The Property — Ixia Breeze 3
Ixia Breeze 3 is a no-nonsense, three-star hotel on the main coastal road west of Rhodes Town. The lobby feels like a functional transit space — tiled floors, a small reception desk, and a staircase leading up to the rooms. Its USP is the price and the rooftop terrace with sea views, but don’t expect any boutique touches. It suits budget-conscious travellers who plan to spend most of their time exploring the island rather than lounging by the pool.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and quickly became a major maritime power, home to the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built by the Knights Hospitaller from 1309 to 1522, with its Palace of the Grand Master and cobbled streets surviving largely intact. Ottoman rule followed for nearly four centuries, leaving mosques and minarets that still mark the skyline. Modern Rhodes Town is a blend of these layers: Byzantine churches, Venetian palazzos, and a lively tourist strip along the New Town’s Mandraki harbour. Culturally, it’s a crossroads where Greek, Italian and Turkish influences meet in the food, architecture and daily street life.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September — sunny, 25-30°C, sea warm enough for swimming, and crowds are manageable before the July-August peak.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, with temperatures often hitting 35°C and charter flights filling the island. Hotel prices at Ixia Breeze 3 typically double from June levels. Events include the Rhodes International Festival in August, but most visitors come for beaches and nightlife.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the budget-friendly shoulders: airfares 40% cheaper, daytime temps around 22-26°C, quieter streets, and most tourist facilities still operating.
Weather & packing
The Meltemi wind blows from the north from June to September, cooling the Ixia coast in the afternoons but whipping up dust. Pack a light windproof jacket and secure sun hat; a sarong or thin blanket is useful for covering skin from the sun on the open-top bus to Lindos.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Rhodes Old Town’s ancient Street of the Knights is currently undergoing repaving works until October 2026, with some sections cordoned off — wear sturdy shoes and expect detours.
- The new seasonal ferry route from Rhodes Town to Marmaris, Turkey, started in May 2026 with three weekly departures; advance booking is essential as day trips are popular.
- Due to extreme heat warnings in July 2025, several hotels in Ixia have installed cooling misters on terraces and lobby areas — check if your room has air conditioning, as old units are unreliable.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ixia Breeze 3, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a middle floor (2nd or 3rd) facing the rear courtyard or side street. These are quieter and have better airflow from the sea breeze, given the hotel's address on a main road in Rodos town.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms – likely to catch street-level noise from passing traffic and the reception area. Also avoid rooms directly overlooking the front street (Rodos main road) as it carries bus and scooter noise from early morning.
Best views
Request a side-facing room (west or north) for a view of the pool or neighbouring gardens. The front-facing rooms look onto the Rodos road, which is busy and not scenic.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the calmest – well above street hubbub and below any roof-level plant noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Rodos road is a main artery into town, so traffic noise peaks from 7–10am and 5–8pm. Scooters and mopeds are the main culprits. The hotel's bar or restaurant (if open) may add low chatter until 11pm.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a quiet room at booking, then call 24 hours before arrival to confirm – the reception can sometimes shift you to a better position. 2. If you're on a motorcycle trip, request ground-floor or basement parking access (some 3-star hotels here offer covered parking but you must request it).
- 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
