The Property — Ibiscus Studios
Ibiscus Studios is a straightforward, family-run set of self-catering apartments in the quieter part of Rhodes Town. The lobby feels like a modest, clean reception area with a helpful owner who knows the island well. It suits budget-conscious travellers and small groups who prefer a kitchenette and space over hotel frills, and who plan to spend most of their time out exploring.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greek city-states of Lindos, Ialysos and Kamiros, built on a grid plan by the architect Hippodamus. After centuries under Byzantine, Knights Hospitaller and Ottoman rule, the Old Town became a UNESCO World Heritage site, famed for its medieval fortifications and the Street of the Knights. Under Italian administration in the early 20th century, the New Town gained neoclassical buildings and wide boulevards. Today it blends a living history with a busy tourist port, and its residents maintain a strong sense of local identity alongside the holiday trade.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September offer warm sunshine without the intense heat of July and August, and far fewer cruise-ship crowds.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak season: temperatures regularly hit 30°C+ and the town is packed with tourists. Hotel prices double or more from shoulder rates. Events are minimal locally, but the volume of flights and ferries drives it.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are excellent shoulder months: temperatures are mild (18–25°C), accommodation is often 30–50% cheaper, and you can see the Old Town without queuing.
Weather & packing
Rhodes is one of Greece’s sunniest islands with over 300 sunny days a year, but a sudden meltemi wind can whip up. Pack a light windbreaker and always carry sunscreen and a refillable water bottle.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ibiscus Studios, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (3rd floor and above) for a quieter stay, as the hotel is situated on a busy street in Rodos. The higher floors will help minimize the noise from the street traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the first floor may experience more noise from the service entrance and potential street noise, so it's best to avoid them.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address of the hotel does not provide any information about the orientation or view options. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a partial view of the surrounding area.
Quietest floors
2nd floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's location on a main street in Rodos means that there may be some street noise, especially during peak hours. The hotel's layout, with a lift connecting the floors, may also contribute to some background noise.
Insider tips
When checking in, ask the staff about the best room options based on your preferences, as they may have insight into which rooms are quieter or have better views. Consider requesting a room with a concrete floor, as the 3-star rating suggests that the hotel may have some older rooms with more comfortable flooring.
- 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
