Rhodes: Cruise to Symi & St George's Bay with Hotel Transfer
"Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely food, very fresh, I ate 3 times a day every day due to recuperating from surgery and unable to walk a long way.
There is a fair bit of noise at night from outside but not a lot the hotel can do about that.
Rooms were cleaned daily and towels replaced when required.
Plenty of sunbeds to go round, I never had a problem getting one.
Pool is very refreshing but was never crowded."
"Everything was perfect. The room, the welcome, and service and the delicious breakast in the courtyard every morning. It was all so relaxing.
The staff were extremely helpful in offering sightseeing advice and in arranging transport for us when needed. Also a big plus that they have their own golf cart to get you into the car-free old town and to the hotel so you don't have to drag suitcases across the cobbles! Most impressive of all was the genuine friendliness of all the team who made us...
"This is a fantastic hotel. We had originally booked into the wine suites, but they had a spare room available in the hotel and thought that would be better for us as a family of four. Very thoughtful. The rooms are spotless and the staff very friendly. On our departure, they drove us to the old Town gates to make it easier for us with luggage as we were catching an early ferry. We would definitely book again."
"Very welcoming from the outset. The hotel is located inside the walls of the old town and you cannot drive up to the door of hotel. Parking is available outside of the old town walls. The hotel contacted me to ask when i was arriving and scheduled staff to meet me at my car in a golf cart for a short ride to the hotel with our luggage. Each morning the breakfast was light and healthy, but hearty in my opinion. Hotel staff was eager to make it right for all of us. The opportunity to stay...
"Room was spotless on Arrival, And we were early! And Reception did all they could to get us in our room ASAP (3 hours earlier than actual check in time!)
Staff were all lovely and helpful when needed, Polite and well spoken, from reception staff to the cleaners and the guys dealing with Breakfast.
Air Con was ice cold and already on in the room when we arrived in it, and was included in the price.
Hotel is handy for everything Rhodes - as you are pretty much in the middle of everything...
"Beautiful, quaint little experience. Small, cozy, gardens, just perfect for the area. We booked as we got off the ferry, walked, and the host met us kindly , took our bags ton our room, and when I told him we would be leaving before breakfast in the morning he brought us sandwiches .. and drinks for our fridge so we would have food when we left. This morning the hostess was also very kind )"
