Even though i had booked a ground floor studio we were placed upstairs because the manager thought it would be better for a family! I had booked the ground floor as I have mobility issues! The stairs were made of stone & had worn to different shapes which I found very difficult. We complained & had some money returned but this did not help with problems with the stairs! So my husband had to supervise me on the stairs. The room was nice but smaller than booked - nowhere to put clothes. The bed was very comfortable. However on the day of leaving there was no hot water!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Casa Dei Delfini. The building has been beautifully renovated by the owners and was very easy to find from the instructions given. It is located in a pedestrian area which is very quiet and very typical of Old Town Rethymno, and a few minutes walk away from all local amenities and sites.
Our hosts were very very friendly and helpful and the rooms where spacious, spotless and cleaned every day. We stayed in the Penthouse for a week over New Year and it was very comfortable.
By day the temperature was \"spring-like\" in Rethymno but by night would drop so we made ample use of the modern heated air-con units available for use when we needed it.
We were loathe to leave when we had too and would really recommend this property to other visitors, especially as our room had a large roof terrace with sun loungers and a bistro table, which would be perfect for al fresco breakfast/lunches when the weather warms up. The views over the Fortezza , Rethymno town and the mountains beyond where fantastic. A memorable stay indeed.

A great choice in old town Rethymno

We loved Casa dei Delfini. It's a lovely reimagining of an historic home. Our room had all the modern conveniences including a small kitchenette, coffee machine, nice bedding and upscale bathroom. We enjoyed the breakfast. It's easy walking distance to all the old town sights.

Casa dei Delfini was such a beautiful boutique hotel, nestled in the center of Rethymno. The staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable, they truly made our first time in Crete memorable. The location was amazing with awesome food all around. Breakfast was also delicious. I would love to come back in the future!

August stay

Fantastic hotel, lovely room with air con. Here for an event August and the general areas do not have air con, which have been very hot. Would definitely come again but in cooler months. Fantastic location in heart of the old town.

The historic, or the room with a view?

The Casa dei Delfini is a credit to the owners, who have restored their two buildings with care and sensitivity for their historical roots. They have brought light into the buildings, while preserving their authenticity. Our hosts made the first contact with us, and responded to our messages quickly. Konstantinos was kind and informative, and his mother was fantastic in her enthusiasm for the restoration and care of the buildings. We had the generous and tasty breakfast one day and recommend it. Our rooms at the top of the hotel gave us a glorious view of Rethymno and its Fortezza. Konstantinos helped us get our heavy suitcases up the steps. You can stay on level one or two in the older rooms, or like us, stay on the top floor to take advantage of the magnificent view of the town and the mountains.

Parking is difficult. No cars are allowed in the Old City so you will probably have to walk about 300m or so to reach the hotel. We were advised that there was street parking, a free lot, and a pay lot a shot met distance away, but everything was always full and we were there in Dec. Also there is a market in one of the lots on Thursdays, so no parking there.
Other than the parking (for us) the location is near several restaurants and shops and the room was new and very comfortable and well equipped.

We had a wonderful stay, the hotel is beautiful it is both modern with original architecture feel. We loved being in old town and getting parking close wasn’t too bad. We had a lovely check in and very informative staff. The beds are firm but I slept well. The kitchen had everything we needed. Would stay again

Great location and atmosphere

The hotel was beyond amazing! We loved the original architecture in the lobby and room we were in. The staff was great; very helpful with touring and eating suggestions. The hotel is located right in the middle of old town with lots of shopping and dining options available around every corner. There was breakfast every morning included which was essentially a continental breakfast but they also made eggs to order. We hated to leave!

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in a good location, has a good breakfast, and all the staff were very pleasant. The only thing that would have been approved was if we had a hot water in the shower. We tried showering in the morning and evening and it kept being cold.

Great place to stay in Rethymno.

Beautiful place to stay in the old town of Rethymno. Newly renovated, spacious rooms which were very well appointed. Close and convenient to parking station and very close and walkable to all sights, the waterfront, restaurants and shopping. Kostantinos the manager, went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and relaxing stay. I would highly recommend this hotel

The Casa Dei Delfini is a marvel of beauty in every detail. Thoughtful touches are found throughout, making a stay there luxurious and uniquely local to this charming and interesting old part of Rethimno. Once an olive oil factory, the two buildings have been lovingly renovated with the expert guidance of the owner's son, an architect. You will enjoy the seamless melding of the Venetian and Ottoman elements that, together, create a modern space with an abundance of light. I was very impressed by the warm welcome we received and the care shown to us. Highly recommended, and a priviledge to visit!

The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. Parking is difficult if you have a car, but that is to be expected since the hotel is in the city center. I loved the architecture of the hotel, and would definitely stay again if I visit Crete again. Hospitality was also great.

Es un hotel precioso en la zona más bonita de Rethymno. Habitaciones muy bonitas y amplias, la nuestra tenía cocina y terraza. Decoración muy cuidada y limpieza excelente. Es muy tranquilo por las noches. Costas y su madre son encantadores y hacen que tu estancia sea aún mejor. El desayuno es también muy bueno y no faltan el yogur griego, el queso feta y dulces típicos de la zona cada mañana. Un 10.
