Stavros Melathron Studios

This hotel is very good. It's only recorded as 2 stars, but this is only due to no bar of food served at it. Less than a 2 minute walk, and you have all the bars and restaurants you need. The pool is lovely, the rooms are exceptional. Thet are clean, and have anti mosquito nets on all the doors and windows. I literally did not see one insect in our room fpr our ten day stay. The room is cleaned every day, and you get a  filtered coffee machine in your room, along with a kettle, microwave,  toaster, hob, and plates and cutlery. This is a gem of a hotel based right next to restaurants and bars, and the local bus stop which can take you into Rhodes in 15 minutes.  Lovely beaches close by to walk to . No hidden extras either. Well above the 2 star rating, and nice and quite.

Well, what can I say, arrived back home a few days ago from an absolutely stunning holiday at these apartments in Rhodes. First of all, they are spotless, not just clean but absolutely sparkling. The lovely lady who serviced the rooms worked tirelessly and was very friendly and chatty. The rooms are a very good size with excellent air conditioning (temp outside was 37) and had a great fully equiped kitchen with every appliance you could possibly need and a huge fridge freezer. The pool and area around it was sublime. A lovely citrus fruit orchard at one end and a lush green lawn to one side,which was cut with little roomba style automatic lawnmowers, kids were fascinated.. The pool itself was spotless too and deep enough for a proper swim if you wanted to. With only 20 appartments, the pool was very quiet, and indeed, on a couple of afternoons we had it to ourselves. The location of the apartments was a rather nice bonus. They are down a private drive, a little away from the road, so were pretty quiet being away from bars and restaurants. At the top of the drive, very conveniently, is a bus stop (F11 if you look on Google maps). This was absolutely brilliant as it allowed you to go into Rhodes town in under 15 mins or go to the waterpark in about 20 mins (bus stop other side of the road (F12) for under 3 Euros per adult. The buses run every 20 minutes in both directions until about midnight. Save you money as you don't really need to bother with taxis. We caught the bus to Lindos for 5.50 each way (taxi is 62) and Butterfly valley (2.50 bus into Rhodes town, then a connection for 5.00.) All the restaurants around the hotel are really great, we never had a bad meal out. Ouzokamomata Greek Tapas did some incredible grills, Christos Family Taverna did lovely authentic salads and fresh made pizzas, and the Tsampis & family bakery did great filled sandwiches, cakes and coffee. Thanks again to this wonderful family run hotel who were always friendly and couldn't be more helpful when I asked for anything. Our pickup on our last day wasn't until 8.30pm at night, but the lovely owner said we could stay in the room at no charge until we left. I can definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here next time I came to Rhodes.

Absolutely lovely little hotel. Quiet and peaceful. A great base to get to Rhodes town. Savvas can't do enough for you and we had a lovely time. The local bars and restaurants are great too. There's not a huge amount of local stuff but what there is, is excellent. Highly recommend Stavros Melathron.
