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.

Mostly good.
The room was ok, but rather expensive. Our balcony was so tiny we had to take turns! This was a real disappointment. The breakfast was good but the coffee (from a machine) was awful. Why don't Greek hotels offer Greek coffee? I appreciated the provision of a small fridge but it was fairly useless as the electricity was off while we were out of the room so nothing got cold.

Good hotel
Nice hotel and staff. Everything in the room is more than adequate but not outstanding. A kettle would be nice. Breakfast good and plenty. Communal areas including pool are lovely. Position of hotel on edge of old town so very convenient.

Lovely hotel, comfortable, clean and recently updated bathroom, efficient air conditioning, good wireless connection, friendly staff, good breakfast buffet, lovely looking pool area (we didn't get a chance to use it but it looked like it would have been great, if we had had time), close to the main tourist attractions (the old town, the fortress, etc). Parking available for 9€ at the time of this review.

Visually pleasing but not great
Front desk moved us to a small room after having the large room I paid for on Expedia. The large room had no air conditioning and the staff kept saying it did. Third staff person agreed it had not worked in this room in weeks and moved us to a smaller room with a working air conditioner. Unusual to be downgraded after two days being inconvenienced. Honestly is important.
