Anika Studios

Booked this with Easyjet, the rooms are being sold by other operators as twin beds but decided to go with Easyjet.
The hotel is not near anything, you will have to cross the equivalent of m25 to go to the beach.
The room we had was a double bed not twin , self catering with only a kettle but there was a colendar and a few grubby pots . The electric for kettle was under the sink.
The manky bathroom was basically a hose pipe coming off the taps over a shower tray I wouldn't even wash my dog in.
There was a big hole in concrete floor that was filled in but not smoothly.
The owners was awful when we spoke to him .
Easyjet not interested, £100 compensation
Didn't stay there ,we booked from booking.com and left within the hour

Set in a quiet location, yet just a short walk from all Faliraki has to offer, with two outside pools (one 18+ only) and plenty of sunbeds/parasols, there's plenty of options for sun bathing or relaxing in the shade. Each pool has its own bar, and the restaurant serves good food, although the breakfasts lacked hot options.
Our rooms were clean and very spacious though starkly decorated, and the kitchenettes weren't very well equipped for self-catering, but we managed between the 4 rooms we had booked.
Staff were helpful and friendly, and we thought it was perfect for our 18 - 65 year old group.

The pool and the entrance is lovely but the bedrooms and service is poor

To start off with our freezer and fridge was leaking
Even though we complained several times the staff still failed to sort it out except they gave us towels which they just got soaked and didn’t help at all and we was left with no freezer for 2 weeks so I definitely don’t recommend self catering

We was also disappointed with the room as there was a lot of health and safety issues like plug sockets hanging off the wall and even wall lights hanging from wires the towel rail started to hang off the wall and in the bath room there is just big clumps of mould and cracks by the window causing lots of ants and bugs to coming in

Another thing what disappointed us was the cleaners they didn’t sweep the floor to get rid of any dirt or hair so our feet was just covered in horrible bits 24/7

On the day the cleaners were due to come they failed to take our rubbish bag
So then we had to go to the reception to leave it there and get a new bag

We was also annoyed about how we came back to our hotel room to see one of our personal bags been used as a bin bag for the toilet paper so yet again having to go back to reception to get another bag for that bin

I also recommend to Make sure u bring a fan or money to pay for the Aircon as they charge you £10 for a full day which it never even mentioned anywhere on the hotel website or information

For the price of the hotel you can’t go wrong 2 pools, lovely staff, amazing restaurant downstairs and just overall had a really good experience. There was no loud shouting or music through the night and they are quiet strict on people being loud after hours so your guaranteed a good nights sleep

We’ve stayed at Anika Studios a few times now and it never disappoints. The family and staff are brilliant, always welcoming, and the food is absolutely amazing — with cocktails to match. The pool is perfect for relaxing during the day or unwinding after the beach. Great location, great price, and a place we’ll keep coming back to.

Lovely pools room not equipped for self catering. No chest of draws just a small wardrobe with 5 hangers. The bathroom has no shelves to put your toiletries on. Some days smell of drains in the room was quite bad. Some of the staff were ok the french waiter in pool bar made you think he was doing you a favour when asking for gyros at lunch time. Food price was expensive . Falaraki is a beautiful place will definitely go back but not to this apartment.

I never ever leave reviews however this place is FANTASTIC. The hotel is beautiful, the staff are lovely and very polite, the food was amazing. I haven't got a bad word to say, it was absolutely beautiful!

From start to finish our holiday was truly amazing and our stay in Anika was definitely 💯 the team there run a superb business, with cleanliness and organisation top priority. 1st class accommodation and service. Exceptional staff Valentino, Jessie, Tassos, Poppe, George and all the team. We look forward to seeing you all again. Maria & Manos

After travelling for 50+ years this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. We specified disability issues which is why we chose here upon arriving they keys were thrown at up and we were given the top floor their attitude was take it of leave it. After speaking
To our holiday provider we were eventually moved.
The food was frozen and partially cooked and the service was appalling even though it was very quiet.
Cleanliness was another issue with ants all over the room which was supposed to have been cleaned which it wasn’t even our small trash can wasn’t emptied. Some of the staff were more interested is the young women and bikini tops rather than guests.

I have lost count at what no. stay this is at Anika but I can say it definitely won't be the last!

