The Property — litos rodes
Litos Rodes is a pared‑back three‑star in the old town, all whitewashed walls and simple timber furniture. Its courtyard feels like a quiet pocket away from the souvenir bustle, and the rooftop terrace gives you a direct view of the Palace of the Grand Master. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, central base rather than resort amenities.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC as a planned city on a grid system, soon becoming a maritime power. The medieval old town, a UNESCO site, was built by the Knights of Saint John from 1309 onward, with fortifications that still define the skyline. The street of the Knights and the Archaeological Museum preserve layers of Byzantine, Ottoman and Italian influence. Today the city balances a working port, a university campus and a tourist economy centred on its walled core.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May and September – weather is reliably warm (25–30°C) but the cruise‑ship crowds haven’t peaked, and hotel rates are about 20% lower than July.
Peak / festival surge
July and August – temperatures hit 35°C+ and the old town heaves with day‑trippers from cruise ferries. Hotel prices for a basic double in Litos Rodes average €120–€160 per night. The Sound and Light show at the Palace draws extra evening visitors.
Budget shoulder season
June and October – June still has long daylight and thin crowds; October sees 22°C days and sharp drops to off‑peak rates (€70–€90).
Weather & packing
In July a strong Meltemi wind can kick up dust and cool evenings suddenly. Pack a light wind‑breaker or pashmina even for midsummer, and bring solid walking sandals for cobbles that get scorching by midday.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to litos rodes, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper floors, ideally 4th or 5th, facing the inland side (away from the main street). These rooms get less traffic noise and have better air circulation.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the 1st floor directly above the lobby or restaurant — they pick up chair scraping, kitchen clatter, and early-morning breakfast prep. Also avoid rooms with windows facing the side alley where bins get emptied at dawn.
Best views
A rear-facing room with a balcony gives a partial inland view and morning sun. Front-facing rooms look onto the street and possibly the sea in the distance, but traffic noise outweighs the view.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5, provided they are not above the bar or restaurant. The building is a standard low-rise, so top floors benefit from being furthest from street-level activity.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a main road in Rodos town, so delivery trucks, motorbikes, and late-night pedestrian chatter are common. The ground-floor bar and lobby generate low-level hum until midnight. Ask for a room on the back side.
Insider tips
1) If you arrive by car, there is limited on-street parking; ask at check-in for the nearest public lot (often a 5-minute walk). 2) Request a room with a small fridge if one isn’t standard — useful for storing water and local yogurt.
- 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
