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.

This hotel is housed in the shell of a former Venetian palace but inside, the rooms are bright and modern. Staff are very helpful and the atttraction for us was the private car park so no walking miles with bags as is the case in many hotels in the old town here. Price was reasonable for a large room with... More

I fell in love with the old town, it is so picturesque, the hotel fortezza is right in the heart of it all. The rooms are a little small and the beds a little hard for the price, but everything was very clean and newly updated, which I appreciated. There was a weird sewer smell coming from the drain in...