We love visiting Anika and August was our second trip in 2025. Anika itself is slightly set back from the centre of Faliraki, but our family (2 grandparents, 4 adults and 1 baby in a pram) managed it no issues every day, sometimes multiple times. It is a 10 minute walk from Anika to be in the centre of Faliraki.

The rooms are spacious, have kitchen facilities and a bathroom/shower and are cleaned every other day.

The pool/bar/restaurant area is a fantastic place to relax. We had no issues in getting sunbeds throughout our week stay. The drink choice is great, there is a fridge with a large selection of beers, wines, soft drinks but I would recommend asking either Valentin or Jessie to make you a cocktail as they always went down well!

The food at Anika is delicious! We ate nearly every lunch time and some of the evenings during our stay. Between our family we almost sampled the whole menu, and did not have one complaint - it was genuinely 10/10. (Especially the hummus!)

Above everything, it really is the staff who work at Anika who leave you with that warm feeling in your heart. You can sense the family feel as soon as you arrive.

A special shout to George, Despina, Tasos, Jessie and Valentin! We will see you next year.

Super disappointed with the accommodation on arrival to our long awaited honeymoon in Greece. The apartment was awful, the toilet / shower was tiny. You had to stand in the shower to close the door! The balcony was just as small. The air conditioning rattled constantly and for at least an hour after being switched off. The only positive was that it was clean. The beds were uncomfortable, zero self catering options. A fridge and a kettle. The onsite facilities at Anika were poor, was the absolute worst breakfast ever for the cost of 14 each! A standard can of mineral was 3.50, you literally couldn't eat anything without spending 30+. On the plus side the neighbouring accommodation was beautiful, the pool area and unlike a few of the staff the girl working in the bar was extremely friendly. The weather could not be any better, its what made the holiday. If id know you'd to walk almost 1km down hilltop the closest shop and pay 10 euro to a taxi to come up, i'd have chosen another property. There is also no lifts at this property and zero help with carrying luggage. Disappointed to say we weren't asked once was our stay.ok, just a hand written note under the door to say check out tomorrow 11am! The warmth of the hospitality ive experienced in other countries sadly was amiss. The town for food and drink was also over priced. All in all we made the holiday ourselves, Rhodes is fabulous absolutely stunning but Falaraki in itself disappointing and Anika a choice I would not recommend.

Staff are amazing, at reception and in the resturant bar, the beds were comfy as can be. Had no issues whatsoever while away and any questions we had reception did their best to answer them! Really really reccomend this place!

Wee Jem of a place, great location and the food in the restaurant is excellent... Valentino the bar man made our stay so much better couldn't do enough for us!! Will definitely be back...

Great little place loved it. Close enough to walk to the centre without all the noise. Excellent staff, most helpful and always smilingly. Really fab food. Decent prices. Would definitely go again. Thanks for a great stay for my friends and I.

We were genuinely disappointed with our recent stay at Anika Studios, especially after reading so many positive reviews beforehand.

From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were not particularly welcoming, and although we were aware of the additional charges (€10 per night for air conditioning and the tourist tax), there was little effort made to make us feel comfortable or valued as guests.

We were allocated room 307, located up two flights of stairs. There is no lift so bare this in mind if you have issues with stairs. At first glance, the room appeared basic but acceptable, which we expected from a two-star accommodation. However, the cleanliness left much to be desired. We were told the room would be cleaned every two days, but aside from a change of towels and sheets, no actual cleaning took place. The floor was never swept or mopped during our 7-day stay, and a dead wasp in the corner remained untouched the entire time. By the end of the week, the floor was visibly dirty. To make matters worse, one set of sheets had bloodstains on them — completely unacceptable.

The bathroom was shockingly small, with a poor layout. The shower curtain failed to contain any water, flooding the floor almost immediately. A constant unpleasant smell came from the bathroom drain, making it even more uncomfortable.

The air conditioning was sub-par. The directional fans inside the unit were broken, so air couldn’t be directed properly. It did cool the room eventually, but only after being on for 5–10 minutes. You can’t leave it running while out, so every return to the room meant entering a sweltering space.

In the kitchenette, the tap only produced cold water, meaning we had to boil the kettle every time we wanted to wash up. On top of that, there was a persistent foul smell from the sink.

