The Old Distillery Premium Suites, Rethymno

The Old Distillery Premium Suites in Rethymno, Crete (Greece) is a small, suite-focused stay on Arkadiou Street that suits travelers who prefer independent space over a traditional hotel routine. With a guest rating of 6/10 from two reviews, expectations should be calibrated: some visitors value the self-contained feel, while the limited review history means you should read recent comments carefully before committing.

The location works well for city walkers. You can reach the Rethymno Old Town in about 1.2 km and Fortezza Castle in roughly 1.5 km, making it practical for mornings in the Venetian lanes and late-afternoon viewpoints. The terrace is a useful extra for quieter moments back at the property, especially after a day of exploring or snorkeling nearby.

Inside, the setup is designed for longer stays and flexible routines, with suites that include fully equipped kitchens and pillowtop bedding for a more comfortable night’s sleep. Free WiFi helps you plan routes and check schedules, while express check-in and express check-out keep arrival and departure from feeling drawn out. A concierge service is on hand for local guidance, which can be particularly helpful when you’re trying to fit beaches, museums, and dining into a short itinerary.

Best for couples and solo explorers who want a self-catered base close to Rethymno’s historic core, this property is a good match if you’ll spend most of your time walking the city and using the suite as a calm home base between outings.
