The Avli Lounge apartments are beautiful! We stayed in the Candy Suite for about four days. As mentioned in several reviews, location is excellent, and we were able to walk everywhere. Both Stelios' and Nickos were always available and helpful for everything. Do note that there is no elevator as the hotel is in Old Town and they preserve the structures. That also means you have cobblestone streets which still require effort for even the smoothest luggage. The suite we were in was on the 3rd floor and I overpacked as usual. The guys were wonderful in assisting us up with all our stuff. Would love to revisit Crete and stay at the Avli again!

My husband and I loved this hotel’s ambiance in its decor, location, restaurant and especially its gorgeous courtyard restaurant. They offered a complimentary breakfast that was absolutely amazingly delicious, unique and plentiful. I would definitely go back just for their breakfast! Unfortunately we were there for only one night but due to the hotel’s location and their willingness to hold our luggage for a few hours, we were able to visit some of the main sights & local shops of Rhethymno. The hotel was difficult to find especially if you arrive at night as it is in the midst of many busy restaurants & shops. Look for street level Avli & Raki Ba Raki signs on the buildings. The Avli hotel reception entrance is next to the Raki Ba Raki restaurant. The room we stayed in was above and close to the noisy restaurants so I would recommend you request a quieter room if necessary. Other than that I would highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel located in car free zone but hotel did not provide any guidance of where to park. Good service and lovely included breakfast in the courtyard. Hotel set up was confusing as there are three separate buildings. Not advised that our room would be a three story walk up. Room had one air conditioning unit but notwithstanding the extreme heat the hotel did not turn on the ac. For the cost it was not acceptable that it took 12 hours for the room finally to cool off.
