Meliton Hotel

A little oasis, very clean and great staff.

very good hotel, very clean, the bar and shop staff made the holiday so great especially Honey, she was just so lovely and so were the rest. The room itself was very clean and very comfortable, i highly recommend this place if youre looking for a relaxing holiday!

Just back today from our holiday.
This is an honest review!
The only downside to this hotel is the food.
Apart from that the staff, the rooms the pool areas are 5/5!
Very clean and you can’t fault the cleaning service of the rooms. Fresh towels and bed making service daily.
20/30 minute into the town but lovejy food at Billy’s.
And the sunset on the beach is amazing!
I would go back to this hotel again but maybe not as an all inclusive.
Greek night was really funny as was the karaoke night !
We hired a car and went into the old town and that was lovely too…
All in all we would definitely visit here again.

Meliton Hotel is a beautiful hotel, we had room 47 and it was lovely. It's a very peaceful hotel if your looking for a quiet stay. You are in the middle of the countryside, there is a very small town about a 30 minute walk which we did one evening but got a taxi back as the lighting to walk back to the hotel is quite poor through a lane. The beach is a pebble beach which wasn't for us so we hired a car and drove to faliraki beach 30 minute drive much better beach. I would have given this hotel 5 stars but the really downfall for us was the food, not much choice at all I understand its a small hotel but I've never been to a hotel with such lack of food choice to be honest. On our booking providers website it stated a snack bar this hotel does not have a snack bar so if it's published on your booking providers website it's totally not true. The lack of food is the only thing that let's this hotel down.

We throughly enjoyed staying at the meliton hotel. It’s a great place if you’re looking for a quite relaxing holiday.
The facilities and superior room we stayed in were kept very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
It’s not a very busy hotel they only had two evenings were entertainment was arranged, (saturday traditional dancing & Tuesday karaoke).
During the evening the noise was kept to a minimum and during the day the only sound that was loud was the incects as you are in a bit of the countryside but you got used to it and it became white noise.
The food was good but was limited and not a lot of change in the options.
Overall it’s a really good hotel for a budget holiday.

Stayed at the Meliton Hotel for a week. It’s a bit out of the way, so great if you want a quiet holiday. It’s an easy 5-10 min walk to the bus stop to get to Rhodes, Theologos beach, the airport.

The staff are all so lovely, but especially the women in reception and on the bar were incredible!

The food is very average, can be quite hit and miss but it does the job. Can get ice cream during lunch and dinner too. Soft drinks and tea/coffee available all day. Not a big variety of alcoholic.

The pool area is stunning, with plenty of sun loungers, there’s also a relax pool too if you wanted a quiet dip.

Only downsides for me, was that we were there for a week and didn’t get a single bedding change, no fresh towels and had to ask at reception for toilet roll.
It can get very noisy in the corridors as the doors lock very loudly. Unfortunately we had rowdy neighbours so maybe bring some earplugs!!

Overall, was great for the price. Had a very lovely holiday!

Terrible food choice and bland. Nothing with any variety or taste, evenings consisted of one dish mainly a chicken drumstick, with plain rice and plain pasta. We ended up eating out for 3/5 of the nights and everytime we came back and looked at the options we realised we made the right choices. The hotel is basic, we had to pay extra for AC after arriving. Pool is okay, drinks are okay, locations is average, quite a distance out but close to airport.
Rhodes as an area is absolutely lovely, we would go back tomorrow. Just not to this hotel.

A személyzet rendkívül kedves és segítőkész volt, mindenben a rendelkezésünkre álltak. Még az autó- és robogóbérlést is elintézték helyettünk, így reggelre már a hotel parkolójában vártak minket a járművek. Az ételek is kifejezetten finomak voltak!

2/5 ⭐ – Rhodes is wonderful, but we wouldn’t stay here again.

The hotel has some positives. The staff were friendly and hardworking, our room was clean, the pool area was well maintained, and the complimentary shuttle to the beach was appreciated.

Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives for us.

The food was consistently disappointing throughout our stay. It lacked flavour, variety and quality, and even as someone who isn’t particularly fussy, I struggled to find meals I genuinely enjoyed.

We were also disappointed that air conditioning was an additional charge, especially for an all-inclusive holiday during the Greek summer.

The all-inclusive drinks package was much more limited than we expected. Cocktails were only available during a one-hour “cocktail hour” between 9pm and 10pm, with just one cocktail offered each day. All-inclusive drinks then ended at 10:30pm.

The hotel’s location is also worth considering. There is very little within walking distance, so unless you’re planning to hire a car or scooter, or rely on taxis, you’re largely confined to the hotel. The free beach shuttle was a nice touch, but it only ran once a day (10am to 1pm), so staying longer at the beach meant arranging your own transport back.

We were fortunate that my partner has a motorcycle licence, so we hired a 300cc scooter and explored the island ourselves. Along with our trip to Symi, that became the highlight of our holiday.

One final point was the noise. Our room was close to the bar and kitchen, and we were regularly woken early by activity from the kitchen and kept awake at night by noise from the bar area. This may not affect every room, but it’s something worth being aware of if you’re a light sleeper.

Rhodes is a beautiful island and we’d happily return. However, we wouldn’t choose to stay at this hotel again.

Food was THE WORST I've tried , no flavours at all on any meals, what a shame .
Location bad. Bugs everywhere.
Don't recommend

The pool looks nice. The food is average. The staff is doing their best. The area is charming.

