Disliked: Amenities
Booked a “Superior” room and they gave us a broom closet. We were supposed to have twin beds, but they gave us a king. Housekeeping then converted it into two twin beds pressed up against one another. Not like the photos at all (or my prior stay at the hotel). When I mentioned this, reception gave me he key to a larger room to look at. It was in line with the hotel photos, but the safe in this room was tiny and could not hold my valuables (the safe in the first room could). When I mentioned this, no further alternatives were offered so we chose the broom closet (and they charged me to use the safe). 12 tv channels worked, but 10 were in German (they offer 40 channels—this has nothing to do with the channels they tell you in advance they can’t get, these are the ones they offer but weren’t working). There is no maintenance person or manager before 9 or after 5. Bathroom was more of a wet room. Water temperature and pressure were inconsistent during the same shower. No working space in the bedroom or bathroom. Breakfast was disorganized and two of the breakfast ladies were unprofessional and irritating. Asked reception for a North American adapter. They gave me one for the UK. Asked again and they said they didn’t have one (that’s after two trips to reception). Receptionist was clueless when asked for a beach bed or restaurant recommendation. A very disappointing and uncomfortable two days. Will not return. Ever. Will never recommend.

Room spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and choice of pillows! Fabulous breakfast. Location perfect. Only thing that let the room down was lack of usable storage space for clothes. Large wardrobe but only a few hangers and no drawers large enough to put clothes in.

This is my second trip to the Atrium Ambiance Hotel and it didn't disappoint. The room was great and the hotel is in a good location, close to the beach and not too far from the centre of Rethymno. All staff were charming and helpful and I would like to say a special thanks to the bar staff Sissy and Nikos who were really lovely and looked after us every evening. Would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Pleasant stay

Nice hotel in good location. Staff friendly and rooms small but nice. A kettle in the room but no tea or coffee sachets. The swimming pool was too dirty to use (cloudy and with sand) and mostly in the shade. Location good near the beach and the old town. Of course this makes it noisy - light sleepers might need earplugs!

Sehr leckeres Frühstück sowie Abendbuffet. Die Regelung mit der Bezahlung der Getränke müsste nochmal überarbeitet werden. Man muss aktuell jeden Abend unterschreiben, wenn man die Getränke nach dem Aufenthalt zahlen möchte. Besser wäre es hier wenn sich das einmal im System für die Zimmernummer gemerkt werden würde. Sehr schöne Zimmer - Reinigung, wenn gewollt, jeden Tag. Trotz einem Zimmer mit Stadtblick konnten ohne Lärm super schlafen. Hotel sehr zentral und alles mit einem kurzen Fußweg zu erreichen.

Fantastisk opphold

To helt fantastiske netter på dette flotte hotellet. Vi har nå bodd her 4 år på rad, kommer tilbake år etter år, topp service, kjempe gode senger, en helt fantastisk frokost med alt du måtte ønske deg å spise. Middags bufeene er også helt utrolig bra. Bare synd at magen blir så fort mett. Personalet gjør alt de kan for at oppholdet skal gå din vei.
