The Property — Hotel Ano Kampos
Hotel Ano Kampos sits on the quieter west coast of Rhodes, a short drive from the island’s medieval capital. The three-star property has a straightforward, functional feel: a small lobby with tiled floors, a reception desk with local maps, and a modest bar area. Its main draw is the beachfront location and the view across the Aegean, not frills or design. It suits travellers who want a clean, no-surprises base for exploring the island, and who prefer sunset-watching over nightlife.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes city was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and quickly became a major maritime power. Its Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was shaped by the Knights of St John during the 14th–16th centuries, who built formidable walls and the Palace of the Grand Master. Ottoman rule added mosques and minarets, while the early 20th-century Italian occupation left neoclassical public buildings. Today, the city remains a busy ferry port and tourist hub, balancing its layered past with modern cafes, shops and a lively cultural calendar.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
June and September – settled summer heat, sea temperatures comfortable for swimming, and crowds thinner than in peak July–August. April and October also work for sightseeing but sea swimming is cooler.
Peak / festival surge
July and August – Rhodes is packed with European holidaymakers, hotel prices peak and advance booking is essential. The Medieval Festival (usually late August/early September) draws extra visitors to the Old Town.
Budget shoulder season
May and late September – lower room rates, still plenty of sunshine, and the beaches and Old Town feel spacious. Perfect for a relaxed trip without the peak-season premium.
Weather & packing
Rhodes has a Mediterranean climate but can get a stiff seasonal wind (the meltemi) in July, especially on the west coast. Pack a light windbreaker or long-sleeved shirt for evenings, and always bring sun protection – the UV index is very high.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Rhodes has introduced a new 'smart parking' system in the Old Town perimeter – check your hotel for current entry points and fees, as some limited-traffic zones now trigger automatic fines.
- The coastal road between Ixia and the hotel area has been resurfaced; expect minor delays at roundabouts near the airport.
- Ferry schedules to Symi and other Dodecanese islands are running at full summer capacity – book day-trip tickets at least a day ahead.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Ano Kampos, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a rear-facing room on the first floor. At a 3-star hotel on a main road into Rhodes Town, back rooms cut street noise, and first floor avoids ground-floor footfall and lobby bustle without the limited lift access issues of higher floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street. These catch traffic noise from Rodos’s main routes, plus foot traffic and delivery sounds. Also skip top-floor rooms if the lift is small or slow, which is common at this rating.
Best views
A rear-facing first-floor room likely overlooks the inner courtyard or neighbouring buildings—not a selling point, but quieter. Front rooms face the busy Rodos road but get more light and city glimpse. No sea view at this address.
Quietest floors
First floor seems the quietest: above street-level noise, below any roof or terrace activity, and within easy lift/stair reach so less hall traffic.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Rodos’s main thoroughfare is the primary issue. Morning delivery trucks and late-night scooters are common. Internal noise from the small lift and stairwell may carry on higher floors.
Insider tips
1. Ask specifically for a back-facing room when booking—front rooms can be loud. 2. Use the lift only for luggage; stairs are quieter and often quicker in a compact 3-star hotel.
- 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
