What guests think

At Steris Elegant Beach Hotel, travelers repeatedly praise the seafront location across from the beach and walkable access to Rethymno’s Old Town, along with clean, comfortable rooms—many with kitchenettes or balconies—and generally friendly, helpful service.

Facilities are simple: a very small pool and few loungers, beach sunbeds available with purchases, and parking can be challenging. Breakfast and the restaurant receive mixed feedback, praised by some but called limited or not very clean by others, and the venue may be closed off season. Several reviews mention road and nightlife noise, especially on balconies facing the seafront. Expect a beach‑focused stay in a lively area.

Accueil mitigé (pas de réservation du petit-déjeuner par carte, à régler en espèce, et bon de réduction au restaurant voisin "attention le fonctionne qu'une seule fois" a insisté l'hôtesse) Une minuscule piscine, déconseillée à notre arrivée Sinon appartement propre, correctement aménagé Silencieux Personnel de ménage très aimable Au final, à part le petit-déjeuner, nous y avons passé un bon séjour

Et herlig familiedrevet hotel rett ved sjøen. Det tar ca 1 min å gå til stranden som har egne parasoller og senger. Det koster i utgangspunktet ikke noe, men du må bestille drikke og mat for 7€ per dag. Dette er helt innafor, og servicen på stranden er helt super. Gutta passer på at du har alt trenger hele tiden. Skal dere ha en super ferie i Rethymnon så ligger dette helt perfekt til kun 15 min fra sentrum av Gamle Byen. Med topp service, og rent og pent hele tiden. De vasker og bytter håndklær. Når du ønsker. Så kan anbefale dette hotellet på det varmeste, og vi skal hit neste gang vi er i Rethymnon!

Dejligt hotel som ligger i første række til vandet. Man skal krydse en vej og så er stranden der. Der er masser af liggestole på stranden - og de er "gratis" at benytte hvis du køber noget fra restauranten/baren. Hotellet har en meget lille pool og meget få ligge stole. Hotellet ligger ca 1 km fra den gamle by så en hyggelig gårur og du er i centrum. Rethymno er en dejlig by at opleve og spise i. Hotellet er mindre men de yder absolut top service.

Petit déjeuner buffet excellent avec aussi bien des viennoiseries, plats chauds, omelette, œufs brouillés, fruits et logiquement ici de la fêta et des olives. Excellent rapport qualité / prix.

The location is great, the old town only 15 minutes walk and the hotel is just next to the sea which is extremely convenient. The room was spacious, well-equipped and clean. The staff was very helpful and kind. Perhaps the selection of the breakfast could improve, but from my side it was absolutely fine. Overall, we couldn't wish better staying for us.

I would highly recommend! The position of the hotel is just across the road from a blue flag beach - lots of sun loungers and water sports available. Two minute walk to a supermarket to make the most of the studio apartment rooms we had booked. Room was spotless on arrival and kept that way for my whole stay. Water pressure on the shower was great (a big bug bear of mine when I can’t get a proper shower!) Aircon was easy to use and kept the the room at a good temperature when required. We arrived early hours of the morning and had a great reception by Dino, very attentive service via Maria’s x 2 and the lovely Athanasia (the hotel is clearly her passion). Thank goodness for local businesses that do a great job and make my stays away when not doing business just wonderful! Couldn’t recommend more!

If you want to relax and enjoy the beach then this place is perfect. We enjoyed having a kitchenette so that when we wanted a little break from the beach, we could quickly go back to our room and have a snack. The staff always ensured that our room was clean and if we needed anything then they were able to assist us (ex. Calling a taxi or printing a voucher).

Overall this was a nice property with very convenient shopping options. The restaurant and breakfast was amazing and the staff there was easy to work with and professional. Working with the front desk, staff was awkward. During each breakfast, there was a gentleman sitting on the edge of the patio, smoking cigarettes the entire time we were eating. The wind blew all that smoke across into all the seats. He seemed like an owner or manager, But he never really did anything. His friends would come join him and make even more smoke. Other than this, it was a nice restaurant and a good hotel to stay, great balcony views of the ocean.
