Guest reviews
Exceptional
Convenient location, but far too noisy
Liked: The location itself is quite convenient, although the hotel is on a busy street, so I imagine the street-facing rooms can be quite noisy as well. The staff were mostly kind and helpful, which I appreciated.
Disliked: The main issue here is the noise. The hotel has very little soundproofing, so you can easily hear doors, TVs, conversations and snoring from neighbouring rooms. The close-set rooms, tiled surfaces and gaps around the doors make everything echo. Housekeeping was particularly disruptive, with loud chatting, doors slamming and vacuum cleaners hitting walls and doors from around 7:30–8:00 AM. One morning, this continued for hours and made it difficult to sleep or even relax. I complained and was kindly moved to another room, and things did become quieter towards the end of my stay. My room faced a rather claustrophobic inner yard, while the hotel itself is on a busy street. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a quiet or relaxing stay.
A pleasant stay in Rethymno
Liked: We had a very pleasant stay here - the rooms were clean and comfortable, with comfy beds and pillows, great A/C, excellent water pressure, and a nice big sink. The breakfast met all our needs, with lots of Greek options as well as eggs, bacon, etc. I liked the varieties of bread and pastry that changed daily! The owners and staff were lovely people, kind and very helpful with buying bus tickets and booking cabs and such. It's a bit of a walk to the town center, but super-close to Rethymno beach, easy to pop back and forth to the hotel if you forget your sunscreen:)
Disliked: Obviously the traffic is beyond the owners' control, but the mopeds in particular can be noisy at all hours. We used a noise-canceling phone app (MyNoise), which helped a lot! Sensitive folks might want to request a room on the side away from the street.
Excellent hotel. Superb service and helpful friendly owners. Would highly recommend
Liked: 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.
Good stay in Rethymno
Liked: Good location at about 5 mins on foot from the beach — the town centre is a bit farther away, at approximately 15 mins. Breakfast was small but it had everything I needed. The staff are very welcoming!
Disliked: The room was not too soundproof.
A family-run hotel at the best location possible
Liked: It was our third stay at Astali. I believe this is the best location in Rethymno. The old city and the beach is only a few minutes walking distance. The staff is absolutely kind, we always enjoy our stay. See you next year;)
Disliked: The sewers are a problem in the city, they can be smelly, but this is not something that the hotel can control...
Liked: The place is spotless, the people who work there are awesome and they give a great free breakfast considering the price point
