George & Alexandra’s Apartments

George & Alexandra’s Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to George & Alexandra’s Apartments on Ippodamou Street, you immediately get that “I’m in the real Rhodes” feeling. This isn’t some sterile hotel chain — it’s tucked right into the fabric of Rhodes Town‘s old quarter, where locals actually live and work. The building has that authentic Greek island character, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you tried. You’re literally in the heart of everything, which explains why couples give it a perfect 10 for location.

The Perfect Base

What I love about staying here is how you can walk to absolutely everything without feeling like a tourist trapped in a bubble. The medieval Old Town spreads out around you — I mean, you’re talking about a UNESCO World Heritage site right at your doorstep. The Palace of the Grand Master is practically around the corner, and those narrow cobblestone streets with their mix of Byzantine, Ottoman, and medieval architecture become your daily backdrop. But here’s the thing that really matters: you’re close enough to duck back for an afternoon rest or to drop off shopping bags without it being a whole expedition.

The Apartments

The rooms themselves are exactly what you’d want in a place like this — comfortable without trying too hard to be fancy. George and Alexandra clearly know what travelers actually need, and those beds? Well, there’s a reason guests keep raving about getting great sleep here. The apartments have that lived-in comfort that makes you feel more like you’re staying with friends than checking into accommodation. You get proper space to spread out, which is refreshing after dealing with typical cramped hotel rooms on Greek islands.

Living Like a Local

Since these are apartments, you’ve got the freedom to grab groceries from the local markets and prepare your own meals if you want — though honestly, with all the incredible tavernas within walking distance, you might not bother much with cooking. The neighborhood has that perfect mix where you’ll see tourists exploring during the day, but evenings bring out the locals heading to their favorite spots. You know what’s really nice? You can actually find quiet moments here, even in the middle of Rhodes Town, especially if you time your wanderings right.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.4 rating tells the real story — this place just works. George & Alexandra’s Apartments delivers on the fundamentals that matter most: an unbeatable location that puts you in the center of everything, genuinely comfortable accommodations, and that authentic Greek hospitality that makes you want to come back. Couples especially seem to get it — there’s something romantic about having your own little apartment in this historic setting, being able to wander the medieval streets and then retreat to your own space. It’s the kind of place where you spend less time thinking about your accommodation and more time actually enjoying Rhodes.

Exploring Rhodes layers crusader lanes, pine forests, and sunrise swims by ancient agoras.

  Quiet and quirky
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Liz from United Kingdom – 13 June 2025 (10/10)

  Charming and full of character. George and his son are excellent hosts, so helpful and friendly. There are 4 apartments in total, 2 on the ground floor and 2 on the first floor. We had the smaller apartment on the ground floor and we had plenty of space and everything we needed. The shared roof terrace up the windy staircase is really lovely and great for a little relaxation time!

• Sylvia from United States – 5 June 2025 (10/10)

• Laura from Japan – 5 June 2025 (10/10)

  This is a beautiful apartment. With the communal rooftop terrace plus our private one it was a very relaxing place to stay. George was very communicative and helped us whenever we had questions and even helped us organise a taxi to the airport from the property in old town! It saved us dragging our luggage over the cobbles.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!

• Diego from United States – 22 May 2025 (9/10)

  George arranged for a taxi to pick us up and drop us off at the airport for a good price.
  He was very welcoming and friendly when we arrived at the apartment. The charm of the room was exactly what I expected from the pictures. It was clean and there was a good amount of complimentary water provided. Just a short walk away was a cafe where we enjoyed breakfast, and it's close to many dinner options but certainly isn't in the louder, busier parts of the old town.
  
  What could be improved: While the terrace is very beautiful in good weather, it rained for the first half of our stay, and the covering of this space allows for a lot of water to get through, so we were unable to use this outdoor space unfortunately. Also, the small foyer after you enter the front door and the staircase to get to the room are not covered at all, so the rain made that difficult.
  
  I first found this place because I was looking for properties that offered a washing machine, as this was the middle of our entire trip. The machine is small like any European washer, and takes around 1.5-2 hours per load, which may or may not also be the standard. The part which should not be standard is the final spin cycle. Once it reaches this point, the machine begins to violently shake, and even begins jumping forward. In a matter of seconds, the washer had moved 2 feet forward and I thought it was going to unplug itself. We had to hold it in place to stop it from moving and to try and silence the extreme noise it was making. Eventually, we decided to press stop because this final cycle simply would not end. We needed to do two more loads during our stay, which meant we had to time things out so we were back at the apartment to hold the washer at the end of the cycle, which in the end was not all that inconvenient.
  
  The clothes were fine, and it was very helpful that a drying rack was in the room as well. The most inconvenient part of this was that despite doing a cold load of laundry in the late evening, the shower was absolutely freezing that night and we could not use it.
  
  This is a long complaint for me to still leave a 9 rating, I just want the owner and future guests to know the situation. If it can't be fixed, just do your laundry right before you leave for breakfast and come back when you're done eating. Looking back, my wife and I still have a good laugh about it and our stay was certainly not ruined by this.

• Neil from Australia – 19 May 2025 (8/10)

  We stayed in the studio apartment on the ground floor and were very happy with it. It was quite roomy, made bigger by having the shared courtyard at the door. It was well equipped for home cooking, had a nice shower and an incredibly comfortable bed. George and his family were wonderful hosts, flexible to meet our changed circumstances, attentive and proactive. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again.

• Kirsten from Australia – 6 May 2025 (9/10)

  Beautifully decorated apartment with a relaxing quiet balcony.
  
  What could be improved: Steep stairs up to our room.

• Dimitris from United Kingdom – 24 April 2025 (10/10)

  Fantastic apartment with tons of character that was also excellent value for money. The lovely terrace was perfect for enjoying breakfast in the morning and relaxing after a day of walking in the old town. The host was really kind and helped us with our luggage to and from the gate of the old town. The apartment was really tastefully decorated.

• Lismountain from Spain – 11 April 2025 (10/10)

  Right in the centre of old town but on a quiet sidestreet. Had everything you need if you wanted to be self catering! Very clean. Very quiet. Good quality sleep. Super friendly hosts there if you needed them but not intrusive.
  
  What could be improved: The weather! 😄😄
