My daughter and I stayed at the Veneto Boutique Hotel during our trip to Crete, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, whose warmth and hospitality helped make our stay memorable.

One of the things we loved most was the hotel's unique character. Staying in a beautifully restored historic building in the heart of Rethymno's Old Town gave us a much richer experience than staying in a typical hotel. The atmosphere was charming, peaceful, and full of history, yet the rooms were comfortable and equipped with everything we needed.

The location could not have been better. We enjoyed wandering through the narrow streets of the Old Town, exploring local shops, visiting historic sites, and walking to the harbor, all just steps from the hotel. After busy days of sightseeing, it was wonderful to return to the quiet courtyard and relax.

Traveling with my daughter, I especially appreciated how safe, welcoming, and comfortable the hotel felt. The staff was always happy to answer questions, offer recommendations, and help us make the most of our time in Rethymno.

Looking back on our Greece trip, the Veneto Boutique Hotel stands out as one of our favorite places to stay. It offered the perfect combination of history, comfort, location, and exceptional service. I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Crete.

Disappointed, won’t stay again.

Disappointed with the hotel. Looks nice from the photos and from outside. Hotel staff is polite and helpful, however the hotel room is poorly maintained and not well maintained. Housekeeping also doesn’t seem complete, with no vanity items(eg cotton pads) at all, and water is also provided only on first day despite staying for 4 nights. Window catch is also spoilt so the window cannot be totally sealed. Also, the hotel said that 10% discount will be provided to hotel guests who dine at their restaurant (called Veneto Restaurant). When we dined there, we had made reservations beforehand and though the service seem
Pleasant and friendly, no discount was given. We asked once while
Paying the bill and were told that discount was already given. However we were not given a proper receipt, only had the total
Amount on the receipt with no breakdown. When we asked a second time, for the actual receipt with the items we ordered (instead of just a one-liner total), the waitress told us that she has thrown the receipt away and is not able to generate a copy for us. She asked us why we needed it and we thick-skinnedly explained again that we thought no discount was given to us. Again, the same waitress assured us discount was already given. We paid the amount as charged anyway but computed the bill on our own and realised that we were not given the discount, despite us asking twice and the restaurant confirming twice that they already did.

Superb stay at Veneto. Arrived early and asked for room with outdoor patio which was quickly taken care of. Room was gorgeous as is entire hotel.

Anastasia at the front desk is a gem and helped me with customs shipping label to send package to US, laundry service and many other things.

Restaurant was closed due to off-season but was able to get a bottle of wine as they have wine selections available and even wine tasting during peak season.

Room was gorgeous and spacious (rm 104), mini fridge, wine glasses, bottled water, silverware etc.

Shower was hot with rainfall shower and the bed was so comfortable with high quality linens. Heaters worked wonderful as it was chilly and raining.

Great location, short walk to restaurants, square or waterfront. Cars cannot get directly to hotel so you will need to walk @ 200 meters. Best place for taxi is north on the Main Street as more room for taxi to park and load/unload. Walk is not bad and luggage with wheels travel easy on the cobblestone.

Will definitely return to Veneto in the future and highly recommend.

First of all…the hotel is beautiful-ti-fuuul! Second of all, it is very conveniently located to so many dining and shopping options! But the staff made it over the top…they were kind, caring, and went over and beyond to accommodate any need necessary…from something as simple as an iron, calling for a taxi, up to watching over a friend that was just not ready to return to her room after many drinks and making sure she got back to her room safely. The only one thing that I will advise, is the photos of the room upon reservation may not be the same room you will get. There are many different room styles, but with that said, they are all different but nice!! I will absolutely stay here my next trip back to Rethymno!!

What a gem! We were four people in a two-room apartment that overlooked a lovely courtyard.

The staff was warm and friendly. After finding out that I had not seen my sister for nearly two years, they arranged for us to have a premium dining experience shortly after our arrival.

The apartment was light and airy with two balconies. The french doors brought in some wonderful smells of seafood and ocean breezes.

The city, itself, is gorgeous. We enjoyed walking the cobbled streets, stopping in a few shops, and stopping for a few cocktails along the way.

Between Rethmyno and Chania, I think I just slightly prefer Rethmyno. Its old town is similar, but smaller than Chania's. The old castle area and cliftside restaurants of Rethymnon just make it slightly more beautiful, to me.

