3 Night Stat in Rohdes
Check-in & out effortless. Friendly staff from receptionist, cleaners & breakfast staff. All working tirelessly to give naximum enjoyment. Hotel perfectly located for Beach, New Town (Shops) & Old Town. Very clean. Facility of Bar on ground floor common area (Drinks competitively priced against local Bars). Breakfast very good and offered most of everything. (Including Toaste machine) as well as Toast machine. Coffee was good quality from machine & was avaliable whenever even after breakfast (no coffee or tea making facilities in Room). Toilets (WC) conveniently located downstairs (-1F) for Bar, Pool & common Area. Road Parking at a premium (No off road Parking). Hotel well set out offering option for balconies to road (City View) or Overlooking Pool. (Hotel 3 floors). Room offered a good size shower cubicle, air dryer and dispensers offering hand, shower & body lotion. (Better than the small bottles). Allowed to use facilities after checkout prior to our departure. Improvements could be made: TV Size was very small with limited channels.(no english or news channels) No stool or chair in room. No full size mirror. Side mirror too high so when sat on bed could no see in mirror. This did not however distract from our enjoyment. Will stop again on pur next visit.

Enjoyable Stay
I stayed at this hotel twice during my stay in Rhodes and it has its good and bad points. The location is excellent as your not more than a 10 min walk from the beach and the old town the area also feels safe to walk around at night. The breakfast was really good and even with all the covid restrictions the staff did an excellent job. The rooms are a bit tired but are clean and comfortable. I think maybe if I had paid high season prices I probably would be a bit more negative but I have enjoyed my stay here.

Nice Hotel & great location
Great location - only 6 minutes walk to the beach and a few minutes walk to lively bar areas. The superior room with a pool view was not big but was OK, clean, nice shower, the bed was very comfortable, good A/C. The staff is very helpful, friendly and pleasant. Breakfast was fine. I would recommend this hotel and will stay there again.

Nice and clean hotel. Very convenient with a good breakfast. Only thing w head troubles with is on the first day we got a room that wasn’t a pool view even though we paid for one. However, the next day they provided us with a pool view on the third floor. We didn’t end up getting WiFi signal on the third floor which meant that we had to use our mobile data. Overall, it was a good stay. I would recommend

Location was excellent but the hotel rooms were tired. Booked into Superior room with balcony overlooking pool and next doors shabby apartments. Air con not working, bathroom showing signs of ware, towels frayed (old), wall socket not working, very small sinks ours had a crack. we were moved to another room again superior with balcony over looking the street, this was much better with working air con but the lighting was only partially working and the wardrobe door came off the runners and had to be fixed. The communal seats at the front were shabby and the pool was too shallow to swim in at the shallow end. The breakfasts were only passable

Only for heavy sleepers
Hotel looked great. However, the room over looked the pool which appeared to be lit all night and the curtains did not keep the light out. Woken a number of times by noisey guesses coming back to their room late at night. I would only recommend this hotel for heavy sleepers!

Accident waiting to happen
Although the hotel looks nice, there's some serious structural problems with the bath rooms. The rain showers leek - water keeps dripping from several places in the ceiling. If you only hold the handheld shower instead this issue does not present itself, but another one is that the drain doesn't have the capacity to get rid of the water quick enough. It means that a wave of water pushes itself out of the bathroom area... we also found ants... Even though the hotel looks good and personell are friendly, I wouldn't book here again.

Great Hotel, Great Location.
This is a really good value little hotel, the earlier you book the cheaper it is. We had room 306 which overlooked the pool, possibly quieter than ones at the front of the hotel. It was nice to relax around the pool late afternoon after walking around the old town for several hours. It is centrally located near the beach, main town and old town. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good with a varied selection of cold and hot food, fresh fruit and yummy Greek yogurt. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel for an overnight stay.very nice hotel.
We stayed here for a one night stop over prior to moving on to another small Greek island. Good location for ferry ports, 10 minutes taxi ride approx. Hotel very clean, staff very friendly. Only downside no freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast, my husband could not drink their cheap orange squash due to being a diabetic. Please get freshly squeezed orange juice. Will definitely stay there again.

Great hotel in the centre of Rhodes, modern rooms and building, nice pool, staff seem nice Pros - Great location just far enough away from the centre to be quiet at night but close enough to walk - Great pool with shade or sun all day - Comfortable clean rooms - In room A/C - Comfortable Sun loungers - Modern building and rooms - Only a few rooms face the road and noise wasn't bad at all Cons - WiFi only in reception with a weak signal and slow speeds - Staff not always at reception desk sometimes you have to wait to drop off or pick up a key - TV in our room basically had 3 Greek channels as the rest had little or no signal

Smart and friendly hotel near both beach and town
The hotel is really smartly furnished in a fairly modern style. We had a view over the pool meaning we didn't have any noise from the road, which I recommend. Not that it's noisy, it's just better without. The staff were very friendly and eager to help make our stay pleasant. The location is just a few minutes walk from the sea, while also being immediately surrounded by a vast selection of tavernas and restaurants. My only criticism is that the wifi is pretty poor, particularly upstairs in the rooms.
