The hotel is in a really nice area of Rethymno. The room was spacious and comfortable. Only downside was the breakfast, wasn’t what you’d expect at a 4star hotel.

Nice room, great pool and a huge big breakfast buffet. Unfortunately we went when it was holidays so lots of people and kids but it was still really great. They had a live culture band which where mesmerising and 6 dancers which was really special! We loved our stay.

I have only positive comments and no complaints. Everything was perfect. I have stayed in many accommodations throughout Rethymnon and this is by far the best in every regard. Wonderful and professional staff, absolutely delicious food, beautiful courtyard, spacious and clean rooms, comfortable beds, live entertainment, excellent location.

Lovely hotel with very good pool and food
We had a great stay, the room was comfortable, the pool lovely and HEATED a massive bonus in April. Food was always tasty, but could be busy with a bit of elbow barging by some of the other guests! A couple of small details could be improved - the gym was closed which was a shame, there was no notice of this. Our room was se up for 3 rather than four, and the kettle didn't work. The WiFi was good, but sometimes intermittent. Despite these minor issues, we had a great time and would definitely book again.

Empfehlenswert
Ein sehr gepflegtes und sauberes Hotel. Wir, Familie mit zwei volljährigen Kindern, haben zwei wunderschöne Wochen in einem Apartment mit 2 Schlafzimmer mit einem Blick auf den Pool verbracht. Das Apartment war gross, schön und sauber, genau wie auf den Fotos. Das Personal war sehr professionell und zuvorkommend, sowohl im Restaurant als auch an der Rezeption. Frühstücks- und Abendessen ist lecker und abwechslungsreich. Aufgrund des Coronavirus gab es am Buffet keine Selbstbedienung mehr. Stattdessen wurden wir vom Personal bedient. Das Abendessen war typischer Weise von griechischem Essen geprägt, während das Frühstück weniger lokal war. Von den Desserts kann ich vor allem die Baklava empfehlen. Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut, zentral und auch ruhig. Der eigene Sandstrand mit Sonnenliegen (kostenpflichtig) ist etwa 2 Gehminuten entfernt, die schöne Altstadt etwa 10 Min. Die Corona Massnahmen werden sehr ernst genommen: Händedesinfektionmittel steht überall, das Personal mit Masken, Abstand usw. Das WiFi funktioniert und ist nichts Besonderes. Das Abendprogramm gibt es jeden Abend und für jeden Wochentag ist etwas anderes geplant. Es ist mehr oder weniger amüsant. Der Poolbereich ist sauber, jedoch haben wir uns entschieden, ihn nicht zu nutzen und stattdessen im Meer zu baden, welches warm war. Das Hotel hat keine eigenen Parkplätze, doch ist es möglich in der Nähe gratis auf der Strasse zu parken, sofern man einen freien Platz finden kann.

Excellent hotel, location and town!
We are missing this hotel already! The location is fantastic and is only a two minute walk to the beach and roughly ten minute walk to shops, bars and restaraunts. The hotel staff were always welcoming and friendly and offered advice whenever needed. Our welcome was met with some offers as well as a free massage which was really lovely! Breakfast was nice with good options though almost the same everyday. The hotel provided a discounted buffet dinner which was excellent also. The room is a good size and has everything you need for a bed and breakfast stay. Our balcony looked out onto the road which was occasionally noisy earlier than expected but it wasn't much of an issue. Rooms have a fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle etc and the air con is good quality! The hotel has its own private beach area for loungers and umbrellas, which we personally preferred to the pool. The pool was a good size but the beach had more of a breeze (way more bearable). The gym has the basics for a workout and the bar offers good drinks. Rooms always cleaned superbly and beach towels available to be swapped every three days seemed reasonable. We didn't realise quite how perfect the hotel would be or it's significance in the area. Genuinely wouldn't stay anywhere else when we come back to rethymnon.

Delightful Hotel
Really enjoyed our stay at Bio Suites. Beautiful hotel with lovely big apartments. In a good location with an easy 20 min stroll into town. The people on the front desk were really helpful. We had bother with the toilet flushing and a new part was installed straight away. The one negative was the buffet breakfast could have been warmer, eggs, bacon etc, but you could say that about buffet breakfasts in most hotels.

Friendly hotel very close to the beach
Bio hotel is within easy walking distance of all the sites and tastes of Rethmynon's old town. The pool is great but it's only a slip to a great beach, which is even more fun when the waves are coming in. Is recommend it to anyone as it's good value and it seems the staff can't do enough to make your stay a great one.

Good value mid-tier hotel
We spent two nights here in late April. The hotel is a block from the beach and beachfront bistros, and about 15 minutes walk from the port and old town. It seems a well-run, mid-level hotel that does the basics. Nothing fancy, but they get all the important stuff right. We would stay there again.