Beautiful hotel. The restaurant wasn't open for dinner, but it's the off season and there were other restaurants in the area. The staff did a good job cleaning my room but never replenished the coffee. They also forgot the complimentary sparkling wine until I reminded them of it. I didn't realize there were a couple of flights of stairs to get to my room, and there was no elevator, and I'm getting older. It was a minor chore to do the climbing. But I probably needed the exercise, so I won't complain about that. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

A great Boutique hotel in the centre of the old town, as soon as you step out the door you're met by restaurants and shops. The staff were great and very accommodating going the extra mile to ensure your stay was perfect. The hotel is not for sunbathers unless you want to walk to the local beach but for visitors wanting to experience the old town this is a perfect setting.
I will be staying here again if back in the area, cannot fault this great hotel.

Veneto Boutique Hotel in Rethymno is in a fantastic location in the Old Town section of the city, near great restaurants (including right next door!), sights, and shops. It was just the first week of June and coming out of COVID so the restaurant at the hotel was not open yet but it looks amazing and was highly recommended.
The room was comfortable, but I don't recommend the room (4 I believe) most highly because it was fairly dark and felt closed in. The sitting room had no windows and the bedroom only had the door going out to a small courtyard. The courtyard was somewhat nice, but not at all private. The room above us often played music loudly - I think to cover the sounds of our own conversations since we were right below their window.
Every other aspect of our stay was great. The breakfast was delicious and varied, the staff were pleasant and very helpful, and the location is fantastic.

Beautifully designed hotel in the heart of the old town of Rethymnon, walking distance from everything with an extremely friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed, overall very pleasant stay.

Parking in the old town was a bit of a problem but they directed me to one of the nearby public parking areas a few minutes walk from the hotel. GPS was a bit finicky in the area so the receptionist went outside to find and greet me when I had trouble finding the place. They also recommended places to see around the city.

Beautiful building packed with history. Suite was delightful and very comfortable. Location in old town was excellent. Breakfast adequate but not a great deal of choice. Cooked breakfast was OK but eggs were overcooked and scrambled egg was rubbery. Plenty of pastries and cakes but I would not normally have that for breakfast. Evening meal was OK but quite formal compared to some of the livelier places nearby. Bit pricey for facilities on offer but I suspect we were paying for a slice of history.

The location is excellent to discover the old town of Rethimno.
The breakfast is a delicious surprise of cretan delicacy rather than the common english or american breakfast, served in a very beautiful place in their restaurant.
Easy access to paid parking spots outside the old town.
Only drawbacks are the too soft bed, which can be uncomfortable for some and the stairs you need to go to the upper floor rooms (staff is very willing to help with the luggage).

Spiral staircase only for young and intrepid

The Venetian Hotel is a beautiful building well located in central Rethymno. The furnishings especially in the dinning room and on couches in room were lovely. They were if traditional Cretan white fabrics.. cotton and lace.
A former monastery. Spacious room. Modern bathroom. All would have been fine but the room allocated has a tight steep spiral staircase that I could not use. The bed was upstairs! But bathroom downstairs.
I could not have negotiated that at night dams I have a sore left foot.
We were offered drinks at 6 pm on arrival. The receptionist insisted on making a firm time. I was going to talk about difficulty of this room with her.Unfortunately no one turned up for drinks or was in reception.
Hence I slept in the wooden sofas downstairs for two nights.
Buffet breakfast was good but again no staff around.
The setting and ambience of hotel is nice although light is poor.
I felt that if you are going to offer a difficult feature in a room we should know in advance.
We had confusion with this booking from the start. The receptionist showed us the room with the stairs with the little double bed upstairs and tv upstairs and said it would be romantic!
I thought it was the quickest way to have a serious fall!
There was no following up or any interest.
Sad as it was a beautiful place.

The hotel was ok with friendly staff . The room was very basic . The hotel is located in the old town . There is no parking near by and we had to walk 0.5 Km with our luggage to get to the hotel . We only had carry on luggage so it was not too bad . If someone had a lot of luggage or does not want to walk in the heat 0.5 km to get to the hotel that would be a problem .

Historic hotel in ok town.

