The Property — 10GR Hotel
The 10GR Hotel is a compact city bolt-hole a short walk from Rhodes' old walls. Its lobby feels like a sleek, minimal hangout — pale wood, good lighting, a decent coffee corner — but this is less a destination in itself than solid, practical base for exploring. It suits independent travellers or couples who want a clean, efficient 3-star with proper air-con, reliable Wi-Fi and a small pool to cool off in after a day in the sun, not lounge-around luxury.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes town was founded in 408 BC as a unified capital, its street grid laid out by the architect Hippodamus. The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built by the Knights Hospitaller after 1309, with the Palace of the Grand Master at its heart. Ottoman minarets and later Italian colonial buildings from the 1920s layer over the Byzantine and Classical foundations, giving the city a dense, palimpsest quality. Today, the city balances tourism with a working port, small local shops and a surprisingly quiet off-season life in the Mandraki harbour quarter.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, September, and early October offer 26–30°C days, warm sea, and far fewer crowds than July–August.
Peak / festival surge
July–August is the blistering peak: temperatures hit 35°C+, hotels reach 90%+ occupancy, and prices double from spring levels. The Sound of Rhodes music festival in late July and constant cruise ship arrivals drive demand.
Budget shoulder season
May and September–early October give you 20–40% discounts on rooms, still 25–28°C heat, and a fraction of the peak-season queue at the Palace of the Grand Master.
Weather & packing
Rhodes gets summertime meltemi winds — strong, dry northerlies that can kick up late afternoon, making sundown on a scooter surprisingly chilly. Pack a light windbreaker or long-sleeved cotton layer even if the forecast says 30°C.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Old Town's main pedestrian street, Sokratous, has new shaded seating areas and café extensions installed in early 2026, easing summer crowding near the mosque.
- Rhodes Port is undergoing quayside repairs until late 2026; some ferry departures (especially to Simi) may relocate to Kolonna pier — check departure boards the day before.
- A new direct bus line from Diagoras airport to Rhodes town (route 01) now runs every 20 minutes from June 2026, cutting taxi demand and fares.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to 10GR Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor facing the courtyard (away from Dimosthenous). You'll get more natural light from the upper level and less street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms at the front of the hotel – they face the street directly and get both foot traffic and early morning deliveries. Also skip rooms near the lift on any floor, especially the first, as the lift motor can be audible in adjacent rooms.
Best views
Rooms on the third floor at the front can see over the rooftops towards Mandraki harbour and the old town walls. Side-facing rooms may see the municipal garden.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors are quietest, especially rooms at the rear or side.
🔊 Noise notes
Dimosthenous is a main road running from the old town to the new town, with morning delivery trucks, scooters, and bar-goers until late. The lift motor hums on the ground and first floors. The side entrance ramp buzz can be heard from ground floor rooms near it.
Insider tips
Use Parking Mandraki (€12 per 24h) – it's a 100 m walk and saves hunting for scarce street parking. For a quieter room, ask at check-in for a third-floor rear-facing room (no extra charge). Wi-Fi is free but slow (15 Mbps); stream or download before 8 pm if you need heavy bandwidth.
- 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

Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels; contactless is standard. Cash is still needed for small tavernas, market stalls, and buses.
Rounding up the bill (e.g., €1-2) is fine in restaurants; taxis don't expect tips, but a euro or two is appreciated; hotel staff welcome €1-2 per bag.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget

A gyros pita from a souvlaki shop — €3.50-4.50.
A Greek salad or moussaka at a family taverna — main dish €10-12.
The old town and Mandraki harbour area are full of souvlaki and gyros shops, especially along Socrates Street and around the marina.
Supermarkets like Lidl, AB Vassilopoulos, and Masoutis are common on the main roads out of the old town.
The high street in Rodos town has chains like H&M and Zara; for cheaper options, try the market stalls in the old town (bargain in cash).

Eat at tavernas away from tourist squares for better prices; buy water and snacks at supermarkets, not mini-markets in the old town; use the bus instead of taxis for short trips.