Just back late last night from here. Hotel is spotless, staff are very friendly and helpful. Family run, has 2 decent pools, plenty of loungers. Rooms are clean and spacious. AI is good, has a range of local spirits and beer along with wine and soft drinks. Food isn’t the biggest selection but it’s more than adequate, fresh and tasty. 10 minutes from airport and only an hour bus journey into Rhodes. Short walk to bus stop €3 to get into Rhodes. Bus tickets sold at reception, car hire, trips etc sold too. Air con is extra but worth it. Small mini mart on site. AI stops at 22.30 but can pay for drinks after that. Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook. First time in Greece and won’t be the last. Two trips we did that siding disappoint was speed boat to Symi and Farma of Rhodes.

It was an excelent vacation spot,great location,very clean and very friendly staff.Highly recommend !

Came for a short break , this week & can honestly it’s been lovely.
All staff are really friendly & polite .
Food is a bit hit & miss but it’s a small family run hotel & done very well.
It’s a bit out of the way , but we hired a car & went all over the island .
Would definitely stay here again if we came back to Rhodes, but that is unlikely as there is a whole world out there to explore.
Overall a quiet, friendly hotel.

We have stayed at the Meliton Hotel several times over the last 10 years. We find it a well run, friendly hotel, very good for a 3 star place. The rooms and grounds are well maintained and laid out.
The Meliton Hotel is a lovely place to unwind and relax, if you want a party hotel this is not the hotel for you look at Faliraki or Ialysos. The Meliton Hotel is a great base if you're exploring especially if you hire a car.
The rooms are clean, please note the rooms don't get cleaned everyday, it is usually every other day, this is also true of towel changes. The towels are for room use only not for using by the pools, you'll need to pack your own. I noted a previous reviewer said the towels were yellow, they aren't, they appear yellow in the bathroom due to the colour of the lights. If you view them in daylight you clearly see they are white and clean.
The food is good, fresh and plentiful. The dining room tends to be closed between meals and drinks are available at the outside bar, this includes for meal times and breakfast. The deserts are light and tasty and there is always fresh fruit available, the oranges are amazing and juicy. When the hotel is busy you might have to queue a short while, this is especially true if you go to the lunch and dinner as soon as it opens. Breakfast got busy usually between 08.00-08.30. There is always a salad bar/buffet available as well as hot options. If you are anticipating chips and pizza this hotel is not for you. They provide a good range of foods based on the Greek diet and what is available locally. We think that for a small hotel they do really well. Please note your food/diet preferences in the online check in form when you arrive. This will help the kitchen plan options for vegetarian/vegan diets etc. To do this you need to scroll down on the form before pressing the proceed button.
Please be aware that there is a tourist tax that you need to play on arrival, we worked out it is 5 euros per room per night for your stay. They prefer cash as the banks charge them to process this and it goes to the government (local council) rather than the hotel. We googled it and this is the usual tourist tax for a 3* hotel in Greece (Rhodes Island) - this tax can vary across Europe and has been in place for about a decade in other places such as Barcelona and Venice.
Before booking please look at where is it on a map! Theologos is about a 40 minute drive from Rhodes old town or a 70 minute bus ride. To get to the bus stop you have to walk down a country lane surrounded by farm land. It does have good street lighting but the hotel is surrounded by farmland.
The Meliton Hotel is a lovely place to unwind and relax, if you want a party hotel this is not the hotel for you look at Faliraki or Ialysos. The Meliton Hotel is a great base if you're exploring especially if you hire a car. We hired a care from HiWay care hire locally.
The modernised rooms are lovely, those that haven't been modernised yet might be slightly dated but are clean and comfortable.
For the cost esp. for fully inclusive you get plenty of bang for your buck and we wouldn't revisit so frequently if we couldn't sleep or felt the hotel was unclean. Reading these reviews it can seem that people want 5* experiences forgetting they they are paying 3*.

We visited the Meliton Hotel for a week at the end of May. We were excited to go as this was our first holiday together. When we arrived we were greeted at reception and completed online check in which was quick and easy. We were offered food at a small fee as we arrived after 11pm however, we declined as we were so tired we just wanted to go to bed. Throughout the week we ate at the hotel multiple times and all the food was very good. All of the staff were excellent and very friendly. The room was cleaned every day with new towels provided. By the third night we decided we needed an extra pillow each which was provided without any problems. The atmosphere around the hotel was lovely and calming as you were slightly out of the way of the town, which was exactly what we were looking for. The hotel provided a shuttle service from the hotel to Theologos beach everyday, however we chose to walk as it was around 20 minutes away. On Tuesday they had a karaoke I night which we unfortunately missed out on, however, we were there on the Saturday for Greek night which was brilliant as everyone was up dancing and singing. We travelled to Rhodes by bus which was a 15 minute walk away from the hotel to the bus stop (Lemon Tree). I would definitely recommend using the times provided by Google Maps to find the times of the bus as we had used the Moovit app which ended up telling us incorrect times, so we wasted quite a lot of time waiting for the bus. It was €14 for 2 of us to get a return from Theologos to Rhodes which was definitely worth it. Each night there was music which stayed on until after the bar had closed, but this was no issue as we could not hear the music from our room. The hotel also provided an excursion service on a Sunday where you could chose to visit either Farma of Rhodes or the Butterflies Valley for €10. This was a brilliant experience and would definitely recommend. If you are looking for somewhere else to eat rather than the hotel for a change, we visited Dundees and Seaview Restaurant, which were both brilliant and good food for the price.

Overall, we would definitely recommend the Meliton as it was very good value. The staff are lovely and so welcoming, which made the stay even better.
