Urban Beach Studio, Rethymno Town Overview
Urban Beach Studio is located in Rethymno Town, Greece. Rated 7.6 out of 10 based on 17 guest reviews.
Urban Beach Studio is a small, adult-only stay in Rethymno Town, Greece, set at 5 Kolokotroni, a practical base for exploring both the harbour and the beach area. The studio’s air conditioning helps you manage warm Cretan days, while soundproof rooms are designed for quieter nights when the streets are busy. A lift makes it easier to move in and out comfortably, and the kitchen setup suits guests who prefer simple breakfasts or light meals in. Reviews for Urban Beach Studio average 7.6/10 from 17 guests, with many visitors highlighting the calm feel inside despite being close to central Rethymno. Others mention the value of having on-site comfort paired with helpful services for getting around, including car hire and a shuttle service available for an additional charge. If you’re driving, parking is free, and discounted rates for offsite parking can help when you’re planning day trips. For sightseeing, you can reach the Rethymno Venetian Harbour in about 1 km and Rethymno Beach in roughly 1.2 km, making it straightforward to alternate between sea views and old-town streets. The Archaeological Museum of Rethymno is around 1.2 km away, while Fortezza Castle sits about 2 km from the property for an elevated walk and panoramic views. This is best for couples or solo travelers who want an efficient, quieter base in town, and for road-trip guests who value free parking and easy access to local sights.
