I have nothing but praise for Fortezza Hotel. The staff was more than welcoming, the rooms were clean and inviting, the breakfast buffet was plenty and delicious and the location was nothing short of perfect.

This is a lovely hotel, quiet, friendly service, good modern rooms that have been recently refurbished, the bathrooms are excellent with plenty of hot water. The air con works well and the shutters, double glazing and curtains provide a very dark, noise free room at night allowing a great sleep. The breakfast is an excellent continental style selection (do not... More

This is a 3-Star hotel that we would rate as 4-Star! Location is excellent being in Rethymno Old Town, and adjacent to all essential (and other) services. All staff were courteous and efficient in their respective roles. The outdoor swimming pool and surrounds were maintained in ultra-clean condition. Free WiFi was fast and provided excellent connections throughout the property. A... More

The staff were very helpful and polite and the hotel is located in a perfect position. I highly recommend this hotel. It was reasonably priced as... More

Cozy, very clean hotel with great, very helpful service. Very nice - but small - rooms (rooms facing the street are a bit noisy). Good breakfast - a buffet-style table. Nice swimming pool with towels. Hotel is situated in the best part of the town - in the heart of Old Town, close to restaurants, bars, harbor & bay.

The Fortezza hotel Rethymno is a really nice hotel in the old town of Rethymno. The upside is that there are a lot of nice restaurants close by. Also you can take some nice walks in the old town. As a small downside the beach is 10-15 minutes walk. The hotel has been recently renovated. It offers a pool, free... More

Hotel Fortezza is located in the old part of Rethymnon in a quiet road. It is ideally placed for exploring the old town, fort etc. The old town is a labyrinth of small and even smaller streets, many lined with shops and restaurants and other residential with quaint architecture, doorways, plants etc. Do not confuse with the extended and commercialized...

Great hotel in a wonderful location. It was clean, comfortable and a lot of seating areas to rest. Very spacious, the pool was great and the location was an easy walk away from town and they helped with whatever things you needed.
