La propiedad — Villa Katrin
Villa Katrin is a simple, family-run 3-star just back from the centre of Rhodes Town. The lobby smells faintly of lemon polish and breakfast coffee, with a reception desk lined with hand-drawn maps of Old Town alleys. Its USP is solid value for money — clean rooms, a small pool, and a terrace where you eat fresh Greek salad under a vine — best suited to couples or solo travellers who want a quiet base rather than resort amenities.
Crónicas de Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned city with a grid layout. Its medieval Old Town, encircled by 4 km of UNESCO-listed walls, was built by the Knights of St John during their occupation from 1309 to 1522. The Ottomans added mosques and baths; the Italians who ruled 1912-1943 widened streets and added Fascist-era administrative buildings. Today the city lives on tourism, with a lively mix of Byzantine churches, Turkish fountains, and harbour cafe culture that feels distinctly Eastern Mediterranean.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Rodos →Los mejores meses
May, June, September — temperatures 25-30°C, sea warm enough to swim, streets busy but not jammed. July-August are too hot and crowded.
Peak / Festival Surge
July-August — temperatures regularly hit 35°C; the island fills with package tourists. Hotel prices double from shoulder rates. The Medieval Festival (late August) draws extra crowds but is mostly in the Old Town.
La temporada del hombro
May and September — 20-30% cheaper than peak, still sunny, much quieter museums and beaches. October works but evenings can be cool and some hotels close mid-month.
Tiempo y embalaje
July in Rhodes is scorching dry, with an afternoon Meltemi wind that can gust suddenly. Pack: 1 light jacket or pashmina for the evening breeze, strong SPF 50+ sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle — the tap water is drinkable but salty.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Rodos
- The Old Town’s main thoroughfare, Sokratous Street, is due to complete its pedestrianisation upgrade by June 2026, improving walking flow but expect some construction noise near the Clock Tower.
- Rhodes’ bus depot at the New Market (Nea Agora) has added digital display boards and a new express service to Lindos every 30 minutes, cutting travel time to 50 minutes.
- The municipal beach at Elli has installed new sunbed rental kiosks and a wheelchair-accessible ramp ahead of the July season — free entry, showers open until 8 pm.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Villa Katrin, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor at the rear of the building. These are furthest from the street and lift, and less likely to pick up footfall from above. The third floor is high enough to catch a breeze but not so high that the lift becomes slow or unreliable.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (room numbers starting with 1). They face the street directly and suffer from late-night passer-by noise, plus any morning deliveries. Also skip rooms next to the lift shaft on any floor — the lift motor and doors clang at all hours.
Best views
The best view is from a rear-facing room on floor three or four — likely over the neighbourhood rooftops or the courtyard, rather than the main road. Front-facing rooms look onto the street and parked cars.
Quietest floors
Floors three and four are the quietest. They’re above street-level bustle but below the roof terrace if there is one, and the lift doesn’t stop at every floor as often as lower levels.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on Rodos’ main thoroughfare or a busy side street — expect scooter and taxi noise until late. The lift is old and creaks, especially on floors 1–2. Reception and any bar are on ground floor, so that area hums until 11 pm.
Insider tips
1. Ask at check-in for a room at the back and high up — the 3-star system often upgrades quiet requests at no cost. 2. Parking is tight in Rodos town: arrive by 4 pm to snag a roadside spot, or ask reception which nearby car park has the best day-rate.
- 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

Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in Rodos town for best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots as they add poor rates and high fees.
Cards are widely accepted in most restaurants, shops, and hotels; contactless and mobile pay work fine, but cash is still expected for small purchases at street stalls or in villages.
Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory; leave 5-10% cash at restaurants if service is good, round up taxi fares, and tip hotel staff a few euros for good service.
Comer, comprar y viajar en un presupuesto
Cheap car hire →A Greek frappe or freddo cappuccino at a local kafeneio costs roughly 2–3 euros.
A gyros pita from a souvlaki stand is a solid budget lunch, about 4–5 euros.
A simple main course like moussaka or a grilled fish at a modest taverna runs around 8–12 euros.
The old town and Mandraki harbour area have plenty of souvlaki and crepe stalls for cheap eats.
Lidl, AB Vassilopoulos, and Sklavenitis are the main supermarket chains found across the island, including in Rodos town.
For affordable high-street clothes, head to the shops along Papagou and Orfanidou streets in Rodos town; markets also offer cheaper touristy basics.
Local buses cost around 2 euros per ride; a day pass is about 5 euros. From the airport, take the bus for 2.50 euros into town, not a taxi (which costs 30+ euros).
Buy water and snacks at supermarkets, not tourist kiosks. Eat lunch at tavernas a few blocks back from the beach for lower prices. Use the public bus network rather than taxis for island trips.
