Rhodes offers accommodation from converted medieval inns inside the Old Town walls to sprawling beachfront all-inclusive resorts along the east coast. Each area suits a different type of traveller, and your choice of base shapes the entire trip. Here is a breakdown by area, with specific hotel recommendations. For more on Rhodes weather by month, see our Rhodes weather by month.
Where to Stay in Rhodes: Old Town
Staying within the medieval walls puts you steps from the Street of the Knights, the Palace, and dozens of tavernas tucked into stone alleyways. The trade-off is that Old Town hotels tend to be small, with no pools, limited parking, and original stone walls that mean rooms can be compact. Expect to drag your suitcase over cobblestones from the nearest gate; taxis cannot enter the walled city. Prices run EUR 80-200/night depending on the season and level of restoration. Best suited to couples and culture-focused travellers who prioritise atmosphere over resort amenities. For more on best time to visit guide, see our best time to visit guide.
Suggested Hotels in Old Town
Trinity Boutique Hotel
A restored heritage building in the heart of the Old Town with original stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and a tranquil courtyard garden. Rooms are individually styled with handmade furniture and rainfall showers. Best for couples and honeymooners seeking a romantic base inside the medieval walls. Check rates and availability For more on events and festivals, see our events and festivals.
Kokkini Porta Rossa
A six-suite boutique hotel in a restored 14th-century knight’s residence near the Marine Gate. Each suite is uniquely decorated with antiques and original stone features. The included breakfast is served in the garden courtyard. Best for history lovers and special occasion stays where the building itself is part of the experience. Check rates and availability For more on neighborhoods guide, see our neighborhoods guide.
Cava d’Oro
A budget-friendly guesthouse in a 700-year-old building in the Jewish Quarter with exposed stone walls, wooden beams, and a rooftop terrace with Old Town views. Rooms are simple but clean, with air conditioning and private bathrooms. Best for solo travellers and couples on a moderate budget who want the Old Town experience without the boutique price tag. Check rates and availability For more on where to stay, see our where to stay.
Where to Stay in Rhodes: New Town
The New Town offers more conventional city hotels at lower prices than the Old Town, with the advantage of being near the bus station, car rental offices, and Mandraki Harbour. You are a 10-15 minute walk from the Old Town gates. Hotels here are better suited to those who plan to use Rhodes Town as a base for day trips around the island rather than spending all day within the walls. Prices: EUR 40-120/night. For more on travel tips, see our travel tips.
Suggested Hotels in New Town
Rodos Park Suites & Spa
The closest five-star option to the Old Town, a 5-minute walk from the walls.

Best for travellers who want luxury amenities and proximity to the Old Town without the constraints of staying inside the walls. Check rates and availability
Hotel Savoy
A well-maintained 2-star city hotel on a quiet side street 10 minutes from the Old Town. Rooms have been recently renovated with modern bathrooms, air conditioning, and fridges. A complimentary breakfast buffet is served in the garden courtyard. Best for budget-conscious travellers and solo visitors who prioritise value and location over luxury. Check rates and availability
Hotel Galaxias
A family-run 3-star hotel on a quiet pedestrian street in the New Town, with a swimming pool (rare for city-centre hotels on Rhodes). Rooms are simple but spacious with balconies, and the included breakfast is generous by Greek standards. Best for families and travellers who want a pool without going to a beach resort. Check rates and availability
Where to Stay in Rhodes: Lindos
Accommodation in Lindos is overwhelmingly small, independently owned guesthouses and villas carved out of the hillside. Most require walking up stepped paths from the parking area or main square; porters with donkeys can carry luggage for a tip (EUR 5-10). Book at least 3 months ahead for July-September. Prices: EUR 100-300/night. Lindos is car-free, so if you plan to explore the rest of the island, you will walk to your car from the parking lot each day.
Suggested Hotels in Lindos
Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites
An adults-only five-star hotel built into the cliffside above Vlycha Bay, 2km north of Lindos village. Features an infinity pool, private beach access, and suites with individual plunge pools and Aegean Sea views. The on-site restaurant, Five Senses, holds a fine-dining reputation on the island. Best for couples and honeymooners seeking a secluded luxury retreat with Lindos village nearby. Check rates and availability
Lindos Mare Hotel

Villetta Lindos
A traditional Lindian captain’s house converted into a self-catering villa right in the village, with a rooftop terrace overlooking the acropolis. The interior retains original pebble-mosaic floors and carved wooden ceilings. Sleeps up to four people. Best for families or small groups wanting an authentic village stay with kitchen facilities. Check rates and availability
Where to Stay in Rhodes: Faliraki and East Coast Resorts
The east coast from Kallithea to Afandou is the resort corridor, with large hotels directly on long sandy beaches. This area suits families and package-holiday travellers who want a self-contained hotel with pools, restaurants, and beach access on site. Prices vary from EUR 50/night for basic apartments to EUR 200/night for five-star all-inclusive resorts. The trade-off is that the area has limited cultural appeal and requires bus or taxi trips to visit the Old Town (EUR 12-15 taxi, 20 minutes).
Suggested Hotels in Faliraki
Elysium Resort & Spa
A five-star beachfront resort at the northern (Kallithea) end of Faliraki with a large infinity pool, full-service spa, and multiple restaurants including a Greek fine-dining option. Rooms have sea views and the beach is sandy with calm water. Best for couples and luxury-seeking families who want resort amenities without the party atmosphere. Check rates and availability
Pegasos Beach Hotel
A mid-range four-star all-inclusive resort on Faliraki’s main beach with two pools, tennis courts, and a kids’ club. The all-inclusive package covers meals, local drinks, and snacks. Best for families with children who want a predictable, self-contained holiday where everything is paid upfront. Check rates and availability
Ano Kampos Hotel
A family-run budget hotel 1km inland from Faliraki Beach with a large pool and basic but clean rooms. The walk to the beach takes 15 minutes. The on-site restaurant serves home-cooked Greek food at lower prices than the beachfront. Best for budget travellers and backpackers who want a pool and a quiet setting away from the main strip.
