We were staying in Symi for a week and wanted to stay somewhere with charm and character in the old town of Rhodes before flying home, so I booked a room the day before arrival. Staying at this hotel was a tremendous spontaneous end to our week. What a gorgeous place, and such a warm welcome from the proprietor. The room was wonderfully furnished in traditional style, extremely comfortable bed, with drapes and cushions everywhere in exuberant colours, all evoking the atmosphere of old arabian nights....this is a seriously romantic hideaway.
We had our own private terrace, again with cushions to lounge around on with a good book. The breakfast (included) was plentiful and delicious, not just the usual continental style but thoughtfully prepared and presented, with eggs bacon, breads, home made cakes etc.
We had an absolutely fantastic time here, and wished it was for longer. If you prefer a more 'boutique' style of hotel rather than the characterless chains along the coastline, then this is definitely worth a look. It's excellent value and we certainly wouldn't consider staying anywhere else next time we are in Rhodes.
