The Best Boutique Hotels in Rhodes Old Town
I sorted the hotels geographically by distance from the Grand Master Palace. Note: this doesn’t mean that the hotels that are far from the Grandmaster Palace are in a worst position. As you can see from our Rhodes Old Town self guided walking tour, there are many things to see in the whole town, and every alley has its own charm and story to discover.
Also, there are several parking spots all around the walls, so if you are considering the walking distance to leave your rented car, consider the distance from the nearest gate. For example, if you are staying in Helios Garden Boutique, Saint Athanasios Gate is closer. While Kokkini Porta Rossa is just a few meters away from Saint John’s Red Gate.
You can locate the different hotels on the map below.
The following comparative table will help you get a global idea of the hotels in a glimpse. For more in-detail information on each hotel, go to the dedicated paragraph. If you want to check the dates/book a hotel, just click on the link.
All hotels include breakfast. Breakfast is commonly served in a designated area, a courtyard or your room. It isn’t a buffet breakfast, but it’s still very abundant and delicious. Try the yogurt with honey and fruits, you’ll thank me later! 😉

Utopia Luxury Suites
❤️ Guests loved: the abundant breakfast and the hosts, Effi and Yiannis.
Perfectly blending the medieval atmosphere with a Middle Eastern twist, Utopia Luxury Suites offer a delightful solution to those who want to explore Rhodes, while maintaining a certain independence. The suites are mini apartments equipped with kitchens.
The Junior Suite has a small private pool that was an ancient cistern, perfect to cool off after a long day of exploration. While in the King Suite, there is a jacuzzi. You can also rent a bike to explore the area and some of the closest sites.
The owner is an interior designer, and you can see the attention she puts into every detail while decorating each suite. The result is a beautiful blend between the ancient and new.
At Utopia Luxury Suites, breakfast is homemade and very abundant. There are cakes, omelettes and pies but also the typical Greek yogurt.
For an additional fee, the hotel provides with massage sessions.

Saint Artemios Boutique Hotel
❤️ Guests loved: the calm atmosphere and the host, Maria.
It’s hard to believe that Saint Artemios Boutique Hotel is situated just a few minutes from the crowded Sokratus Street. And yet this charming boutique hotel is just a few meters away from all the main town’s attractions, in a calm alley.
Saint Artemios Hotel takes its name from the medieval church that you can admire in the main courtyard. In the same private courtyard, you can also chill on the comfortable outdoor sofas, or enjoy breakfast in the morning in a peaceful location.
The boutique hotel is located in two different buildings. An original medieval building that has modern and large rooms with stone floors and walls, while a new separate building welcomes the oriental decorated rooms.
The rooms have a rustic-chic vibe given by the use of earthy colors and the exposed wooden beams.

Ellique Hotel (adults only)
❤️ Guests loved: the delicious breakfast and the host, Elli.
Orange, yellow, green, and blue are the names (in Greek) of the 4 large rooms inside Ellique Hotel. Quite obviously, each room respects the color code given by its name, which is a nice aesthetic touch.
The location is in a quiet cobblestone street not far from Sokratus Street, and it has easy access to all the main attractions in the town. Ellique Hotel has an adult-only policy. Children are welcome from 12 years old.
The attention to detail is one of the main strengths of this boutique hotel. The host Elli is very attentive and helpful, and provides good tips for visiting Rhodes.
The minibar service is included in the room price and is refilled daily. For an additional fee, you can rent bicycles and tour the town and surroundings.

S. Nikolis Boutique Hotel
❤️ Guests loved: the authenticity of the location and the host, Nikos.
Situated in the south-western side of Rhodes Old Town, S. Nikolis Boutique Hotel is located inside a medieval sandstone building, built by the Knights of St John. The area is even more ancient as the hotel rises on the 2000-year-old remains of the Ancient Agora. Good to know: the closest entrance is Saint Athanasios Gate.
The rooms of S. Nikolis are in two different buildings. The reception and some of the rooms are situated in a 14th century building. While the rest of the rooms are housed in a 1522 knight’s residence, which is about 100 meters away from the hotel main building.
What makes S. Nikolis stand out is the unique step-back-in-time atmosphere and setting. Take the furniture for example: inside the Superior Suite there is a beautifully handmade wooden queen-sized bed.
Even if the rooms respect the medieval character, the hotel has a few comfortable surprises, like the private jacuzzi that is in some of the rooms.

Helios Garden Boutique Apartments
❤️ Guests loved: the serene garden and the hosts, Jay and Meike.
German/Dutch couple Jay and Meike have renovated a house and transformed it into three lovely apartments that can be an ideal pied-à-terre during your trip to Rhodes.
The apartments are tastefully renovated and fully equipped. The surfaces variate from 32 m² to 44 m² to grant you all the comfort and place you need.
The interiors with the natural stone exposed are rustic but absolutely welcoming, and the three apartments have a welcoming and cozy vibe. My favorite touch? Naming the apartments after the God of the Sun (Ilios), the Goddess of the moon (Selini), and the Goddess of the dawn (Eos).
One of the highlights of Helios Garden Boutique Apartments is the lush garden where you can have breakfast or dine. Helios Garden Boutique Apartments only serves breakfast, but you always can cook in your apartment’s equipped kitchen. The communal courtyard also has a sundeck area and a lounge.

Kokkini Porta Rossa (adults only)
❤️ Guests loved: the beautiful setting and the hosts, Nikos and Angela.
An elegant and authentic space, Kokkini Porta Rossa is a 5 stars boutique hotel situated next to St. John’s Gate. The hotel used to be a big house under the Ottoman Empire, that welcomed Greek, Turkish and Jewish families.
Tastefully decorated and renovated, the hotel includes 6 large luxurious suites each with unique features and a unique name that recalls some of the people who lived and worked inside the houses.
Guests who are looking for accommodations with a plunge pool should reserve Michalis suite. While the owners recommend Deniz for a romantic stay, the suite has a “hayat” (which translates as “life” from Arabic), which is a wooden roofed balcony that you can admire from outside the hotel.
Did you know? Kokkini translates as “red” from Greek, while porta rossa means red door from Italian.

Trinity Boutique Hotel
❤️ Guests loved: the beautiful setting and the host, Toula.
From the iron entrance gate, Trinity Boutique Hotel immerses its guests in a medieval atmosphere. The Gothic building was constructed by Latvian merchants in the late 15th century.
After the island’s occupation by the Turkish Empire, the first floor was added to give the building the structure it still has today.
Trinity Boutique Hotel has 6 large and modern rooms, some of which have a comfortable jacuzzi to rest after a long day of exploration. Depending on your travel party, you have the choice between couple or family rooms.
In the courtyard you will find a nice small lounge garden where you can have breakfast or simply relax. Trinity Boutique Hotel’s interiors are tastefully decorated and furnished, allowing you to spend some quality time in Rhodes Old Town.
