Astali Hotel

"The family-run Astali Hotel in Rethymno is an absolute stroke of luck and made my stay unforgettable. The warmth of Chrysanthi and her two sons Yannis and Marios, who run the house together, is hard to beat. Unfortunately, I suffered a broken arm on the very first day. In this stressful situation, the family's extraordinary helpfulness was evident: They did not hesitate for a second, organized everything, and Yannis accompanied me personally to the doctor as well as for X-rays. This care goes far beyond normal service. Otherwise, the hotel shines with its central location, from which you can easily reach both the beach and the old town on foot. The rooms and common areas are extremely clean and well-maintained. In the morning, a super breakfast awaits guests, which is prepared with love. In the evening, the cozy terrace invites you to linger to let the day wind down in a relaxed way. An all-around very positive experience in a wonderfully familiar atmosphere! Thanks again for everything"

"A real home in Rethymnon We've been coming here for years and every time it feels like coming home. Astali Hotel is a warm family hotel where you don't feel like a guest, but rather a friend. The hotel is clean and has a prime location: a few minutes walk from the beach and about 10 minutes from the cozy old town. Shops, restaurants and cafes are all nearby. The rooms are simply furnished but very clean and equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The staff is always ready to help. Nothing is too much for them and they always receive you with a smile. Upon arrival there is always a nice attention in the room for us to welcome us again. That makes it extra special. We have also stayed in more luxurious hotels, but they cannot match the warm, family atmosphere of Astali Hotel for us. The value for money is excellent. Breakfast is also very catered for, with fresh products. The buffet is not overly extensive, but certainly offers more than enough choice and everything is tasty and fresh. For us this is without a doubt an absolute must. We are already looking forward to our next stay in September!"

"My family and I (wife and three children) stayed at the family-run Astali Hotel for three nights whilst visiting Rethymno for a family wedding. We booked through booking.com and regularly communicated with the Hotel via that app. We had a few requests due to our early arrival and Marios was exceptionally responsive and helpful. The family owners really make you feel very welcome and valued as their guest. The hotel itself is perfectly located and has all amenities you could need. The rooms are spotlessly clean and decorated to a high standard. I have stayed in many hotels in Europe and beyond before but this was the only hotel which I feel I should strongly recommend."
