The Knights Courtyard

The Knights Courtyard Overview

First Impressions

Walking through the medieval streets of Rhodes Town, you’ll stumble upon The Knights Courtyard tucked away on Menekleous Street — and honestly, the location couldn’t be more perfect. This place sits right in the heart of the Old Town, where cobblestone paths wind between ancient walls and you can practically feel the history under your feet. The moment you step inside, there’s this immediate sense of being somewhere special, though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why until you start exploring the neighborhood.

Location & Neighborhood

I mean, when couples consistently rate the location 9.7 out of 10, you know something’s working. You’re literally surrounded by some of Rhodes’ most iconic spots — the Palace of the Grand Master is just a short stroll away, and the famous Street of the Knights feels like your backyard. What I love about this area is how you can duck into a traditional taverna for lunch, then wander over to the medieval walls for sunset views, all within minutes of your room. The Old Town can get busy during the day with cruise ship visitors, but once evening rolls around, it transforms into this magical, lamp-lit maze that feels like you have it all to yourself.

The Experience

The Knights Courtyard manages to capture that authentic Rhodes atmosphere without feeling like a tourist trap. You know what strikes me most? It’s how the property blends into the medieval fabric of the town — you’re not staying at some modern hotel that feels out of place, but rather somewhere that feels like it belongs here. The courtyard itself (as the name suggests) becomes this peaceful retreat where you can escape the midday heat, which is actually crucial during summer months when the stone streets can get pretty intense.

Getting Around

Here’s the thing about staying in the Old Town — you barely need to “get around” at all. Everything worth seeing is within walking distance, from the Archaeological Museum to the bustling Socratous Street with its shops and cafes. When you do want to venture beyond the medieval walls, the New Town and Mandraki Harbor are just a 10-minute walk away. The beach at Elli is easily reachable on foot too, which is perfect when you want to cool off after exploring all those ancient sites under the Greek sun.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.8 rating speaks volumes, but what really sets this place apart is how it lets you live like a local in one of Greece’s most historic settings. You’ll find yourself taking evening walks along the medieval walls, discovering hidden corners that most visitors never see, and actually feeling connected to this incredible UNESCO World Heritage site. The location means you can experience Rhodes Town at different times of day — the bustling morning energy, the quiet afternoon siesta hours, and those magical evening moments when the ancient stones glow golden in the lamplight. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even left.

To book hotel in Rhodes for Medieval Rose Festival nights, travelers claim Old Town terraces pairing lyre concerts with lantern-lit alleys.

  What could be improved: –

• Maria from United Kingdom – 14 September 2024 (9/10)

  Very centrally located in the hub-bub of the old town , outdoor space to relax and had all the amenities required for a holiday break. Owners were very welcoming and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Due to the location there is often noise during the night/ early morning. It didn’t bother us too much but we couldn’t leave the windows open at night.

• Mia from United Kingdom – 31 August 2024 (10/10)

  Great location and very spacious. Has a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms (one double, two singles) and a bathroom. There is also a terrace area to sit in the sun. Location is ideal and minutes away from shops and the main centre. We were only here for a night but enjoyed it and Barbara and Alex were extremely helpful and accommodating, including letting us leave our luggage in a storage area after check out.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing to be aware of is that it is next to a restaurant which has music at night. The windows have shutters which are helpful although you can hear it until around 12. We didn’t find it too much of a problem and this is to be expected anywhere this central! Overall a great stay with fantastic hosts.

• Владислав from Bulgaria – 20 June 2024 (10/10)

  A lovely large home with an interior garden in the heart of the old town with an extremely warm host. Barbara, thank you!

• Leeann from United States – 2 June 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well appointed, right in the heart of the old town. It has been in the owner's family for some time, and feels like a home in the best way. There was a private patio and a cool view from the roof. We loved being able to do laundry, and – Americans take note – there was a drip coffee maker with filters and ground coffee in the fridge! Big windows with leafy views of several tavernas right below, so lots of live traditional music and good food. We enjoyed Romeos. Also, Barbara the host, was wonderful.
  
  What could be improved: Those tavernas stay open late and deliveries start early, so bring good earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

• Katarzyna from Finland – 15 May 2024 (10/10)

  Communication with the host was easy, he answered all questions very quickly. We arrived in the middle of the night, there was no problem with collecting the keys, Alex was waiting for us. A beautiful terrace encouraged us to spend time outside. The location in the middle of the Old Town is perfect. I recommend!

• Day from United Kingdom – 3 May 2024 (10/10)

  We had a very warm welcome. It's an amazing apartment in a great location. It has everything you could possibly need. The sunny terrace is just lovely too.

• Alper from Turkey – 13 April 2024 (10/10)

  location, facilities, cleanliness, everything was great. All attractions, cafes, port etc are in walking distance. Alex, Barbara and Dimitri made us feel at home. If we come back to Rhodes, we will definitely stay here again.
  
  What could be improved: It would be perfect if there was a small coffee machine 🙂

• Bunn from Greece – 5 November 2023 (10/10)

  Absolutely amazing, right in the heart of the old city, restaurants, museums & shopping all a stones throw away. Residence was a house with a beautiful courtyard for wine nights. So impressed with Barbaras welcome and local knowledge that I am coming back.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing it was beautiful
