Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to LUCKY SUITES, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 4th floor) for a quieter stay. These rooms are less likely to be disturbed by street noise from the Machis Potamon street, which can get lively in the evenings.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd floor) near the lift, as these may be more prone to noise from the lift and other guests. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or bar may experience noise from staff and late-night activities.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Machis Potamon does not offer stunning views of the surrounding area. However, rooms on higher floors may have a glimpse of the nearby buildings and streets.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 and above should be relatively quiet, but keep in mind that street noise may still seep in, especially on windy nights.
🔊 Noise notes
Noise from the street, particularly from pedestrians and scooters, may be a concern for rooms facing Machis Potamon. Additionally, the hotel's location in a built-up area means that some background noise from surrounding buildings and traffic is inevitable.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony to get some fresh air and a glimpse of the surrounding area. Be sure to check-in early to secure a room with a better view, as higher floors may have fewer rooms available, especially during peak season.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in town for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and high-traffic tourist spots, which often charge poor rates and fees.
Cards (Visa/Mastercard) are widely accepted in restaurants, shops and hotels; contactless is common; small tavernas and markets may prefer cash.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% for good service in restaurants is appreciated but not mandatory; taxis: round up to the nearest euro; hotel staff: €1-2 per bag for porters, leave a small amount for housekeeping.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek frappé or freddo espresso at a local kafeneio costs around €3-4.
A gyros pita or souvlaki wrap from a street-side grill is €3-5.
A main course at a modest taverna (e.g., moussaka or grilled fish) runs €8-12.
The old town's side streets and the area near the Venetian harbour have numerous souvlaki and crepe stands; look for places busy with locals.
Supermarkets like Sklavenitis, AB Vasilopoulos and Lidl are common for budget groceries.
The main shopping streets (e.g., Arkadiou, Kountouriotou) have high-street chains (Zara, H&M) and local boutiques; a Saturday morning market (laiki) on Kountouriotou street offers affordable clothes and household goods.
Walking is best for the small town; local buses cost €1.20 per ride (no day pass); from Chania airport, take the KTEL intercity bus to Rethymno (around €10-12).
Eat where locals queue for lunch (away from the harbour front). Buy water and basics at a supermarket rather than tourist kiosks. Visit the Archaeological Museum on the first Sunday of the month (free entry November–March).

Top Attractions in Rethymno
💡 Walk to the lighthouse at the end of the pier for a quieter view — most tourists stop halfway. The water is clean for a dip if you don’t mind concrete edges.
💡 Bring nuts or bread for the peacocks that roam freely — they’re friendly but watch your bag. Best in spring when the flowers are out.
💡 Go early morning (before 9am) to see it without crowds or shopkeepers setting up — the light is golden and quiet.
💡 It’s quiet on weekday mornings — you’ll often have the rooms to yourself. The audio guide is worth the €2 extra.
💡 Buy your ticket at the small booth by the main gate, not online. Visit late afternoon when the heat drops and the sunset lights up the harbour.
