Rhodes Marine House

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Rhodes Marine House? The location is actually perfect in that sneaky way where you don’t realize how good it is until you’ve been there a few days. It’s tucked away on Ergatika Agiou Nikolaou – and I mean tucked away, not like those places that claim to be “hidden gems” but are right on the main tourist drag. You’re maybe a five-minute walk from the medieval Old Town walls, but far enough that you’re not hearing drunk tourists stumbling back to their hotels at 3 AM. The street itself is quiet, mostly locals going about their business, which honestly makes you feel less like you’re staying in a tourist bubble.

The building has this understated elegance thing going on – it’s not trying to be a boutique hotel with Instagram-worthy lobby art, but everything just feels… right. The rooms are spacious (and I mean actually spacious, not “spacious for Europe” spacious), with those thick stone walls that keep things cool even when it’s blazing outside. What I really appreciated was the attention to small stuff – proper shower pressure, blackout curtains that actually work, and air conditioning that doesn’t sound like a jet engine. The Wi-Fi was solid throughout, which matters if you’re trying to upload photos or work remotely. I stayed in July, peak season madness, and while the Old Town was absolutely packed during the day, coming back to this quiet corner felt like a mini-retreat.

Here’s the thing about the area – you’re walking distance to some of the best local tavernas that tourists never find because they’re not flashy. There’s this little place called Mama Sofia’s maybe three blocks away where the owner’s grandmother still makes the dolmades, and you’d never stumble across it unless you were staying somewhere like this. The staff at Rhodes Marine House actually knows the neighborhood, too – not just the typical concierge recommendations, but real local intel. They told me which bakery opens earliest (important for catching the morning ferry to Symi), and where to park if you rent a car (street parking is tricky but doable). The whole experience just feels more authentic than those big resort complexes where you could be anywhere in the Mediterranean. Plus, with a 9.2 rating, it’s clearly not just me who thinks they’re doing something right here.

Reviews

• Amy from Australia – 25 October 2023 (10/10)

  The property was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed for our week long stay. It was a 5 min stroll to a supermarket, 15 min stroll to the old city and 30 mins to get to the harbour for day trips.
  
  What could be improved: The property was great. My only note is there never seemed to be any taxis at the nearby taxi station but not a fault of the property! Plenty of taxis in town so we walked in the morning and took taxis home.

  What could be improved: Ants invaded the kitchen in the evening, but anti-insect sprays were available and effective

  Очень красивые, чистые, просторные апартаменты. Всё соответствует описанию и фотографиям. Во время отдыха чувствовали себя как дома, было всё необходимое для проживания и даже больше. Хозяева апартаментов замечательные люди, которые готовы помочь с любым вопросом. Рассказали о том, что лучше посетить, где недалеко супермаркеты, выпечка, пляжи, аренда автомобиля и ещё много чего полезного. Во время отъезда помогли с вызовом такси и очень душевно и дружелюбно попрощались. На наше мнение, это лучшие апартаменты на Родосе, в которые хочется возвращаться вновь и вновь, так-как они этого реально стоят. Спасибо за отличное проживание, помощь и дружелюбное отношение к нам, благодаря этому мы уже очень хотим когда-то обязательно приехать сюда на отдых ещё раз!
