Lambis Studios and Apartments

"After a two week stay at Lambis Studios, we left feeling disappointed and frustrated and annoyed at the monies spent for this quality of holiday. We were a party of seven across two rooms, and while the rooms were attended to almost daily, the quality of the housekeeping was extremely poor. No folded towel swans like you see in photos from other guests… just dirty towels repeatedly folded and presented as clean for nearly the entire stay, which is unacceptable. Bins were rarely emptied, and in our self catering room the kitchen bin was emptied only once, leaving the space smelling unclean and feeling neglected and unhygienic. The staff were generally deadpan and mostly unhelpful, and things escalated on night two when our pool inflatables were deliberately slashed by the owner. The hotel and all staff denied any knowledge until I mentioned that I had video evidence captured by another guest’s daughter! They eventually offered money to replace them but never apologised for what happened. You’ll see a pile of around 30 slashed inflatables at the end of the poolside, clearly not a one off incident. The pool itself deteriorated as the days went on. It became progressively cloudier, I never saw anyone clean it, and the bottom was slimy underfoot. Not what you expect from a hotel pool in peak season. Food quality varied significantly day to day. Some days were fine, but others felt like they’d been thrown together, microwaved chicken burgers, onion rings, and breaded items simply deep fried and served. We ordered a garlic bread one day and a brioche batch with some garlic butter on arrived, two days later, a fresh bread roll sliced with cheese on! The inconsistency made it difficult to rely on the on site food at all, however, in their defense, none of our party got ill from the food. The rooms are extremely dated, with mould throughout the bathroom and all up the shower curtain and in every corner. Our fridge was broken, and there were many random holes in the walls that made the room feel even more run down. There are apparently newer rooms available but based on the condition of the ones we stayed in, I wouldn’t stay there again to find out. Our balcony door didn’t lock, and for a family room that sleeps four, we had only two old plastic chairs and a wobbly table on the balcony. The safe was just sitting in the wardrobe; thankfully nothing was taken, but it didn’t inspire confidence. We’ve provided honest feedback to Jet2, as the overall experience fell far below expectations. The location may be OK, but the standards, cleanliness, food quality, and attitude of staff need serious improvement. If you haven’t booked yet, I would seriously look elsewhere. Given the prices they are charging - €14 for a breakfast, €16 for a chicken burger, €14 for a salad, €11-€14 for a rum and coke depending on who served it, they are pulling in money at a significant rate, maybe they’re reinvesting… who knows. Perhaps it will be OK in three to five years’ time. This was our fourth year staying in Rhodes, in both Pefkos and Lindos, Lambis Studios was the worst accommodation we’ve experienced we will not be going back to find out."

"We stayed here as a family of 5 (2 teens and one 8 year old). I wasn't too sure what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. Beautifully setting. The family apartments are very basic but clean and very spacious. Great pool, fab atmosphere, and lovely staff. All the staff are so friendly, they work super hard, and always have a smile on their faces. Nothing is too much. The food is great, lots of tasty dishes. The chicken ceasar is delicious! The kids loved the crepes. Fab cocktails too. We did venture out a few times to eat, Leo (the Wolves fan bar tender) was great with recommendations. Great location, literally 5/10 mins walk to Lindos main town, or to the main road to catch a bus into Rhodes old town, pefkos or lardos. Their are a few super markets near by, the one away from the main road sells freah bread. We will defo be back, and would 100% recommend staying here - thank you for a wonderful stay."

"We had a fantastic 14-night stay at Lambis Studios and would happily give it 5 stars. The rooms were spotless throughout our stay, and the air conditioning worked brilliantly, which was much appreciated in the summer heat. The cleaning staff were incredibly friendly and did an excellent job every day. The pool area is modern and well maintained. As we visited during peak summer it was understandably busy at times, but it was still a lovely place to relax. The pool bar serves a great selection of food and drinks, all freshly prepared, tasty, and very reasonably priced. There's also a pool table (€2 per game), which was great entertainment for our teenagers. We really enjoyed the Tuesday BBQ night. It was excellent value for money, with plenty of delicious food, and we'd definitely recommend joining in. There is a small supermarket around a 10-minute walk away, although we hired a car for our stay, which I'd highly recommend. Having a car made it much easier to explore the island and discover some beautiful places beyond Lindos. Lindos town itself is about a 10-minute downhill walk from the studios. The walk back is definitely more challenging because it's uphill, but we managed it every evening for all 14 nights. It takes a little more effort on the way back, but it's absolutely doable and well worth it. While we were there, we visited the stunning St Paul's Bay, which is absolutely beautiful, and climbed to the Acropolis. The views from the top are incredible and definitely worth the effort. Lindos is a wonderful town with plenty of bars, rooftop restaurants, and a fantastic atmosphere in the evenings. Overall, we had an amazing holiday at Lambis Studios. The friendly staff, clean accommodation, great facilities, and excellent location made for a memorable stay, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Rhodes."
