Ibiscus Hotel

We paid for a sea view room and it was well worth it looking out onto the beach. The rooms are very nice and have the best air conditioning we have experienced at any hotel. The service throughout the hotel is fantastic especially the team in the restaurant. The breakfast choice is first class with a good variation of food. I cannot comment on dinner as we always book B&B as the choice of restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel is huge. The pool and the area around is small but very nice but you have the attraction of the beach on your door step. This was our third stay at the Ibiscus hotel and will stay again possibly next year.

The position of the hotel was prefect for us. A 20 minute walk into the old town but plenty of restaurants and bars within a 5 to 10 minute walk. There are lots of beaches to choose from, if somewhat pebbly. There are so many pros to the hotel and the only con is the small swimming pool. But we knew this when we booked. The staff were wonderful from reception, to the bar staff and the reception staff, everyone we met and reacted with were friendly and professional. The rooms have been refurbished fairly recently and we found it to be still in good working order. Our view was over the square at the back and was very quiet. We were also near the lift but never heard it. If we were to return to Rhodes town, we would not hesitate to stay here again.

My experiences at the Ibiscus hotel from August. I got a courtyard room on the 4th floor which was just fine. The room was really small. There is enough space for one person, but it could be tight for two. There was no space reserved for the suitcase. There was no soundproofing between the rooms, almost all noises could be heard and especially the closet doors rattled. It's a good thing that there was not outside noise in the courtyard room. The cleaning was pretty poor, bottles were found in the closet from the traces of the previous resident, the mirror was really dirty and the tile seams of the shower were covered in black mold. More coffee bags were brought rarely, not every day when they ran out. The water bottles were not refilled when they ran out. The room was renovated, the bed and pillows were quite good. The room had beach towels ready, which was a good thing. A safety box was found in the closet. Room equipment also includes a refrigerator and a large TV. I had half board which included breakfast and dinner buffet. The breakfast was plentiful. The chef fried omelettes with fillings chosen by the customer. They were tasty but there were often a long queue. The food at the dinner buffet is average, nothing very high quality. Salads were varying, feta salad and tzatziki were tasty. In August, there were a lot of rush and crowded, but the service was functional. Nikos and the rest of the team's service were professional. I don't know about the evening program and massage services because I didn't use them. The hotel was perhaps not worthy of four stars in my own experience but due to its location, it is suitable for a nice beach holiday.
