Pros:

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
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.
