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.

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

Centrally located
Centrally located and walking distance to everything. Super markets across the street. Long walk to unpaid parking. Breakfast average.

Location is amazing! Our room was clean and spacious. The pool and breakfast were also great. Wifi in our room was slow, but it seemed better in others parts of the hotel.
