Why These Hotels Made Our List
Here's why each one made the cut.
Rhodos Horizon City
The 4.8 from 829 guests doesn't lie. This city-center property puts you 10 minutes walk from Rhodes Old Town without the tourist markup. At $116 it's solid value for a four-star. Rooms are newer than most in this price range. Book it before the summer crowds drive prices up.

Canvas by Mitsis Petit Palais
Over 4,500 reviews at 4.7 is hard to argue with. Mitsis runs a tight operation and this property sits right on Ixia Beach, one of Rhodes' better swimming spots. At $97 you're getting four-star quality at three-star prices. It's the obvious pick if you want reliable rather than exciting.

Elysium Resort & Spa | 5 star hotel in Rhodes
Worth every cent of the $199. Clifftop position above Ixia Bay means killer views without the beach noise below. The spa is legit, not just a hotel afterthought. At 4.7 from 2,183 guests, this is the rare five-star that actually delivers. Don't skip the infinity pool at sunset.

Mitsis La Vita
The best value four-star on this list. $88 for a Mitsis property with a 4.6 score from 2,391 guests is genuinely hard to beat. It's in Ixia, about 5km from Rhodes town, so you'll want a rental car or taxi. The beach and pools make the slight distance irrelevant.

Hotel Attiki Rhodes
Technically rated one star, but guests give it 4.7. That gap tells you everything: clean, honest, well-run budget accommodation in Rhodes town center. You're not getting a spa, but you're paying $81 and walking to medieval walls in five minutes. Skip the frills, keep the cash for food.

Olympic Palace Resort Hotel & Convention Center Rhodes Greece
Big resort energy: convention center, multiple pools, the works. At $142 it's the priciest five-star here but doesn't quite hit five-star scores (4.5 from 2,239). Fine for groups who want everything on-site. The Ixia location means you need transport for Rhodes Old Town, about 6km away.

Amus Hotel & Spa
The 4.4 from 2,210 guests suggests hit-or-miss service, unusual for a five-star. The spa is the main draw and it's genuinely good. At $129 you're paying five-star rates for four-star consistency. Great if you're spa-focused. Skip it if flawless hotel service matters more than treatments.

Dionysos Hotel
Solid, not spectacular. The 4.4 from 1,821 guests means most people leave happy but don't expect to be wowed. At $96 for a four-star it's fair value. Location near Faliraki puts you close to the island's most popular beach strip, ideal if nightlife matters more than Old Town proximity.

Nafsika Hotel
The sleeper pick on this list. Two-star rating, 4.5 guest score, $56 per night. You're in Rhodes town itself, walking to the Old Town in under 15 minutes. It's basic: no pool, no spa. But the price-to-location ratio is unbeatable if you plan to actually explore rather than resort.

Island Sea Side Hotel
Budget beachside without the budget headaches. At $65 with a 4.4 score you're not settling. Fewer than 250 reviews means it's still under the radar. The sea-facing position on Faliraki Bay makes mornings genuinely good. Just note it's 15km from Rhodes Old Town, so day trips need planning.

