We had a very nice decadent stay there! The room was amazing and the proximity to the beach was unmatched. The location is about a 10min walk from the Rethymno old town, which was great for us. The private beach was very nice! The balcony with a view of the beach was incredible.

Amazing place, few meters from beach. Excelent food in restaurant. People who work there treat my wife and 11 month old daughter like family. 10 stars experience!

Super friendly staff, felt so welcome, great location, beautiful view from balcony room. Breakfast was fantastic

The staff were amazing Very accommodating and friendly. I was unfortunately struck down with a Cardiac arrest on the first night there and taken into hospital. All of the staff looked after Mary, my wife and supported her whilst I was away from her. The property is wonderfully situated. It is across a road from one of best beaches in Crete and within a 20 min walk to the old town.

The hotel is a small family business that has been around for many years. The hotel has been partially renovated on the upper floors where we received an upgrade.
The hotel owner (and also the all the staff) are very friendly and helpful!
The beach in front offer sun bads with umbrellas at no extra cost if you have a drink!

The most important thing in the apartment is the staff and management.
Nice apartment in front of the beach, with a balcony to the sea.
The hotel staff made every effort to ensure that we enjoyed our vacation.
The hotel is run by a nice family. Big brother KOSTAS is the hotel manager.
His sister TULA is responsible for the restaurant and the staff and is mainly the reason for our pleasant stay there. She even took care of us for beach towels, which we didn't bring with us.
The younger brother PANDELIS is responsible for the maintenance at the hotel and helped us a lot.
The breakfast served from 8 - 10 is varied and delicious.
They cleaned and arranged our room every day and we felt part of the family.
Highly recommended.

It was my second stay during the last two years.
Everything was just perfect once again.

The employees were friendly and exceedingly accommodating, surpassing expectations in every way. The breathtaking vistas of The Old Town and the beach from the balcony were amazing. Location is perfect for strolling into The Old Town and the beach is across the road. The dwelling was essentially a residence that could effortlessly accommodate six individuals.Double glazed windows and doors with the addition of shutters provided excellent sound proofing. Air conditioners in every room and daily cleaning was a bonus. You will not be disappointed with your stay.

We spent 2 amazing weeks at Birais Beach Studios. The renovated rooms were comfortable with a breathtaking view of the sea and the sunset over the Fortezza.
The homemade Cretan breakfast was varied and delicious. The hotel's restaurant, Agrilia, offers many local dishes as well. The beach is in front of the hotel, with free sunbeds and umbrellas if you eat there.
What makes Birais Beach Studios so special are the people who work there : Alex, Kosta, Diamantoula, Lya, Katerina and all the others are always available, smiling, warm and caring for their guests.

Very Good buffet breakfast.. Also good food at the restaurant.. AC was included in the price. Free sunbeds & umbrellas on the beach if you order something from the food or drink menu on the beach..We had a Deluxe twin room with sea view..
The traffic was not disturbing at night

great location, diamond suite has a great layout and view, staff was phenomenal with daily service, and breakfast was excellent!

Brilliant location right on the seafront. Staff were lovely and friendly, very accommodating of our late check-in request too. Rooms are large and clean. Enjoyed the breakfast - good selection of hot food (eggs, sausages, bacon), breads, pastries, cereal, yoghurt and fruits etc. Incredible value for money overall!

Pleasent and kind stuff. Very clean. Amazing food. Across the beach.

We like very much the view, spacious and comfortable rooms, very clean, near the beach.

Everything was just outstanding: super clean room, amazing view through the balcony, good location, kind staff. I recommend!

The place is neat with friendly staff and delicious food. The location is within the reach of all facilities from both sides. I really have a good time at Birais.

Very friendly staff. Very welcoming. The location is perfect at the beach. Room with balcony, very big. Loved it. The room was including breakfast. Good deal.

Perfect location about 1km walk along the seafront from the Old Town, Venetian Harbour and Fortezza Fortress. Rethymnon’s top-rated restaurant Nostos Is about 3mins walk in the other direction, and was excellent and incredibly good value. The hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms with small balcony overlooking the beach. Lift to upper floors. Free sun bed and umbrellas on the beach for guests buying drinks from the hotel’s restaurant. Helpful, friendly staff. Excellent and plentiful breakfast included. Free parking relatively easy to find (in May) a short distance along the promenade. Wi-fi pretty good throughout the hotel
