Building, courtyard with pool, and rooms were very nice. Bathrooms however were not well maintained and showers had issues such as not having a mount on the wall to hold the shower head and not having shower curtain and plugged drains. The bathrooms desperately need to be updated. The breakfast was ok but other hotels we stayed at in Crete had much nicer breakfast selections.

Excellent location in the Old Town. Came in the winter so it was too cold to sit out in the courtyard, but it looked cozy.

Misleading Photos and Poor Conditions

Having booked a stay at this property, I expected a 4-star standard but was shocked by the reality. The “Palazzino” is in urgent need of renovation, and the photos online do not reflect the true condition. My room was located directly next to the reception desk, barely a meter away, as well as beside noisy wooden stairs and the entrance. The bathroom was moldy, the room had an unpleasant odor, and the furniture was outdated.

When I raised these concerns with the receptionist, he admitted the issues and offered either to move me to a similar room or provide a full refund, even suggesting I find another accommodation (though alternatives were double or triple the price due to high season).

Beware before booking, your stay may be far from enjoyable.

Only stayed for one night, although I reserved for two but there were cancellations with the ferries. It’s a nice property but please note, you may have to carry your luggage up two flights of stairs. I had to do so late at night and was not expecting that. Very traditional room, do not expect any modern touches.

This was a really fantastic hotel, highly recommended. Great service, fantastic room in a beautiful old Venetian house. The owners were even kind enough to provide an early breakfast when we informed them we were departing early for a flight on the morning we checked-out. Really great stay.

Quaint little place, with beautiful features. Personable staff. It's in the old town area, so easiest for walking all around, but not along the beach strip. Parking only available in public lots with a bit of a walk. No elevator so its much easier if you travel light and don't mind lots of stairs. We went in late October...off season, so dining wasn't open besides breakfast. Breakfast was delicious, with several local Greek options. I really enjoyed it

Charming boutique hotel. Makes you feel right at home in the old town with the comfort and reliability of a hotel. Lovely central courtyard with a mosaic pool. ALL the staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in skylit traditional restaurant. Located right next to main attractions. Paid parking is nearby (the lot overlooking the sea is cheapest). Supermarket a minute away.

The property was in a good location.
My room was on the top floor and the bedroom was up another level to the living area and bathroom which was inconvenient. The pool is a lot smaller than appears in the photos - more the size of a spa. The male on reception could have been a lot more friendly. Would not stay there again.

Charming hotel in the old town

What a lovely little spot to stay! It’s just on the edge of the old town, so only a short walk from parking. The staff were very helpful with tips - including for a great restaurant. Some aspects are a bit older in style - eg the bathrooms - bit that’s what you expect in a hotel in a historic building, and everything was very clean. Our room was also very quiet, with heavy curtains to block out the morning light.

Such a unique stay. From the warm greeting at check in to the beautiful hotel we had an amazing stay. Fantastic location to walk around old town or to the beach for a day. The gentleman at check in gave us some great options for day trips as well. The hotel itself exceeded what we expected. Only issue was we didn’t have a shower as only a bath in the room and at 6”5 it was a little tight. Minor problem as we enjoyed our stay so much. Rethymno is a must visit in Crete and palazzino di corina is a great place to stay. Thanks so much for the warm hospitality .

This property was our second choice after having to cancel our 2020 and 2021 trips to Crete for obvious. We think we really lucked out - the hotel decor has an authentic “old” feel to it, which is probably due to great interior design, but looks natural! It has retained all the Venetian features and you are literally stepping back int time in this converted palazzino.

We had a great welcome from Apostolis, the General Manager (Apostolis went above and beyond as we departed when he dragged our suitcases through the streets because our booked taxi driver decided to refuse to pick us up at the hotel, Apostolis certainly gave him a piece of his mind - legend!)

Too many staff to name check, but they were all great. John, who was the first member of staff we met and was lovely and friendly throughout, Panayotis, Joanna, and especially the wonderful chambermaids, thank you all for a great stay, if you are in Crete and want Old Town charm, head to the Corina!

Amazing

Absolutely amazing! The room was perfect, very spacious and cozy. for those who love wifi, the signal was extremely good, i never went below the full three bars of signal. The bed was nice, not just a normal hard bed, but i nice touch to the room. The service and greeting upon arrival was exceptional, we were given a map with detailed markings of where to go and what to see, and the gentleman even walked us down the road to show us how to get the a location we were looking for. The breakfast was really good, and not your normal cafeteria style seeting...it was really nice. The restaurant was also very nice. This hotel is a hidden gem, and literally a 3 minute or less walk to the center of Old Town.

The property was extremely lovely. The location and the room were perfect. The restaurant was beautiful and overall everything was very nice. (4/5)

However, there was an unfortunate incident. My partner and I were in the hotel buffet line to enjoy breakfast, and the buffet manager accused us of not being hotel guests in front of the whole restaurant. After showing her our key card, she did not seem to get the message and I told her the reservation name and our hotel room, and asked her to go check with the front desk. She came back, and still in front of the whole buffet, told us our room did not come with a complimentary breakfast, and she would need to charge the room 8 euro. That was more than fine with us, especially because that is what we had done every other hotel we stayed at, without being singled out and embarrassed. I believe we were confronted for two reasons: Firstly, because we are young, in our early twenties, and did not fit the mold of the average age of the hotel guests. And secondly, because my girlfriend is of non-Caucasian ethnicity, and we are both very dark skinned, again not the typical guests at the Palazzino Di Cornia. It is unfortunate this happened, because it had not happened to us priorly in Greece, or in a very long time in general. The buffet manager should have asked us to confirm ourselves as hotel guests in a manner much more appropriate considering the setting, and we could have resolved any additional payment happily. (1/5)

Really lovely hotel! Courtyard area is beautiful but very small (there were only two sun loungers), but the hotel wasn’t too busy so this was fine for us! Amazing breakfast buffet and great friendly service. If I’m ever in Rethymno again I’d definitely stay here again.

The location is just perfect! in the center of Rethymnon, in walking distance to all sightseeing and shops/ boutiques. The rooms are charming with an old scent - very nicely preserved and decorated. You would think you are in a museum. The restaurant is also very good - and with a plenty of choice: choose wisely;-) Our trip was great!
