La propriété — Butterfly Studios
Butterfly Studios is a no-nonsense 3-star spot in Rhodes Town, built around simple self-catering apartments with a small pool and a sun terrace. The lobby is modest, tiled, and functional – you’re here for location and value, not frills. It suits independent travellers or couples who want a clean base near the beach and Old Town without paying for extras they won’t use.
Chroniques de Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned city with a grid layout. It later became a Crusader stronghold under the Knights of St John, who fortified it with massive walls, a palace, and a cobbled medieval core that survives today. Earthquake and war have reshaped it, but the Old Town remains a UNESCO World Heritage site – part Venetian fortress, part Ottoman bazaar. Modern Rhodes City is a busy port and tourist hub, with a Greek island pace that slows in summer heat and quickens with ferry arrivals.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Rodos →Meilleurs mois
May, June, September – warm enough for the beach, clear skies, and crowds haven’t hit full crush. July and August are hotter and busier.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August, when European school holidays pack the island. Hotel rates jump 30–50% above shoulder season. Rhodes’ medieval festival and summer concerts in the Old Town draw additional visitors.
La saison des épaules
April and October – still sunny and dry, but with cooler evenings and far fewer tourists. You’ll find studio discounts of 20–30% compared to August.
Météo & Emballage
July Rhodes is reliably hot (30–35°C) but the Meltemi wind can whip up in the afternoon, cooling things suddenly. Pack sun protection first, plus a light long-sleeve for evenings and a windbreaker for ferry rides.
Briefing de la ville — Rodos
- The Rhodes Town inner ring road (around the Old Town moat) has partial lane closures for resurfacing through summer 2026, expect minor delays driving in from the airport.
- New direct flights from Manchester and Berlin launched for summer 2026, making booking early essential – studios like Butterfly fill quickly in peak weeks.
- The municipal beach at Elli, a 10-minute walk from the studio, has installed new showers and sunbed zones for 2026 – but arrive by 9am to claim a spot.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Butterfly Studios, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the rear courtyard. These are quieter and get afternoon shade, which matters in Rhodes summer heat. The lift only serves floors 2-4, so you avoid stairwell noise at ground level.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (street level) and first floor. Ground floor hears pedestrian traffic and passing scooters on Rodos streets; first floor picks up lift mechanics and lobby chatter.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear courtyard look over neighbouring rooftops and local gardens. Street-facing rooms see the old town's pedestrian street, which is lively but can get loud from cafes and mopeds until late.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. The lift stops here, but they're above street noise and below any roof terrace activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos' old town streets are mostly pedestrian but delivery scooters and garbage trucks operate early morning (6-7am). The small lobby bar can generate chatter until 11pm on weekends.
Insider tips
1) Request a top-floor rear room when booking—these are the quietest and coolest. 2) If arriving by car, note on-street parking is limited; ask the front desk for the nearest municipal car park, about 200m away on Dimokratias Street.
- 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
