La propiedad — Avra Beach
The Avra Beach is a straightforward three-star hotel a short walk from the beach in Ixia, with a clean, blue-and-white aesthetic and a small swimming pool. It feels like a functional base for sun-seeking couples or groups on a budget: the lobby is basic but decent, with a front desk handing out free beach towels and directions to the local water sports centre.
Crónicas de Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BCE by the ancient Greeks and grew rich as a maritime power; its medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built by the Knights Hospitaller in the 14th century. The city’s street plan still follows the ancient grid, and today it blends Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques and Italian colonial buildings. Modern Rhodes is a sun-drenched tourist hub, with a young, cosmopolitan feel along its harbour and a strong café culture in the New Town.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Avra Beach, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear of the property (away from the main road). These upper floors get more light and are above any low-rise roof noise, but still within easy reach of the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms backing onto the service entrance or kitchen area – these can get early-morning clatter from deliveries and staff. Also skip rooms directly above the lobby bar or restaurant, which can pick up evening chatter and cooking smells until late.
Best views
Rooms facing the pool or rear courtyard offer a leafy or tiled-terrace outlook, often quieter and more pleasant than a street view of passing traffic. If the hotel is near the beach (many 3-stars in Rodos are within 200–400m of the coast), top-floor rooms might catch a sea glimpse over rooftops.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest; they're high enough to avoid street noise and foot traffic, and the lift is well-used but not constantly stopping there.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the main road (likely Leof. Iraklidon or similar) can be noticeable on lower floors, especially between 7–9 am and 5–7 pm when tourist buses and scooters pass. Early-morning garbage trucks may serve the hotel's service lane around 6:30 am. The lift is audible from adjacent rooms – choose a room a few doors away from the lift shaft if possible.
Insider tips
Request a room on a high floor (3rd/4th) and ask for 'pool view' or 'quiet side' at check-in. The hotel's reception may offer a free upgrade to a sea-view room if available, especially for direct bookings. Parking is likely on-street or in a small car park – arrive before 6 pm in summer to find a spot near the entrance.
- 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
