The Property — M&B HOUSE
M&B House is a straightforward, family-run three-star in Rhodes Town’s New Town, a short walk from the beach and the medieval walls. The lobby feels like an upgraded guesthouse: clean tile floors, a small reception desk, and a breakfast room that doubles as a common area. It suits budget-minded travellers who want a bed within walking distance of the old city and don’t need frills. The USP is location – you’re minutes from Elli Beach and the casino – but don’t expect character or luxury.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greek city-states of Ialyssos, Kamiros, and Lindos, built on a grid plan by Hippodamus. It became a major Hellenistic port and home to the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, erected between 292 and 280 BC. The Knights Hospitaller conquered the island in 1309 and transformed the town into a fortified medieval city, adding the Palace of the Grand Master and the Street of the Knights. Under Ottoman rule from 1522, minarets and mosques were added to the skyline, and the 20th-century Italian occupation restored much of the medieval fabric. Today, Rhodes Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a living museum of layered architecture, with a lively tourist economy and a strong Greek identity in its tavernas and Orthodox churches.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May and June for strong sunshine and low humidity, plus manageable crowds before the European school holidays. September offers the same warm sea temperatures but fewer tourists and lower prices.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak season: temperatures average 30°C, the old town is rammed, and prices for a three-star like M&B House hit €100–150 per night. The main driver is European summer holidaymakers, plus the Rhodes Medieval Festival in late August/early September.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the sweet spots: 20–25°C days, room rates 30–50% lower, and most archaeological sites open without queues. The sea is cool but swimmable in October.
Weather & packing
Rhodes gets a strong, dry meltemi wind in July and August, which can feel like a hairdryer in the afternoon. Pack a light scarf or buff to cover your mouth and nose if you’re sensitive to dust, and always bring a swimsuit for the Aegean – the sea stays warm until November.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Old Town’s main pedestrian entrance at Eleftherias Gate is partially scaffolded for masonry repairs in 2026 – expect slight crowds at the side entrances (D’Amboise Gate or Marine Gate).
- New direct charter flights from several UK regional airports started in May 2026, so the island is easier to reach than last year – book airport transfers early.
- The annual Rhodes International Film Festival (late June to early July) brings film screenings to the Municipal Theatre and open-air cinemas, adding evening cultural options in town.
