The Hotel was very nice and conveniently located a little bit outside the centre, but still walking distance. There is a decent size pool and a small beach just opposite. The staff was very friendly. I would recommend the hotel.

My second time staying here and it likely won't be my last! A truly great little hotel with wonderful staff and owner who can't do enough for you. Rooms are clean spacious and bright with beautiful views, pool is clean and with plenty of loungers. Location is fantastic, 10-15 mins into Rethymno old town. Parking right outside the hotel, and Rethymno is an ideal base for exploring much of the island. All in all, stay at the Archipelagos, you won't regret it!

Hotel Archipelagos
Lovely clean hotel. Rooms were spacious, and we had a great view of the sea. Room 906. Not 5 star standards, but great value for money. Breakfast was typically Greek and something there for everyone.

Excellent location with views outside the old town
A new favorite for us in the Rethymno area. It is a little bit of a walk to the old town but the convenience of parking and walking was worth it for us. The hotel is clean, everyone was friendly, the breakfast was delicious and the views were amazing! We will be back again next year for a longer stay!

The Archipelagos Hotel was an absolutely fantastic place to stay. The Hotel, pool area and rooms were stunning and high quality, and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. It was a five star experience with a personal and local touch. Great value for money and wonderful hospitality. The location is also very convenient - there is a little sandy beach and a bus stop just outside the hotel, and the Fortress, Old Town and bus station are all walking distance. The Hotel is well equipped with anything you may need - a small fridge, a pool, beach accessories like umbrellas and toys you can use, and books as well. The food at breakfast and at the pool bar/kitchen was delicious too. Highly recommend this place for families and Honeymooners alike.

Perfect!
From start to finish the hotel staff were amazing very friendly and extremely helpful from car hire to bus trips or anything we needed to know about the area. It is quite a large hotel but has the atmosphere of a family friendly one. Our studio was perfect for the two of us with a modern feel and was cleaned every day at our convenience. The location is perfect overlooking the sea with a small quiet beach and and within walking distance of the beautiful old town with its narrow streets restaurants and shops. The atmosphere has a great vibe day or night. Getting there from the airport of Chania was 80 Euro by taxi but don’t be afraid to use the buses. We returned to the airport on the local air conditioned bus booked at the nearby bus station for 8 Euros each and it was quicker than the taxi. Great hotel lovely area and lovely people. Would defiantly recommend the hotel and location.

Lovely stay...
A very convenient position for the Old Town. Recently updated to a high standard, the owner Stelios and staff could not be more accommodating. Friendly, informative, always helpful. Lovely views from the balcony. Lovely clean safe pool,a nice bar offering nice simple lunches and snacks as well as a good range of refreshments. Many people only use it as a stopover, we were pleased to stay for two weeks and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. I would add one or two observations, not as a criticism, but information for travellers. There are no cooking facilities in the room, tea and coffee making facilities only, and a toaster if you ask for it. Our room had no safety box. There was no drawer space for clothes and limited shelving. The only table is on the balcony. This may be a problem for some people. It wasn't for us. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sorry to leave.

Good hotel with nice view
We had very good time at Cyprus. The owner of the hotel is very friendly and cooperative. He recommended to us good places for eating and visiting. Stuff changed shower tub by our request. we had room on 5th flour and nice view on harbor and Fortecia, Hotel doesn't have own parking, but it's good free parking near by. The beach near by is public, small, good for children, but doesn't have shower or bathroom.

The air conditioning was broken and could not be used. It was 32 degrees Celsius outside. They had no other room or could not fix the air conditioning. We ended up booking a new hotel at our own cost. We got no refunds from Archipelagos other then a voucher on 50 €. That was all. No respond on emails later. Nothing. I do not recommend this hotel!!!!!
