Rodos Palace Hotel

We stayed at the Rodos Palace for 3 nights while going around the island. The hotel is OK but definitely not meeting the 5-star, perhaps not even the 4-star criteria. The staff is outstandingly friendly and dedicated but certain parts of the hotel are quite outdated, feels like back in the 80s. Food is great and the buffet offers a reasonable variety of options (as long as you are not food-picky). The outdoor pools are quite small in size against the number of guests this hotel accommodates. Nice beach in front, reachable in walking distance but next to a major traffic artery. Overall nice location, Rhodes downtown could be approached in about 15 min.

I have been there in two summer vacations in 2021 and 2022 and it has been a pleasure. I can highly recommend you the exclusive junior suites and the premier rooms because they are located on the renovated floors of the hotel. The rooms are clean and luxurious. The beach is nearby as well as several supermarkets and restaurants.Rhodos city is a 10 min taxi drive away and you reach the airport within a 20 min taxi drive. There is a quad bike rental directly on the hotel's property.I love this hotel and I would return there any time when in rhodes. You should also keep in mind, that dogs are allowed with you on the beach🙂

Am staying there right now. 1st night. Restaurant overcrowded and desert selection pathetic. Hope it improves for rest of the week. Continuing from previous review. Just had dinner . Very very poor considering we had paid for all inclusive . Went to the bar after for drinks 11.00 the lights were switched of and we had to finish drinks by light from I phone. Not impressed.End of week review.?Would classify as 2 star. All inclusive drinks ,wine,brandy beer served in paper cups.

If I could give this hotel 0/5 I would.The hotel room in pictures were completely different to in person, very dated design.I booked a double bed because it was just me but I got 2 single beds they told me that’s what I booked. Ask for an upgrade but they said it wasn’t available event tho when I checked online there were rooms. After days of asking they told me I could but I had to pay €100 extra per night.On top of that when I went to get food the waiter was extremely rude and dismissive.The food is very basic had chips and spaghettiOverall I wouldn’t recommend at all, avoid at all costs.Only good thing it’s cheap to get a taxi into the centre

When you first arrive at the hotel you will be impressed. Smells gorgeous and really looks the part.You will be asked to pay a further €6.00 per night you are staying in tax’s. We paid no problem, the lady next to us however kicked off and got a upgraded room.When reached our room and was not what was shown on the website. The room was not modern, white or luxurious. Instead it looked like it hadn’t been touched since the beginning of the 80’s and had a bizarre smell to it.I called the reception that evening to say I wasn’t satisfied with the room and was told to go down to reception to speak to the manager at 10:00am the next morning and I did, i explained i wasn’t happy with the room and she said “you booked a standard room” I also said about the previous night with the other guests getting an upgrade where she insinuated I was lying as she is the only one that can upgrade. Lovely customer service… she also couldn’t offer me another room as they were fully booked. So we just sucked it up and stayed however we did hear this same conversation about 5 times during our stay with other guests!Considering the size of the hotel, the amount of sun loungers around the pool are sparse. If you are planning on going out in the morning and come back to lounge around the pool, id advise going to the beach where you can have somewhere to sit. Also regarding the size of the hotel, expect to wait forever and a day just to get the elevator. We found it quicker to take the stairs.The outside bar is not included in the all inclusive package, instead you have to go inside to another bar to get anything, including water or coke.Breakfast’s are okay but get VERY repetitive after about day 3, also prepare yourself for nothing but carnage in the dinner hall. The lady who checks you in during the morning breakfast could do with a bit more personality and maybe be a bit more friendlier. That also goes for the guy on the outside bar too.This is NOT a 5 star hotel, 3 at the best but has so much potential. Maybe some friendlier staff and better modern rooms.Perks were the location of the hotel being right on the beach and about a 30 minute walk into old town or a €9.00 taxi ride.We are not one’s to revisit many places once done but Rhodes was a great visit but unfortunately we wouldn’t re stay at Rodos Palace again.
