We had a wonderful stay at Swell Boutique hotel. Staff really were amazing, they were always so helpful and friendly. Our room was lovely and had a beautiful sea view. It was split over 2 floors, upstairs having its own bathroom too, lots of wardrobe space and storage. The stairs were a little steep so had to be extra careful coming down. The bathroom could do with updating (like a rainfall shower) but beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows to choose from. Room service was daily and the ladies were so lovely. Really good breakfast selection, something for everyone and certain options changed daily. I really liked that they had local sweets/pastries so could try different things (all absolutely delicious!) The hotel is very conveniently located, about a flat 10 minute walk to the Old Town but plenty of restaurants, bars and shops around. Although it’s right by the road we weren’t disturbed by any outside noise. The hotel has a nice small pool to the side or is across the road from the sandy beach. Hotel guests get discounted sunbeds and you can get food/drink to the beach too. We were so sad to leave, Rethymno is such a beautiful place and we would definitely recommend Swell Boutique!

Clean and pleasant boutique hotel on the seafront, with a really helpful and friendly staff. Parking is limited but easily managed with a little help from hotel reception. The restaurants around the hotel are fun and good value, or a walk up to the harbour area and old town offers lots more great options.

The property was beyond welcoming especially as we arrived later than we anticipated. They were able to have dinner ready for us and continued to do so throughout our stay. I would highly recommend getting the dinners included with your room. It was the perfect way to experience a variety of Mediterranean cuisine! George and the rest of the restaurant staff were so attentive and friendly! George even gave us a list of words to say in Greek which we used through the week! The room was also amazing. It was clean, extremely spacious, and had a view of the beach. The location couldn’t have been better. We were a simple walk to town and a short cab ride away from the bus station!

Swell Boutique hotel in Rethymnon is fantastic!

The Swell Boutique hotel was fantastic! All the front desk and meal staff were so helpful and always addressed all our needs. Lina at the front desk was amazing- she was incredible! She spent so much time helping us to plan our days and our touring, looking up details regarding distances and directions, calling museums and restaurants, and checking in with us regularly about follow-up. She went above and beyond, always with a smile!! We were so impressed! The hotel was in a perfect location and we walked everywhere in the town and had easy access to the highway for driving and sightseeing.

3e séjour toujours parfait !

Il s’agit de notre 3e séjour dans cet hôtel et nous ne sommes jamais déçu. Globalement tout est parfait. Une vue magnifique, une jolie chambre certes pas immense pour 3 mais c’est pas grave nous ne faisons que y dormir… le petit déjeuner est toujours très bon et varié, le personnel est charmant … bref nous aimons beaucoup cet hôtel… Seul petit bémol la literie (du moins dans notre chambre est à revoir… le fauteuil convertible pour un ado de 17 ans est un peu limite … et notre lit n’était pas du plus grand confort non plus…)
