Axos Hotel, Rethymno Overview
Axos Hotel is a 2-star hotel in Rethymno, Greece. Rated 8.4 out of 10 based on 77 guest reviews.
Axos Hotel is a straightforward 2-star base in Rethymno, Crete, set on Mahis Kritis, 167 in the Platanias area. It suits travelers who want simple comforts, a friendly atmosphere, and a budget-minded stay without needing a long list of on-site extras. Guests consistently rate the hotel at 8.4/10 based on 77 reviews, and many mention the ease of getting help from the 24-hour front desk and the practical flow of express check-in and express check-out. Families are welcome, and the outdoor pool (seasonal) is a useful option when you want downtime between beach trips and sightseeing.
The location works well for exploring both coast and town. Platanes Beach is about 2 km away, making it easy to plan a morning swim and a relaxed afternoon back at the hotel. Rethymno Venetian Port and the Old Town are roughly 7 km from Axos Hotel, where you can wander historic lanes and stop for local food. Fortezza Castle sits at about 8 km, offering a different perspective over the harbor and coastline.
On quieter days, the garden gives guests a place to slow down, and free WiFi helps you stay connected for maps and ride planning. If you’re traveling with luggage, luggage storage makes it easier to enjoy your day even around check-in and check-out times. For couples, families, and solo explorers looking for a functional base in Rethymno rather than a resort-style property, Axos Hotel is a sensible choice.
