After reading the glowing reviews for this hotel my wife and I had great expectations. Yes the hotel is scrupulously clean and the rooms are pleasant if not overly large and the bathrooms are very good. However I would take exception at the reviews that rate the breakfast as excellent. We found the food monotonous with almost no variation for... More

We first went to the Astali in '98, we were looking for a Thomson's "Small and Friendly" because we'd enjoyed good holidays with this type of hotel on other Greek islands. To say we were not disappointed would be an understatement! We could not recommend the Astali more highly. We returned in 2002, again in 2008, and we've just arrived... More

From start to finish, the family were very welcoming. They and their staff take great pride in their hotel. It is spotlessly clean in the public areas, as well as guests' rooms. Soft clean towels are provided and the room cleaned daily. We stayed in two rooms during our stay. The first was a small double overlooking the central courtyard.... More

Booked this hotel on the basis of the tripadvisor reviews and was not disappointed in any way. No point in me repeating all of what others have reported except to say if you want a good, clean, well run hotel which is convenient for Rethymnon old town and beach then this is the place to stay. The only improvement I... More

A family run hotel which is a real pleasure to stay at. Located within an easy walk to both the beach, 5 minutes and the old town, 10 minutes at a pretty gentle pace. The family made our stay for us; they are so welcoming and available to help at all hours. Bedrooms are on the small size but are... More

We have just returned from our fourth consecutive stay at the Astali Hotel and once again we had a brilliant time! The hotel has the perfect location and the family that run the Astali are the nicest, friendliest people you could wish to meet. The hotel itself is immacualtley clean and the rooms are a great size with air conditioning... More

It was before 2000 when I stayed in this hotel and in the last years they renovated the place. It is a good 3 star hotel on walking distance from the old town and from the long sandy beach. Friendly management, good breakfast and for good food go to Takis Mezedopolio on the beach road. More

Hotel Astali is situated perfectly..within walking distance to the beach (literally 3 minutes away), the old town, the marina, and the bus station, for when you want to go on day trips to Xania or Iraklio. It is close to a lot of the tour agencies and rental car agencies as well so arranging travel is quite convenient. The rooms... More

My wife and I have just returned from a ten day holiday at the Astali Hotel. We enjoyed our stay. The family that manage the hotel (sorry I can't remember your names), could not do enough for us. We were advised where the best restaurants were, where to go etc. The room was spotless and the towels and sheets were... More
