Top Hotels Near Fortezza Castle in Rethymno from AU$98

"Beautiful property right on the harbor. Staff very helpful, good breakfast, close to everything in the old town. Only annoyances were no hair dryer in the small bathroom & the bed was rather hard."

"Lovely second stay at the Nautilux. We stayed in a patio hot tub room again, with half board, which suited us perfectly. The staff are all great, exceptionally friendly and professional. The hotel is one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in. There wasn’t much in the way of evening entertainment, but that suited us. The food was always freshly prepared, and delicious. The indoor spa is excellent and we enjoyed the steam room and sauna and a treatment. We also did palates and boot camp which was great too. One of the very best hotels we have stayed in!"

"The breakfast was really fresh and delicious! Wonderful and authentic Creta breakfast."

"I booked based off the good reviews but unfortunately I didn’t have this experience. They put me in a room on the ground floor which had big windows that opened up wide enough for someone to easily climb through. The side gate was open so anyone could walk in off the street (they said it was closed but it was open the whole time I was there). Without opening this window, there was no natural light in the room. Being a solo female traveller, I didn’t feel safe being in this room so I asked to move. so they charged me an extortionate amount to upgrade rooms. They blamed me for not looking on their website, but I booked through Hotel.com and didn’t say anywhere that the room was on the ground floor. I’d already paid for the first room so I didn’t feel like I had any choice but to pay extra which felt sore because the hotel itself is very basic. The shower was so small I couldn’t even reach down and I also left my phone charger in one of the rooms when I checked out and they refused to give it back to me. Staff were rude and unfriendly. I could hear the hum of the fridge all night even with earplugs in. I also didn’t think the sheets or floors were very clean. I would advise avoiding this hotel if you want a stress free holiday. "

"We had an amazing stay at this beautiful, stylish hotel. Our room was incredibly spacious, and the private deck offered a stunning view of the Mediterranean Sea. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety to choose from. The location is perfect, close to town but still peaceful, and the staff was exceptionally helpful with local restaurant recommendations and activity suggestions"

"Beautiful place, friendly staff, will definitely come back"

"Building, courtyard with pool, and rooms were very nice. Bathrooms however were not well maintained and showers had issues such as not having a mount on the wall to hold the shower head and not having shower curtain and plugged drains. The bathrooms desperately need to be updated. The breakfast was ok but other hotels we stayed at in Crete had much nicer breakfast selections. "

"Even though i had booked a ground floor studio we were placed upstairs because the manager thought it would be better for a family! I had booked the ground floor as I have mobility issues! The stairs were made of stone & had worn to different shapes which I found very difficult. We complained & had some money returned but this did not help with problems with the stairs! So my husband had to supervise me on the stairs. The room was nice but smaller than booked - nowhere to put clothes. The bed was very comfortable. However on the day of leaving there was no hot water!"

"The room was stunning and spacious. The manager, Iro, was lovely and extremely helpful. I loved that she put together a booklet filled with suggestions for what to see and do in town and some of her favourite places to eat. "
