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!

• Super clean • Central location • Incredibly modern room design • A room nothing is missing

A friendly welcome to a pretty accommodation with a lovely garden and patio area. The room was spacious and colourfully coordinated. Comfortable bed, good shower, kettle etc. The location was perfect and I would certainly recommend a stay here.

What an extraordinary place! The location is perfect, everything within reach, even the designated town’s parking is close. It is on a very wide and airy central Square and very easy to find. The rooms are unique and very well designed, a balanced combination of traditional and modern with lovely views. Very clean well-equipped and cozy. The staff are all very warm, accommodating, kind and friendly! I would definitely go back again!

Everything was perfect! Staff was sweet, breakfast was well served, room was cozy and comfortable, shower was great, location was also great

One of the nicest places I have stayed in. Room was huge, very comfortable bed, nice bathroom and a big balcony area with a jacuzzi that looks out onto this sea. Staff were very friendly too. Beach is only a short walk away and beside the old town. Would stay here again.
