Basic hotel in good location - noise problems
This family-run B&B is located close to various super markets, restaurant and the beach. We felt it was a bit overrated. If you are unlucky and get a room near the reception/breakfast or bar areas the noise levels in the late evening and early morning are unbearable (even with earplugs). Apart from that we we were a bit disappointed that the usual complementary toiletries (e.g. shampoo and shower gel) were no provided. In addition, it would have been nice for the hotel to provide dishwashing equipment for the otherwise fully equipped kitchen. On the positive side the staff was always very friendly and helpful.

Arrivés les premiers dans l'hôtel, en cours de finition (peinture, ménage). Excellent accueil, tout le personnel au petits soins pour nous. Bar de l'hôtel excellent (cocktails) et moins cher qu'à l'extérieur. Buffet du petit déjeuner mieux de jour en jour, complet et bon. Mention spéciale pour la gentillesse de tout le personnel. A refaire.
Bra läge, nära strand, restauranger och affärer. Mycket vänlig och hjälpsam personal, framför allt den fantastiska kvinnan i receptionen!
Rummet var lagom stort, välstädat och hade en väldigt skön säng. Ljudisolerat ut mot poolen, men tyvärr alldeles för mycket ljud ifrån korridoren.
Först fick jag ett rum med absolut ingen utsikt alls, det var en husvägg bara någon meter ifrån balkongen. Inte ok! Som tur är fick jag byta rum efter att ha påpekat detta.
Frukosten helt ok och jag uppskattade att det fanns flera olika sorters färsk frukt att välja mellan.
The pictures make this place look perfect but far from the truth!
But it is what it is 3 star? maybe only 2 star needs a really good update
sheets and pillows where stained. Breakfast couldn't touch!
but if your on a budget and just passing in through then give it a go, most of the staff pleasant.
One really good thing about it is the Bar, good staff and good music.
Petit hôtel parfait avec un accueil très chaleureux, un petit déjeuner varié et délicieux, une grande chambre avec cuisine. Bien situé avec un rapport qualité prix défiant toute concurrence
The Axos hotel is a family run small hotel located yards from the beach and surrounded by Tavernas, and shops. The nearest supermarket is yards away and Lidl is a two minute walk. The beach is across the road. The Axos has a nice bar and pool and is spotlessly clean. The owners and staff cannot do enough for you.
The Axos is a great hotel and I look forward to returning next year.
Hotel très bien placé à quelques kilomètres de rethymnon. Les chambres sont propres et fidèles au photos. Le personnel est très gentil et s adapte à vos demandes. La piscine est top. Plage sans obligation de transat à côté de l hôtel.
Μειναμε για 5 βραδια.Η διαμονη μας ηταν εξαιρετικη.Με ενα παιδι 4.5 ετων και ενα μωρο 8 μηνων η εξυπηρετηση ηταν καταπληκτικη.Το προσωπικο ευγενεστατο κ με διαθεση να καλυψει καθε αναγκη μας.Η πισινα του ειναι το πιο δυνατο του σημειο.Καθαρη και ησυχη.Το πρωινο δε το δοκιμασαμε αλλα ο ζωρος του εστιατορειου ηταν αρκετα μεγαλος.Ετυχε και περασα μεσα απο την κουζινα τους και ηταν ολα πεντακαθαρα.Το συνιστουμε ανεπιφυλακτα για οικογενειες κ οχι μονο!
Bei der Ankunft haben wir einen sehr lieben und herzlichen Empfang genossen.
Wenn man mit dem Mietwagen kommt sind direkt vorm Hotel kostenfreie Parkplätze vorhanden.
Wir hatten ein Studio Zimmer gebucht. Dieses war sehr groß und geräumig, mit einer Küchenzeile, einem Tisch mit 3 Stühlen, einer Couch (dritte Schlafmöglichkeit), Fernseher, ein großes Bett, großer geräumiger Schrank und ein Bad mit Wanne. Der Balkon war mit einem Tisch, 2 Stühlen und einer Aufhängung für die nassen Badesachen ausgestattet! Der Pool war in einer angenehmen Größe, nicht zu klein und nicht zu groß. Der Strand ist nur 3 Gehminuten vom Hotel entfernt. Einfach klasse! Dort kann man entweder seinen eigenen Schirm mitbringen und es sich auf einem großen Stück bequem machen oder man nimmt sich 2 Liegen und einen Schirm vom Nachbarhotel für 5€ am Tag, mit Wifi und Poolbenutzung. Der Strand ist sandig nur beim reingehen ins Meer sind ein paar Steine aber danach ist es auch wieder sandig! Das einzige was im Hotel Axos nicht so ansprechend war, war das Frühstück, das ist ein wenig zu verbessern, wir haben uns einfach auf den griechischen Joghurt mit frischem Obst gestürzt und dazu Müsli, der war grandios! Es ist auch noch eine Bar im Hotel Axos, dort gibt es auch immer wieder mal Livemusik! Eine tolle Stimmung und die Barbelegschaft einfach nur toll! Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in Hotel Axos und werden definitiv wieder kommen! Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt!

Okkk buona posizione
Hotel in buona posizione praticamente attaccato da una strada alla piu costosa rethymno (4/5km),camere confortevoli dotate di piu o meno ogni cosa ci si aspetti.Per me hotel senza infamia e senza lode quindi va bene!Nota iper positiva (ma questo nn è un plus per l'hotel) è che di fronte si trova il miglior ristorante in termini di accoglienza ,qualità e prezzi per quello visto sull'isola davvero un ottimo ristorante che si chiama Marem!
Nota negativa : (premettendo che nei voti di giudizio mi sono mantenuto piu sulla sufficienza) qui lo dico del cambio asciugamano previsto ogni due giorni ma una volta si sono dimenticati per 5giorni e dopo mie proteste (vabbe' come giustamente mi è stato detto sbagliare è umano) si è tornati alla normalità, ma cmq vuoi per igiene vuoi perché vacanza vuol dire per me relax , sta cosa mi ha fatto "arrabbiare" e di brutto li, quindi certo nn do lodi ma essendo un buono neanche tolgo!
Buona vita !
We just came back from 9 nights in Axos Hotel and we are way more than satisfied; big and confortable room, Hotel staff friendly and helpful, Nice breakfeast with some specialities, free climatisation, nice pool , next to the beach, facilties to park around the Hotel... and much more little details than make us want to come back !
