Alexia hotel is located near the beach(2minutes), just 10 minutes walk from old town and harbor in Rodos town and actually at the end of Orfanidou street which is better known as a bar street. So if you don't mind loud evenings (though when you close the windows,you are able to get some rest) and you are not spending your holidays seating all day long in the room,it is a good place, taking into account that it is not so expensive. It will be appreciated by young travelers, without kids, who are not looking for luxury, but well located,decent place. I had a room on 5th floor with sea view,cleaned everyday,really can not say bad word about it. Oh, and staff (reception,housekeepers) was friendly and helpful too.

Worst hotel ever,Shabby rooms 60's style ,Insepid food for Breakfast,Vouchers for cafe for evening meal,No choice creme caramel for dessert every night,Olympic rep couldnt care less,swimming pool in hotel next door,Noisy night club in front of hotel till 5am, then they emptied bottles into a skip.Showers made you feel dirtier when you came out. wouldnt give it a one star rating, and we dont rate Olympic at all.

My friend and I spent 10 days there in August 2011. At first, we got some small room on the ground level behind the reception desk and those rooms are terrible! Small, dirty and very old. As we were told, due to some overbooking, they could move us the following day, which they did, and we had a standard room on the 6th floor with a sea view. That one was OK for an older 3-star hotel. Since the hotel in on the windy side, at night you can hear the wind from the hall and in the room since the doors and the windows are very very outdated. I also need to say that the staff is friendly.
Breakfast is very basic, and if you have dinner then you eat it at a near-by restaurant and that was very good since you can choose anything from the menu worth 8 EUR.
Since the Bar Street is very close, expect the noise all night. The beach in front of a hotel is fine if there is no wind (there are days when the wind is very strong and days when it is just a breeze)....and the Elli beach is 10-15min walk away.
Rhodes is wonderful, but choose a better 3-star hotel!

The service was reasonably good for the price, the reception staff are all English-speaking and friendly. Lock boxes are available for 15 euros per week, located at the basement floor. A free Wi-Fi Internet access is available in the hotel's lobby. When I stayed there, there were some Swedes, Frenchmen, Germans, Italians - the hotel is quite international. I didn't see any families with children.

The room was clean and quite spacious, and the sound-proofing is quite ok, so I slept well :). Air-conditioning in the room is charged extra, but it is better to pay for it, because it's quite hot event at night. A teapot, some kitchen utensils, 2 kitchen burns and a fridge are really helpful if you stay for a long time and would like to cook yourself.

The buffet breakfast is served from 7 to 10 a.m. at the hotel's restaurant and is really rich: eggs, sausages, ham and cheese, salads and olives, different kinds of bread, 2 kinds of cereals, milk and cottage cheese, cakes and cookies, jam, honey, Nutella, fruits, juice, tea and coffee - you won't be disappointed! The restaurant itself is inside, but there are also 4 tables on the veranda, so if you wake up early, you could be the first to take one of them :). There is also a little bar where you can order a drink and some snacks.

The hotel location was the main criterion for me while choosing the hotel. Alexia is situated in the Rhodes town itself in just 2 minutes from the beach (the Aegean sea, and if you walk other 5 minutes, you are already on the Mediterranean!) and in 15 minutes walk from the Old Town. There is a bus stop nearby, all sorts of restaurants, bars, supermarkets and souvenir shops. Alexia doesn't have its own swimming-pool, but the guests are welcome to use that of the hotel nearby (I haven't been there, preferring the sea, so can't say anything about it).

The only thing that could be a minus is that Alexia is located at the end of a bar street where people go partying till early in the morning. You'd better ask the staff (which I did) to have a room on a calm side, and you won't be bothered. I can't speak about the side closer to the bars, but I think you could hear the music from the bars there.

On the whole, I appreciated the quality-price ratio of the hotel, its location and the friendly staff. Don't have any particular claims: it is no big luxury, but it is clean and nice. I would probably stay there if I come to Rhodes again.
