The service at Fortezza Hotel was very good. The staff tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible at any time. They even transported our luggage from the main road to the hotel. The room was average. A bit dark, but clean and nice. Once we got the aircondition on it became the perfect hideaway from the warm weather... more

My friend and I stayed here for a week in July 2007 during a heat wave. The reason the heat wave became a problem was the 20 minute walk to the beach. I do not reccomend this hotel in the middle of summer if you like a short walk to the beach. The hotel itself was ok. The people at... more

Travelling around Crete by car gives you the freedom to see what you want when you want, except when you're in one of the main cities searching for parking! For this the Fortezza Hotel gives you a break by offering free parking across the street. Strangely enough, you need to inform the front desk to open the gate before you... more

Just returned from 5 nights at The Fortezza. Beautiful court yard setting with clean pool and overflowing with bouganvillea and geraniums. Room simpl e but quiet. We felt the hotel was much better than it looked on the web.Quite a pleasant surprise. Good location, easy walk to the harbour, fort , atmospheric streets and many restaurants (tapas bar next door... more

Fortezza Hotel was perfect! The location was in the middle of the market and restaurant area in the shadow of the Fort. This redone hotel is perfect. Hotel was clean, comfortable and convenient - just difficult to find the first time in the maze of narrow streets. Staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The bartender was quite entertaining. Rethymon is... more

We had a large, corner room at the Fortezza. It has a great location in the old town. It was clean, and the price was very reasonable. I think we paid 75 Euros for a triple room, including breakfast. Very friendly people work at the front desk. Good value for your money. more

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Fortezza for 2 nights and we were very pleased with this hotel. The location is great and there is a parking! The staff was very helpful, we had a medical emergency and they helped us getting the care we needed. I would try get a room on the garden side, the street side... more

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Fortezza after doing throrough research on the internet through other traveller's reviews. It was not the cheapest hotel in Rethymnon, but it is very well kept and hotel staff is very nice and helpful. We ourselves always say hello (calimera) and expect to be greeted as well and this was always the case,... more

The hotel is located at the base of the fortress in the old town. The hotel has a large, free parking lot for guests which is a godsend since parking in this part of town is impossible. (Make sure you get directions from the hotel because it very hard to find on your own with all the one-way and pedestrian... more