Where to Stay in Rhodes
The neighborhood you pick matters more than the hotel.
Rhodes Old Town: where to stay and what to skip
The Old Town is genuinely one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities. But staying inside the walls is a gamble. The Street of the Knights and Ippoton Street look stunning in photos, and the narrow alleys off Socrates Street are full of good tavernas. The problem is noise bounces off those walls all night in summer.
Our honest advice: stay just outside the walls, near the Municipal Gardens or along Papagou Street, and walk in. You get the atmosphere without the 2am echo chamber. Electra Palace earns its Best Location badge for exactly this reason. inside the Old Town but positioned near the quieter south end, not the main tourist drag.
The east coast vs. west coast: which side to pick
East coast wins. Calmer seas, better beaches, more consistent sunbathing. Tsambika Beach near Kolymbia and Lindos Bay near Lardos are the showpieces. The west coast from Ixia to Trianda is windier, which is great for kitesurfers at Prasonisi but annoying for everyone else.
That said, Ixia is only 4km from Rhodes Town and Atrium Platinum makes it work with a sheltered pool setup. Blue Horizon in Trianda faces the same wind issue but prices the trade-off fairly at $120-180/night. Just know what you're getting.
Budget travel in Rhodes: where the value actually is
Spot Hotel Rhodes in the New Town is the best budget base on the island at $55-85/night. You're near Elli Beach and 10 minutes walk from the Old Town entrance at the Liberty Gate. The New Town gets unfairly dismissed. Amerikis Street and the area around Mandraki Harbour have better everyday eating than most tourist zones.
One thing we've seen people get wrong: booking the cheapest Old Town option to save money. You end up in a cave-like room paying more than you would at Spot Hotel. The New Town budget option almost always beats the Old Town budget option on livability.
Lindos: the most photogenic village in the Aegean
Lindos deserves more than a day trip. The whitewashed village below the Acropolis, the Saint Paul's Bay beach below the cliff, the donkey path up to the ruins at golden hour. These things are better when you're not racing back to a bus at 4pm. The village has roughly 1,000 residents, and most of the crowd leaves by early evening.
Siravast Hotel inside the village and Capo di Grecia on the cliff above are your two real options. Capo di Grecia at $320-520/night is the most dramatic hotel on the island. Siravast at $140-200/night gives you the village intimacy without the altitude. Both require you to park outside the village. no cars enter Lindos itself.
Family holidays in Rhodes: what actually works
Kolymbia is underrated for families. It's quieter than Faliraki, the beach is cleaner, and Tsambika Beach is 3km north. Lydia Maris Resort sits right on Kolymbia Beach and the all-in family setup means you're not scrambling for restaurants with a tired 7-year-old every night.
Faliraki works too if you pick Hotel Anastasia in Central Faliraki, away from the Bar Street end. The main Faliraki Beach is wide and well-organized with shallow entry. Rhodes Town itself is surprisingly good with kids. the Old Town feels like a giant castle, and kids respond to that. Just pack comfortable shoes for the cobblestones.
Luxury in Rhodes: what $300+/night actually gets you
Lindian Village in Lardos Bay and Capo di Grecia in Lindos are the two properties where the price is genuinely justified, not just a function of demand. Lindian Village at $280-450/night delivers a full beach resort experience on Lardos Bay with design quality that rivals anything in the Cyclades. Capo di Grecia at $320-520/night is a different kind of experience. intimate, clifftop, with views straight down to the turquoise water of Lindos Bay.
The mistake at the luxury end is booking the expensive Old Town hotels that charge $250+/night for historical atmosphere and deliver a boutique room with no natural light. Electra Palace at $185-290/night threads this needle best. genuine Old Town location, real pool, rooms that don't feel like repurposed medieval storage. That's the ceiling of what the Old Town can honestly deliver.
Rhodes's best hotel regions
Start with Rhodes Town or Lindos if you actually want to experience the island. The beach resort strips around Ixia and Faliraki have their place, but you'll eat at the same five tourist menus every night.
Rhodes Town 3 vetted hotels Medieval walls, Mandraki Harbour, and the best base on the island.
Medieval walls, Mandraki Harbour, and the best base on the island.
Rhodes Town splits into two distinct worlds. The Old Town inside the medieval walls is UNESCO-listed and genuinely stunning around the Palace of the Grand Master and the Street of the Knights. The New Town outside has the beach at Elli, the casino, Mandraki Harbour, and most of the practical infrastructure.
Hotels here range from $55/night at Spot Hotel in the New Town to $290/night at Electra Palace inside the Old Town walls. That price gap reflects a real difference in experience. The New Town is livable and connected; the Old Town is atmospheric but demands tolerance for noise and uneven cobblestones.
Don't stay on or near Socrates Street if you value sleep before midnight. The restaurants and bars run late and the acoustics of those medieval alleys carry every conversation. Aim for the quieter southern quarter of the Old Town near Pythagora Street, or stay in the New Town and walk in.

