I don't buy into the negative reviews about Elina Hotel and Apartments. These are likely outdated, as we spent 8 nights here and didn't experience any problems.
The superior apartment was bright, spacious and clean, with a good shower and good air conditioning. Despite being next to a busy road, the windows had good sound protection, so we were not bothered by any noise from outside.
The reception staff were always polite and helpful. Our room was cleaned every 2 or 3 days, and it was easy to change towels or top up on bathroom accessories between cleans.
The location is absolutely ideal, being 5 minutes walk from a superb beach and 5 minutes walk from the start of the Old Town, there are dozens of local amenities, including supermarkets, bakeries, cafes and bars, all within easy walking distance.
I would definitely stay here again.

I honestly don’t recommend this hotel. It’s just a good location and clean and thats it. It’s extremely loud and there’s no A/c in second room, we couldn’t sleep the whole night because of heat. Breakfast doesn’t include. I’m not coming back to this hotel.

Great location to access the beach, lots of shopping, and lots of dining and drinking establishments. Very walkable. Lucked out and got street parking a couple blocks away the first day, but had to do pay parking at the marina the second day. Reception staff Alex extremely helpful with calling the lost and found at Heraklion airport to try and navigate my missing suit case, which was very much appreciated. Breakfast was ok, options for myself and my husband who are vegetarian. Young lady who manages the buffet appears to be very hardworking. Would return on future trips.

Good location, ideal for a short stay

The Elina Apartments are in a good location near the beach but also close to the old town. It was about a 20 minute walk from the bus station along a straight road. The down stairs bar was obviously a hang out for men who like to watch sport! Across the road there was a nice bakery which was idea for breakfast.
The apartment was clean, a nice shower with basic equipment for cooking. It was good value for money and suited out needs well.

Nice hotel but some flaws

Nice hotel, close to amenities, studio apartments are decorated OK however basic kit is missing from the apartments, eg only one pan, no washing up kit, so the stay resembles more camping than self-catering. It's not a major drawback and I hope they can include a bit more pans and washing-up kit in the hotel rooms to make it perfect.

Great location and spacious apartments

This hotel seems to previously been an apartment building and recently renovated. Large apartments for an excellent price. We reserved a family room but the first one given to us had a problem with the air conditioning. After some moving around (which wasn't a hassle) we settled into a large two bedroom apartment with kitchenette, living room but just ok wifi (all for same price of course). Breakfast (extra charge) was good and plenty to choose from. Bathrooms are nicely updated. Great location to walk around city center and limani (water front and old town). Very friendly staff and would definitely stay again. No complaints on our one night stop over and could see ourselves being comfortable longer.

Good base, close to the beach.

Firstly it's the only place I've stayed in where I was given a welcome note and bottle of wine, I'm easily pleased!!
The hotel location is good, it's about a 3 minute walk from the beach and 8 minutes to Old Town. The kitchenette area in our room was very small and basic so we used it only for breakfasts, the pool area is small (3 beds) but clean and tidy and the bar is well priced with a small snack food menu available. These apartments are well priced and ideal for using as a base, the staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The only negative would be the smoking in the bar..but then again everywhere we went in Crete smoking was allowed so I won't hold that against them!

Great place!

Backpacking, we opted for this place because of the kitchenette and cheap rate. We were more than pleased, the people at the front desk were super friendly and spoke english quite well. Although this isn't a requirement for us it was a nice change to not have to use hand signals and whatnot to check in or ask questions. The room was very spacious, it had a coffee maker, fridge and two burners with pots/cutlery/etc. First bathtub we have seen here in greece so no water on the floor after showering! Since it is the low season we're pretty sure they gave us the best room, top floor on the corner had an upper loft and big balcony. Seemed like they genuinely wanted us to have a nice stay, which we did. Lots of places to eat and grocery stores around, can see the water from the location. I would recommend any of my friends or family to stay here.

Spacious

Rented for one night in the low season. It was great value, the rooms are basically one-bedroom apartments. There's a small balcony, small kitchen corner with an electric range, lots of floor space in the main room. There was a couch in the main room with a matress tucked underneath. The bathroom was more western than any budget hotel I've stayed at thus far, allowing at last for a comfortable standing-up shower with proper shower curtain etc. There's a internet cafe / coffee house on the ground floor. Don't get too excited about the pool, it's miniscule. The main bed was just two single beds put side by side. I believe I rented a room for single occupancy, so I'm not sure if all the rooms have beds like this or not.

Praktisches Hotel in Strand- und Stadtnähe

Unkompliziertes und sehr freundliches Check-In. Zuerst wurde uns ein Zimmer ohne Balkon, Richtung Strasse zugewiesen. Auf unsere Frage nach einem anderen Zimmer (mit Balkon und nach hinten) wurde spontan und unkompliziert reagiert. Dorthin konnten wir nach ein paar Tagen ziehen.
Es wurde jeden Tag geputzt, jedoch etwas oberflächlich resp. um die Gegenstände rum.
Im zweiten Zimmer hatten wir ein toll renoviertes Bad. Leider klemmte aber die Duschwand und das Wasser rann wegen schlechter Abdichtung links und rechts raus, so dass es jedes Mal eine kleine Überschwemmung gab.
Wir fühlten uns aber wohl und haben nichts mehr gebraucht als das Angebotene.

Joli mais on entend trop les voisins

L'hôtel est bien situé et l'accueil est sympathique . La chambre est jolie et propre, mais la climatisation se trouve dans la partie salon et non chambre, là il n'y a qu'un ventilateur, difficile à rafraîchir pour dormir donc. La rue est passante mais ca se calme le soir donc pas de problème. Le plus gros bémol a été le bruit intérieur : les murs sont très fins donc nous entendions même les voisins prendre leur douche ! Petit déjeuner correct mais mettre du jus d'orange et non du concentré tres sucré.

God beliggenhed

Og det her er til hotel.com! Vi startede med at få værelse 507! Det er et rum med balkon! Og det er det så alligevel ikke! Værelset er med en dobbeltseng og en hems med 2 ekstra senge, så plads til 4 personer! Balkonen er max. 1 x 1,5 meter! Der stod to stole og et rund bord! Og det var ikke muligt at komme derud! Så lad være med at sælge det værelse \"med altan eller balkon\"! Værelserne på de øvrige etager med nummer ..7 har IKKE altaner! Men vi fik næste morgen herligt værelse med fantastisk altan! Så få værelse 507 ud af listen med \"værelse med altan\"

good hotel in a strategic position

As soon as we arrived we were upgraded to a bigger flat, with two bathrooms, a huge bedroom and a living room. The flat was clean, new and the bed was comfortable. We had two bathrooms, one with a bathtub. The hotel is ideally located at a stone-throw from the beginning of the beach promenade and it is also very close to the old city centre and the old port. Staff at the desk were very kind and helpful.Rethymno is a lovely town, with a very beautiful old port and old city centre, less touristy than Chania and with a very long and wide beach with many lidos and cafés.
