City Heart Luxury Studios

City Heart Luxury Studios Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to City Heart Luxury Studios on Ethnarchou Makariou street, you immediately get that feeling you’ve found something special. The building sits right in the heart of Rhodes Town‘s most coveted area — and honestly, the location alone justifies the stay. I mean, when couples consistently rate a location 10.0, you know there’s something magical happening here. The entrance has this understated elegance that doesn’t scream for attention but quietly whispers quality.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally in the top-rated area of Rhodes Town, which means everything worth seeing is within walking distance. The Medieval City is just steps away, and you can actually hear the gentle hum of the old town without being overwhelmed by tourist crowds. Ethnarchou Makariou is one of those streets where locals still go about their daily business, so you get authentic Greek life mixed with easy access to all the main attractions. You know what’s really nice? You can grab morning coffee from a local kafeneio and be exploring the Palace of the Grand Master within minutes.

The Studios

The studios themselves are thoughtfully designed — each one feels more like a carefully curated apartment than a typical hotel room. There’s this attention to detail that you notice in small ways: the way natural light fills the space, how the kitchenette is actually functional (not just decorative), and the fact that you have enough room to spread out your things without feeling cramped. The modern amenities blend seamlessly with touches that nod to Rhodes’ rich history, creating spaces that feel both contemporary and rooted in place.

The Experience

What strikes me most is how the property manages to feel intimate despite being in such a central location. The 9.7 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects how guests genuinely connect with this place. There’s something about staying here that makes you feel like you’re living in Rhodes rather than just visiting it. The staff understands the neighborhood intimately, so their recommendations actually matter (they’re not just reading from a script). Whether you want the best souvlaki spot that locals frequent or need to know the quietest time to visit the Archaeological Museum, they’ve got insights that make a difference.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, it comes down to this perfect storm of location, comfort, and authenticity. You’re staying in a place where couples rate the location as absolutely perfect, but you’re not sacrificing modern comfort for that prime position. The studios give you independence — you can prepare a simple breakfast with fresh ingredients from the local market, or you can step outside and be spoiled for choice with tavernas and cafes. It’s that rare find where the property enhances your Rhodes experience rather than just providing a place to sleep. When you’re exploring the cobblestone streets of the Medieval City or watching sunset from the harbor, you know you have this perfect home base waiting for you.

Reviews of City Heart Luxury Studios

• James_gr from Greece – 16 February 2025 (9/10)

  The location was fantastic. Everything was within walking distance. Plenty of cafes and restaurants even in the off season. Our host, Nektaria, was extremely welcoming and happy to provide advice and support. A special mention is that she provided a lot of food such as yogurt, cheese, drinks, water, bread, biscuits, sweets, and a bottle of white wine. This is exceptional service in my opinion.
  
  What could be improved: nothing

• Yonatan from Israel – 16 October 2024 (10/10)

  Nektaria was amazing, very helpful and always available.
  the suite is beautiful, spacious and very clean. perfect balcony to the city center. lots of yummy things in the fridge, cupboard and wine on the table.
  just perfect. highly recommended. will be back for sure.
  
  What could be improved: well. only the water pressure in the shower is weak,
  local problem i guess…

• Rachel from Canada – 23 September 2024 (10/10)

  Nektaria is a thoughtful, sweet, kind and professional host that went above and beyond- everything from the pick up at the (Kolona) non-tourist port, to the plethora of snacks, assisting with rental car company (MARATHON <– BEST. allows pick up in town and drop off at Rhodes airport for a small fee:) YW), unexpected and lovely toiletries and amenities, and SPOTLESS apartment.
  Overall apartment- SPACIOUS and Modern. Perfect for our 5 night stay. The apt is exactly how described in photos.
  Location- right in the center of Rhodes town. 10 min walk to the Mandraki port. If arriving from Kolona, Nektaria will help you pre-arrange a taxi. Do not wait until you arrive to call a taxi.
  All shops, restaurants are outside your door. Walk to OLD town is about 10 mins. Easy and flat walk.
  Bathroom- along with all the amenities, i was surprised that even w/ the half shower wall, the water didn't go all over the floor. Nektaria stocks you up very well with extra towels! There was always HOT water!
  Washing Machine- one of the main reasons we booked her place. Drying racks provided!
  Kitchen- spotless. All amenities you need and then some. Nekataria was GENEROUS with snacks and water! We did not need to buy anything extra. Excellent appliances small and large. There was always HOT water!
  Bed- comfortable. Loved that she added a mattress pad/topper for added comfort.
  Parking- free street parking in front of apt. Being downtown, it can be tricky to find. TIP: parking before 8am, after 2-3pm and after 8-9pm. WE never had an issue finding parking as we would be at the beach in the southern part of Rhodes and then return in the evening.
  Balcony- loved the large and spacious, people watching patio!
  Apt is on first floor- you still need to either take stairs or use the elevator. We always opted to take stairs.
  Thank you for everything
  
  What could be improved: Water pressure in the bathroom shower and half shower wall. <– did not impact our stay our comfort 🙂
  Other than this small detail, no issues.

• Maria from Greece – 22 August 2024 (10/10)

  Location was in the heart of the city
  The hostess really helpfull, even had fresh fruits and cold water in the fridge

• Christa from South Africa – 6 August 2024 (10/10)

  Very well located, clean and near the bus station, old town and supermarket

• Serdiuk from Ukraine – 22 July 2024 (10/10)

  It was an incredible experience. Special thanks Nektaria for the service (especially for the wine, water and goodies left for us). Everything was at the highest level. The location of the apartments is very convenient – close to the Elli beach and the Rhodes old town. The apartment was clean and had everything you needed. There are many free parking spaces nearby (which is also no less important if you rent a car).
  
  What could be improved: There was a little weak water pressure, but it did not spoil the overall impression.

• Mediha from Bosnia and Herzegovina – 15 July 2024 (10/10)

  Most importantly the central bus station is not even 2 minutes from the apartment and the buses there go everywhere for way less time than google maps shows or even has (Please make sure to ask the central station for buses since google maps does not every bus data collected, bus going every few minutes from there).
  The fruits, yoghurt and the juice in the fridge left for the guest. It was very clean and the balcony was really nice to be at.

• Kmong from United States – 27 May 2024 (10/10)

  Highly recommended. Very comfortable and satisfying stay. Clean, modern and quiet facility within short walking distance from ferry port, restaurants, grocery stores, and sightseeing locations. Host was super nice, friendly and very helpful. She helped arranged for taxi to airport and was there to make sure we left without any problems.

• Gurhan from Turkey – 24 July 2023 (10/10)

• Kateryna from Ukraine – 21 July 2023 (10/10)

  excellent location of the apartment, in the heart of the city. The beach is 10 minutes walk, we did not use the car. Good soundproofing, air conditioning, a balcony with a beautiful view of the city. Perfect cleanliness, there is everything you need during your stay to feel at home. The hostess, a friendly and good-natured woman, also left us a compliment in the form of fruits, croissants, coffee, tea, water and juice, which is very useful after a long journey. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality. See you soon
