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.

Myself and my wife found the hotel Fortezza, along with the staff and amenities first class, we have stayed in many hotels all around the world and can honestly say that even though it may not be a 5star rated accommodation, it met all of the most important requirements Ie., cleanliness, excellent helpful staff, good amenities, great location.

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.

8/10 Very good

L’hôtel est très bien situé. Le personnel est très à l’écoute et disponible si besoin. Les chambres sont propres ainsi que l’hôtel en général. La chambre pourrait être allégé pour être plus aéré visuellement, un peu vieillotte et le frigo fait un bruit monstrueux. Le petit déjeuner n’a rien d’incroyable et pourrait être amélioré car il y a la même chose tous les jours et il n’est pas dingue.

Et fint hotell i den sjarmerende gamlebyen med gang avstand til stranden og mange restauranter rett ved hotellet Jeg vil absolutt anbefale det og personellet var hyggelige og hjelpsomme. Et fint hotell å bo på.

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

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.
