10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

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.
Jenn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fijn hotel met zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Nette kamers en badkamer. Kamers aan de straatzijde hebben wel wat overlast van het verkeer en luidruchtige personen maar door onze vermoeidheid niet echt een probleem geweest bij het slapen.

Agréable séjour

Hotel très agréable par sa localisation et ses magnifiques éléments architectureaux, chambre spacieuse avec joli blacon sur rue, mais tout à fait tranquille.

nice hotel, perfect location, friendly staff

hotel located near the fortezza sight, friendly staff and quick checkin. possibility to park the car 5 min away at a free parking at the and of the street. Room in the first floor was not that big and without balcony but clean and enough for us. Clientele consists mostly of elder people.
Laura, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bien placé

Pratique et bien situé, par contre l'hôtel ne dispose d'aucune place de parking, il faut se garer dans la rue au risque de se faire abîmer la voiture, où se garer sur un parking payant en face de l'hôtel pour 10 € par jour, pour le petit-déj' rien d'extraordinaire mais suffisant.