The most dramatic setting on the island, with the Acropolis above and turquoise bays below.
Lindos is the postcard version of Rhodes turned into a real place. The whitewashed cubic houses, the clifftop Acropolis, Saint Paul's Bay and the Main Beach below. It's 55km from Rhodes Town and it feels like a completely different island.
Two very different hotels operate here. Siravast sits inside the village at $140-200/night, a genuine village-stay experience about 8 minutes walk from the Acropolis entrance. Capo di Grecia perches on the cliff above at $320-520/night with views that are borderline unreasonable. Both require arriving before the day crowds or leaving after they go.
No cars enter the village. You park in the designated lots outside and either walk or take a donkey up the hill (yes, that's a real option and it costs about €8 each way). Plan luggage accordingly. The village gets loud with tour groups between 10am and 4pm. the evenings are blissfully quiet.

Close to Rhodes Town, windier beaches, better prices than you'd expect.
Ixia is only 4km west of Rhodes Town, which makes it a practical base if you want resort facilities without full resort isolation. Atrium Platinum on Ixia Beach is our pick here at $150-240/night, and the pool complex is the real draw when the west coast wind picks up.
Trianda Beach just north of Ixia is popular with windsurfers for exactly the reason it's unpopular with sunbathers. Blue Horizon Hotel here at $120-180/night is priced honestly given the trade-offs. The sunsets over the water toward Turkey are legitimately beautiful though.
The airport at Diagoras is about 10 minutes south of Ixia. That matters more than you think. flight paths run overhead and the first arrivals start around 6am in peak season. Ask for rooms on the hotel's land side if early noise is a concern.

Family beaches, calmer water, and the best mid-range value on the island.
Faliraki gets a bad reputation it's still trying to shake from the early 2000s. Central Faliraki around the main beach is genuinely fine, especially for families. Hotel Anastasia here at $65-95/night sits far enough from Bar Street to avoid the worst of it.
Kolymbia is the quieter, classier alternative about 10km further south. The beach is wide and clean, Tsambika Beach is 3km up the road, and the resort village atmosphere is relaxed without being dead. Lydia Maris Resort on Kolymbia Beach at $110-175/night is the best family-oriented hotel on the island.
Both areas are served by the east coast KTEL bus route from Averof Street in Rhodes Town. Faliraki is about 20 minutes from town; Kolymbia takes around 40 minutes. A taxi from Rhodes Town to Kolymbia runs about €35-45.

Lardos Bay sits about 60km from Rhodes Town and feels genuinely remote compared to the north. The village of Lardos itself is about 3km inland, with a working taverna culture that hasn't fully pivoted to tourism. Lindian Village Beach Resort on Lardos Bay at $280-450/night is our Luxury Pick and it earns that badge without apology.
This part of the island rewards self-drive visitors. Rent a car and you've got Pefkos Beach 4km north, the Acropolis of Lindos another 10km up the road, and some of the emptiest coastline on the east side. The resort itself is designed to stand alone though. beach, pools, restaurants. if you prefer not to explore.
Don't make the mistake of booking here for a 2-night stay. The distance from Rhodes Town means you need at least 4 nights to justify not spending the whole holiday in transit.

Tell us how you travel.
Romantic
Lindos Cliff is the undisputed answer here. Capo di Grecia sits above Lindos Bay with views that require no filter and no explanation.
Culture
Rhodes Old Town is a living UNESCO site. Stay near the Liberty Gate entrance and you're 5 minutes walk from the Palace of the Grand Master, the Street of the Knights, and the Byzantine Museum on Plateia Argyrokastrou.
Family
Kolymbia Beach is calmer, shallower, and less chaotic than Faliraki. Lydia Maris Resort here has genuine kids' facilities and Tsambika Beach is a short drive north.
Budget
Rhodes New Town around Mandraki Harbour gives you Elli Beach, the Old Town a 10-minute walk away, and Spot Hotel at $55-85/night. That's the best value on the island, full stop.
Beach
Lardos Bay on the south-east coast has the clearest water and the least crowd pressure. Lindian Village sits right on it.
Foodie
Rhodes Town's Old Town side streets off Socrates Street hide the best food. The area around Platanos Square in Lindos village is also worth a dinner reservation. especially after the day crowds clear.
We reviewed 8,000+ options across the main regions of Rhodes. We cut the hotels with misleading beachfront photos that are actually a 15-minute walk from the water. We cut the Old Town properties charging $250/night for rooms with no windows and medieval-era ventilation. We cut the all-inclusive resorts that lock you inside with mediocre buffets while the real Rhodes sits five minutes away. What's left are 10 hotels we'd actually book ourselves.
Location Quality
Is the neighborhood walkable? Are restaurants, shops, and attractions within 10 minutes on foot? How does it feel after dark? We evaluate safety, public transport access, and whether the area has genuine local character or just tourist traps. A hotel in the wrong neighborhood ruins a trip. That's why location carries the most weight.
Value for Money
We compare what you pay against what you get. A €150 hotel with a great location, clean rooms, and helpful staff can outscore a €500 hotel with fancy amenities in a bad area. We factor in seasonal pricing, cancellation policies, and hidden costs like tourist tax and breakfast surcharges. The goal is finding the best ratio, not the lowest price.
Guest Experience
We analyze thousands of verified guest reviews across multiple platforms, looking for patterns rather than individual complaints. Consistent praise for cleanliness, staff, and room quality counts. We also assess the intangibles: does the hotel have character? Would you recommend it to a friend? A soul-less chain hotel with perfect facilities still loses to a well-run boutique with personality.

