Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Thalassa Boutique Hotel is known for its beautiful and spacious split-level rooms, some boasting incredible sea views from their balconies, creating the impression of being right over the water. Many guests appreciate having a sitting area, a kitchen downstairs, and the large shower and separate bath. While the hotel is located just outside Rethymno, some have noted that the walk to the old town isn't particularly scenic. Guests also highly recommend the hotel restaurant and nearby Karnagio for dining, with hotel guests receiving a discount at the hotel restaurant.
