Hamam Oriental Suites

We had an incredible stay here and were sad when we had to leave. This place is really one of a kind and is very unique. There's 6 rooms and each of them not only look different but also offer different amenities. The rooms are exactly as pictured. Everything was nice and clean when we arrived. I really like how they provide beach towels and a beach blanket. As our room had a mini kitchen we had a few pots and pans as well as basic cutlery and plates. There was also some salt in the kitchen. I asked for cooking oil and pepper which Michalis was able to provide. There is no washer in the room however, a wash basin was provided upon request. They also provided some laundry detergent in the room. It's located in the old town which was very convenient especially as we didn't have a car. It's a close walk to everything including the main bus terminal (about 8 mins) which we utilized a lot as we did a lot of day trips. There are an endless supply of restaurants, cafes, and shops in the area. It is also in a quiet area so we did not get any street noise. As this is a small family run business, there is no one at the front desk overnight (this was not an issue for us). Michalis and his father are amazing people. I can't say enough great things about them. If I ever needed anything Michalis would immediately provide it. There was also one day when Michalis' mom Frosso was working the front desk as the other two were unavailable and she was just as lovely. She even saw me walking down the stairs with my luggage and instantly ran up to help me carry it down. There was also a student worker who did a wonderful job. We received a really sweet and thoughtful gift from them upon check out. One thing I will point out is that if you are booking the Dahlia room there is only one bed and not two as previously advertised. They had done some renovations recently and removed the sofa bed. Michalis said that he will update this info in their listing. There is also no elevator so you have to carry your stuff up the stairs. I would definitely stay here again if I come to Crete and will recommend this place to everyone I know.

What a special place this is. Truly beautiful and unique suites decorated with exquisite taste and attention to detail; you know from the moment you step through the door that your host wants you to have a really wonderful time. And that’s because it’s run by wonderful people. Michalis and his dad are so kind, welcoming and generous. You have all the finesse of a top-quality boutique hotel coupled with the very best of warm, Greek hospitality. I felt like a princess in the magical hamam suite, with its historic domed ceiling pierced with stars, αnd its fabulous little private marble steam room. Truly a one-of-a-kind place. I also spent time in the gorgeous suite with outdoor jacuzzi; this was such a relaxing and perfect experience I barely wanted to set foot outdoors. On your doorstep, however, are the pretty alleyways of Rethymnon’s old town and a multitude of restaurants, shops and bars, as well as the historic harbour and Venetian fortress. Everything was utterly perfect. One of the loveliest places I’ve ever stayed, and I sincerely hope to return.

Perfect stay in an old Turkish Hamam, on the ground floor room in the original steam room, was excellent in every way. The attached steam room and shower room, are both largely original, and the sleeping area is both spacious and comfortable. I couldn’t fault this at the price, and location!
