Staying in Rhodes Old Town
Rhodes Old Town sits within a ring of massive medieval walls built by the Knights of Saint John, right at the northern tip of the island. The neighbourhood is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and walking its stone-paved alleys, past Ottoman mosques, Byzantine churches and Venetian-era mansions, genuinely feels like stepping into a different century. Accommodation here ranges from simple one-star guesthouses at around 34 € per night (Spot Hotel) to polished four-star boutique properties such as the Trinity Boutique Hotel at 188 €/night, all rated generously by guests, which reflects how much character the area adds to a stay.
Because the Old Town is largely car-free, you arrive on foot through one of the historic gates. That pedestrian nature is part of the charm, but it is worth knowing before you book. The Street of the Knights, the Archaeological Museum, the Palace of the Grand Master and the lively Socratous Street market are all within easy walking distance of any hotel inside the walls. The New Town, Mandraki harbour and the main bus terminal are just outside the walls, reachable in ten to fifteen minutes on foot, so day trips around the island remain straightforward.

Is Rhodes Old Town a good area for first-time visitors to Rhodes?+
Yes, for most first-time visitors it is the most rewarding base on the island. The concentration of historical sights, tavernas and shops within the walls means you can explore a great deal without needing transport. The harbour area and modern amenities of the New Town are a short walk away through the city gates, so you are not isolated.
Are there any drawbacks to staying inside Rhodes Old Town?+
A few practical points are worth considering. The streets are cobbled and uneven, which can be tiring with heavy luggage and may be difficult for guests with limited mobility. Parking inside the walls is restricted, so if you plan to rent a car for island excursions you will need to use car parks near the gates. Some alleys can be noisy on summer evenings as the area is popular with visitors dining and socialising late.
How do guests rate hotels in Rhodes Old Town?+
Guest ratings across the listed properties are notably high. Six out of eight hotels carry scores of 4.8 or 5 out of 5, including the Arthur Suites (64 €/night, 4.8/5), Ancient Knights Luxury Suites (147 €/night, 4.8/5) and the Galini Apartment (47 €/night, 4.8/5). Even at the budget end, the Spot Hotel holds a 4.1 out of 5, suggesting that the neighbourhood itself contributes significantly to guest satisfaction regardless of price point.
