Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands, off the south-west coast of Turkey, and it packs an unusual amount into one island. The walled medieval Old Town of Rhodes — a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by the crusading Knights of St John, with the Palace of the Grand Master and the cobbled Street of the Knights — is the finest surviving medieval town in Greece. South of the capital, Faliraki is the island's beach-resort strip (14km away), and further south the whitewashed village of Lindos tumbles below its ancient acropolis (47km). Add long sandy beaches, Anthony Quinn Bay, a warm April–October season and direct summer flights from the UK, and it's one of the easiest Greek islands to plan. Most UK visitors fly direct in summer to Rhodes Airport (RHO) near Paradisi; off-season usually means connecting via Athens. Compare live Rhodes hotel prices or search flights to Rhodes (RHO).

Cheap Hotels in Rhodes — 49 Real, Bookable Options From £61

Here's the good news about budget Rhodes: because the island has a huge bed supply and a long April–October season, its floor is genuinely low — real, bookable rooms start around £61 a night, mostly in and around Rhodes Town. This tier is wide, running up to roughly £241 for larger Faliraki beach hotels and all-inclusive resorts that still cost less than the luxury names, so there's real choice across the spread.

Rhodes Hotels FAQs

What is the cheapest hotel in Rhodes? On recent searches the lowest real, bookable rate is the Tivoli Hotel in Rhodes Town, from around £61 a night — a simple 3-star base a short walk from the beach and the New Town. Sotirakis Hotel Studios (£70), Parthenon Hotel (£72) and Valentino Hotel (~£74) are the next cheapest, all in and around Rhodes Town. Because Rhodes has a huge bed supply and a long April–October season, its floor is genuinely low — you can find a real room here for well under half what Mykonos or Santorini charge.

How much does a budget hotel in Rhodes cost per night in 2026? Realistically £61–110 a night for the cheaper tier on shoulder-season dates — Tivoli from ~£61, Sotirakis Studios from ~£70, Parthenon from ~£72, and the standout 4-star Bayside Hotel Katsaras from ~£80. The wider "affordable" band in this guide runs up to about £241, because some larger Faliraki beach hotels and all-inclusive resorts sit well above a true budget floor while still costing less than the luxury tier. August pushes every one of these numbers up sharply; May–June and mid-September–October are where the real savings are.

What is the cheapest area to stay in Rhodes? Rhodes Town (including the streets around the New Town and the harbour) has the widest spread of cheap rooms — Tivoli, Sotirakis, Parthenon, Valentino and Amaryllis all sit here from ~£61–78. Faliraki, the resort strip 14km south, has cheap package-style hotels too but tends to start a little higher in peak season. Lindos, the postcard acropolis village in the south, is the priciest base and has almost no true budget beds. For the lowest rates, stay in Rhodes Town and bus or drive out to the beaches.

When is the cheapest time to visit Rhodes? May–June and mid-September to October — the single most useful money tip for Rhodes. The island has a long season (April–October), and prices swing enormously across it: an August room can cost two to three times the same room in May or October, with weather that's still hot and sea that's still warm in the shoulder months. Most island hotels close entirely from November to March. If your dates are flexible, avoid late July and August and you'll roughly halve your hotel bill.

Where should I stay in Rhodes for the first time? Rhodes Town is the best all-round first-time base — you get the UNESCO medieval Old Town (the walled city of the Knights of St John), the New Town's beaches, bars and shops, and the widest choice of hotels at every price. From here you can day-trip to Lindos, Faliraki and the beaches easily. Choose Faliraki if you specifically want a beach-resort holiday with nightlife, or Lindos if you want the prettiest village setting and don't mind paying for it.

Is Rhodes Old Town a good place to stay? Yes — staying inside or beside the medieval walled Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by the Knights of St John, is atmospheric and central, with cobbled lanes, the Palace of the Grand Master and the Street of the Knights on your doorstep. Boutique stays like Zacosta Villa Hotel, Evdokia Boutique Hotel and Angela Downtown Hotel put you in or right beside the walls. The trade-offs are limited parking, some nightlife noise in summer, and a short walk to the nearest sand — but for history and character it's unbeatable.

Should I stay in Faliraki or Lindos? Faliraki is the big resort strip 14km south of Rhodes Town — long sandy beaches, family and adults-only beach hotels, water parks and a lively nightlife scene. It suits beach holidays, families and younger travellers. Lindos, 47km south, is a whitewashed village clustered below an ancient acropolis, prettier and quieter but pricier, with narrow lanes and a more upmarket feel. Choose Faliraki for beach-resort convenience and value, Lindos for the postcard setting and a romantic or upscale stay.

What is the best luxury hotel in Rhodes? For a five-star beach resort, Pegasos Deluxe Beach Hotel in Faliraki (from £323) leads on reviews with 1,600+, followed by Apollo Blue (£266) and the adults-only Ammades All Suites Beach Hotel & Spa (£486). In Lindos, the Lindos Royal Resort (£298) is the standout five-star. Helea Lifestyle Beach Resort (£498) and its adults-only sister Elissa (£487) are the top-priced beach retreats. All are seafront resorts — Rhodes luxury is about the beach, not the Old Town.

Are there adults-only hotels in Rhodes? Yes — several. Ammades All Suites Beach Hotel & Spa (from £486) and Elissa Lifestyle Beach Resort (£487) are the five-star adults-only options, while Atalanti Boutique Hotel (£170) and Aloe Hotel (£219) offer adults-only stays at mid and upper-budget prices. These suit couples and travellers wanting a calm, child-free beach holiday, most of them clustered around Faliraki and the resort coast.

