    Our Favourite Greek Hotel !!

    rating27 Sept 2025

    This was our fourth visit to the Fortezza.We were given a friendly welcome and allocated our requested room. We were also able to borrow a kettle from the reception and get pool towels.The rooms are a little on the small size, but who goes on holiday to sit in the room. They have a handy fridge, good air conditioning and a decent sized wardrobe. The superior rooms also have a balcony, we like the ones overlooking the street as we get shade late in the afternoon to sit and have a drink. The beds are also very comfy and we slept really well causing us to miss breakfast on quite a few days.There is a handy supermarket over the road selling most things you would require including chilled beer, wine and soft drinks.The breakfasts are good, but do not change, and have sufficient to fill you up for the day. As mentioned, if you do miss breakfast, the pool snack bar opens at 12 to 4pm. Here you can get bacon and eggs which we did on several days. The other snacks we had here were also good.The pool area is a big bonus in the old town area. There are sufficient sun beds and we never had trouble getting a bed or somewhere to sit. The pool was not too cold and a decent depth to swim. While we were here the temp was about 30 degrees, the pool area was a sun trap and it did get very warm, so the pool was great to cool off.The hotel is situated right on the edge of the old town and just around the corner from endless restaurants, bars and shops. The nearest being literally across the road.Highly recommended, we will be back next September !

    Central for old town, shops, bars,restaurants and friendly people!

    rating08 Sept 2025

    What an absolute gem. There is nothing bad about this place. Centrally located in the old town, an abundance of restaurants and shops at your fingertips. Overlooking the fortress. Walking distance to harbour and beach.Hotel staff friendly and super helpful, spotlessly clean. Fabulous pool and plentiful breakfast. Would recommend to everyone!

    Fabulous Hotel in great location!

    rating05 Aug 2025

    We stayed for a week in this hotel. Everything was great from checking in until checking out. The staff were friendly, the hotel was lovely, rooms basic but spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Rooms were cleaned daily, towels changed every second day and beds changed midweek. We had a balcony overlooking the pool which was lovely. Plenty hot water and good air conditioning with no extra charges. Breakfast was lovely and even though we went 7 days in a row we weren’t bored with it at all. There was enough variety and we didn’t need to eat anything else until dinner. The location is super. It’s busy but with a lovely vibe. Harbour is beautiful, especially at night. Beach is lovely and within walking distance. We went to the part across from the Loco Bar which charged €10 for 2 sunbeds, parasol and 2 drinks. Staff were lovely and the Frappes were delicious. I’m not a coffee drinker and loved them. Rethymno is beautiful. It was our first visit but we have been to many other places in Greece and this was our favourite. We will definitely return and will stay in Hotel Fortezza when we do. Thank you to all the staff.

    Amazing place

    rating25 Jul 2025

    It is a very nice and stylish hotel, very comfortable and relaxing too. Our stay started as a disappointment with the room we have got and the reception clerk that didn’t show any care about the situation. Though, the problem was quickly solved the next day with a kind help of a wonderful lady - Chrisoula, who literally saved our stay and made it so much more satisfying. The hotel itself is a very cozy place. Breakfast was simple but tasty and filling. Lots of sitting areas around the pool and in the lobby makes the hotel feel welcoming and inviting. The location is very convenient too. It is located right in the old part of the city, not too far from the port and close to many points of interest. Huge amount of excellent restaurants are right around the place.Would definitely recommend staying there if you are visiting Crete.
