Avli Lounge Apartments

My girlfriend and I stayed three nights at Avli in late October of 2023. I can’t say enough good things about our experience! Our suite was beautiful and spacious with a wonderful private terrace which overlooked the charming cobblestone streets of Rethymno. There are two restaurants just below our suite (Avli and Raki Baraki) which offer some of the best food in a town known for its cuisine. Every single staff member, from the concierge to the restaurant servers, was extremely friendly and helpful. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Rethymno in the future, we will definitely make this our home base!

This is a beautiful boutique hotel conveniently located close to everywhere you'd want to go in Rethymno. The rooms were lovely and my friends' room had an outside patio on the top floor where we could enjoy each other's company and some good Greek wine! The restaurants at this hotel were steps from our rooms and were absolutely amazing. We received a lovely welcome drink and hors d'oeuvres while our luggage was taken to the room. We were leaving one day prior to the scheduled breakfast hour and the staff went above and beyond and made us breakfast early so we could make our tour on time. We checked out early on our last day there and they were kind enough to bring trays the night before our check out for our breakfast in the morning. ALL of the staff are super friendly and accommodating!!! Thanks Avli!!

The location of this hotel is great. The staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms were clean, bed was comfortable, towels were luxurious, and the decor was beautiful. The only complaint was if you stay in the White Suite there is a bar next door that plays loud music until 3:00 am every night (I am a light sleeper). We were moved to the Champagne Suite and it was very quiet. There are no usb outlets in the room which is surprising in this day and age.

Avli Lounge is a charming, small, boutique hotel situated on a narrow pedestrian way in the heart of the old city. We enjoyed our stay, with a few quibbles. One highlight was the amazing breakfast in the beautiful, leafy Avli restaurant inside a courtyard. Our particular room - a junior suite -- was in a different building around the corner. The room was very nice, spacious and had a very comfy bed and huge and tastefully done bathroom. But the room felt a little dated, the sitting room furniture was uncomfortable and the room didn't have much natural light or fresh air. Also the a/c unit didn't work very well. On the plus side it was very quiet -- couldn't hear anything from the noisy, late-night Irish pub next door! I have read complaints from others about that issue. Staff was helpful and re-arranged our reservations at the Avli restaurant. Discount parking a few blocks away worked well. Might also look at nearby Rimondi Boutique Hotel which also looked nice from the outside.

Without a doubt, this was one of the best hotel accommodation experiences we have had. We knew that our booking included a free drink each, which usually means a beer or house wine. On arrival, we were shown into their beautiful fine-dining restaurant while our bags were carried up to our upgraded suite. Cold water arrived followed by any drink we chose. Along with the drinks, a platter of fresh local vegetables, meat and cheeses - just great hospitality. The room was beautiful with a private rooftop terrace. The breakfast was just so good - an array of local dishes, yoghurt and fruit, followed by eggs cooked in a range of serving options.

ideal location . excellent accomadation friendly and helpfull staff. breakfast was limited and boring. no variation. better if had a buffet.

The property is extremely beautiful, the staff will go out of their way to accommodate you, and it was very comfortable. The location is very convenient, but you will hear people late at night still out partying. That does not bother me at all. My only gripe was that the shower would run out of hot water before you were done, and we don’t take long showers. But, other than that, everything was perfect.

Small beautiful boutique hotel, well aquipe, very largeand clean room, located in the very middle of the old city, perfect outdoor breakfast in a blooming garden. High level of costumer service from the reception desk. Just a small issue of parking availablity..

Beautiful boutique rooms. We stayed 1 night but would have loved to stay longer. We were upgraded to a junior suite, which was beautiful! The staff were so helpful and couldn’t do enough to help you. The breakfast was delicious and used local ingredients and produce.
