Where to Stay in Rhodes Old Town, Rhodes

Good for

• Couples
• First-time visitors
• Architecture lovers

Couples and first-time visitors who want to stay inside Old Town's walls in a genuinely historic building, with an easy walk to the Street of the Knights and the harbor.

Why we like it

• Set inside a roughly 800-year-old former market building, with the kind of stone walls and vaulted spaces a purpose-built hotel can't replicate
• A large enclosed courtyard set against the medieval city wall, used for breakfast and as a quiet spot away from the street
• A short, flat walk to the Street of the Knights, the harbor, and most of Old Town's restaurants
• Individually shaped rooms that follow the irregular layout of the historic building, rather than a uniform modern floor plan

What to know

• The historic building's layout means some rooms are reached via stairs, with no elevator — worth flagging if stairs are a concern
• Old Town's cobbled streets right outside make wheeled luggage slower going than on a paved street

Good for

• Couples
• Architecture lovers

Couples looking for a small, design-forward stay inside the walls, with real medieval-to-Ottoman architectural layers rather than a generic boutique fit-out.

Why we like it

• Only 6 suites, in a late-15th-century building with limestone walls, beamed wooden ceilings, and granite detailing from its Knights-era origins
• An additional floor added by Ottoman-era residents after 1522 gives the building a genuinely layered architectural history, not a single-period restoration
• Small enough that the stay feels personal rather than routed through a large front desk
• A central position on Perikleous Street puts most of Old Town's sights within a short walk

What to know

• With only 6 suites, the property books out quickly in peak season
• As with most Old Town buildings, expect stairs and uneven historic floors rather than a fully modern, accessible layout
