Minos Hotel

The bedrooms and bathroom were small but well equipped, room cleaned, tea/coffee/milk replaced each day, towels swapped daily. Breakfast was very good, large selection of hot /cold plus lots of fresh fruit. The hotel was 400 metres from fantastic promenade, a steady walk takes 15 minutes to reach the old town with plenty of cafes/ bars/ restaurants to stop at along the way. It was very clean, bright and airy. It had a brand-new children only pool which was lovely. The main pool was very large with plenty of sunbeds provided and was never full. There was a gym/spa available in the adjoining new extension that was excellent but under used because of a lack of information regarding facilities they provided. A guest info sheet would be useful handed out on check in. My only minor gripe was that the breakfast waiting staff in general sacrificed service with a smile for super speed clearing away of crockery. If you got up for a fresh tea you came back to find your plate had gone, empty or not. I would definitely go back to the Minos. We went B&B which meant we could visit some of the restaurants, recommend Mediterranean (great staff), Nostos, Hercules, Italian corner, Greek flavour place (live music, great service). Go on the mini train tour of town (8 euros each), city bus tour that goes up into mountains, takes 90 mins (15 euros each), horse and carriage along seafront (fantastic, 15 euros per carriage). Fantastic holiday, good hotel, great resort, loved it.

We stayed in the Minos Hotel for 11 nights towards the end of July 2022 and into August. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel, the staff are very friendly the food is good and we spent many happy hours around and in the hotel pool. Furthermore the location is excellent. You are less than 5 minutes from two top rated restaurants in Rethymnon, a beach frree of parasols; a supermarket and several welcoming bars. Not only that you are halfway between the restaurants towards the East of the beach strip and the Old Town, harbour and main shopping area. We had a really good time and the hotel helped and allowed us tio do that.

Hotel in good situ and close to Promenade. Plenty of choices for restuarants etc around in easy walk. Beach near by. Hotel room tight and toilet and shower very tight, Even bath narrow and made showering slippy. ,free toiletries were mostly not renewed when used. As were the coffe not renewed. Cups not washed in whole of stay. Maid often sporadic in cleaning. Sinks left undone some days , floors mopped but not swept etc/ Breakfast good and great variety and choices. Waiters bit off apart from Vassily who was a treat and made you feel very welcome, he went out of his way and the rest could take a tip from his style and efforts, As could managers etc. Pool fine and sunbeds plentiful but end of holiday saw usual bed reserve troops out with towels yet not using bed a lot. Entertainment teams daytime not needed to try and get you to play darts, table tennis, water polo etc. would have been better employed taking towels off reserved beds, telling people not to ignore the no diving signs, and making sure no one was in pool after 6,30pm as signage said. evening entertainment all finished at 11am so not noisty after this point in evening. Reception staff ok but could be cheerier and more willing. After 28days stay our request for a late check out was turned down. OK for a 1 off but would not return Hotel could have upgraded the rooms etc and seemed to spend their cash on the new 5star part of the group over the road which was same hotel group and was lovely.

Stayed 10 days October 2018. Had a great stay. Bed & Breakfast. Room was very comfortable & serviced daily. Breakfast was very good, egg & bacon or omelettes cooked to order, plenty of choice for other food. The pool and pool area was very clean, with plenty of sunbeds. The location was excellent with plenty of great bars & restaurants within walking distance. The old town is also within walking distance.

this is the first time we have stayed at this hotel and it wont be the last. from the moment we got there we was made welcome by the management and reception staff. the hotel and rooms are very clean and we where given clean towels everyday the staff where very friendly and couldn't do enough for you nothing was to much trouble there was a good variety of food to eat at breakfast time and evening dinner there is a lift from the road to reception and also a bus stop outside the hotel that takes you to the old town. from the hotel you are five minuets walk to the beach. the hotel is on a busy main road but there is a zebra crossing right out side . really loved our stay at this hotel and everything was to our satisfaction. would certainly go back to there again as I said before nothing was to much trouble for the helpful friendly staff. mr and mrs g and p Houghton uk

I have been going to the Minos hotel in Rethymno for the last 14 years. It is perfectly situated for the beach {2minute walk}. Its also close to supermarket and local bus stop. The family run hotel is very friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. It is very clean and has two pools and nightly entertainment, The meals are buffet style and however fussy an eater you may be, there is something for everyone. as I say I have stayed at this hotel every year for 14 years and would not go anywhere else.
