    A small diamond in Rethymno.....!!!!!!

    Relaxing, comfortable stay near beach and plentiful eating establishments!

    Liked : One of the main reasons, besides reasonable price and location, we chose Axos was that it included breakfast. The breakfast turned out to be both plentiful and excellent allowing for each of our different tastes. Great choice!

    Disliked : The main concern we had was parking as we were renting a car for the week. There was no reserved parking, which could be an issue in the busy months. It turned out we found street parking each day and for a few Euros we could have parked nearby.

  • MomciloBosnia & Herzegovina · Jul 25, 2023 8Very good

    Liked : Location is good.
    Breakfast is very nice.
    Pool and bar are cousy.
    Generaly good value

    Disliked : Noise!
    It was written "Please be quiet at corridors" but I would say that people don't respect that but also isolation on doors is terrible so you hear every single step what you wouldn't like in 6 or 7 a.m. That part needs to be improved.
