The Property — Midgard Suites
Midgard Suites is a quiet, modern bolt-hole tucked away from Rhodes’ Old Town bustle. The lobby feels like a calm, minimalist gallery – pale stone, olive-wood accents, and a front desk that actually knows the local ferry timetable. It leans towards couples or solo travellers who want a proper four-star sleep and a short walk to the beach, not a party crowd.
Chronicles of Rhodes
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and rebuilt by the Knights of St John in the 14th century, who ringed it with the formidable medieval walls that still stand. The Ottomans added minarets and baths, the Italians widened the main drags, and today the UNESCO-listed Old Town is a dense mix of cobbled alleys, Byzantine churches, and tourist tavernas. The contemporary city lives on tourism, but locals still tip their hats to the Knights’ legacy in the palace and the harbour’s Colossus myth.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rhodes guide →Best months
May, June, September – sunny and hot but not scorching, sea warm enough to swim, crowds tolerable outside school holidays.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak; Rhodes is packed with charter flights, cruise ships, and European families. Hotel prices jump 40-60% above shoulder rates. Events: the Medieval Festival in mid-August (jousting, costumed parades in Old Town).
Budget shoulder season
April, October – cheaper rooms by 30-50%, still 20-25°C, just less reliable sun. May is the sweet spot for value and weather.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes is reliably hot (average high 31°C) with a stiff northerly ‘meltemi’ wind that picks up in the afternoon. Pack a loose linen shirt and a light windbreaker for evening harbour walks.
Live City Briefing — Rhodes
- The Old Town’s main street, Sokratous, has a new pedestrian zone from Plateia Ippokratous up to the Palace – useful for strolling but watch your step on the uneven cobbles at night.
- Rhodes’ new marina opened in 2025 near Mandraki Harbour, with a handful of seafood restaurants and a direct waterfront path to the beach – cuts 10 minutes off the walk from Midgard Suites.
- Local buses from the central terminal to Lindos (route L2) are running on a reduced summer timetable due to driver shortages – check the KTEL Rhodes app or queue early for the 09:00.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Midgard Suites, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor, as they are high enough to reduce street noise from Alexandridou but still within reliable lift service (likely a 5-storey building given mid-range 4-star). Upper floors also offer better views over the city towards the sea.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the street on floors 1-3, especially low-numbered rooms near the front entrance or lift shaft. The bar or restaurant (if present) could be on the ground floor, adding noise. Also avoid rooms directly above the main entrance or service areas.
Best views
Request a room with a higher floor facing the rear or side of the hotel (away from Alexandridou). Top-floor rooms may offer partial sea or mountain views over the city rooftops, but confirm at check-in.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 (top floor) are quietest, furthest from street and lobby activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Alexandridou is a main road through Rhodes town, so expect vehicle noise during the day and early evening, especially in lower-front rooms. The hotel may have a bar or restaurant on site; request a room away from these facilities.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (after 14:00) to secure a high-floor room away from the street, as this hotel is small and popular. 2. Parking is limited in Rhodes old town; ask the hotel for a reserved spot or nearby garage details when booking.
- 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

Use ATMs in Rhodes town or the village centres; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist kiosks on Mandraki harbour as they give poor rates.

Supermarkets like AB Vassilopoulos and Lidl are common in the 85131 area (Afandou, Kolymbia, Archangelos).
For budget clothes, the H&M and Zara in Rhodes town’s new city (Ermou Street) or the weekly market in Afandou (Thursday mornings) are good bets.

Top Attractions in Rhodes
💡 Go at sunset for the best light on the harbour. The free area includes parts of the moat and outer walls – walk the entire perimeter.
💡 Walk it early morning before the crowds – the quiet stone echo is memorable. The side alleys off the street have original Crusader carvings.
💡 Arrive before 10am to claim a free sunbed at one of the public sections. The beach bar at the south end does cheap frappés.
💡 Start at the Eleftherias Gate and follow the wall clockwise – you'll pass the Grand Master's Palace and the sea. Do it at 6pm for cool breezes. The path is shaded in parts.
💡 The best viewpoint is at the top near the ancient stadium – no ticket needed. Bring water; no shops up there. Great for a picnic or run.
