The Property — Saint George Resort
The Saint George Resort is a straightforward, mid-range hotel about 500 metres from Rhodes Old Town. Its lobby feels like a functional but friendly base: terracotta tiles, a small reception desk, and a bar area where guests grab a coffee before heading out. The USP is location—walkable to the medieval walls but quiet enough for a decent night's sleep. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, no-frills place to sleep rather than a resort experience.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks as a unified capital for the island’s three city-states. Its most famous structure—the Colossus of Rhodes—once stood here, though it collapsed in an earthquake in 226 BC. The medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was largely built by the Knights of St John during their 200-year rule from 1309. Today, the city blends Hellenistic ruins, Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques, and a lively tourist scene along its harbour. Contemporary Rhodes is a summer hub for history buffs, nightlife seekers, and package holidaymakers alike.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, and September offer reliably warm but not scorching weather (25–30°C) and manageable visitor numbers. The sea is warm enough for swimming, and Old Town streets aren’t packed solid.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak: temperatures often top 35°C, and the city heaves with cruise-ship crowds and northern European holidaymakers. Hotel prices double, and events like the Medieval Festival (late August) draw extra visitors. Book well ahead or pay a premium.
Budget shoulder season
Late April, early October, and November are the budget sweet spots. You’ll see discounts of 30–50% on summer rates, weather is still pleasant (20–25°C in October), and the main sights are far less busy.
Weather & packing
Rhodes in July is hot and dry, but the Meltemi wind can kick up sudden breezes, especially near the coast. Pack light layers, a sunhat, and a thin windbreaker—and always carry a reusable water bottle; tap water isn’t good to drink, so you’ll rely on shops for hydration.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The renovation of the Old Town’s Street of the Knights is underway; some sections are fenced off until late 2026, so check detour signs near the Palace of the Grand Master.
- A new direct ferry service from Rhodes to Symi started in May 2026, cutting travel time to 45 minutes—ideal for a day trip from the Saint George.
- The city council has introduced a small nightly tourist tax (€1.50 per person) on all hotel stays from June 2026; expect it to be added at check-in.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Saint George Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a top-floor room (floor 3 or 4, if available) facing the rear garden or pool – less street noise and more privacy. These floors get better light and tend to be quieter than the reception level.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or breakfast area – high foot traffic and early morning kitchen noise. Also skip rooms directly above the bar or restaurant if those exist on site.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear or side garden/pool area give the best outlook – green and calm. Front-facing rooms look onto Rodos street (likely a main road) with limited appeal.
Quietest floors
Top two floors (typically 3 and 4 in a 3-star block) offer the quietest experience, away from street-level and lobby bustle.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the main road in Rodos town centre can be noticeable on lower front-facing rooms. Mopeds and delivery traffic start early. Rear rooms are markedly quieter.
Insider tips
1) Check in early (around 14:00) to secure a top-floor room – they go first. 2) If you have a rental car, ask reception about free street parking or a nearby lot – Rodos town has paid zones, so a local tip saves cash.
- 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

Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants and hotels; contactless works almost everywhere, but some smaller kiosks and market stalls still prefer cash.
In restaurants, round up the bill or leave 5-10% if service was good; taxis appreciate rounding up to the nearest euro; hotel porters expect 2-3 euros per bag.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A freddo espresso or cappuccino at a local kafeneio costs about 2.50-3.50€.
A gyros pita from a souvlaki stand costs around 4-5€, with takeaway cheaper than sit-down.
A main course like moussaka or grilled fish at a taverna on a side street runs about 10-14€.
The Old Town's side lanes and the Mandraki harbour area have kiosks and souvlaki shops offering cheap eats.
Galaxias and AB Vasilopoulos are common budget supermarkets stocked with basics and local products.
The market streets in the New Town (off Ethnikis Antistaseos) have high-street chain stores and local boutiques with affordable prices; tourist shops in the Old Town are pricier.
Local buses cost around 1.20-2.00€ per journey; a day pass on the city bus network is about 5€. From the airport, take bus 23 (2.50€) rather than a taxi (30-40€).
Eat away from the waterfront and main squares for better prices; buy water and snacks at supermarkets, not tourist kiosks; visit free beaches like Agios Stefanos or Kalithea Springs (entry fee only for the springs).
