Ariadni Suite 2

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Ariadni Suite 2? It’s tucked away on Riga Fereou street in a way that feels intentional – like someone actually thought about where to put a hotel instead of just grabbing whatever space was available. I mean, you’re still right in Rhodes Town (literally a few minutes’ walk to the medieval Old Town walls), but you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of tourists dragging suitcases over cobblestones at all hours. The street itself is quiet enough that you can actually sleep with the windows open, which honestly made a huge difference during my stay in late spring when the weather was perfect but the rooms can get a bit warm.

The suite itself lives up to that 9.1 rating – and I’m usually skeptical of anything over 8.5 because, let’s be real, most places have at least some annoying quirks. But this place actually delivers on the details that matter. The bathroom has proper water pressure (you’d be surprised how rare that is in Greece), there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without playing Tetris with your luggage, and the kitchen area is functional enough that you could make a real breakfast, not just heat up instant coffee. What I really appreciated was the balcony situation – it’s not huge, but it faces away from the main street so you get this nice view of local life happening in the residential area behind the hotel. You’ll see neighbors hanging laundry and kids playing in the small courtyards, which honestly feels more authentic than staring at another hotel across the street.

The location thing is where this place really shines, though you have to know what you’re looking for. Sure, you’re walking distance to all the Old Town attractions, but more importantly, you’re positioned perfectly for the stuff locals actually do. There’s this little bakery about two blocks down that opens stupidly early and makes these incredible cheese pies – I stumbled across it by accident on my second morning and ended up going back every day. The parking situation (if you’re renting a car) is way better than anything you’ll find closer to the tourist center, and you’re close enough to the Mandraki Harbor that you can walk there for dinner without needing a taxi back. I stayed there in May, so I can’t speak to the summer chaos, but during shoulder season it felt like I’d found this perfect sweet spot where I could access everything without being in the middle of the madness. For a 4-star place, it punches above its weight – probably because it’s actually run like a boutique property rather than some cookie-cutter chain operation.

Reviews

• Aurora – 17 July 2024 (7/10)

  Comfortable beds and good space.
  
  What could be improved: Lack of cleaning utensils. It’s hard to keep the floors clean from sand and dust so a vacuum or a broom and dustpan would be nice.

• Lucie from Czech Republic – 11 May 2025 (9/10)

  Skvělé strategické místo poblíž brány/vstupu do starého města, přístavu, pláže, akropole i autobusového nádraží. V dosahu spousta restaurací, supermarketů, obchodů, i dětské hřiště.
  Byt je dostatečně vybavený vším, co je běžně potřebné, nic nám nechybělo (k dispozici také náhradní sáčky do koše, mycí prostředky, toaletní papír, …).
  Velmi jsme ocenili transfer z letiště a zpět.
  Komunikace s majiteli 👍.
  
  What could be improved: Nárazově tekla pouze vlažná voda. S majiteli jsme ale neřešili. Bylo horko a tak to pro nás nebyl tak zásadní problém.
