10GR Boutique Hotel & Wine Bar

Hotel Description

You know those boutique hotels that try way too hard to be cool? Well, 10GR isn’t one of them. Tucked away on Polidorou Street – which honestly, most tourists walk right past on their way to the more obvious spots in Rhodes Old Town – this place has that effortless sophistication that actually works. I mean, the location alone is pretty brilliant. You’re literally a two-minute stroll from Sokratous Street where all the tourist madness happens, but Polidorou feels like you’ve discovered some secret corner that the cruise ship crowds haven’t figured out yet. The building itself has this gorgeous neoclassical thing going on, and when you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that someone really thought about every detail without making it feel stuffy or museum-like.

What really got me was the wine bar situation – and I’m not usually the type to get excited about hotel bars, honestly. But here’s the thing: they’ve got this incredible selection of Greek wines that goes way beyond the usual suspects. The sommelier (who’s there most evenings) actually knows the winemakers personally and will tell you stories about these tiny vineyards on islands you’ve never heard of. The whole space has this warm, lived-in feeling with exposed stone walls and lighting that’s dim enough to be romantic but bright enough that you can actually read the wine list. Service-wise, they nail that sweet spot between attentive and leaving you alone – you know what I mean? They remember your name and your drink preferences, but they’re not hovering around making you feel like you need to make small talk.

The rooms are honestly beautiful in that understated way that feels more like staying at a really stylish friend’s place than a hotel. Everything’s perfectly clean and well-maintained (which, let’s be real, isn’t always a given even with five-star places), and the beds are ridiculously comfortable. Actually, here’s a random detail that shows they pay attention: the blackout curtains actually work properly, which is rare and wonderful if you’re dealing with jet lag. Location-wise, you’re close enough to walk everywhere in the Old Town, but far enough from the main drag that you won’t hear drunk tourists stumbling around at 3 AM. Parking can be a bit tricky – like everywhere in the Old Town – but they’ll sort you out with recommendations, and honestly, once you’re settled in, you won’t need your car anyway. The whole experience just feels authentic and thoughtful, which is refreshing when so many places are trying to be Instagram-perfect instead of actually comfortable.

Reviews

• Joanne from Australia – 19 June 2025 (8/10)

  The hotel is in the heart of the old town. A lovely clean boutique hotel with a lovely breakfast.
  The room was cute and very pleasant looking however a little too small for us.
  The staff were extremely helpful and approachable. Especially the bright and cheerful and extremely helpful Anastasia.
  
  What could be improved: The verandah faced a brick wall and the staircase so all guests would come up the staircase and see us first thing so we didn’t feel we had much privacy therefore we aimed to stay inside most of the time while staying in. Also a very small basin and sink outside the toilet. Which was too small for our needs.

• Maria from United States – 18 June 2025 (10/10)

  Although the hotel is in the middle of the Old City, you could hardly hear the street noise. It is located in the pedestrian zone. We booked the Kamiros suite, which was very spacious. The hotel is many centuries old and it has been tastefully adapted. Is a mix of rustic environment with modern decoration.
  There is no elevator to get to the room and some stairs to get to the room. The staff helped with the luggage.
  Ilias was a super star assisting with every small detail, from picking us up at the gate, renting a car, restaurant recommendation.
  We had a great stay!
  
  What could be improved: The room has a modern mechanism to turn the lights on and off, and we had to call for someone to show us how it worked.

• Alastair from United Kingdom – 15 June 2025 (10/10)

  We stayed in one of the Deluxe Stone Rooms and the room itself is compact with the space used efficiently. The space itself is decor is very boujee with a welcoming feeling.
  
  The terrace outside is an amazing space to relax in the evening with a glass of wine or have your breakfast. I will add that the breakfast choices are fantastic.
  
  A special mention to all of the staff who are extremely accommodating. A car rental was arranged at our request, you are also transported to the car rental place itself. A transfer to the airport was also organised. They’re also all exceptionally friendly and always smiling.
  
  What could be improved: All perfect.

• Nurullah from Turkey – 11 June 2025 (10/10)

• Nena from United States – 31 May 2025 (10/10)

  What could be improved: More English tv

• Nicky from United Kingdom – 26 May 2025 (9/10)

  Fabulous place in the heart of the medieval city. Lovely to walk straight out of the hotel to so much history everywhere. Comfy bed and quirky but v functional room. Lovely outside seating area.
  
  What could be improved: Some noise from a neighbouring bar one night. But that's what you get for being in the heart of town.

• Ece from Turkey – 25 May 2025 (10/10)

  it was a very original place in the center, the rooms are so creative and nice. the most beautiful part, each room has a great, big balcony. there is also wine bar and restaurant inside the hotel, their service is so nice. all the people who work there, very kind people.

• Lisbeth from United Kingdom – 2 May 2025 (10/10)

  very convenient location for trips out of Rhodes town including by ferry. Quiet at night. Comfortable. Food good, extensive list of Greek wines and lovely helpful staff
  
  What could be improved: Very touristy location, very busy by day

• Noa from Israel – 20 April 2025 (8/10)

  The staff were great, very nice and helpful. They helped us rent a car and also drove us to the taxi rank so we could get a fixed priced ride to the airport (27€ for a taxi from/to the airport).
  
  The room was clean, shower was good, breakfast was good. Nice entrance to the room with a bench and table where you can sit outside when the weather is good. Location is super central in oldtown with walking distance to all the shops and restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: The room is very small. The door to the bathroom didn’t close all the way which was uncomfortable. There is almost no space to put stuff near the sink.
  
  The A/C was set on heating and they couldn’t change it without a technician that will set it only on cooling.
  Our stay was on some hot and sunny days so we had to keep the window open if we wanted to be in the room during the day and also on some nights.

• Martin from United Kingdom – 18 April 2025 (10/10)

  We stayed in a Deluxe double room, and it was small, very clean and with everything we needed. Airccon wasn’t quite working properly but it’s off season and wasn’t too hot.
  
  The staff are fantastic, very friendly and very helpful. The breakfasts were amazing (the Greek yogurt and honey is unlike anything I’ve had before) and we had a great dinner there too.
  
  Location is in the centre of the old town but on a quieter street. Nothing is more than a few minutes walk. We slept really well in the room, very comfortable and quiet.
  
  The star of the show is their wine cellar. We did a wine tasting and had different wines in the bar, all very good and the staff very knowledgeable (the waiter at dinner suggested my wife choose a different wine based on her choice of food, to balance acidity!). Great service.
