Rhodian Rose Hotel in Faliraki

Quiet tucked away location but easy reach to beach, bars & restaurants. Friendly owners always on hand if any issues. Pool area is clean & more than enough sunbeds but no shower. Breakfast adequate, don't be expecting a huge spread, what is offered is more than enough. Rooms are acceptable, be prepared to pay extra for air conditioning & a safety deposit box. The shower is rarely hot & is certainly not a power shower! Also no room available if you have a late flight, there is a hose if you want to freshen up!! You can't eat or drink your own food around the pool, the bar & food prices on site are on the more expensive side in comparison to what you can get in other places. Overall not a bad experience but we won't be rushing back.

A reasonable hotel that could be easily improved.
Pros: location is walking distance of main strip and approx 10min walk to the beach. Pool is a good size and was never too busy. Enough sunbeds were available. Rooms were decorated to a reasonable standard although our balcony was shared. The younger woman was friendly and helpful if you could get hold of her.
Cons: Guests have to work around staff availability rather than the other way around. The check-in process was completed when they had time so we didn't get our passports back until 2 days later. In order to collect passports, we had to pay hotel tax for 2 rooms (and late checkout) in cash which used a good portion of our spending money. My room (114) often had an upleasant smell and towels and sheets did not smell fresh either. I asked for an extra pillow and was told to ask the cleaning staff who had already finished for the day. Upon searching the next day, my husband ran into the lady who had checked us in who did immediately get me one, however the smell of it was so unpleasant I tried airing it out outside and eventually asked the cleaners to change when I encountered them. I asked to borrow an iron 3 times before giving up. The man who works there is unfriendly and doesn't make eye contact or communicate with guests unless spoken to. The older woman was friendly. About halfway through the holiday, the water in our room became scalding - I had to crouch in the shower to get the cooler parts to rinse. I mentioned this upon chekckout and was told it was due to the excessive heat and piped being located outside. My children in another room didn't have any issues with this though. Breakfast was average and only margarine was provided. We started skipping it and just buying brunch and dinner instead.
Someone should be available to meet guests needs at all times and they should employ another staff member if they do not have time to do everything themselves. Otherwise this could have been more pleasant stay.

Booked our package holiday with Tui. On arrival told we had to pay a weeks air con charge despite arriving at midnight and checking out at 11am. Also daily city tax charge. Hotel is in a good location close to sea and shops. Location was quiet and far enough away from the busy strip of bars and clubs. Manager Vivienne is so lovely and will do anything to help. Room is basic, 2 plugs, I found the fridge a little noisy at night as I sleep light and freezer drawer was small and didn't freeze anything we put in there. Breakfast was adequate, eggs hams cheese toast watermelon etc. Juice and water are not chilled. Little shop over the road selling most things you need.

Positive: Nice hotel close to the beach. The staff is very friendly, rooms were clean enough, the pool area is very nice on hot summer days. Negative: All the bedding and towels should be replaced because they had stains and the smell of them was very bad, but this might be solved with some washing products. The breakfast was enough and good for me, because I’m not a “breakfast person” but let’s be honest, this is not continental, don’t expect else just eggs, vegetables, bread, watermelelon, cheese, ham, one juice, jam, milk and coffee. Not much, but what you get is I think good quality and tasty. I was all in all happy with the hotel and maybe I would return. :)
