The Property — Sea View
Old-school 3-star in the heart of Rhodes Town, a short stagger from the beach and the medieval walls. The lobby feels like 1980s Greece: terrazzo floors, a tidy bar, and framed photos of the old town. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a central base with reliable air conditioning and a sea view from the upper floors, but don't expect luxury or character beyond the location.
Chronicles of Rodos
Rhodes Town was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and quickly became a major maritime power. The Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders, once stood at the harbour entrance. The Knights of St John rebuilt the city from the 14th century, leaving a walled Old Town that is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, the city blends Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques, and a lively tourist quayside, with a distinct café culture in the narrow alleys.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rodos guide →Best months
May, June, September – warm and sunny, sea swimmable, crowds thinner than July-August.
Peak / festival surge
July-August is peak; hotels charge 30-50% more than May. The Rhodes International Festival and sailing regattas fill the harbour; the Old Town can be gridlocked with day-trippers.
Budget shoulder season
September-October and April-May – rates drop 20-30%, beaches quieter, still 25-28°C daytime.
Weather & packing
July in Rhodes is hot (average 30°C) with frequent meltemi winds gusting in the afternoon. Pack a windproof layer for the ferry, and always carry sunscreen and a reusable water bottle; the sun is fierce even at 5pm.
Live City Briefing — Rodos
- The Old Town's main pedestrian street, Sokratous, is undergoing resurfacing until September – expect diversions and some shop closures.
- New direct flights from London Gatwick start June 2026, operated by Jet2, increasing July capacity.
- Rhodes water supply remains stable, but a desalination plant upgrade in summer 2025 may cause occasional low pressure in the new town – carry bottled water for peace of mind.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sea View, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the sea. These floors give you a clear view over rooftops without being too high to climb when the lift is busy. If the lift is small or slow (typical for a 3-star), this is the sweet spot.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street — Rodos town traffic can be constant, especially on the main road. Also avoid rooms directly above or next to the lift shaft; the clanking sound carries.
Best views
Sea-facing rooms on floors 2 and above. The address just says 'Rodos', so assume the front side overlooks the harbour or coastline — not a beach, but a working port with ferries and fishing boats.
Quietest floors
2nd to 4th floors, back side of the building (away from the road) for least noise. The upper floors get less street rumble.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road runs along the front. Expect morning delivery trucks and late-night moped traffic. The back of the hotel (courtyard or side street) will be quieter but may have no view.
Insider tips
1. Check if the hotel provides earplugs at reception — common in 3-star Rodos hotels near the port. 2. If you want a quiet room, request a back-facing room on floor 2 or 3 even if it means losing the sea view — the trade-off is worth it for sleep.
- 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

Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% is appreciated in restaurants; for taxis, rounding up to the nearest euro is fine; hotel staff may expect a euro or two for good service.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A Greek frappe or iced cappuccino at a local cafe costs about €3-4.
A gyros pita from a takeaway stand is around €4-5.
A main course at a modest taverna (e.g., moussaka or grilled fish) is about €10-15.
Gyros, souvlaki, and spanakopita are cheap and widely available from casual eateries and stalls along the main streets in Rodos Town.
Supermarket chains like Lidl and AB Vassilopoulos are common for budget groceries.
For affordable shopping, head to the market streets in the Old Town or the chain stores along the main shopping avenues in Rodos Town.
Local buses cost about €1.20-2 per journey; a day pass is around €5. From the airport, the cheapest way is the bus to Rodos Town (about €2.50).
Eat at tavernas away from the main tourist squares; buy snacks and water from supermarkets rather than kiosks; visit free attractions like the Old Town walls and beaches.
