Utopia Luxury Suites – Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Utopia Luxury Suites? It’s actually tucked right into the medieval maze of Old Town Rhodes, but somehow they’ve managed to create this incredibly peaceful bubble. I mean, you’re literally steps away from the tourist chaos on Sokratous Street, but once you’re inside, it feels like you’ve discovered some secret hideaway that most visitors completely miss.

The location on Menekleous is honestly perfect if you know anything about Rhodes Town. You’re close enough to walk to the Palace of the Grand Masters in about three minutes, but far enough from the main drag that you won’t hear cruise ship crowds at 7 AM. The staff actually gave me this little insider tip about cutting through the back alleys to reach Mandraki Harbor – saved me probably 10 minutes of weaving through tourist groups every time I wanted to grab coffee by the water. And speaking of coffee, there’s this tiny local place called Koykos just around the corner that serves the best freddo espresso I’ve had in Greece (the hotel folks told me about it, not something you’d find in any guidebook).

What really sets this place apart though is how they’ve balanced the whole luxury thing without losing the authentic Rhodes vibe. The suites themselves are spacious – I’m talking actual room to spread out your stuff, which is rare in Old Town where most places are converted medieval buildings with cramped quarters. The air conditioning works like a dream, which honestly matters more than you’d think when you’re dealing with those sweltering July afternoons. I loved that they’ve kept some of the original stone walls and architectural details, so you still feel like you’re staying somewhere with history, not just another generic hotel room. The bathroom was surprisingly modern and well-designed – good water pressure, plenty of hot water, all those little touches that make you feel pampered after a long day of exploring.

Parking can be tricky in Old Town (well, it’s basically impossible), but they sorted that out for me without any hassle. Check-in was smooth, and the front desk team seemed to genuinely know the island – not just the typical tourist spots, but actual local recommendations. They pointed me toward this family-run taverna in Lindos that ended up being one of my best meals of the trip. The 9.8 rating honestly makes sense once you’re there – it’s not just about fancy amenities, it’s about how everything works together to make your stay effortless. You’re in the heart of one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval towns, you’ve got modern comfort and genuinely helpful service, and you’re paying reasonable rates for what you get. Sometimes the simple formula is the best one.

• Bruce from Australia – 13 June 2025 (10/10)

  The property was in excellent condition & inside a gated area, so very private.
  However, very close to restaurants, shops and sight seeing.
  It is away from the cruise boat harbour, & the crowds that arrive on the ships.
  
  Our hosts were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble.
  Thank you Effie!!
  
  What could be improved: We loved everything about the property.

• Lisa from United Kingdom – 2 June 2025 (10/10)

  Absolutely beautiful place with everything you could want and more. Perfect hosts who are so friendly and helpful. The breakfast, what can I say but WOW it’s delicious and so much. We are looking at booking again and highly recommend staying at Utopia Luxury Suites. They are centrally located to everything you will need. We were given all the information we could need before arrival, they also sorted our taxi from the airport including a buggy from the entrance of the walled city to our accommodation. They also sorted the buggy to come and collect us on our departure.

  Effie and Yunnis were fabulous hosts and they did everything to make our stay as happy as possible. They really looked after us and we appreciate that they went out of their way to give us a helping hand when we needed transport on one day.

• Julie from Spain – 24 May 2025 (10/10)

  Absolutely fantastic stay our room was beautiful and spotlessly clean,we had the Junior Pool Suite and we loved it. We needed a quiet holiday to recharge and we were so looked after by Effie, Giannis and Retta.We have never met such lovely,warm friendly people, nothing was too much trouble,they even sorted a rubber safety shower mat for added security on the tiled floor as my husband has had a hip replacement and it made him feel more secure.
  The breakfasts were wonderful we had a different choice everyday,all fresh and beautifully prepared and delivered with a smile by Retta.
  We had a wonderful time and sad to leave however we have booked to return. Thank you so much for a memorable stay.

• Noel from United Kingdom – 12 May 2025 (10/10)

  The location is perfect for dining and sightseeing in the old town. Our room had a converted ancient water cistern which served as our own private pool. All was in pristine condition and very cool.
  
  Shower and bathroom could not have been better and our bed was big and comfortable.
  
  However, the best thing was the unbelievable breakfasts. Something different everyday and always traditional. Effie even provided a packed breakfast when we had to leave early for our ferry. And she gave us a lift to the port!! We would love to return one day.
  
  Thank you Effie, Giannis and, of course, Retta. You made our time in Rhodes special and unforgettable.

• Geraldine from United Kingdom – 7 May 2025 (10/10)

  Absolutely spotlessly clean, very good quality mattress on the bed, I slept really well. Breakfast was delivered every morning with good quality food and lots of variety. Considering the location is right in the middle of Rhodes old town it was very quiet and peaceful. Hosts very accommodating and friendly, felt like seeing old friends by the end of the week. Pool area was lovely and secluded a real sun trap. Kitchen is well equipped and water, coffee and juice replaced each day. Loved the whole week here and can't wait to go back! Exceptional.
  
  What could be improved: Can not find any faults and I am really picky!
