge each day.

Beautiful hotel in a great location
Beautiful hotel right in the town centre. Close to restaurants, the beach and shops. Right in the heart of the town. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They put something special on for a birthday. Would highly recommend this hotel especially for couples. Very quiet, in a great location and good value for money.

Good.
Everything was great, small oasis in the middle of the city.
No elevator to bring up the heavy bags and coffee was terrible.

Awesome Mediterranean boutique hotel
The staff is absolutely exceptional, really helpful and positive and cheerful - which is what you want during your holidays. You are located in the middle of the middle so everything is steps away. Beautiful hotel with Mediterranean vibes, would definitely go back.
Nothing, everything was great.

Comfortable and relaxing hotel in an ideal location
Great location for exploring the old town and not too far to walk to access beaches and other tourist services in the newer part of the city. Breakfast was superb with a wide selection of foods to suit all tastes and being a buffet style means you can try whatever you fancy. Staff were excellent, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.. The small touches such as a glass of iced water when you sat in the pool areas made you feel special. We were in the building across the narrow srtreet from reception with a small courtyard around the small pool. Room had so much character and very comfortable and the courtyard was very relaxing and quiet.
Shower cubicle in our room was a bit snug, possibly something to consider when there is a bathroom refurb in the future.

Breakfast, surroundings and breakfast waitress.. she was pure joy and nothing was too much trouble. The pool and its surroundings were an oasis of calm in the middle of the Rethymno hustle and bustle.

Lovely staff, great location, homemade pastries and breakfast very tasty.
Location right in the middle of the old town in a lovely Venetian old building modernised sympathetically. The staff were lovely
Very little. Robe really picky the pool was still quite cool this time of year, but a heated pool would not be good environmentally so I would rather have a cool dip than a pool heated.

Beautiful hotel in the old town
Staff is amazing, ready to help with any questions; any extra items are delivered to room within seconds; beautiful hotel; 2 beautiful pools; location is right in the old town next to amazing restaurants (Raki Ba Raki right next to the hotel is super delicious); wi-fi is strong;
We had a two-storey room and the hand rail on the second floor was very shaky, nearly falling off

Our stay was wonderful! The staff were warm and kind, bringing our luggage up to our rooms and greeting us with a welcome drink. The hotel is in a great location, in the middle of Rethymno, which made it easy to walk around. There is also a parking garage ~7 minute walk from the hotel which was very convenient.
The beds were hard and uncomfortable.

Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff and perfect location.
It is a beautiful hotel, small, quiet and pleasant.
The pools are very small, especially the one that in the patio next to our room and there were pigeons around it almost always.
