Ibiscus Hotel

"Stayed at the Ibiscus for 12 days in October. This was our seventh visit to this hotel as we love Rhodes and this hotel is perfectly located just 10 to 15 minutes walk to the Old Town and harbours. An October stay means that you get average 25 degrees temperature with little chance of rain (we had just one wet day in the 12). The best thing about the hotel is the staff who are all extremely friendly and helpful at all times. The food is good and the drinks reasonably priced. The hotel does not pride itself on its outdoor pool which is extremely small and doesn't get much sun so sun worshippers need to cross the road to the beach. The rooms are spacious and the best views are on floor 5 overlooking the square and the sea - they get the sun in the afternoon."

"Pros Rooms are beautiful but small Showers fantastic . The hotel is spotlessly clean The breakfast has a wide variety of food to suit everyone and available from 7am - 10.30am which was great . Beds are super comfy and an abundance of pillows . Cons After reading reviews about people losing items i purchased lock for my suitcase but what happened was far more disturbing than losing something. I returned from beach on Sunday at 1pm , housekeeping had been in and cleaned room , made the bed etc . I decided to have a nap and slept for 2 hours , later on about to leave the room i noticed my white key card gone from the slot and replaced with a grey staff master card - so someone had let themselves into the room while I was sleeping !!! No one called out or identified themselves or i would have woke up .totally freaked out i went down to reception and handed over the Mastercard and told them that one of their staff had let themselves into my room while I was sleeping , they shrugged and smiled no big deal they say , only theory I can come up with , this person intended to use my own key card to return to take items and it would be my card showing up as entering the door not the staff - never slept at night after that , even wedged my suitcase against the door when I was in the room and everything no matter what was locked in suitcase and taking my room card scar hours after they had cleaned my room was very worrying"

"My family actually intended to have lunch at the beach restaurant "Azul" a few minutes walk away. But the eye-watering prices there put us off - beers 8 to 10 euros, salads at 20 euros, sunbeds from 10 to 30! - so we had lunch here on the terrace at Ibiscus instead and it was fine. Sensible prices - we had two mains and a dip. Along with 3 drinks - a small beer, half a litre of wine and a coke - the bill came to 45 euros. Service was fine."
