Cressa Suites

It is located in the Old Town. There are only six rooms and so there isn't anyone there full time- they request that you tell them when you plan to arrive. We have a good sized room with a private deck. On the deck there is a very large Jacuzzi, though we didn't use it. A large umbrella provides shade. There is a table and chairs where it is pleasant to eat breakfast or you can go up to the roof and dine there in the sun. There is also a folding contraption that you can use to dry your towels or clothes. There is an exercise ball and two inflated lounge chairs. The king sized bed (actually two singles attached and sharing the blanket) is very comfortable [if you like firm mattresses - most Brits won't like the level of firmness]. The shower, toilet and sink are all in separate areas. The shower is large and very good. It is totally enclosed so there is no risk of water getting on the floor of the room. If you use hair conditioner bring your own as it's not provided (skin moisturizer is however). The breakfast is delivered to you in a basket. You call down after 8:00 AM for it. It is good but of course you don't have the multitude of choices that a hotel's breakfast buffet offers. For example it has only white bread not the whole grain we prefer.

Great location , friendly staff , nice breakfast

One of the most beautiful experiences of my life. I stayed in the suite with patio. It is a historic Ottoman residence in the center of Rethymno, equipped with every comfort for the client.I felt pampered like a princess, thanks to the many details (tks for the eco choice of dispensers for the bathroom), the furnishings, it's a luxury of simplicity, which makes you feel at home,In a splendid house .. The plus is Evi, with her sweetness she will make everything even more beautiful, when I entered the room I found the sweets as a gift, the Greek breakfast served on the terrace...Staying in this beautiful place made my experience of the City of Rethymno even more beautiful. Thanks Evi!

From the very first contact with the wonderful Evi I knew we had picked the perfect place for our time spent in Rethymnon. Cressa suites is an excellent little boutique hotel right in the heart of the old town, Evi cannot do enough to help you she is delightful, full of smiles and positive energy. Breakfast is delivered fresh every day either to your room or on the roof terrace. Room 5 had a lovely little bit of outside space. It’s a 10 minute walk into the harbour and beach. There are so many delightful restaurants and bars you will spoilt for choice, Raki Ba Raki, Asikiko, Avli and Cavo for the incredible sunset to name a few.

My partner and I visited Rethymno on Crete for two nights in June and had a great stay at the Cressa Suites. There are five rooms and we took the one with its own balcony. The suite was not large (though I have stayed in far smaller) but it was very clean and very comfortable. Once we got the air con working it was also nice and cool which is important on Crete in June. The location is good - a small street in the old town about ten minutes walk form the beach. The best part of our stay was the friendly service from Evi and the staff. Each day we had a lovely breakfast basket (pastries, fruit, yoghurt) along with coffee and OJ delivered to us. On our departure day, Evi was very helpful in allowing us somewhere to change as well as leaving our bags securely. The suites are not a hotel so do not expect full room service. What you get is very comfortable and good value in a fantastic seaside town.

Located in a quieter street very close to the Old Town restaurant area, Cressa Suites is a very comfortable clean choice. The host, Evi, is really welcoming and helpful. Breakfast on the roof is a must not least as the deluxe rooms are not that big There are no other facilities available though...at least that I found! Taxis can only drop you 5 minutes walk away. The central Rethymno bus station is 10 minutes walk away

Very bad service, they made a mistake and false promises, they wanted to let me pay for their mistakes by not cancelling the reservation for free. Finally after hours of conversation they gave me a written confirmation of the free cancellation. Guess what, two days later my CreditCard was charged. Arrogant lady from the reservation department called me by saying that they were very kind to do this for me, they just did not accept their own failure, bad bad bad! Avoid this place!
