Excellent hotel for a stay in Rhodes Town
Really nice hotel, perfectly situated a short walk from the Old Town, ferry terminal and about 20/25 mins from Elli Beach. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Great to have a sitting room and kitchenette and balcony. Breakfast buffet has something for everyone - only criticism is that the food could be hotter.

Hotel is very good. Clean with excellent service & staff. Suites are spacious. Location is superb. A few minutes walk to the old town center & port. However, bathroom needs renovation. It's 3.5 star hotel rather than 4

Loved our stay at the Athineon. In a great location next to the old town. Had a great view from our balcony overlooking the harbour. Staff were friendly, especially the reception and bar staff. Restaurant food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. Would definitely return!

This is our third stay a the Athineon and definitely won't be our last. Great hotel in a great location. Fabulous pool that never gets too busy so none of the dreaded booking sunbeds. Super helpful staff. Only negative for us was that they couldn't accommodate our request for a fourth floor harbour facing room. Otherwise, can't wait to visit again.

Hotel is nice and clean. The service was not up to standard. I booked a room with breakfast however that wasn’t honoured. I asked the reception and the lady informed me that free breakfast only applies to bookings of 3 nights or more. This was not stated on Expedia or communicated earlier, the listing still states breakfast is included with the room. Having stayed at 100s of hotels worldwide I was really disappointed and have raised this with the hotel and Expedia.

Good location. Large apartment, but the kichen was not stocked well if you wanted to cook anything. There were no cleaning supplies so you couldn't wash your dishes and housekeeping didn't wash them either. The breakfast was good and the young lady who worked in the breakfast area was very nice, so was the bartender. The front desk people were indifferent. The hotel is dated, and the carpet in the hallways were very worn, and appeared to have mold on them.

Dear guest, thank you for choosing our hotel and thank you for your review. Please note that it is common policy that in Apartments the housekeeping staff does not clean the dishes nor supplying any cleaning supplies for the dishes. Please also note that we are located at a very sunny area of Rhodes and the carpet is discolored by the sun on some areas there is no mold or dirt.

The hotel is in a great location for who wants to visit Rhodes Old Town. Good area for walking and restaurants too. It's also relatively close to the airport, so it's convenient if your flight arrives late and you decide to continue your journey the next day. Rooms are large and convenient for a family that wants privacy. We didn't use the kitchen, but it seems to have what it is needed for quick meals. The breakfast is very simple, not really meeting the standard of a 4 star hotel or even a 3 star hotel. Although spacious and comfortable (quality bed and pillows, except for those who sleep in the living room), the rooms are quite outdated and require maintenance. The bathroom is small, especially the bathtub with shower and curtain. The pool area is very nice, but be aware that it can only be used during very restricted hours (10am-6pm). We were hoping to use it after the tours, but we didn't have time. You can park for free on the street. The best thing about the hotel was the pool bar. Extremely well made drinks, great quality and at a very attractive price (on average EUR 6).

Less than a 5 minute walk to Rhodes Town where there's bars, restaurants, shops and night life. Right across from the port where you take the ferries to other parts of Greece/Turkey. 25 mins from airport. Clean big rooms and a really nice bar and pool.

Good with some limitations
Spacious apartment near the city walls. Near to the port but quite a walk to Elli beach. We liked staying here but there were some flaws. The best aspect was the large pool, although it wasn't heated, and the pool bar set up was good. However, food options were not available after the pool shut in the evening.The view from the balcony was of the pool and other apartments, some not fully built. Housekeeping was largely restricted to a change of towels and emptying the bins. A strange aspect was having nothing other than sheets, which is fine for summer but a bit cold in autumn. On the last day we were allowed to leave luggage in the foyer but there was no access to our room, despite the hotel being practically empty.

Dear Kevin, thank you for staying with us and your kind review. Please note that the unfinished building is not part of the hotel property, it a building next door to us and is at the moment an unfinished project because of covid19. Also on the last day please keep in mind that the hotel was closing for the winter period which we do not operate and we had time limitations to make sure everything was closed regarding our equipment (hot water, WiFi, electrisity etc). Since we are closed for the winter all our equipment must be placed on a status for maintenance and for Health and Safety reasons access to some areas of the property on the last day is limited to our staff.

Fantastic break
Just back from a 1 week last minute rearranged trip Due to COVID and what a find.Great location just outside the old town 15 min walk approx. All staff were very friendly and helpful and have Worked together and been at the hotel for many years. Room was a great size for two people. All areas of the hotel were spotless. Appropriate ppe was worn by all staff. The pool was beautiful and was an excellent size and exceptionally clean. Breakfast offered good value for money which we were happy with. Some people may expect more variety but are they prepared to pay more? The other guests were of mixed age group and some of them were repeat business over many years. As stated all staff were extremely friendly and helpful but we must give a special mention to Johnny the bar man. He really went out of his way to provide knowledgeable advice on local restaurants, local wine, beaches, bus trips and the history of the island. He also Served a fantastic cosmopolitan cocktail to my partner. When returning to Rhodes this will be our first choice. We Will recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Great location and spacious comfortable room.
Hotel is excellently located, near to the main tourist port and just outside the walls of the old town. The hotel was spotlessly clean. We were only there for 1 night, but I would definitely stay there again when next in Rhodes. The staff at the front desk were efficient and professional and there was good evidence throughout the hotel of covid 19 preventative measures. The hotel room was apartment style and was very spacious, which suited us well as we were a family of 2 adults and 1 teenager. For the price we paid, it represented excellent value for money. There is a nice swimming pool, which unfortunately we didn't have time to use.

fantastic for the money
I would say value for money was great. Lovely staff, nice atmosphere by pool with friendly open bar. Nice and light buffet breakfast included in my price deal. 5 minutes walk into entrance of Rhodes old town which is beautuful, 20 minutes stroll to lively Eli beach which is also beautuful at night. Rooms are actually a 1 bedroom apartment with small kitchenette, seperate lounge and large balcony. Great for a couple. Super king sized very comfortable bed. Chrisp white linen and towels with dressing gown included. Yes the decor is tired in places and could fo with a bit of moderrnising and the furnishings are basic but hey you will have an extra £500 to enjoy your holiday compared to a modern modern hotel. Its a no brainer. If you want 5 star pay for it as this isnt but you always get what you pay for. One tip is prices vary on booking sites you must check all of them before booking. My deal was fantastic 👍👍👍

Stayed for 4 nights, two adults and two children. My wife and I really liked this hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the location was good for exploring the old town. Kids loved the pool. Yes, if you’re really fussy the rooms may be slightly dated, but the rest of the hotel makes up for it. I would stay there again if visiting Rhodes in the future.

The hotel is in a great location so close to the Old Town but the property is in need of renovation. It’s worn down. The bathroom was so uncomfortable and we kept having leaking issues from the faucet. It’s a hotel close to a beach and no way for you to wash your own clothes or nearby services to do yourself así found inconvenient. The staff is nice, front desk very nice and professional but the facility itself is a older hotel. However if your looking for convenience to be close to old town and hotel room amenities and look doesn’t need to be updated then go for it.
