La Stella Suites

Gem of a hotel in a fantastic location! Lovely rooms, spotlessly clean and amazing staff. The manager Mary is the most friendly and helpful person you will meet. Surprised me with a cake and Prosecco for my 50th and helped my wife with some urgent dental treatment. Always smiling and making sure guests have everything they need to have a fab holiday. Special mention to young Savaas behind the bar who is a terrific fella and makes the most amazing cocktails you will find anywhere. Really enjoyed all our chats and taking everything Scottish and Greek! Amazing young man and a credit to the hotel. Will defo come back next year and would recommend for a terrific family holiday.

Me and my daughter were the first guests of the season at this beautiful boutique hotel. Friendly, helpful and welcoming staff (especially Mary) and clean, fresh environment. Pool area is beautiful with luxury sunbeds and the bar (with fabulous barstaff) is a friendly hub for all the guests. Room comfortable and spacious with basic kitchen area; great for sorting out lunch. Hot and cold breakfast available where they happily accommodated our vegan milk requests. Hotel is 5 minutes from good restaurants, bars and beautiful beach area with sunbeds and beach bar. Short cheap taxi or bus ride into the Old Town which is a must do. We had a great few days here and will definitely return.

Mary and her team at this hotel go above and beyond. Always there to help and all very attentive. The hotel is spotless and the room have everything that is required. Will definitely return again in the future. Thank you Mary and team ❤️

We stayed in La Stella for a full week and it was spectacular for what we wanted. Mainly, this is due to the staff who are friendly, helpful and honest. They make you feel welcome and are more than happy to converse/provide advice. Mary offered multiple times to order taxis, sort out hire cars etc. Professional and courteous with extensive knowledge of the island. Booking through La Stella also gives you access to the Atermeno Hotel (5 star) upstairs infinity pool amongst other facilities. The gym, spa, steam room and sauna do have additional costs if you want to use them. Breakfast was grand although don't expect a huge selection as it is a smaller, more personable hotel. The quality was great and still offered new breakfast options every day varying from more traditional plain options to many great local options. I would say this hotel is perfect for those who want to explore the island as it is more central between Chania and Heraklion. It is also around a 10-15 minute bus from Rethymno so it is not an overly touristy area (at least in my experience.) Overall, very positive experience and great way to enjoy our Cretan experience. Big ups fae Scotland.

Hotel Name: _LaStella Suites Hotel_ Stay: _July 2025_ Destination: _Nikomidias 7, Rethymno 74133, Crete_ Our stay at the _LaStella Suites_ Hotel was fantastic! We felt welcome from the very first minute. The staff was exceptionally friendly, professional, and always helpful. You immediately notice that service is a top priority here. Big thanks to Mary Sinolaki, who was always helping with Special Requests and questions, she made the stay even better! The room was modern, clean, and had a great balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside. The beds were very comfortable, and the air conditioning ran quietly and efficiently, perfect for warm summer nights. The cleaning ladies swept through every day, made the beds and gave fresh towels, for every person, every day. Shower gel, the hand cream and hand soap were included, little tip if these go empty, ask the cleaning ladies, they will fill everything directly. Breakfast was delicious every day: a selection of local products, including Greek yogurt, honey, fresh fruit, pastries, and savory dishes. It was a good amount, for a balanced breakfast. The pool area was well-maintained, with enough loungers and umbrellas, if the hotel wasn’t too full of people. If it was ever full, you have the opportunity to use the partner Hotel _Atermono Boutiqe Resort_, which is only 800 metres away. If you wanted to get to the ocean, it was a short 10 -minute walk through the beautiful town from the suburb of Rethymno. Once you got to the beach, there were enough loungers for everyone. Small tip, if your of to the beach, there are exclusive loungers from the partner hotel, which you can use for free, if you are staying at _LaStella Suites_. You just have to tell the cashier guy, that you are from _LaStella Suites_ and you can use them. What we particularly liked: The peace, the relaxed atmosphere and the hotel Cat, named lily. We would come back and highly recommend this hotel. A real recommendation for your stay in Crete!
