Rated 8.6 from 497 reviews, Fortezza Hotel is a three-star in Rethymno's Old Town with air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant, two bars, a 24-hour reception, free Wi-Fi and private parking, close to the beach and port. I would choose it for a practical Old Town base, especially when arriving by car, rather than for resort-style facilities.