When to Visit Rhodes
Hotel prices, crowds, and weather vary by season.
Peak Summer (July-August)
This is when Rhodes is absolutely rammed. Mandraki Harbour in Rhodes Town is gridlocked, Lindos village hits capacity with tour groups by 10am, and $55/night budget rooms become $95/night. The water is at its warmest (26-28°C) and sunsets over Ixia are stunning. But if you're not heat-tolerant, July in Rhodes is a lot.
Spring (April-June)
May and June are when Rhodes makes the most sense. Temperatures hover around 22-26°C, the Valley of the Butterflies near Petaloudes is at its best from late May, and hotel prices are 20-40% below August rates. Lindos village in early June is the version you actually want to experience.
Autumn (September-October)
September is arguably better than May. Sea temperature stays around 24-26°C, the crowds thin noticeably after the first week, and most hotels cut rates by 25-35%. Tsambika Beach near Kolymbia is at its most beautiful in late September when the light changes.
Winter (November-March)
Most resort hotels close between November and March, including several on our list. What stays open is primarily in Rhodes Town. Prices drop to $50-85/night even at mid-range properties, and the Old Town in winter. fewer tourists, moody light, actual locals using Socrates Street. is a genuinely different experience.
Booking Tips for Rhodes
Smart booking strategies for Rhodes.
Book Lindos hotels 4-6 months out
Capo di Grecia and Siravast have maybe 20-30 rooms combined. They sell out by February for June-September. If Lindos is the goal, don't treat this like a last-minute booking destination. April is not too early to secure July dates.
Don't rent a car in Rhodes Town itself
Parking in the New Town near Mandraki costs €8-12/day and the streets are tight. Pick up a rental car only if you're heading south past Kolymbia or doing day trips to Kamiros on the west coast. For Rhodes Town, Faliraki, and Ixia, the KTEL buses and taxis cover everything you need.
The 'sea view' upsell is worth it in Lindos, nowhere else
At Capo di Grecia in Lindos, paying for a sea-view room is non-negotiable. the view over the bay is the product. Everywhere else on the island, the sea-view premium of €30-60/night rarely delivers proportionate value. The view from Atrium Platinum's pool area is basically the same as any sea-view room.
Eat outside the Old Town for anything under €20
Restaurants on Socrates Street and around Plateia Ippokratous charge tourist prices for average food. Walk 8-10 minutes to the Nea Agora market area near Mandraki Harbour or try the backstreets off Aristotelous Street in the New Town. You'll eat better for €10-14 a head instead of €22-28.
Check the airport flight path before booking Ixia or Trianda
Diagoras Airport sits 13km southwest of Rhodes Town, and the main approach runs directly over the Ixia and Trianda hotel strip. First arrivals hit around 6am in summer. Both Atrium Platinum and Blue Horizon are affected. Neither will advertise this. Ask for a room on the east-facing or land-facing side and you'll mostly escape it.
Greek Easter can double hotel prices with 2 weeks' notice
Greek Orthodox Easter (which doesn't align with Western Easter. check the actual dates for your year) triggers a domestic tourism surge across Rhodes. Rhodes Town fills fast, and hotels on our list from Rodos Park to Electra Palace see rates jump 40-70% for the Easter weekend. Book 6-8 weeks out minimum if your trip overlaps with it.
Hotels in Rhodes, FAQ
Straight answers from our team.
What's the best area to stay in Rhodes for first-timers?
Rhodes Town is the right answer for most people. You're a 10-minute walk from the Old Town's medieval walls, Elli Beach is right there on the New Town side, and you won't need a car. The Old Town itself is romantic but the cobblestones and noise from Socrates Street can wear thin after 3 days.
