RodosRooms stands on Nikiforou Mandilara Street in Neochori, the modern district just outside the walls, and it offers a practical alternative to sleeping inside the medieval town. The Old Town gates are only about two minutes away on foot, the casino is three, Mandraki harbour about nine and the Palace of the Grand Master around ten, so you can walk into the walls for the day and return to a quieter street in the evening. Elli Beach, the town beach, is a walk of roughly five to ten minutes. The property has five room types: a basic studio and a city studio with a queen bed, a one-bedroom deluxe apartment of about twenty-five square metres that sleeps three with a king bed and a sofa bed, and a junior suite and a superior suite with a king bed, a jetted tub and city views. Rooms have air conditioning, free WiFi, a mini fridge, a flat-screen television and a bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer.
Location and getting around
Neochori is where locals live and eat, so the streets around the hotel have cafes, bars and restaurants within a minute or two on foot, and the city bus and taxi ranks are close by. Diagoras Airport is about a thirty-minute drive. The hotel does not offer parking, so if you are travelling with a hire car you will need to look for a public space nearby, which is one reason many guests use taxis and their feet in Rhodes Town.
The location makes it easy to reach the harbour for boat trips and the bus station for Lindos and the west coast.
The rooms and facilities
The property is a studio and suite hotel, so it is better for couples and small groups than for large families, though the apartment with a sofa bed can sleep a third person. The jetted-tub suites are the treat for a cold evening after a day in the cobbled lanes. Sound-insulated walls help in a lively district, and daily housekeeping, express check-in and check-out, luggage storage and a bar are available.
The building is smoke-free, pets are not allowed, and breakfast is not part of the standard offer, so you will want to pick a cafe in the neighbourhood for your morning coffee. Check-in starts in the afternoon and check-out is at noon.
Who it suits
Travellers who want to be next to the walls but would rather not deal with the cobbles and steps of the Old Town, visitors who want an easy walk to Elli Beach and the casino, and anyone who prefers a modern room with a bathtub to a medieval building. Guests rate it well overall. It is not a pick for those who want a pool, a spa or a car park.
Seasons and booking
As an all-year city property, it is a sensible choice in the quiet months when many resort hotels along the coast are closed, and the streets nearby stay open for local life. Free cancellation is available on selected rates, which helps if you are watching the weather or ferry timetables. Book early for summer weekends.
