Das Eigentum — Rainbow
The Hotel Rainbow is a no-fuss 3-star on the eastern edge of Rhodes Town, a short walk from the beach and a 15-minute stroll from the Old Town. The lobby feels like a functional but friendly hub—airy, with white tiles and a small reception desk where staff are straight-talking and helpful. It suits budget-conscious families or solo travellers who want a clean base with a decent pool and breakfast included, without any pretence. Expect tiled floors, simple bedrooms, and the sound of the sea in the distance, not a boutique experience.
Chroniken von Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and became a major maritime power, famously home to the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. After the Byzantine era, the Knights Hospitaller built a walled city in the 14th century, a UNESCO World Heritage site that remains remarkably intact, with cobbled streets, Gothic palaces, and Ottoman mosques. In the 20th century, Italian occupation added rationalist architecture and broad seafront avenues. Today, the city balances a thriving tourist economy with a local identity built around cafés, markets, and a year-round ferry port that connects it to the rest of the Dodecanese.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Rodos-Guide →Die besten Monate
June, September, and October offer the best blend of hot, dry weather (around 28-30°C) without July and August's peak crowds or prices.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak season, driven by school holidays and northern European tourists. Hotel prices spike by 30-50%. The main events are the Rhodes Summer Festival (theatre and music in the Old Town) and busy ferry schedules to nearby islands.
Budget Schulter Saison
May and late September are ideal budget shoulder months: temperatures are warm (22-26°C), flights and hotels are 20-40% cheaper, and sites like the Palace of the Grand Master are less crowded.
Wetter & Verpackung
Rhodes has a persistent summer Meltemi wind that can pick up sand on beaches, so a lightweight windbreaker or long-sleeved shirt is useful for evenings. Pack at least SPF 50 sunscreen and a reusable water bottle—tap water is safe but tastes mineral-heavy.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Rodos
- The city's new coastal pedestrian walkway from the marina to the New Market (Nea Agora) opened in late 2025, making the seafront pleasant for evening strolls.
- Old Town entry restrictions during peak hours (10 am-6 pm) are now enforced for vehicles, so visitors should park outside and walk or use the new electric shuttle from the port.
- Seasonal note: due to extreme heat in July 2025, many hotels—including Rainbow—installed additional poolside misting systems and extra sun umbrellas; check if these are in operation for 2026.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Rainbow, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (3rd or 4th) facing the rear courtyard. These are furthest from the road and have less foot traffic noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor near the reception or lift lobby – these catch lobby chatter and early-morning luggage noise. Also skip any room directly above the bar or breakfast area (usually ground or 1st floor).
Best views
Rear courtyard or side street (if available) – the front faces a main road in Rodos town, so views are of traffic and pavement.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors
🔊 Noise notes
This is a 3-star hotel on a main road in Rodos town. Street noise (mopeds, taxis, delivery vans) is likely from early morning until late evening. The lift and breakfast setup add morning clatter on lower floors.
Insider tips
1. Request a courtyard-facing room at booking – it’s quieter and usually gets better airflow. 2. If you drive, confirm parking availability (off-street or paid nearby) before arrival, as 3-star hotels in central Rodos often have limited spaces.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Go early morning before 09:00 for photos without crowds. The nearby Jewish Quarter has fewer tourists.
💡 Walk it at dusk when the street lamps glow and most tourists have left. Look for the carved coats of arms above each inn doorway.
💡 Sunset from the pier is excellent. Bring water shoes if you want to wade. The fish market nearby is lively at 08:00.
💡 Best light for photos is just before sunset. Grab a cheap souvlaki from a harbour-side kiosk and sit on the rocks near the windmills.
💡 Start at the Liberty Gate end; the path is mostly flat and takes about 40 minutes. Good for early morning.
💡 Climb at sunset for clear views over the bay and modern city. No ticket needed.
