Hotel Ideon

Great hotel, highly recommended

This is a great hotel. We had an updated room with a sea view which came with a nice little balcony. Parking is a nigh**are in this area, and reception told us to park up the road but everywhere was full. It turns out they have an arrangement with the car park over the road to give free parking to their guests - you have to badger the reception to get this though, so badger away. The room was very modern with touch screen light controls and a comfy bed, good shower etc. very nice, and between the sea and the old town so it is easy to walk anywhere in Rethymnon: loads of bars and restaurants nearby. The bar has reasonable prices and the wifi was good. Sadly the TV is nailed to the wall so I was unable to connect my laptop and watch my choice of stuff on the TV. Breakfast is a full buffet with continental and bacon eggs etc, very good considering the price we paid (€65 for 1 night). A great place to stay if you are visiting Rethymnon. It was great to have tea and coffee making facilities, but they don't give you any tea, coffee, milk or sugar to make it with! You don't even get a teaspoon! We had to go an buy our own teabags and milk. Come on Ideon, this is very silly considering how good the rest of the hotel is.

First time at this hotel, and booked it because of the excellent location. However hotel has been totally refurbed and it is brilliant. Our room was spacious and the shower was brilliant, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including a phone recharging point! Staff are lovely and really helpful. Hope to visit again at some time in the future.

From reception to housekeeping, every member of staff deserves a mention, the bar staff were outstanding, made three old ladies spend too much money Ha Ha, breakfast was superb, rooms and cleanliness outstanding, I can only say I will be back, Thank You

Excellent location on the edge of the old town and waterfront. Spacious comfortable room. Good breakfast.

Visit number 7 and it just keeps getting better. All bedrooms are now refurbished with fantastic showers, air con and greater luxury. The staff are really what makes The Ideon so wonderful, from the initial greeting at Reception, the staff at breakfast who are always smiling and happy, the charming cleaning staff and then the amazing bar staff, both behind the bar and those waiting staff, including Joseph and Kostas. Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful stay and see you next year. It’s such a treat to come back.

This hotel was perfect for our family holiday. The staff were all attentive and friendly. Breakfast buffet was very efficiently managed with a good selection on offer. The location is also excellent, sea view and close to the old town. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Hotel in every way, rooms cleaned every day, very spacious, we stayed in room 316 for a week (27 July). We must thank all the staff on our stay, beautiful people. We saw a few familiar faces, in the restaurant, still very friendly and remembered us on our third trip to the hotel. We are mother and daughter. The hotel is right in the middle of everything, it's perfect for all travellers. We hope to see you all again, love from Janet and Gillian x
