Emerald Dream House

Emerald Dream House Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Emerald Dream House on Omirou Street, you’ll notice it doesn’t scream “hotel” from the outside — and that’s actually part of its charm. This unassuming property sits right in the thick of Rhodes Town’s medieval quarter, where you’re literally surrounded by centuries-old stone walls and narrow cobblestone streets. I mean, you can’t get more central than this without sleeping in the Palace of the Grand Masters itself. The entrance has that authentic Greek island feel, nothing fancy or overdone, just honest hospitality in one of the most coveted spots on the island.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about Rhodes Town — location is everything, and Emerald Dream House nailed it. You’re a two-minute walk from the main shopping street, maybe three minutes to the harbor where all the boat trips depart. The Medieval City walls? Right there. Those Instagram-worthy sunset spots everyone talks about? You can stumble to them after dinner without breaking a sweat. What I love most is that couples consistently rate this location a 9.4 out of 10, and honestly, I get it — there’s something romantic about wandering these ancient streets together, then having your cozy base just steps away from all the action.

The Accommodation Experience

Don’t expect five-star frills here, but what you get is clean, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming. The rooms have that simple Greek island aesthetic — white walls, traditional touches, and everything you actually need without the stuff you don’t. Air conditioning works well (crucial in Rhodes summers), and the beds are comfortable enough that you’ll sleep soundly despite being in the heart of a bustling tourist area. The bathrooms are compact but functional, and you know what? When you’re spending most of your time exploring this incredible city, you really just need a good place to rest and refresh.

Living Like a Local

What struck me most about staying here is how quickly you feel like part of the neighborhood rather than just another tourist. The staff knows the area inside and out — they’ll point you toward the little tavernas where locals actually eat, not just the tourist traps on the main drag. You’ll start recognizing the shopkeepers on your street, maybe grab your morning coffee from the same little café each day. There’s something special about returning “home” each evening through those medieval gates, feeling like you’ve got your own little corner of this ancient city.

Why Guests Love It

The 7.7 rating tells the real story here — this isn’t about fancy amenities or Instagram-perfect lobbies. People love Emerald Dream House because it delivers exactly what matters most: an unbeatable location at a fair price with genuine Greek hospitality. You’re getting authentic Rhodes Town living without the premium price tag of the boutique hotels. For couples especially, there’s something magical about having this medieval wonderland as your backyard, being able to wander romantic cobblestone streets whenever the mood strikes, then retreat to your comfortable base when you need to recharge for another day of island adventures.

Reviews of Emerald Dream House

• Nadia from South Africa – 2 June 2025 (7/10)

  Loved the location and Jannis went out of his way to assist us . Very helpful and friendly . Very responsive to our messages.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen appliances and kitchenware were very tired and old . Fridge needs replacing and crockery insufficient for an apartment that can host 5people . Although there was small stove provided it was inside a cupboard and did not look like it was functioning . With a small amount of money all of these could be rectified which would make the apartment really nice .
  Access to the property along the cobble roads was a challenge !

• David from South Africa – 27 April 2025 (8/10)

  Brilliant location in the old town, but close enough to walls to walk out and meeet taxi to airport
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately google maps doesn’t pick up exact location, gets you close. Message host when you are incoming and he comes and fetches you

• Oben from Czech Republic – 25 April 2025 (9/10)

  Host is amazing. Very responsive. very accommodating. the place is really clean. great location. the rooftop has amazing view. silent street. spacious room, spacious bathroom. great internet.
  
  What could be improved: the kitchen was under equipped. the accommodation was 2 max 3 people, so it most probably has enough 2-3 spoons forks glasses but, not much backup. this is the slightest small insignificant feedback.

• Calvin from United Kingdom – 1 September 2024 (7/10)

  Great location. Easy access to the port for ferries to other islands.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom is accessed through one of the bedrooms, so it’s difficult for the other occupants!

• Despina from Australia – 26 June 2024 (9/10)

  Location was good, located near many restaurants, shops in quirky streets. The property had everything we needed including the little extras such as body soap etc which came in handy. Met the owner and he was very friendly and welcoming. Loved the traditional design of the property.
  
  What could be improved: Bathroom window not private, anyone upstairs can see in from the terrace. Needs a curtain or some cover.

• Andrew from United Kingdom – 29 May 2024 (8/10)

  Lovely host, great location, large apartment, classic and traditional in look and feel. Didn’t venture to roof space excellent host, good communication
  
  What could be improved: No hook for shower. Very limited tea and coffee and toiletries.

• Bjorn from Norway – 9 May 2024 (8/10)

  The location in a quite area, the roof teracce was nice, and the host very friendly.
  
  What could be improved: Well, it was hard to do descent washing of the plates, glasses and so on. Abd two wine glasses in a flat for four people? And there should be repair of the beds on the roof teracce.

• Rodrigo from Netherlands – 8 November 2023 (9/10)

  Very good location in the heart of the city. Nice terrace if you like to wake up and have a coffee outside
  
  What could be improved: No kitchen if you want to cook at home.

• Wayne from United Kingdom – 3 July 2023 (9/10)

  It was an amazing location, right in the centre of the old town. Jon is the host, he was very helpful and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for him. The apartment was large, it was pretty basic but had everything we needed, and it was also spotless. It had a lovely rooftop terrace, this was a suntrap, with views of the other rooftops across the old town.
  
  What could be improved: The sunlounges/chairs on the rooftop terrace, could do with repairing or replacing.

• Marianne from United States – 21 November 2022 (9/10)

  Phenomenal place in the heart of old town. The perfect spot if you are looking for the authentic Rhodes experience. Our host was friendly, accommodating, and communicative! He offered to spruce the place up on our second day.
  
  The private rooftop added to the magic. Very spacious for two people… Two large bedrooms, and a main room/foyer. Many windows allowing the natural sounds of old town to spill in.
  
  Would definitely stay here again on our next visit!
  
  What could be improved: Only downside was the lack of a sink in the kitchen, and no coffee. Chairs on the roof need updating (small rips).
