The Property — Mimosa suites
Mimosa Suites in downtown Rhodes Town feels like a calm, clean base for savvy travellers who'd rather spend on ouzo than on frills. The lobby is small, tiled and functional – a passport to a quiet room with a balcony overlooking the street or courtyard. It's a practical three-star where the main draw isn't the hotel itself but its location a short walk from the Old Town's gates. Best for couples or solo explorers who value sleep and location over resort-style pools.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a planned city with a grid layout. Its medieval heyday came under the Knights of St John, who built the formidable fortifications and Palace of the Grand Master that still dominate the skyline. Ottoman and Italian rule added mosques and neoclassical buildings, creating a layered urban fabric now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, the town balances a busy cruise-ship port with a lively café culture, where Byzantine alleys lead to modern seaside promenades.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June and September: warm enough for the beach, but the Old Town and beaches are not yet packed. July can be scorching and crowded.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, driven by European school holidays and direct charter flights. Hotel prices at Mimosa Suites double in peak season; the town's medieval streets swell with day-trippers from cruise ships. The annual Medieval Rose Festival in late June/early July adds extra buzz.
Budget shoulder season
Late April, early May and October offer 20-25°C days, lower room rates (often 30-40% below peak), and emptier streets. The sea is still warm in October.
Weather & packing
Rhodes gets strong, dry meltemi winds in July, which can stir up dust and make afternoons feel hotter. Pack a light scarf or buff for dust, plus a reusable water bottle – tap water is safe but many prefer bottled.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- Rhodes Town's main bus depot (near the New Market) has been renovated with digital timetables and a new waiting area, easing connections to Lindos and the west coast beaches.
- The historic street of Sokratous is undergoing a pedestrianisation trial until September 2026, which may cause short diversions for drivers but makes the shopping strip far more pleasant to walk.
- Summer 2026 sees extended evening hours for the Palace of the Grand Master (open until 9pm Wed–Mon), helping visitors dodge the midday heat.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Mimosa suites, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the rear of the building (courtyard side). These upper floors are quieter, with less street noise from Griva Street, and the lift serves all floors so no stairs hassle.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor facing the street—expect traffic noise and footfall from Griva Street, a main road in central Rodos. Also steer clear of rooms near the lift shaft (likely adjacent to the lobby area, floors 1–2) due to comings and goings.
Best views
No significant view from this 3-star on a street-level site. A rear-facing room gives a courtyard/neighbourhood view (residential backstreets), not the sea or acropolis. The front looks onto Griva Street and parked cars.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors. These are high enough to reduce street-level sound, but low enough to be well-served by the lift if needed.
🔊 Noise notes
Griva Street is a main thoroughfare in Rodos town, with traffic (mopeds, buses) from early morning until late evening. Street-level rooms will pick up this noise. The on-site parking (€10/night) adds some vehicle movement at the entrance, but not majorly disruptive.
Insider tips
1. Save €5 per night by using the public car park 100m away (cash only), and walk it—saves walking through the hotel driveway. 2. At check-in, explicitly ask for a 'courtyard-side room, high floor'—the reception has control over those quieter assignments.
- 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
