Pantheon Hotel - Adults Only

The swimming pool was fantastic, a lovely place to relax and sunbathe. Staff were nice and helpful. Location was good if you have a car as it is close to Rethymno (a fantastic town!). I think the hotel offer a shuttle service into Rethymno but we didn’t use it as we had a car. Hotel itself was lovely and quiet.

We stayed on the first floor and the hallway absolutely stunk!! Hard to describe but perhaps it was a damp, rotten wood smell.....couldn’t smell it as much once we were in our room though (as we were at the end of the hallway, the opposite end to the smell). The bedrooms don’t have insect/mosquito nets over the balcony doors which means you can’t leave them open to cool the room at night time (well you can but hornets and the like will easily get in, as we discovered one night...). The room did have good, working air con but it’s a bit nosy and annoying to have on all night (but it was either that or roast). Bed wasn’t the comfiest, very hard. They also charge you an ‘accommodation tax’ which isn’t mentioned when booking through booking.com (which states all taxes are included in the price). It was only €6 for four nights but obviously can come as a surprise when it is not mentioned upon booking.
