The hotel is perfectly located less than 5 minutes walk from both the beach and the old town. It is also on the waterfront so you have a plethora of restaurants, bars and cafes to pick from for eating. The hotel provided breakfast that was fantastic. One cooked egg meal if you choose and a buffet of various greek/Cretan foods. Also fresh cakes, pies and pastries. Coffee on tap. In our room there was a Nespresso machine with some pods as well as teas. They restocked the water in the fridge every day. Our balcony had a great view of the harbour and we could see the Venetian fortress and old town minaret which was fantastic at sunset. The AC was very good and made our room a great respite from the very hot days in August. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, in particular Dimitrious who first greeted us and offered us a drink when we first arrived and we saw a couple more times throughout our holiday. They had lots of information and was always interested to hear how our day was. The reception also had towels to offer for going to the beach. We were here for our honeymoon so had high expectations and honestly Savus hotel exceeded them all. There was a bottle of wine and fruit in the fridge when we arrived and it was a truly wonderful experience.

No hotel specific negatives at all.

+ Beautiful design + I had a very comfortable and practical room, felt like home. I could comfortably unpack. Very calming colours, stylish design, big thank you to the designer of this hotel! Wardrobe, drawers, hooks, everything was thought through. Never had such a comfortable hotel room with such a relaxing vibe. I wish my home was designed like this :) + The hotel felt very safe (important for solo travellers). + Super friendly staff, very calm, smiling, and natural. + Nice Greek style breakfast. If you have special food requirements, you have to let them know. + Nice view from the room and breakfast area. + Very good location (a decent beach 2 minutes walk, the city centre 3 minutes walk, bars, restaurants on the same street). + Extremely clean! + I loved the bed and the choice of pillows. + Extremely clean bed sheets. + Very nice smell in the room and the hotel. + I went to Rethymno to rest and relax, this hotel made it possible. + Breakfast till 11 hrs., so you can sleep longer:)

I loved the hotel, but you should be aware that it is built next to a street, which can get noisy from the cars and scooters. It can be disturbing if you are extra sensitive to noise. I always use earplugs, so that wasn't a problem, I slept great. The hotel felt so great that this was a minor issue, and I would definitely come back.

The breakfast was great, with a tipical cretan touch. The room was perfect, the balcony was great, and the smell in the hotel it was something special. Everything was clean, the cleaning service was spotless. Also the front desk people were fantastic. For a Boutique Hotel, it is a great experience.

The only issue we had was with the noise. The hotel is located on the front strip, and even dough the windows are insulated, you could still hear the noise, especially from the scouters, that when on rambling all night. If you wanna go and relax, you should pick the off season, beacuse in august is very noisy.

Super friendly helpful staff View during breakfast Everything is new and nicely decorated

It would be nice to have more coffee options like cappuccino and fresh orange juice Small things that can easily make a change: More hanging options inside the room for towels etc. More hanging options outside on the balcony

Location is 5 min away from both Old Town and the beach; We were nicely welcomed; the 24h reception is a plus; We were offered a good price for a car rental through the hotel's partnership; Breakfast was good (but not varied)

We had a room with sea view and every morning we would open the window for some fresh air but unfortunately the pollution from the cars & motorcycles was very bad; the noise from the street was not terrible (even for light sleepers); Overall, we considered this hotel a bit expensive for what it has to offer.

It was a pleasure to stay in this hotel. The staff was really kind, helpful, always ready to give recommendations about restaurants, beaches, trips etc. Unfortunately when my trip was cancelled, they did their best to arrange another one for me. Thanks to all of them, even if I travelled alone I felt very comfortable and not alone at all. The room was spacious, clean, modern, appropriately furnished, the bed was really comfortable, especially the pillows and I appreciated the balcony with a lovely view. You can connect your electronic devices to a smart TV via Bluetooth and for example play your favorite music, which I appreciated. There was nothing to complain about. Eggs on different style were prepared every morning, always fresh and tasty. What I appreciated the most, even though they offered homemade products for breakfast, there was always plenty of choices. I liked a location of the hotel which is close to the old town but also to the beach by walk. If you are looking for a small comfortable hotel with a good atmosphere and friendly staff, this will be the best choice. I would definitelly come back.

We liked everything about this hotel! We got upgraded upon arrival which was a lovely surprise. The hotel is spotless, the staff is so attentive and helpful and the breakfast varies every day, with so much to choose from plus a different egg dish every day. The hotel staff helped us with the transfer from the airport and to book or call taxis whenever we needed them. The location is perfect as it’s just outside the old town and it’s so easy to get to both the old town and the beach. Our room was overlooking the port/onto the main road but we had no issues with the noise as the building is very well insulated.

Nothing!

We stayed in a superior room on the fourth floor with a sea view. Great room with a great view. Great location in between old town and the beach, everything we wanted to go was within walking distance. The room was well cleaned and we were well taken care of by the staff.

The door to the room where you enter from the stairwell is not well soundproofed at all and we were woken up by traffic from the stairwell during the night quite often throughout our stay. In fact when people were closing their doors, you woke up to the sounds. A major fault considering that almost everything else in this hotel is first class. The breakfast was decent, it has a Greek theme and e.g. the eggs were pre-determined by the hotel for each day and you can't just get scrambled eggs, e.g. not the typical one you are used to in hotels in general.

The rooms were super clean, very modern and spacious. We had a nice balcony in the 3rd floor with a good view of the harbour and sea. The breakfast was superb and freshly made and locally sourced. Especially the "egg of the day" was always nice. The staff was very welcoming, helpful and warm. Really enjoyed our time there.

At least for our room: While the Bathroom had a nice and spacious shower the sink was located outside it, beside the entrance door (still in our room of course). You find this quite frequently in Greece and it's not terribly inconvenient, it's just something to be aware of.

The location of this boutique hotel was SO convenient. We could walk to the beach, plenty of parking across the street, all in the middle of the city of Rethymnon, facing the Aegean. Beautiful rooms, amazing breakfast and the staff was instrumental in making our stay fun and memorable. Yiannis was very accommodating with our room requests, Lucia of the morning shift was very helpful with anything we needed, and Dimitris of the afternoon shift was full of suggestions on where to go/what to do/ what restaurants to visit, made the reservations for us and made our stay a 5 star experience. Can't wait to return to Savus!

I loved it all.
