Mediterranean Hotel

Our first time in Rhodes and we loved our hotel was clean and well maintained. The rooms were excellent definitely worth paying a little extra for a sea view room. Breakfast was good with lots of choice. Location is OK it’s about a 20 min walk into the old town which wasn’t a problem for us but if you struggle with walking especially in hot weather you might want to stay some where closer to the old town. Beach was lovely but sunbeds can be expensive we paided €20 euro one day for back of beach beds then €70 euro another day for VIP beds at the front row of a beach club. Just a couple of bad things…… The hotel has only 1 lift and if like us your staying on the top floor and rely on it there can sometimes be a que for it. And lastly the pool in my opinion is too small for the size of hotel and can get super busy and there are only about 20 sun beds and 100s of guests so if you like sitting beside the pool all the time bare this in mind. Having said that we enjoyed it and would come here again

Last summer, in July , after seeing AC/DC in Bratislava , we drove home and the next day we were on the plane to Rhodes ... the hotel of choice that we've booked was the Mediterranean hotel in the Rhodes Town - and yes is was not the first time we stayed here , a bit more than 10 years ago during my first trip to Rhodes we've stayed at the same hotel. So this are my thoughts after revisiting this hotel ... 10 years after my first stay. Location - on the Kos Street in the immediate vicinity of the Rhodes ******. Now if you decide to rent a car from the airport - upon arrival - be aware that you only park on the street in front of the hotel. The hotel is situate exactly near the beach - Elli beach - so you have to options, either cross the street in front of the hotel , either you take the few steps on the stairs by the reception and get to the beach through the tunnel , under the street directly to the beach ... yes they've got a tunnel so you don't have to bother with crossing the street. On the premises - beside the bar in the reception area, you can exit towards the outdoor pool - it is not a big pool , but if you want to kickback and sipping on a cocktail you can do that by the hotel. As can be seen they've got a bar - there you can have a drink , pretty much starting before noon and/or some snacks (maybe a light meal). Also they've got a restaurant - where they have the a la cart options and also they've got their buffet menu ( we had the half board accommodation, that was in the package from the travel agency where we booked our stay so we've got breakfast and dinner included at the hotel) - we went for the buffet every morning and every evening and I have to say there was no disappointment , it was always a selection of Greek/Rhodian cuisine and international dishes in the mix - going from chicken, turkey, salad, pasta , fish and seafood .. I can tell you that even after a week eating twice at the hotel it wasn't boring and there was always interesting and very tasty food to be tried! If you feel like you want to try other places , in walking distance - like 5 min literally there are 3 different restaurants ( you can find my reviews for those too on TA ) where you can try other dishes that they serve at the hotels diner. The room - we had it on the 6th floor at the end of the hallway so it was not noisy at all - very clean, they clean it daily (unless you don't want it daily) , spacious enough but not big and had a small balcony facing .. the courtyard, not the sea. AC was working properly, not noisy and needed in July otherwise it gets really hot during the day. Strong Wi-Fi signal in the room so connecting to the web was not a problem. Furniture looked new, no wear or tear in the room ... so nothing to complain from that perspective. Bathroom with a walk-in shower booth , big enough , with all the amenities you would need available there .. once again very clean. Reception staff, friendly and helpful ( my girlfriend was pregnan

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. Our room was a good size with plenty of storage, and the bed was really comfortable. The only downside was the balcony – being at the back of the hotel meant we didn’t get any sun. Breakfast offered plenty of variety and was always well topped up. The pastries were delicious, although I wasn’t too keen on having broccoli and carrots at breakfast! The pool was a lovely size for a swim and to cool off from the sun. There are around 20 loungers, so you do need to be up early to grab one, but there’s also sun lounger service from the staff which was a really nice touch. The staff also kindly let us know about the loungers just across from the hotel, which range from around €20 for a set – great if you want guaranteed sun all day. The staff truly made our stay. They were so warm and helpful, nothing was too much trouble – they even helped me fix my phone. A special thank you to the two porter lads, the day bar staff, and especially the wonderful Nikos, who went above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable. The only real issue was with the lifts – at one point only one was working, and even when both were running, it felt like more were needed for the size of the hotel. Overall, this has to be one of my favourite hotels I’ve stayed in. The staff are what make it so special, and I’d definitely come back again because of them.
