Beauty of Rethymnon
I've been to Crete in july 2005. We stayed in Brascos hotel in Rethymno.
Rooms are comfortable and clean. Cleaning ladys are doing their job properly.
Girls on the reception were great. Serviceable, pleasant. The rest of the stuff is great too.
You can pay for your own safe.
Hotel offers some organized happenings. One day of the week is Roof bar night, when you can get one free coctail. Barman is very cute ;)
I recomend this hotel to young couples, and young crew. The ones that do not get anoyed by loudness, distance from the beach, etc...
Unique Quality: The location of the hotel is not so good. Cars, skuters, trucks are trafficing all day long, and most of the night too. Good thing about it is that balcon door are made from double layerd glass, so when the door is shut, the noise is almost all gone. Second bad thing about it's location is that its' distance from the beach. About 10-15 minutes walk to the city beach through the Old town of Rethymno. Althou, the walk is colorful, and impressive. Because the Old town is beautiful. And you can never get bored browsing and exploring it.
Hotel have a small pool, not so much for swimming. But it's great if you are detained from going to beach, or just want to have some sun. The pool is closed in the night...
Good thing is the view from the hotel roof, wich is just stunning! You can see most of Rethymno town. Brascos have a roff bar, and it is nice and comfotable. The other good thing is that the Old town is near, and so are restaurants, supermarkets, curch, basketball court, park...
