The Property — Anixis
The Anixis is a straightforward, family-run 3-star hotel a short walk from Rhodes Town’s beach and old town. The lobby is modest but tidy, with a small reception desk and a seating area where locals check maps; the vibe is no-nonsense and friendly, not stylish. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean base near the medieval walls rather than resort frills, and the rooftop terrace offers decent sea views.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned city with a grid layout, and its strategic position made it a wealthy maritime hub. The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders, once stood here until an earthquake destroyed it in 226 BC. The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built by the Knights Hospitaller in the 14th century and still feels like a Crusader fortress with cobbled streets and stone arches. Today, it is a lively tourist centre balanced between Byzantine ruins, Ottoman mosques, and modern cafes, retaining a palpable sense of layered history with every turn.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May and June for warm, sunny days (25-30°C) and calm seas, plus September for similar conditions with fewer crowds. These months avoid peak heat and school holidays.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest, with temperatures hitting 35°C+, ferry terminals packed, and hotel prices often 30-50% higher. The Medieval Festival in June draws visitors, but July’s main driver is European summer vacationers.
Budget shoulder season
Late April and October offer discounts (often 20-40% less than peak), mild 20-25°C weather, and quieter sights. Ferry schedules thin in October, but land-based sightseeing is still good.
Weather & packing
Rhodes is famously windy in summer, particularly the Meltemi wind gusting from the north, strong enough to blow off hats and beach umbrellas. Pack a lightweight windbreaker and a scarf for dust; sunglasses are non-negotiable.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The city’s waterfront promenade near Mandraki harbour has new pedestrian crossings and cycle lanes installed in 2025, easing access from hotels like Anixis to the beach.
- The ‘Rhodes Food Festival’ at the Great Windmill (late June to early July) runs through your stay, with local tastings and cooking demos; expect street closures around Plateia Eleftherias.
- A temporary bus stop relocation at the market square (2026 construction of a new taxi rank) means extra five-minute walk from the hotel to catch buses to Lindos or the airport.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Anixis, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (if no ground floor rooms exist) or second floor, facing away from the main road if the hotel backs onto a quieter side street. These are less likely to have street noise and still easy to reach without waiting for the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms at the back of the hotel near the service entrance or kitchen, where early morning clatter from deliveries and staff may be a problem. Also avoid top-floor rooms if the lift is noisy or the roof is uninsulated.
Best views
The hotel is on Rodos town's main drag, so a rear room may overlook a courtyard or quieter street. Side-facing rooms could catch a sliver of the old town or skyline, but nothing guaranteed from a three-star address on a commercial road.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are likely quietest, as ground floor may pick up lobby traffic and top floors can have roof noise or lift machinery hum. A three-star hotel in Rodos typically has three to four floors, so stick with 1–2.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos town is busy with scooters, delivery trucks, and nightlife. A three-star hotel on a main road likely has single-glazed windows, so street noise is a real concern. Ask for a room with double glazing if available.
Insider tips
1. Arrive early to request a room away from the street—preference is often given to early check-ins. 2. If you're driving, ask if they have free parking on a quiet back street; three-star hotels in Rodos often partner with a local lot.
- 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