How much should I budget for a hotel in Rhodes?
Budget travelers can find solid options around $55-85/night in Rhodes Town's New Town district. Mid-range runs $110-200/night in areas like Kolymbia or Ixia. Lindos cliff hotels push $320-520/night, and for that money you're getting views of the Acropolis that don't exist anywhere else on the island.
Is it worth staying in Lindos or should I just visit for the day?
If your budget allows $140+/night, staying in Lindos changes everything. The village empties after 5pm when the day-trippers leave, and the Acropolis lit up at dusk from your terrace is worth every euro. Siravast Hotel sits inside the village itself, about 8 minutes walk from the Acropolis entrance.
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
May and October are the sweet spot. Temperatures sit around 22-26°C, hotel prices are $30-60/night cheaper than July-August peak, and the beaches aren't rammed. July and August see Rhodes Town's Mandraki Harbour area absolutely packed, with water temperatures around 26-28°C if that's your priority.
How do I get around Rhodes without a car?
The main KTEL bus station on Averof Street in Rhodes Town runs regular routes down the east coast to Lindos (about 1.5 hours, around €6). Taxis from Rhodes Town to Faliraki run about €15-20. Renting a scooter costs €15-25/day and honestly covers most of what you need on the island.
Which hotels are closest to Rhodes Old Town?
Electra Palace Rhodes is literally inside the Old Town walls, near the Plateia Argyrokastrou square. Rodos Park Suites sits just outside the walls on the edge near the Municipal Gardens, about 5 minutes walk to the Liberty Gate entrance. Nothing else on our list gets you closer.
Are there good family-friendly hotels in Rhodes?
Lydia Maris Resort in Kolymbia is our top family pick, directly on Kolymbia Beach about 35km south of Rhodes Town. The resort sits near Tsambika Beach, one of the safest swimming beaches on the east coast. Kids' facilities are genuine, not an afterthought.
What should I avoid when booking a hotel in Rhodes?
Avoid anything marketed as 'beachfront' on the west coast near Trianda without checking the actual satellite view. The airport flight path runs directly over Ixia and Trianda, and early-morning landings start around 6am in peak season. Also skip Old Town hotels under $100/night. you'll end up in a windowless converted storage room.
Is Faliraki still worth staying in?
Faliraki has cleaned up its act since the early 2000s party reputation. Central Faliraki near the main beach is decent for couples and families at $65-95/night. The northern strip toward Bar Street still gets loud after midnight, so ask specifically for rooms away from that end.
Which hotel has the best pool in Rhodes?
Atrium Platinum in Ixia has one of the most impressive pool setups on the island, with a direct setup over Ixia Beach. Lindian Village in Lardos Bay runs a close second with multiple pool areas and direct beach access at $280-450/night. Both are genuinely worth it if pools matter to you.
How far is Rhodes Town from Lindos?
Lindos is about 55km from Rhodes Town along the east coast road. By bus from Averof Street station it takes 1.5-2 hours and costs around €6 each way. By taxi you're looking at €50-65 one way. Renting a car cuts the trip to about 50 minutes.
Do hotels in Rhodes include breakfast?
It varies a lot and the upsell is real. Mid-range and budget hotels often charge €10-18 per person extra for breakfast that isn't worth it. Near Mandraki Harbour in Rhodes Town you'll find bakeries and kafeneions charging €4-6 for coffee and a proper pastry. Save the money unless the hotel breakfast gets specifically good reviews.
