Ξενοδοχείο Αθήναιον

I don’t normally give reviews on anything but this hotel was absolutely horrible. I recommend anyone that is looking to visit this area to stay at any other hotel. Everything about this hotel was horrible besides the location to old town roads and Newtown Road which is walking distance.

This hotel is in an ideal location for exploring the old town of Rhodes, less than 5 minutes walk from the one of the gates. The staff were very friendly and would organise trips and taxis for you if you needed them to. The two bedroom apartment we had was very large and would potentially sleep 5, thought the kitchen facilities were sadly lacking,only 3 forks, 4 knives, 4 teaspoons, 5 soup spoons and a bread knife. There was no kettle or toaster and we had to boil water in a pan to make a cup of tea or coffee. However, that is the only downside to the apartment, it was spotlessly clean and the towels were changed daily. Fruit and wine was left for us when we checked in which was a welcoming touch. The pool area could do with a bit of TLC, some of the sun beds were rickety to say the least, the back rests having broken on some and some which were a bit lop sided! The breakfast was nothing special, certainly not worth 10 euros but food and drink from the pool bar was good, service was excellent. The pool got a bit busy with children and inflatables but as it was school holiday time when we were there that was to be expected. There is a TV in the lounge area and also a pool table, a table tennis table just outside the lounge was good. The sauna wasn't working when we were there but it was so hot I don't think we would have used it! Our flight home wasn't until the evening and we were able to use our room towels to shower by the pool before we left.

Athineon Hotel is exceptional. You could use the hotel as a holiday destination and never leave during your stay. The pool and surrounds are adequate and tranquil. hotel food is good and inexpensive, rooms have kitchenettes with a grocery store onsite, there is a basic gym and games area. Outside the hotel its a nice walk to the old town of Rhodes. An adventure into an extensive history lesson and amazing spectacles. The new town offers modern shops, the port offers day trips (Lindos is recommend ) and the local beaches are fantastic. The staff are exceptionally friends and helpfull. Any problem is dealt with immediately with a smile. This hotel cannot be faulted.

It was clean and the bed was very comfy. The old town was only a minutes walk away and there was a big supermarket 5 minutes walk from the hotel

The location was amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room size was very large and we enjoyed the balconies off the bedrooms. I would absolutely recommend this hotel. Especially if you are coming from Marmaris to Rhodes for a night or two.
