We loved being right on the beach, and the area wasn’t busy which was lovely. At night, the noise levels were very high as the road is right there and it sounded like our windows were open when they would drive past. However, the staff were friendly and helped us call a taxi in the morning to catch our ferry.

Mixed

Good location outside of town. Parking in gravel lot down the street not bad. Short walk and a bit dangerous for unloading luggage in front of hotel in traffic. Owner very nice and very helpful with suggestions of what to do. Other staff helpful in suggesting restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Beach is rocky, but water refreshing. Bed linens could use updating and futon in our room needed to be replaced, but overall a descent place to stay for the price.

Petite structure pleine de charme où le client se sent comme a la maison. Compétent et disponible le personnel (Eva et Johanna) se met en 4 pour repondre à toutes vos demandes avec sourires et bienveillance. On se sent plus comme un hote que comme client. Félicitations aux personnes de l entretien et plus particulièrement à la cuisiniere qui tous les matins nous regale de ses pâtisseries maison. Situé à 2 km de Rethymnon et pres de tres bons restaurants, les pieds dans l eau c est un super endroit pour des vaca'ces detentes. On recommande .

Pieni Hotelli meren rannalla

Hotelli merenrannalla ja kaikista huoneista on upea merinäköala. Pieni perheomisteinen hotelli jossa 10 huonetta. Eva omistaja oli todella ystävällinen ja avulias❤️. Huomioitavaa vaikka hotelli on merenrannalla se sijaitsee todella vilkkaan tienvarrella joka johtaa keskustaan. Kiva matka vanhaan kaupunkiin eli käveltävissä. Auton sai parkkiin n.200n hotellista olevalle yleiselle parkkipaikalle. Aamiainen oli Ok. Hinta/laatusuhde Ok. Voisimme mennä uudestaan. Jos et etsi luksusta, suosittelen.

Décevant

Petit hotel situé sur une plage de galets, la plage de sable et les boutiques sont de l'autre cote de la ville. Personnel sympatique, chambre correcte bien qu'au même tarif on puisse trouver un peu plus grand. Gros point noir la salle de bain tellement petite qu'un lave main fait office de lavabo, qu'il est difficile de se pencher dans la douche tellement elle est etroite, le gel gel est a l'exterieur au dessus des WC puisque la douche est trop petite pour qu'il y soit a l'interieur. Après etre douche en faisant attention toute la salle de bain est inondé puisqu'il n'y a pas de porte /rideau de douche (trop exiguë). La terrasse est aussi minuscule l'etendoir est au dessus du moteur de clim donc juste pour mettre maillots, chaussettes sinon la serviette frotte sur le moteur, un petite table et 2 chaises ou il faut ne plus bouger une fois installé. Le parking a 300 mette est en fait un terrain vague.

Bra hotell

Vi hade det väldigt bra på Kreta. Hotellet Filoxenia Beach var fantastiskt. Ett litet hotell med fantastisk personal. Hotellet är beläget alldeles vid stranden så man äter sin frukost mer eller mindre på stranden. Rekommenderar detta lilla hotell varmt. Nära till centrum i Rethymno och hotellet är beläget på den västra sidan av staden vilket gör att det är lite lugnare. Vill man ej gå till Centrum tar man bussen.

Wir haben 2 Wochen im filoxenia Beach Hotel verbracht. Besonders gut hat uns der sehr hilfsbereite Service gefallen. Die Lage ist bezaubernd. Direkt am Strand und eine tolle Aussicht auf die Altstadt. Es gab immer genug Sonnenliegen und Schirme, auch Badetücher wurden täglich frisch gestellt. Das Hotel hat ca. 10 Zimmer dennoch gab es ein abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Sollten wir noch einmal in der Gegend Urlaub machen würden wir dort wieder einchecken.

Schönes kleines Hotel direkt am Strand. Die Zimmer waren sauber und die Gastgeber lieb und hilfsbereit. Die Straße am Hotel hört man zwar im Zimmer, allerdings ist sie nur tagsüber stark befahren und stört daher nicht beim Schlafen. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet mit täglich wechselnden Speisen, die man auf der schönen Terrasse direkt am Strand essen kann.

Lors de notre arrivée les draps étaient pliés sur lit, à nous de le faire .... Petit déjeuner déplorable pour les français, pas de viennoiseries, jus d'orange bas de gamme.

tolles kleines Hotel direkt am Strand

das Hotel ist direkt am Meer, daher hört man den ganzen Tag das Meer rauschen, für uns super. Auch die Zimmer sind Meerseitig, wenn die Balkontür offen ist, ist auch in der Nacht das Meeresrauschen zu hören. Wir hatten die Suite im 1. Stock,durch die offene Bauweise hört man ab und zu leichtes Motorengeräusch, von der hinter dem Haus liegende Straße. Wie es in den anderen Zimmern ist, weiß ich nicht. Wie gesagt, für uns war es nicht störend. Die Besitzer sind super, sehr bemüht. .Das Frühstück ist toll, es war ein wunderschöner, sehr erholsamer Urlaub.
