Just got back from a 10 day holiday in Rhodes.

The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast consists of rolls, cooked meats, cheese, cereals, bacon, beans and cake. There are hot drinks and fruit juice as well.

Rooms are cleaned every day.

I was out every day so didn't make use of the pool or eat any other meals there but as a base for my holiday I couldn't fault the hotel.

Good clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is very much geared towards Dutch, German and Scandinavian holidaymakers. When we were there were very few British. Breakfast is continental style. Because the hotel sits on the west coast of the island there is a permanent wind, (I won't say breeze because some days it was gale force). But this is a good thing because I know we couldn't have stood the temperatures at this time of the year without this. The only thing about the hotel is that it is situated on a main road which can be quite noisy. (Take earplugs with you, it helps). We had a seaview which, even though it faced onto the main road, was lovely, as we could watch the sunset over Turkey every night.
Next door to the hotel is the Belvedere Hotel where we had a couple of buffet dinners which were nice. This cost 10 euros each and the tickets can be bought at the reception desk of Rhodes Beach. Well worth it. The bars, restaurants and shops are within walking distance, just turn right when you come out of the hotel and keep walking. There are plenty of taxis to take you to the harbour area and the Old Town if you don't want to walk.
We had a great time there and would recommend this hotel.

This was our first visit to Rhodes and we stayed in Rhodes Town as it has lots of culture and history but can also double as a beach holiday with great places to eat.
We chose a hotel based on budget (usually middle of the road) and location. My personal favourite is a balcony with a great view. The Rhodos Beach Hotel satisfied everything. This is not a hotel if you are looking for luxury: although a 3* I would personally say a 2*+ but that said the staff were brilliant - nothing is too much trouble for them. And they are very friendly. Magda at Reception greeted us on arrival and gave us all the information we needed. I had e-mailed prior to our arrival and it was answered very prompted by management. I had asked for air-con, a kettle and a safe in room and it had all been arranged. Air con is an extra 6 euros per day outside of July and August. The safe is a must and you are given your own key. The kettle for us is also a must and you are also provided with mugs and tea spoons.

I would recommend a sea-view. In our view (no pun intended) is a must. The hotels on the west side of Rhodes Town have the most fantasic view of the sun setting behind the Turkish mountains. We would come back from the beach, have a shower, settle with a drink and enjoy the sunset before venturing out for dinner. Perfect.

The rooms are basic but we had a large built-in wardrobe, 2 chairs, a table and shelves so it was fine. The rooms are pleasantly decorated in blue and white and were kept very clean. The balconies are a good size with a table and chairs and a line for drying clothes if needed. Rooms are cleaned everyday.

The hotel has internet access at a charge - you can buy cards at Reception. There is an informal book exchange which was handy. The breakfast was very good with lots of choice. Although we were only on a B&B basis we did go to the Belvedere next door for dinner once which is buffet style (if you are not half board you can buy a dinner voucher at Reception for 10 euros) and we were very impressed - staff were good and food good value for price. The bar in the Belvedere is also nice but so is the Rhodos Beach with Antonis the bar man being a very good host.

We didn't use the pool at either hotel as we are beach people but both looked fine with the Belvedere being the largest and not subject to any shade in the afternoon. Both looked very clean.

One great bonus is having a proper sized fridge in your room - a must in the heat and to keep your milk, water, ouzo, beer and wine chilled!!!!

The location is perfect. literatly a minute to the beach across the road, there is a hotel supermarket which had everything we needed, 10/12 mins walk to Old Town and Harbour or 10/12 mins walk to the main town beach, Elli Beach. Personally we prefered the hotel beach as it was less crowded and there was more breeze. All beaches however are very well organised with on beach snack shops which are not particularly expensive. We went to Elli beach for one day but it was too packed for us with no breeze so was too hot for us. Swimming is however better at Elli as the sea is calmer. All beaches are shingly but a good amount of sand as well.

The West side of the town is the windier, with some days windier than others but to be honest it was a welcome relief from the heat. We went on 23rd June until 7th July and we could feel the temperature rising towards the end. I don't think we could have coped with it any hotter.

One thing I was pleased about was that there didn't seem to be any flies or wasps around. I had a bite or two but nothing much.

Rhodes Town itself is gorgeous - in two weeks we still didn't get to see everyting. There is so much history although much of the town has given way to shops, restaurants, bars etc there is still something for everyone. Try to go to the backstreets where you will find more peace and great tavernas. We would recommend Romios for a very sophisticated atmostphere but very competitively priced with great choice. Yiannis for a traditional taverna feel - very reasonable and Marco Polo for an Italian experience - beautiful.

A must is to see Lindos by boat but shop around - check out how long you are actually in Lindos for. When you get there I would recommend a donkey taxi to take you up to the Acropolis or the small village. We also had a day trip to Marmaris but don't expect character there - it has only existed since the mid-eighties but we had an organised day where we visited some places so we were glad we went.

In Rhodes Town you must do the little train ride which you can get from near the bus station. It takes about 45 minutes and gives you a good tour of the town and surrounding area.

Overall we had a great holiday and would certainly stay again, and at the Rhodoes Beach - it makes a great base. Do contact me if there is anything else you want to know or any advice on Rhodes Town.

Arrived at the rodus beach hotel on 23rd june 10, warmly welcomed at reception by a young lady named' Magda'. From then on, we were treated with great courtsey, respect and kindness throughout our stay. our sea view room(213) was comfortable and had great views out to sea. The snack bar and bar area was more than adequate for our needs and all the reception staff was very very good. Our room was cleaned every day and our sheets were changed twice a week. We missed the tea making facility of other holidays but we cured that by getting cold drinks in our room fridge.
