The Vilelmine Hotel is located in the heart of the old town in just a 2-minute distance from the harbor. The narrow cobbled street (Betolo Street) in front of the hotel hosts dozens of tourist shops and has a vivid Cretan –tourist- atmosphere, while the view of the narrow alleys and Mitropoleos Square will quickly get you in the city’s attitude. It is understandable that if you have a car, you should park it outside of the old town and get to the hotel on foot (8-10 minutes).
The hotel is housed in a restored villa of the 19th century, with its interior space being clean, and pleasant smells welling up from every corner. The listed building is well-maintained, dressed with colorful touches and a strong Venetian feel. And as for the owners, they always wear a smile on their faces, ready to help you in anything you need.

The rooms are high-ceilinged, spacious and bright, while they have a small balcony with a view of the narrow streets and the Mitropoleos Square. The things that make it special are the vintage wooden furniture and the overall decoration of the place that give off a Venetia scent, taken out of an aristocratic era. Cleanliness in the rooms could be better, while the amenities that you will find are a fridge (with free bottles of water), a kettle, a coffee maker, air conditioning, blow-dryer (upon demand), TV and wifi. The disadvantages include the noise that comes from the street and the impractical bathroom with the very limited shower space.

ts greatest advantages are the very good quality-price ratio and its location, and in the disadvantages, apart from the noise, are added the lack of an elevator and parking lot and the irregular change of sheets (only on demand).
For three nights we paid the amount of 228€, in super high season. Breakfast is NOT included in the price. It is a very affordable and good, in terms of quality, solution, and it is probably the best choice for accommodation in the old town. Good Choice (G)
