The Property — Angela Studios
Angela Studios is a straightforward, no-frills two-star property in central Rhodes Town. The small lobby smells faintly of lemon polish and sun-dried towels. It suits budget travellers who want a clean bed near the Old Town and don’t plan to linger indoors. The USP is location: you’re a five-minute walk from the medieval walls and a ten-minute walk from Elli Beach.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BCE as a planned city by the ancient Greek cities of Ialysos, Kamiros and Lindos. Its most striking feature, the medieval Old Town, was built by the Knights of St John from 1309 to 1522, enclosing a grid of cobbled streets within massive fortifications. After Ottoman rule and a short Italian occupation in the early 20th century, the city became part of Greece in 1947. Today it lives as a busy port and tourist hub, blending Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques and beach bars under the same sun.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September. Warm enough for swimming (upper 20s°C) but not roasting; crowds are manageable because school holidays haven’t peaked or have ended.
Peak / festival surge
July and August. Rhodes is packed with European package tourists. Hotel prices double, and Angela Studios will likely sell out weeks ahead. The Medieval Festival in late August and constant sunshine drive demand.
Budget shoulder season
Late April, early May, October. Temperatures sit around 20–25°C, rooms are 30–50% cheaper, and you can walk the Old Town without elbowing through tour groups.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes is reliably hot and dry, but a strong meltemi wind can suddenly chill evenings. Pack a light windproof jacket or fleece, plus sunscreen and a sun hat – the midday sun is fierce enough to burn within 20 minutes.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Rhodes Town’s new pedestrian zone along the Mandraki waterfront is now fully open, reducing bus and car traffic near the port. Taxis must drop off at Plateia Eleftherias.
- The southern section of the Old Town walls is under repair until October 2026; scaffolding blocks some views, but all major gates remain accessible.
- A new direct ferry from Rhodes to Kastellorizo started in June 2026, running three times a week – useful for a day trip if you have time.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Angela Studios, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (the level above street level) if available, as these typically offer the best compromise between accessibility and noise. At a 2-star property with no lift mentioned, first-floor rooms avoid ground-level street noise and are still easy to reach. Favour rooms at the rear of the building (away from the street) for less traffic sound.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street – they get the worst of passing motorbikes, late-night foot traffic and restaurant sounds, common on Rodos’s narrow central streets. Also avoid top-floor rooms if the hotel has no lift, as hauling luggage up steep stairs in summer heat isn't worth it for a basic room.
Best views
With a simple address of 'Rodos' (likely the main town on the island), the best view would be from a street-facing upper room, possibly overlooking the old town’s rooftops or a side alley. But don't expect much – at this star level, views are incidental. A rear-facing room may give a glimpse of a quiet courtyard.
Quietest floors
First floor (one flight up) – if the building has more than two floors, second floor may be even quieter, but check if stairs are manageable.
🔊 Noise notes
Street-level noise is the main issue – Rodos Old Town has narrow lanes with mopeds, delivery scooters and bar crowds until late. The hotel’s entrance and any ground-floor common areas (if they exist) will amplify this. If near a restaurant or bakery, expect early-morning clatter. No lift means you’ll hear footsteps on the stairs.
Insider tips
1. Arrive with your luggage already packed in one easy-to-carry bag – no lift means you’ll carry everything up stairs, and a 2-star hotel won’t have porters. 2. Ask at check-in for a room at the back (away from the street side) – even if standard, the difference in noise is dramatic, especially on a Friday night in summer.
- 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

Top Attractions in Rodos
💡 Come at dawn or dusk for photos without crowds. The lanterns look magical after sunset, and the architecture is best seen without souvenir stalls in the way.
💡 Go early morning before 09:00 for photos without crowds. The nearby Jewish Quarter has fewer tourists.
💡 Walk it at dusk when the street lamps glow and most tourists have left. Look for the carved coats of arms above each inn doorway.
💡 Sunset from the pier is excellent. Bring water shoes if you want to wade. The fish market nearby is lively at 08:00.
💡 Best light for photos is just before sunset. Grab a cheap souvlaki from a harbour-side kiosk and sit on the rocks near the windmills.
💡 Start at the Liberty Gate end; the path is mostly flat and takes about 40 minutes. Good for early morning.
💡 Climb at sunset for clear views over the bay and modern city. No ticket needed.
