"Perfectly situated less than 100m from one of the busy squares in the Old Town, but completely unaffected by any noise from the numerous cafes and bars around. The Spot Hotel is basic, with nothing other than the small-ish rooms and courtyard area. Completely fine. I stayed for 7 days and there was housekeeping once. Again, perfectly acceptable. There was someone almost always on Reception if there was anything needed. The Hotel was exactly what I wanted for my first stay in Rhodes, in the Old Town.
BUT........
The mattress on the bed in Room 4 is dreadful, awful and terrible. Springs are protruding on almost the entire surface, making it a horrible surface to try to sleep on. I'm very surprised this hasn't been noticed by Management. It would be obvious to Housekeeping that there is something very wrong here, and you'd have thought they would have reported it as a maintenance issue.
It was only on Night 4 that I realised it was the mattress which was affecting my sleep so badly. By then I had decided I didn't want the disruption of a room move, had that been offered. So I decided to stay. I did manage to find a fairly narrow strip of unaffected mattress that I tried to stay on during the night, but that didn't always work.
In conclusion......
A really well-situated hotel, with a nice calmness to it. However, if you have booked to stay in Room 4, I would suggest you get a reassurance from Management that the issue of the deplorable mattress has been addressed."
"The hotel is in very convenient location, near the old town and harbour. There are plenty good restaurants nearby. It is really good value for money."
"Great place, easily accessible to beaches, historical sites, airport bus 5 minutes walk from the hostel. Only thing i didn’t like was the small shower room in the shared bath room"
"A good base right on the beach, 10 min walk to Mandraki Harbour and 20 min to the heart of the Old Town. Lots of good restaurants nearby. Breakfast was excellent full hot and cold buffet. Staff exceptionally friendly and our room was clean and comfortable. Parking outside the hotel was available. If sitting by the pool all day is your thing the pool is very small but the hotel is on the beach. Sunsets were fabulous."
"Honestly I have 0 complaints. I came here with my gf during quite season so got to enjoy a quite peaceful stay and had a lot of freedom around the hotel. The staff were absolutely lovely, helpful and polite. The food options were quite good on most days and the drinks at the bar from our all inclusive were excellent, we got as many drinks as we wanted whenever and bar staff did not complain one bit or seem bothered as well as the quality of the drinks did not drop. There was a lovely young lady bar tender who’s name I unfortunately forgot, who served us during our stay for most days. Really wanted to thank her , she might remember the young couple she served during this week(young black boy and mixraced girl) and also a nice bar tender, white male who was also very nice and helpful who even recommended a location of a festival near the town hall which was lovely. The room was very nice too , spacious nice bathroom, bed was very comfortable and also liked the mini fridge in the room which was handy as well as the balcony. I honestly have no bad words to say, enjoyed a great stay from beginning to end 🙏"
