Everything about this hotel was good. The accommodation felt new, clean, and very well maintained. The location was excellent — within walking distance of the bus station and very close to the waterfront and many dining options. Breakfast was great and the staff helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

FIRST day in Rethymno

We rented a car to travel in Rethymno and we were looking for something in the centre of the town, with car parking area and breakfast. We arrived very late at night and we were very welcomed at the reception of Fortezza Hotel and our room with the view of the hotel swimming pool and the garden was wonderful. Breakfast was great and all the staff so helpful and very nice. Next time we will definitely stay longer there.

This hotel is "old school" in the nicest possible way. Phones in the room, real keys, 24/7 desk staff, beautiful breakfast room with linen tablecloths. Great location. I highly recommend it.

Struttura nella media del posto. Un 3 stelle di un edificio non nuovo ma ristrutturato. Personale gentile e disponibile, camera spaziosa con buoni letti e molto pulita. L'hoel Fortezza si trova molto centrale con un di pù nella sua area: la psicina, che nelle giornate calde è una salvata

Tres bel hotel. Personnel agreable. Bon petit déjeuner. En plein centre, près du vieux port et des rues touristiques. Un parking en face pour 10euro la journée. Idéal pour un court sejour.

Heel leuk hotel met heel vriendelijk en attent personeel. Kamers mogen misschien wel eens opgefrist worden. Centraal gelegen met parkingmogelijkheid aan de overzijde van de straat voor 10€ per dag. Echt een pluspunt. Een achte aanrader.

Basic hotel. Great location

Room old fashioned. No safety in the room. Not enough deck chairs around pool. Pool is too crowded.
