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.

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!

Perfect location . Hotel clean and staff friendly and helpful . It wasn’t quite the boutique experience but overall it was good . If I were to describe amenities I would not mention the gym . Equipment old and rusty and not really usable . Needs to be removed . Rooms are fine but slightly tired . Breakfast satisfactory - a reasonable range of food types . I would stay here again but would not expect luxury, however the location makes up for it .

Estuvimos alojados dos días y los dos se fue la luz. El último a las 7:00 de la mañana hasta las 10:00 con lo cual la luz de emergencia me daba directamente en la cara, difícil dormir. Ni una disculpa por los inconvenientes por parte del hotel. Las cortinas no aislaban la habitación de la luz por la mañana. El desayuno mediocre, productos de baja calidad. La unica cafetera no funcionó el seguro día, no pudimos ni tomar café. No lo recomiendo y no entiendo que tenga una valoración tan alta.

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…)
