Tsampika Hotel

"We arrived late evening and were met with the friendliest of Greek welcomes. We had a minor issue with the room which meant we needed to stay in an alternate room for our 1st night, this was bigger than our booked room - and was sorted by early the next morning. The hotel itself is really lovely and is enhanced by the family that runs its. They were all very friendly and happy to assist and very chatty. The All Inclusive is in my opinion more than ample, plenty of options and all of a good standard. The one criticism would be the coffee…..I am a coffee snob and instant just does not cut it for me but for many other people I know it’s fine and it was by no means the worst coffee I have had in a hotel. The pool area was brilliant and a lovely space to spend time. We could have spent twice as much staying in another hotel but I doubt we would have had such a lovely and enjoyable experience as we had staying here. It’s definitely one to be repeated the next time we are in Rhodes."

"I'm going to be honest! I booked the hotel 8 months before arrival in May. I saw some horrendous reviews that prompted me to look for another hotel , but prices for all inclusive were far more expensive at other hotels. So felt for the sake of a week's holiday, we would bite the bullet and risk going . We arrived , the owner an elderly gentleman and his daughter were on the reception desk . They were very friendly and helpful. The room was basic , but clean, and had what you needed. The TV didn't provide channels , but wasn't a deal breaker! There is a fridge which is unusual for an all inclusive hotel Every where was clean and tidy. Our room was cleaned every day, including daily fresh towels. The drinks were mostly served by the daughters husband, and he works long hours. The all inclusive drinks were very good! The food was also very good , yes some times a little repetitive, but it's a family business, and a majority of hotels do the same to save money, why waste it? Some people expect gold for bronze prices!!! There wasn't any entertainment, but for us that was ok, and we were there in low season. The pool is a decent size! There are plenty of sun loungers, and free towels to use . I hope you enjoy your holiday at this hotel like we did!"

"When we arrived, we was given a tiny room that smelt funny like of dust, had a terrible view, and looked nothing like the modern, clean photos shown online. It feels like the hotel only has a few nice rooms for their pictures, and the rest are old, run-down, and completely different to what’s advertised. We asked to move rooms but the second one was just as bad. The hairdryer came off the wall when I tried to use it, and one of the plug sockets had wires sticking out when unplugging something – which is a serious safety issue. The floor was so dirty it turned our feet black after walking on it, and even after they “cleaned”, they left a dead bug on our bedding. On top of that, our room wasn’t cleaned at all for three days. The light bulbs were sticking out the top of the lampshades, and the “blackout curtains” didn’t block out any light at all. The bathroom was awful – there was no shower curtain, so the floor got soaked every time we showered, and the drains smelt absolutely terrible. My friend slipped over and felt like she had concussion. The food was another huge disappointment. It smelt awful, didn’t taste nice, and there was hardly any choice. We ended up avoiding it altogether after the first try. The jacuzzi was never on during our stay and even other guests said wonder if you have to pay to turn it on lol, no one expected any better clearly. To get between the buildings, it required walking up/down a metal slope, which felt unstable and in areas it felt like it bent. Overall, this hotel is completely misrepresented online. It’s dirty, outdated and badly maintained even though they say it was renovated in 2017 and is modern. Not at all. Definitely not worth the money – I wouldn’t recommend staying here at all."