The hotel is in a good location close to the Venetian harbour and lots of restaurants but the hotel itself was nothing too special. Looking at the website, we appear to have had the least impressive room. You have to go in and out through the restaurant and while most Greek people seem very friendly, one of the restaurant staff appeared to go out of her way to ignore us and didn't once say hello.

This hotel was very unique. A converted 14th-century monastery, it was a beautiful building and a special place to stay. The location was great, right in the heart of Old Town. However, if you are driving, it is a bit difficult to get to and you have to park in a nearby city parking lot. They make your breakfast as ordered and the food it delicious (especially the chocolate croissants!) The only issue we had was the internet was a bit spotty, but the staff did their best to help.

Very welcoming reception. Wide staircase (no lift) to room. Very nicely furnished sitting area. Everywhere spotlessly clean, comfortable bed with modern well equipped en suite. Kettle, cups etc but no tea/coffee - however the first thing we were given on our arrival was a cup of coffee in our room. No 24 hour reception but we were given a key to the front door and a telephone number to call if we needed anything (we didn't). No street noise during the night or in the morning. A good breakfast in the restaurant. Overall a very pleasant stay which we would be happy to repeat and recommend.

Lovely hotel with old world charm

Lovely stay. The hotel has a lot of character, and friendly staff. The bed was very comfortable and the most comfortable one we have slept on in our travels in Greece. The toilet seat was a little unstable and needs to be fixed, but other than this, the amenities were very good.

A great place to stay in the heart of Rethymnos

We took a short break to relax. Excellent hotel, welcoming staff, great ambiance, wonderful food, had a great time. Boutique hotel in bustling Old Town, it was a haven of cool serenity.

Not a 4 star boutique hotel...looks are superficial and it lacks substance. The toilet was dirty, small (a little wardrobe-like room converted into a toilet), the shower room was leaking water and the toilet flush would take ages to fill up and was being noisy, nowhere to put toiletries on. The safe was not securely attached to anything, the wardrobe looked cheap, the interior design was outdated. Hotel staff not teribbly helpful and reception both at arrival and at breakfast lacked a welcoming touch. Breakfast was served in a nice courtyard, but the quality of food was disappointing, with food being not freshly made. We were also impressed by the lack of privacy in the courtyard's toilet as we could see through from our table the toilet seat.

Bitterly disappointed

Undoubtedly a beautiful building with a pretty courtyard but that's as far as it goes. Room unimpressive, kids slept on makeshift beds, bathroom badly in need of updating and verging on grubby. So noisy, kept awake by pots clanging and noisy women until 1.30am. Food in restaurant nice but not sure I'd have chosen to go there had I not paid for half board beforehand , we had a very restricted choice of 3 items. Breakfast ok, basic and we had to pay extra for a decent coffee. No Parking onsite. Hotel had not charged me upon booking as my confirmation told me so I was presented with a €260 bill I hadn't expected when I checked out and we weren't even asked if we'd enjoyed our stay and had everything been ok! The most expensive and highest rated hotel we stayed in whilst in Crete and the least impressive. Would definitely not return or recommend . Just pop in for a look like everyone else did whilst we were eating and save your money.

Wonderful stay at Veneto

A wonderful stay at Veneto. The hospitality of the owner and his staff cannot be compared. They went out of their way to chat with us and give us directions both for driving, for sites to see and restaurants not to miss. We will definitely stay there again if we return to Crete.

Great location in the Old Town

In the heart of the old town, the hotel has 12 rooms in total and although breakfast was not included in the room price it was very reasonably available. We stayed in the cave style room that was very nice and just steps away from the restaurant. If you're not renting a car the bus station is not too far away, about 10 minutes walk, and from there you can get to pretty much anywhere on the island.

Veneto Hotel

This was a fabulous experience, staying in a 500 year old monastery!Our room was on two levls with a spiral staircase in between. We were right in the middle of the action of the old town and harbour,and close to the bus station, although it was a bit of a walk to the beach. A civilised, tranquil retreat out of the heat, we had a very enjoyable 4 days here.

Beautiful hotel in a historic building

Great location, tastefully decorated, wonderful courtyard. We stayed in room 105 which could use some minor bathroom fixes. Overall a great experience. Superb restaurant, probably the best food we had in Greece! very helpful staff.