The pool area was also disappointing. The aesthetic of the pool areas were lovely and really lured you in. However, unless you woke up extremely early, it was nearly impossible to get a sunbed due to guests reserving them with towels and not showing up until the afternoon. Despite having two pools, sunbed availability remained an issue. The adults-only pool had plenty of unused space that could easily accommodate more sunbeds, yet the hotel hasn’t done so. The main pool is shaded for most of the day.

Food at the pool bar was tasty, but expensive. After visiting the nearby Telhinis Hotel (which we highly recommend), we found their pool bar offered the same items at much lower prices. For example, a bottle of Mythos at Anika was €5.50, compared to €3 at Telhinis. A club sandwich at Anika was €11.50 versus €5 next door.
The pool bar staff were nice, especially Valentino who went out of his way to make us feel welcome.

There was also a lack of atmosphere around the hotel. Other guests kept to themselves, and we didn’t experience the friendly, social vibe we’ve found at other small hotels.

We feel like this hotel is aesthetically pleasing from the outside looking in but they haven’t put the same effort into their rooms. If you only judged the hotel on pool areas you would think it was a lovely place however you can see from the photos I’ve provided that the rooms leave much to be desired.

Overall, we would not return to Anika Studios and would advise potential guests to read reviews with caution. Based on photos from other travelers, our room appeared to be among the oldest and most run-down. If you’re allocated room 307, we strongly suggest asking for a different one.

My 2nd visit to Anika and it was amazing to be back, room was spotless, pool area/bar area spotless, tasty food and lovely cocktails but what really makes this place special is it staff so friendly so welcoming so a big thank you to Valentin, Jess, Thassos, Despina, Phill a Mouse (lol) and all the rest of the team, will definitely return again

Hotel was amazing, pictures don’t do it justice. Has two pools which are both lovely. Staff were so nice and welcoming and very helpful. Offered to move sun beds whenever we needed as there was 3 of us. The room was really spacious. Have to pay for aircon but considering how cheap the stay was I don’t think that was an issue! Location is about a 5 minute walk to the strip and the views from the balcony were beautiful. Would highly recommend if you want a decent price holiday for such amazing quality!! The food at the restaurant was also really nice. Don’t really have any complaints from our visit at all. Was quite a lot of people staying when we went but was still a quiet hotel in the evenings and 24/7 reception was handy too.

Firstly let’s start off with the surrounding area
1- restaurant - food quality excellent, prices on a par with everywhere else
2 - pool area - 2 pools to use bot superb, the Shultz only pool was fantastic, plenty of sunbeds and all really really comfy
3 - bar areas- sadly over-priced 3.50€ for a can of coke is very steep

The rooms could do with an update and no English speaking TV channels so no point in wasting the effort of putting a TV in the rooms (save your money) shower was more like a power shower superb, would have rather had a pool view but with that may come noise so no bother really, rooms a little small but adequate enough, staff are excellent and very friendly, we have 5 rooms booked for our wedding next year with possibly more yet to book so that answers would I recommend, a stunning restaurant about 200 yards from here called Bridges that you must try

Really nice hotel, fine pool area, stad very nice. Always ready to help.

Food where better at the hotel then it was in the city, would recommend gyros platter and gyros at snack menu. Pasta top very good.

Expected s old rom wire a bed, but very mordene feel when I arrived.

Kitchen Wear in the room to heat food from Yesterday og just if u want a small snack there is a toaster to.

Anika Studios is amazing value for money. My boyfriend and I booked through EasyJet to visit in mid June, and we enjoyed the restaurant and cocktails by the pool. The staff were lovely and friendly, and the aircon was €10 per night upon arrival, which we were expecting and worked brilliantly anyway.

There’s also plenty of room to park a hire car opposite, which we did with no issues. Well located set back outside of the main resort, although there is a 20min walk to the beach, so be aware if you think you might struggle in the heat.

There are plenty of shops/bars/restaurants in Faliraki which we went to to buy some cheap gyros and souvenirs, but would definitely recommend hiring a car to drive down to Lindos, or even just getting an Uber into Rhodes town also.

Maybe one thing to note also, is the mattresses are quite hard. I slept okay but my boyfriend did struggle the first couple of nights.

Overall, a great hotel if you’re looking to see Rhodes on a budget.
