The Property — Camelot
Camelot is a no-frills 3-star in Rhodes Town, a 10-minute walk from the beach and 15 from the old town. The lobby feels like a budget chain lounge: functional, clean, with a small bar and breakfast area. It suits cost-conscious travellers who plan to be out all day and just need a good night's sleep. The USP is location for the price point.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and later fortified by the Knights of St John in the 14th century, creating the UNESCO-listed Old Town. The city's architecture layers Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman influences. Contemporary Rhodes is a tourist hub, balancing cruise-ship crowds with quiet backstreets and a lively cafe culture along the New Town waterfront.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, September: warm days (25-30°C), low humidity, minimal rain, and manageable crowds before the July-August peak.
Peak / festival surge
July and August: temperatures hit 30-35°C, beaches and Old Town lanes packed. Hotel prices often double from June prices. The Medieval Festival in late June (knights' shows) boosts early July rates.
Budget shoulder season
Late April and October: temperatures 20-25°C, still pleasant for sightseeing. Prices drop 30-40% from peak. Fewer crowds, especially outside cruise days.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes is intensely sunny with dry heat, but a meltemi breeze can make evenings cool. Pack light linen or cotton clothes, a sun hat, and a light jacket or pashmina for dinner outdoors.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- A new pedestrianised zone in the Old Town's Sokratous Street (completed 2025) reduces traffic noise near Camelot, making it quieter than before.
- The 2026 reconstruction of the Mandraki marina's east pier is still ongoing; some harbour walks are partially closed, but boat trips to Lindos run as usual.
- Several beach bars in the New Town, including the popular Esperos, have new sunbed reservation rules for July (beach staff enforce 2-hour slots).
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Camelot, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor, facing the rear courtyard (not the street). These floors are high enough to reduce pavement noise but still within the lift's reach, and the courtyard side avoids the main road racket.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and any room facing Themistokleous Street directly. This is a busy road in central Rodos, so ground level gets traffic noise plus footfall from the pavement, and rooms with street-facing windows will pick up scooter and delivery traffic from early morning.
Best views
Best view is from a rear-facing room on the 4th floor — you'll likely see the neighbouring rooftops and maybe a sliver of the old town walls, but no direct sea view from here; the address is a block inland.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are the quietest — above street hubbub, below any rooftop bar (if present), and served by the hotel lift.
🔊 Noise notes
Themistokleous runs parallel to the main shopping street (Papanikolaou), so you'll get morning café deliveries, daytime traffic, and evening revellers walking back to the old town. There's also a kebab shop within 50m, which brings late-night chatter. Lift noise is noticeable on floors 2 and below.
Insider tips
Check in after 3pm — the lobby is narrow and can get chaotic with luggage. If you come by car, street parking is tight; ask the hotel for the nearest public car park (there's one on Akti Kanari, 5 minutes walk). Request a room with a balcony facing the courtyard: it's worth the upgrade for a place to sit out without road noise.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATM machines in Rodos town for best rates; avoid exchange bureaus at the airport or tourist strips where spreads are poor.
Visa and Mastercard widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops; smaller cafes, bakeries, and market stalls may prefer cash.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% at restaurants is common if service was good; taxis appreciate rounding up; no need to tip hotel staff but a couple of euros for housekeeping is polite.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek coffee (café frappé or espresso) at a local kafeneio is about €2.50.
A gyros pita from a takeaway spot is around €3.50-€4.00.
A main course at a taverna (e.g. moussaka or grilled fish) costs €10-€14.
The area around the old town and Mandraki harbour has clusters of souvlaki and gyros shops; prices are lower a block off the main tourist drag.
Common budget supermarkets include Lidl and AB Vassilopoulos; there is a Lidl on the road towards Ialyssos.
For affordable clothing, head to the main shopping street (Papagou or Ethnikis Antistaseos) or the Monday market near the town hall.
Local bus rides in the town cost €1.20 per trip; from the airport, take public bus line 7 into Rodos town for about €3.00 (taxis are €25-30).
Buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than kiosks or hotel minibars. Eat main meals at lunch when tavernas often offer set menus. Walk or cycle around the old town rather than taking taxis for short hops.
