We popped in for a drink before dinner and ordered two aperol spritz from a very grumpy waiter. Nice drink, bad service. The bar felt unwelcoming and uncomfortable. A small additional point, although the bar snacks are free, it’s helpful not to include one or two unshelled pistachios in a bowl of salted nuts! It’s an unwelcome surprise!

I've been staying for a 5-day-getaway at the Jo-An Palace and everything felt immaculate! The hotel is an minimal-chic designed one, matching to the fullest my aesthetic when searching for a hotel, located in the heart of Rethymnon, literally 5' on foot from everywhere. There are some markets, coffee shops and stores nearby so you've got everything needed. It's spotlessly clean and the whole staff is beyond kind and helpful. Thank you Jo-An, you gonna see me back!

We loved staying at this hotel . Firstly it is a 5 minute walk into the old town which is really handy. Secondly the staff are so friendly and helpful especially the reception staff. We really liked the refurbished rooms and the simplicity of them . The pool area and the views from it are great . Whilst we couldn’t park around the street near the hotel ( it was busy) there was a public car park next door that you can park in except on a Thursday as it’s market day. If you ask the kiosk people in the car park they will give you a daily ticket for 5 Euros rather than an hourly one which would be expensive . We will definitely return.

We stayed here for 4 nights as a couple. Rethymno itself is so lovely but I found the Hotel was a little more basic than we were expecting. Pool is nice enough, as is the bar and breakfast area. However, the rooms are very average. The bed was simply two singles pushed together and we kept finding black hairs everywhere. Further to this, we also found our safe and shower didn’t work and asked for them to take a look- which they never did. As a result, we found ourselves hiding our passports and using the small handheld shower. If you’re not too fussed on where you lay your head, this Hotel is fine, but personally I was expecting it to be nicer than it was. Some positives I will mention- the Hotel is in a great location (5-minute walk from the old town) and the staff were always polite and friendly.…

The hotel/rooms are clean are cosy. The personnel (receptionists, waiters, baristas, cleaning team) are super kind and always there for you. I especially loved the interactions with a certain receptionist and a waitress, her name being Maria. So kind. I recommend this place.

The hotel has been Completely renovated, very modern meets 1960’s ( A style I personally am not a big fan of) and Extremely clean. Friendly staff. The rooms are too small, there are tiny LED’s on all the time

Great hotel, completely renovated, modern. Food was delicious and variety was sufficient. Very friendly and helpful staff made our stay comfortable. Location is perfect: few minutes walk to the old town packed with shops, cafes and restaurants. Crossing the old town leads to the seaside. Slightly longer walk to better beaches.

The rating relates to the travel period August 2021 (Corona) and room 115, traveling as a couple without children. Normal requirements for equipment and food, no luxury travelers. Hotel in general Completely renovated and very stylish, chic and modern, rooms, restaurant, bar and pool area. Few parking spaces in front of the hotel but about a 2-5 minute walk public parking lot day ticket 5 euros. As it seems usual in Greece, the safe in the room costs extra, towels from the room are not allowed to be taken to the pool, some can be borrowed for a fee. Since the pool can also be used by non-hotel guests, it is unfortunately not possible to use it spontaneously, either you reserve in the morning with your towels or at the reception. Because of the non-hotel guests the pool occasionally becomes a children's pool when 10 small children practice swimming and diving. Very central location, the old town and the beach can be reached quickly. Meal Breakfast as a buffet was completely sufficient. Dinner as a buffet, salad and desserts very tasty, main courses relatively little choice and not our taste. Unfortunately, the food was also not labeled. Half board does not include drinks, 1 liter of carbonated water and 2 wine costs 12.5 euros. Corona requires disposable gloves and wearing a mask at the buffet, but this was disregarded by many guests and unfortunately tolerated by the staff. The atmosphere in the restaurant area is calm and relaxed. Room 115 Standard Room First floor and balcony to the street If possible, take a room on a higher floor to have a better view and more quite. In the case of small things, the design was more important than the function, so you can only switch on the light in the bathroom next to the entrance door, the shower partition is too narrow, the entire bathroom gets wet when you shower, no doormat in the bathroom. The room was very badly soundproofed both from the street and from the hotel hallway. The beds are very comfortable only the pillows were too hard for us.
