The Property — Konstantinos
The Hotel Konstantinos is a no-fuss, family-run three-star perched on a quiet residential street half a kilometre from Rhodes Town’s medieval walls. The lobby is small, bright and tiled, with a reception desk that doubles as the bar counter and a noticeboard listing walking tours and ferry times. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, safe base with a small pool and a simple breakfast on the terrace, rather than resort polish.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the city-states of Ialysos, Kamiros and Lindos, and soon became a maritime power. Its architectural highlight is the UNESCO-listed Old Town, built by the Knights of St John in the 14th century with cobbled streets, moats and the Palace of the Grand Master. After Ottoman and Italian rule, the city became a major Mediterranean tourist destination while retaining its Byzantine and Crusader layers. Today its identity blends medieval tourism, beach resort life and a year-round local community of about 50,000 people.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September offer warm days (25–30°C), low humidity, sea swims and far fewer crowds than July–August.
Peak / festival surge
July–August are the hottest and busiest months, with average highs of 32°C and thousands of sunseekers. Hotel prices double or triple, driven by school holidays and the Rhodes Festival of Ancient Drama (July) and Sound & Light show in the Old Town.
Budget shoulder season
Late September to October and mid-April to early May provide discounts of 30–50%, still comfortable 22–26°C weather, and nearly empty beaches and sights.
Weather & packing
Rhodes is buffeted by the meltemi wind from the north in July, which can make afternoons feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. Pack a light windbreaker or long-sleeve for evenings, and always bring high-SPF sunscreen and a reusable water bottle.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Konstantinos, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the inner courtyard. These offer the best balance of quiet and natural light, as they're high enough to avoid street-level noise but low enough for stable lift access.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms directly above the reception or dining area (typically ground-floor front) – they can catch early morning kitchen clatter and lobby chatter. Also avoid rooms adjacent to the lift shaft on any floor, as the mechanism is audible.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on floors 2 to 4 look out onto Rodos town's street life – standard 3-star view. Back-facing rooms overlook a typical urban courtyard or adjacent building, less interesting but quieter.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest – above ground-floor bustle but below the roof terrace or any potential rooftop plant noise.
🔊 Noise notes
As a 3-star hotel on a Rodos town street, expect morning delivery trucks and evening pedestrian noise. The lift is a mild source of vibration on adjacent walls, especially during breakfast and check-out times.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, call ahead to confirm local parking – street parking is tight. 2. Request a room on the courtyard side if you are a light sleeper – the street-facing rooms trade view for noise, so it's a genuine choice.
- 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
