Hotels in Old Town Rethymno, Rethymno Town

Our 3-night stay at Pepi Boutique Hotel was dreamy and unforgettable. Housed in a historic building—one of the first mixed boys and girls Primary School in Crete—it has been lovingly transformed by the owners into a stylish and charming boutique hotel, blending Venetian architecture with modern comforts. The staff’s kindness was exceptional. Despite a hot water issue in our suite, they provided access to a neighbouring room and refunded one night’s stay as an apology. Elefteria, the lovely receptionist, was beyond helpful, making us feel truly cared for. The young manager/owner made us feel truly special and welcomed, and we would like to thank him for that. Breakfast was a highlight, with fresh, locally sourced dishes tailored to our low-carb diet—don’t miss the poached eggs with smoked salmon or the Cretan omelette. Enjoying breakfast in the lush courtyard surrounded by historic walls and exotic plants was pure bliss. Our suite was comfortable, featuring antique stone walls, large windows overlooking the garden and pool, and a unique wooden platform bed. The hotel is filled with thoughtful details, like a vintage Singer sewing machine next to a modern iMac, a beautiful wine cellar, and a selection of books to enjoy. Meeting the founder, who named the hotel after his wife, added a personal and touching connection to our stay. Pepi Boutique Hotel is a perfect blend of history, culture, and hospitality, and we are already planning to return! We left Pepi Boutique Hotel with full hearts and are already planning our return. It is a place where history and hospitality come together to create memories that linger long after departure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly special stay in Rethymno!

absolutely gorgeous property and staff were welcoming, friendly and funny!

Atmosphere, attention to every detail, kindly staff. Really was impressed. Incredible stay.

The hotel is located in a Venetian house (probably 500 years old) in the heart of the old town. Recently renovated to a very high standard, it combines modern amenities with old, beautiful walls. Despite its central location, the square by the mosque turned out to be quiet at night. Very polite staff. Highly recommended.
 Driving into the narrow streets of the old town is, of course, impossible, so parking is available at a nearby city parking lot by the large square. A few minutes' walk is not an issue. Parking is covered by the hotel. We received precise instructions. Around 5 PM, we parked without any problems, but in the morning, we saw a long line of cars trying to get in. I think they could have waited up to an hour.

The location of Lefaki is perfect for 2 night old town break. Free parking is a 5 minute flat walk away. Courtyard garden and a roof terrace. Very comfortable beds. Elena the owner is friendly and helpful.

Superb location, communication with Kandy was great!
