Prinos Resort, Rethymno Overview
Prinos Resort is a 2-star hotel in Rethymno, Greece.
Prinos Resort is a simple, budget-friendly base in Rethymno, Greece, suited to travellers who want to spend their time outside the hotel and keep costs under control. Guests commonly mention the practical, no-fuss atmosphere and the helpful staff, with many reviewers describing an easy check-in experience and straightforward support during their stay. The resort’s location works well for beach days and city wandering, with Rethymno Beach about 0.5 km away and the Venetian Harbour roughly 0.9 km from the property. If you like history-on-foot, Fortezza Castle is around 1.5 km away, offering a clear target for an afternoon climb and views over the town.
In terms of day-to-day comfort, reviews tend to focus on the essentials being in place rather than expecting anything overly elaborate. The property suits solo explorers and couples who plan to be out most of the time, using the resort mainly for sleep, showers, and a quiet reset between excursions. While the hotel is positioned for walking access to Rethymno’s main sights, the surrounding area is still lively, so light sleepers may prefer to plan around evening activity.
You’ll find Prinos Resort in the Rethymno area near the Old Town and seafront, making it a workable choice for short breaks where location matters more than on-site facilities. Overall, it’s a sensible pick for travellers prioritising walkability to landmarks like the Old Town and harbour, with the beach close enough to fit into a relaxed itinerary.
Should You Book Prinos Resort?
Not worth booking unless you're on an extremely tight budget; the 2-star rating suggests limited amenities and comfort.
Best For

- Solo travelers who prioritize cost over luxury
- Groups of friends seeking a no-frills place to crash after exploring
Not Ideal For
- Families wanting spacious rooms and amenities
- Couples seeking a romantic getaway
- Travelers who value high standards of cleanliness and service
What to Expect
Upon arrival, you might notice the basic exterior of the Prinos Resort, which reflects its budget status. The surrounding area feels a bit worn but has a local charm, with small shops and cafes nearby. Mornings can be spent wandering to a local bakery, where the smell of fresh bread fills the air, and you can grab a quick coffee before heading out to explore the historic sites of Rethymno. The sound of the sea is a constant reminder that the beach is just a short walk away, though the resort itself offers little in terms of comfort.
Location Intelligence
The Prinos Resort is conveniently located within walking distance to Rethymno's old town, where you can explore narrow streets filled with shops and tavernas. Public transport options are available nearby, making it easy to reach other parts of Crete. However, be prepared for a bit of a trek to the beach, especially in the heat.
