The Property — Annie's Apartment
Annie's Apartment is a straightforward, no-fuss three-star in central Rodos Town. It feels like a well-kept private flat with a small reception desk and a lift that takes you straight to clean, tiled rooms – each with a balcony overlooking the old city's rooftops. There's no pool or restaurant, just a coffee machine in the lobby and a quiet, residential vibe. It suits budget-conscious couples or solo travellers who want a solid base for exploring the historic centre on foot, not lounge-and-swim hotel guests.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rodos Town was founded in 408 BC by the Dorian Greeks and quickly became a maritime power. The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders, once guarded its harbour; the statue fell in an earthquake in 226 BC and was never rebuilt. Crusader Knights of St John fortified the city in the 14th century, leaving a walled old town that is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, the city blends Hellenistic ruins, Byzantine churches and Ottoman mosques, with a modern tourist port and a lively café culture in its medieval lanes.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September offer warm, sunny days (25-30°C) with lower humidity and thinner crowds than July-August. Sightseeing in the old town is still comfortable, and sea temp is pleasant for swimming.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak season: temperatures hit 35°C+, humidity rises, and hotel prices double or triple. The Medieval Festival in mid-August draws extra visitors with jousting and street performers. Book well ahead – Annie's Apartment fills fast.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the cheapest months for decent weather (20-25°C, less crowded). You'll find room rates 40-50% lower than July, though some beach bars and tavernas start closing in late October.
Weather & packing
Rodos has a dry, Mediterranean summer but often gets a sudden north wind (meltemi) in July that whips up dust and raises the UV index. Pack a windproof jacket for evening walks, plus high-SPF sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Rhodes city tram extension to the beachfront is delayed again; visitors still rely on the frequent blue-city bus from Mandraki port to Faliraki or Lindos.
- New this summer: a pedestrianised street market along Sokratous every Wednesday evening, selling local honey, thyme and handmade sandals.
- The Palace of the Grand Master has reintroduced timed-entry tickets to manage queues – book online at least 48 hours ahead for your July visit.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Annie's Apartment, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, facing the rear/internal courtyard. These avoid both street noise from Rodos town roads and the minimal lift traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Do not take ground-floor rooms (floor 0) – they face the street and are closest to foot traffic and any late-night noise from the town. Also avoid rooms directly beside the lift shaft (usually odd-numbered rooms near the staircase) – the lift is small and creaky.
Best views
Rooms on the 3rd floor facing the rear courtyard or side alley offer a view of traditional Rhodian rooftops and maybe a sliver of the Acropolis of Rhodes if you crane your neck. Front-facing rooms see a busy town street.
Quietest floors
Floors 2–3 (the top floors) are quietest. The top floor has no overhead footfall, and being above street level cuts road noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos town has a lively bar and restaurant scene. The front street gets pedestrian chatter until midnight in summer. Occasional moped traffic. No industrial noise – the address is a residential-commercial mix.
Insider tips
1. Call ahead and ask if you can have a room on the 3rd floor with a rear courtyard view – they'll often oblige if you're polite. 2. Check-in after 2pm to avoid the queue; the single receptionist handles everything, so arrive early afternoon for smoother service.
- 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
