Dobre miejsce na nocleg
Pros:

Dobry hotel w spokojnej części miasta. Można się najeść śniadaniem. Jest basen ale nie ma sensu korzystać bo 10 min spacerem jest świetna plaża mniej uczęszczana turystycznie (plaża kamienista ale na dnie piasek, jest dość płytko i bezpiecznie )

Jederzeit gerne wieder!
Pros:

Lage zur Marina direkt gegenüber! Perfekt für uns. Personal war super nett und sehr aufmerksam. Konnten Gepäck sowohl vor als auch nach unseren Törn dort ‚parken‘, was für uns super war.

Cons:

Nichts, was man bei dem Preis nicht erwartet hätte. Das Bad war zB schon sehr ‚abgerockt‘, aber die Betten waren einwandfrei.

Iloinen positiivinen yllätys
Pros:

Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä. Siivous oli hyvä. Respa ja baari oli auki 24/7. Aamupala oli ihan hyvä: erityisesti ilahduin, että oli tomaattia, kurkkua ja hyvää fetaa sekä kreikkalaista jugurttia & tuoreita meloneja, tuoretta leipää ja munia sekä keitettynä, että toisessa muodossa. Oli ihanaa voida syödä aamupala ulkona, myös sisällä oli mahdollista. Parvekkeemme oli iso, meri näkyi, aurinko paistoi aamusta ja illalla se oli varjon puolella. Pieni liikenneympyrä ihan hotellin edessä tuntui ensin oudolta, mutta pitkän oleskelumme aikana viihdyimme parvekkeella seuraamassa elämää ympyrässä. Huoneessa oli ilmastointi, jääkaappi ja hyvä fööni, mitkä olivat hyvä juttu. Vaatekaappi ja laatikoita löytyi, saatiin tavaroita leviteltyä ihan kivasti. On hyvä, että hotellilla on 2 tähteä, odotukset eivät olleet korkeat ja ylittyivät kaikilta osin. Hotellin lähellä on 24h auki oleva kioski, ihan loistavaa. Läheiset ravintolat ovat paikallisten suosimia ja edullisempia kuin keskustassa. Läheinen uimaranta on oikein toimiva. Hotellilta oli hyvä matka Vanhaan Kaupunkiin, n. 1km. ja tuli käveltyä, kun lähti keskustaan. Lähellä oli tavallinen ruokakauppa ja vähän kauempana iso marketti.

Cons:

Huone on pieni ja kylpyhuone vielä pienempi, suihkuverho oli ihossa kiinni, mutta kyllä siellä pärjäsi. Aamiaisella olisi ollut ihanaa, jos olisi ollut muitakin tuoreita hedelmiä välillä eikä makkaravalikoima puhutellut, keitetyt munat olisivat voineet olla vähemmän keitettyjä, mutta ei oikeasti mitään valitettavaa: hinta-laatusuhde oli oikein kohdallaan.

A premium experience for an affordable price
Pros:

Staff were absolutely amazing! Great location close to the New and Old Town, and right next to the sea. Very clean and room was comfortable. Great value for money if you are looking for somewhere cheap/moderate in price whilst still feeling like a premium experience :)

Cons:

Only slight complaint was the pool is not too big, but it was also quiet when we went so was not really an issue at all.

An average two-star hotel with pros and cons.
Pros:

The staff were very nice. The pool and the bar add to the appeal of the hotel. I could rent a car from the hotel so I didn't have to look for a car rental service in the city. The beach, some shops and bars are pretty close to the hotel. We were offered an airport transfer, which was convenient, the driver was very kind and helpful.

Cons:

The room could have been cleaner and in better condition especially the bathroom. The breakfast was adequate but do not expect something special. As the hotel is located at a roundabout, it was a bit noisy because of the heavy traffic.

Pros:

Πολύ καλή καθαριότητα καθημερινά από τις κυρίες. Γενικά το προσωπικό ήταν φιλικό και πρόθυμο να εξυπηρετήσει. Συνολικά το κατάλυμα έχει καλή σχέση ποιότητας τιμής.

Pros:

Good location, and the place is not overcrowded. It’s a 5-minute walk to the sandy beach. Cafés and restaurants are all around, offering fast food, local cuisine, and Mediterranean cuisine. The old town of Rhodes is also reachable within a 15-minute walk.

The hotel has a swimming pool and a billiard table.

The room was clean and quiet, with a balcony.

The staff were polite and welcoming.

Car rental is available at the reception.

Breakfast was fine, although it was the same every day.

Cons:

For those who care about room size: the room is smaller than the advertised 20 sq. m. It is approximately 12 sq. m. Not a big issue if you use the room mainly for sleeping and resting.

Excellent location and a lovely welcoming hotel.
Pros:

The location was perfect- close to the main town and historic areas, but also 5 minutes from a lovely beach and walking distance to the port. The staff were so friendly and helpful and it was nice being in a family run hotel. The hotel is in a residential area and was quiet, yet with all the services you need close by. The room was simple, clean and ideal for a short stay. We visited lovely restaurants nearby. Breakfast was plentiful with a lot of choice. Would absolutely recommend to others and happily return for another visit,

Cons:

Nothing-
