Imperial Palace Adults Only

Hôtel propre et personnel très aimable. Repas variés et très bons . Héléni ( la Directrice ) proche de ses clients et toujours un petit mot gentil. Décoration des chambres et des suites très soignée. Nous avons fait un agréable séjour pour la seconde fois et nous reviendrons, nous voyageons beaucoup dans le monde et cet Hôtel est une référence de qualité. ENCORE MERCI A TOUS

On arrival at about 11 pm we were given a lovely salad which was a nice touch. Our room was a 'basic' room which was just fine for us. The beds were two singles pushed together but extremely comfortable. The room was cleaned everyday. The air conditioning worked well. We had a small balcony (ground floor). Pool towels were supplied, tea and coffee making facilities, fridge and safe. Just enough room for hanging clothes. We were half board and found the selection of food was really good. There wasn't any entertainment but there is a nice pool bar which stays open late. We tried a couple of beaches across the road (about 10 minutes walk). They weren't beautiful by any means but fine for sunbathing with somewhere to get food and drink nearby. The hotel isn't close to any shops or restaurants other than a pizza place which seemed to have closed down for the season and a good small supermarket. The bus journey into Rithymno is cheap and easy to use. Rithymno is gorgeous for food, drink and shopping. Return taxi was around €18 (last bus back 11 pm). One day we took two buses to Chania which took about 2 hours. We didn't go on any day trips because we just wanted to relax. We recommend reading TripAdvisor reviews before you book trips. On our last day our pick up from the hotel (transfer time 2 hours) was around 5 pm so we sunbathed by the pool and were able to use showers situated near reception. Overall we found all the staff friendly and helpful and would certainly consider returning to this hotel.

Myself and partner stayed here for 10 days earlier in September. We had a really great time and loved staying at this hotel. There was a great choice of food at breakfast and dinner, including some more traditional Greek options, and something different each night. The food from the pool bar during the day was also really tasty and reasonably priced, if we didn't fancy going out for lunch. The staff were all friendly and really helpful. We rented a car for a few days from reception as they have some cars outside the hotel. At first this was slightly more expensive than other options but they had a good deal on that made it worthwhile, and really easy to just pick up the keys from reception and go. The overall atmosphere was nice and chilled, the location is great if you're looking to be out of the way from some of the busier tourist areas closer to Rethymno. Overall we loved our stay and would be very happy to recommend this hotel.
