Best Hotels near Petra Kamara, Rhodes

This hotel is near the sea in the new city of RDOS, because there are no tourists in winter, the hotel is very cheap, but the hotel facilities are not reduced because there are no tourists, heating is available, the service is super good, the breakfast is super rich, although I saw that I was eating breakfast alone, The hotel has a bus stop to the airport in three minutes, and it takes about 10-15 minutes to the old city. It is very convenient to have a bus to LINDOS for only 6 euros.

We stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The staff and service were both excellent. The hotel is 75 rooms and feels just the right size, we had a spacious room overlooking the pool. The pool is a real asset to the hotel and the gardens that surround it. George the lifeguard arrives at 10am every day and was super helpful. You can have breakfast and dinner looking out over the pool and gardens, which is a beautiful setting. We had booked bed and breakfast, a great selection of food in the morning with choices for everyone. We hadn’t planned to eat in the hotel but the food was excellent and we were so well looked after, we had 3 meals. Lots of other guests were on the half board option. Reception also gave us a great recommendation and we had lunch at Koukos in the new town area. It’s 10 minutes walk into the old town and the new town so the perfect location. We would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you to the team at Rodos Park.

Overall correct. Very varied breakfast. On the other hand very bad wifi and big soundproof prb.

Having travelled to many European beach resorts and stayed in many 4star plus hotels, this is one I will never return to. I have never left a bad review before but struggling to comprehend how it has got it’s stars. I’ll start at the beginning… Arrived around midnight, to be met by the receptionist who didn’t even welcome us. Threw papers on reception, told me to fill them in, all he wanted was the resort tax from me. No explanation of where anything was or what the hotel offered. There was a porter there but only helped those staying in the Elite suites, we were left to fend for ourselves. Next morning we found a beach towel card in our room, when we finally found where to get our towels, we were told that we needed a card for each of us, so would need to trundle all the way back to reception to get another. Frustrating when the booking was clearly for two. This wasn’t a one off, heard many people sharing the same problems . The deluxe Mountain View room was so disappointing, not as TUI advertised, which stated our room was complimented by a Mountain View. See photos, just shocking view. Pool areas are poor, there are no where near enough sun beds and the morning run to get one is not what you would expect for this supposed category of hotel. The adult only pool was filthy with slime marks all around the edge and floating bird pooh from the copious amounts of starlings nesting in the hotel balconies. Some of the staff were rude, in particular one woman on the pool bar who after ignoring my partner who had been patiently waiting (he was front of the queue). I looked over to see why she wasn’t serving him, she looked at me and said “what”. I told her I was just wondering why she wasn’t serving him and just said to him”wait” and continued to chat with her colleagues. So rude We never had a bed linen changed throughout our 7 day stay which is something I have never experienced before, the maids sometimes didn’t even take away our dirty cups. Just a poor experience, never again. And before asked, no didn’t report it to management, just wanted the week to end and come home. Maybe just us having a bad experience , bur the comments “complimented by a mountain view” an utter joke!! On a positive note, coming back to the beautiful island of Rhodes, seeing the stunning old town again, and beautiful Lindos, compensated for the poor service within this hotel. Just need to find one that actually is at least 4star plus.

The hotel is clean and well maintained and the staff are helpful and friendly. We didn't eat in the bar so I can't comment on the food but it looked good and plentiful if a little overpriced! Be aware though that almost EVERYTHING is an extra so budget quite a bit more if you want to use sunbeds, air conditioning or wifi. We didn't as the costs were outrageous. We had a Superior Studio apartment and the beds were very comfortable and the room cleaned daily. We didn't find any of the 'complimentary' toiletries which they advertise although we had a lovely but empty liquid soap dispenser! The shower is really good and would be better if the shower screen had been bigger. They do supply a squeegee for you to remove all the water that sprays all over the bathroom floor. The shower has a fixed head and can't be adjusted and there is a switchable hand shower head for squirting your 'bits'. A good hair dryer is provided. The biggest deal-breaker for us was that in no way was it a fully equipped self-catering apartment. There is NO KETTLE, NO TOASTER and very little of anything else in the way of kitchen equipment. A coffee peculator is provided which is useless (and I stress useless) for making tea. If you want to self-cater, the very reason we booked this hotel, don't bother booking here. You will be very disappointed. If you want to eat out there are many very good restaurants within very short walking distance. You'll be lucky to get breakfast before 10:30 AM though. If you are a light sleeper then think about what it would be like sleeping within one meter of your fridge compressor turning on and off all night long. The balcony is far from private and ours had only a view of an orange tree which was sprayed with chemicals (I assume) every couple of days! It was right next to the walkway to all the other apartments which is great if you want to meet everyone while you're trying to eat your boiled egg and no toast breakfast washed down with lukewarm tea! All in all we had a great time in Rhodes and this hotel could so easily be made to be perfect but sadly I really think they are more interested in taking money than providing a comfortable self-catering holiday experience. Still gave them an above average score though for all the good reasons stated above but we won't be staying there again for all the many bad reasons. Be sure to check out the Royal bar just round the corner. The food is wonderful, the owner and staff are fantastic and the prices reasonable. A bit further on is the San Allotte restaurant which is equally good (maybe better) but more expensive.

Stayed here at the beginning of October as a solo female traveller and had a great stay, where I felt safe and welcomed. I don’t understand the negative reviews, these are family run, authentic Greek apartments and don’t advertise themselves otherwise. Agreed it’s not the Ritz, but you don’t pay Ritz money to stay here 😊. The whole complex is spotless, my room was cleaned every day, towels & bedding changed regularly, and an abundance of toilet rolls left. The staff are great, will just leave you to it, but there if you need them…..perfect. I had an issue with my kettle shorting the electrics which was remedied straight away. I asked for more bedding and was given this without question. I utilised the fridge and cooking facilities in my room every day, and managed to cobble together a few meals. Due to the amount of walking I did, I only used Charlie’s shuttle once during my trip but it’s a great service running at 11am/5pm/8pm. As a Hillside guest, you get 10% off a couple of restaurants near the drop off/pick up site. I had a Gyros meal at Eat Greek which was ok. The pool area is lovely with plenty of loungers and there are towels for you to use which is a nice touch. The walk to a supermarket is 0.7 miles and takes around 12 minutes dependant on ability. They will give you a lift back if you spend over 50 Euros. It is then only a few more minutes walk to the main beach and Faliraki centre. I beach hopped each day with the walk to Anthony Quinn Bay being exactly 3 miles and took around 58 minutes. I can recommend ‘Golden Hands’ for a massage, hotel collection and drop off which was included in the price: full body masssge, 35 Euros. I also went zip lining which was good, again, hotel pick up and drop off included in the 15 Euro price. I had trouble finding a quad biking trip for under 150 Euros but that may be due to end of season limited availability. All in all, a great holiday with lovely weather in the low 30’s and where I felt safe as a solo female traveller. Thank you Hillside, I will definately be back 😊