Which Rhodes hotels are all-inclusive? Several in this guide run all-inclusive boards, including Sol Cosmopolitan Rhodes (from £221) and Sun Palace Hotel (£241), plus most of the large Faliraki beach resorts in the luxury tier (Pegasos, Amada Colossos, Elysium and others) offer all-inclusive packages. All-inclusive is popular on Rhodes because the big resorts sit on their own beaches away from town, so having food and drinks covered saves money and taxis. Always confirm the board type when you book, as the same hotel may sell room-only and all-inclusive rates.

Is Rhodes good for families? Very — it's one of Greece's most family-friendly islands. Faliraki has long, shallow, sandy beaches, water parks and big resort hotels with kids' clubs and pools (Esperos Palace, Pegasos, Amada Colossos). Rhodes Town has the castle-like Old Town that children love exploring, and the whole island has a long, reliable summer. Larger all-inclusive resorts take the stress out of feeding a family, and there are plenty of mid-range and budget family rooms away from the adults-only properties.

How do I get to Rhodes from the UK? In summer (roughly April–October) UK travellers fly direct to Rhodes International Airport (RHO), also called Diagoras, on seasonal charter and low-cost flights from many UK airports — typically about 4 to 4.5 hours. The airport sits on the west coast near Paradisi, about 14km from Rhodes Town. Out of season, direct flights largely stop and you'd usually connect via Athens. Rhodes is flight-first for UK visitors; the ferry from Athens (Piraeus) takes the best part of a day and is mainly for island-hoppers.

Do I need a car in Rhodes? Not essential if you're staying put in Rhodes Town or a Faliraki resort — buses and taxis cover the main routes and resorts have their own beaches. But Rhodes is a big island with gorgeous spots spread out (Lindos, Anthony Quinn Bay, Prasonisi, the west-coast villages), so a hire car for a few days opens up far more than the bus. Many visitors base themselves in one place and hire a car for two or three days of exploring rather than the whole trip.

Is Lindos worth staying in? If you want the most beautiful setting on the island and don't mind higher prices, yes. Lindos is a cascade of whitewashed houses below a dramatic ancient acropolis, with a horseshoe bay and a car-free village core of cobbled lanes. Lindos Royal Resort (£298) and Lindos White Hotel & Suites (£195) are the standout stays. The catches: it's 47km from Rhodes Town, the village lanes involve steps and donkeys rather than cars, and there are almost no true budget beds — Lindos is a splurge base, not a bargain one.

What months is Rhodes hotel season? Roughly April to October. Rhodes has one of the longest seasons in Greece thanks to its southern, sunny position, with many hotels open from Easter through late October. Peak is July–August (hottest, busiest, dearest); the sweet spots for value and comfortable weather are May–June and mid-September–October. From November to March most island resort hotels close, though Rhodes Town keeps a handful of year-round options open.

Is Faliraki good for nightlife and young travellers? Yes — Faliraki has long been Rhodes's nightlife hub, with a strip of bars and clubs alongside its big sandy beach, popular with younger travellers and groups. It's calmer than its 2000s reputation these days and now mixes family resorts with the party scene, so you can pick a quieter adults-only or family hotel and still be near the action. For nightlife plus beach on a budget, Faliraki is the obvious base.

Which Rhodes hotels are near the beach? Most of the resort hotels are beachfront or a short walk from sand. In Faliraki, Pegasos Deluxe Beach, Apollo Blue, Elysium Resort, Esperos Palace and Atma Beach are on or beside the beach. Along the Rhodes Town/Ixia/Ialysos coast, Helea, Elissa, Rodos Palladium and Amus sit on the water. Bayside Hotel Katsaras and All Senses Ocean Blue are budget-to-mid options near the sea. In Rhodes Town itself, the New Town's Elli Beach is a walk from most central hotels.

Can you stay in Rhodes on a budget near the Old Town? Yes. Rhodes Town has the island's best supply of cheap beds within walking distance of the medieval Old Town — Tivoli (£61), Sotirakis Studios (£70), Parthenon (£72), Valentino (£74) and Amaryllis (~£78) are all budget rooms in or near town, with the walled city and the New Town beaches a short walk away. For a bit more, boutique Old-Town stays like Zacosta Villa and Evdokia put you right among the cobbled lanes. You do not need to overpay to be central in Rhodes.

How far is Faliraki from Rhodes Old Town? About 14km, or a 20–30 minute drive or bus ride south along the east coast. Regular buses run between Rhodes Town and Faliraki through the day in season, and a taxi is quick. This makes it easy to base in one and visit the other — stay in a Faliraki beach resort and pop into the Old Town for a day, or stay in town and bus out to Faliraki's beach.

What is the best area for couples in Rhodes? Lindos for the romantic village-and-acropolis setting, the Old Town of Rhodes for history and boutique character, or an adults-only beach resort near Faliraki for a relaxed couples' beach break. Adults-only picks like Ammades, Elissa, Atalanti and Aloe are built for couples, while boutique Old-Town stays such as Zacosta Villa Hotel and Evdokia Boutique Hotel suit those who prefer character and cobbled lanes over a resort pool.

Are Rhodes hotels cheaper than the other Greek islands? Generally yes — Rhodes is one of the better-value larger islands. Its budget floor of around £61 undercuts Santorini (£70), Mykonos (£143) and Paros (~£130) comfortably, thanks to a huge bed supply, a long season and a big package-holiday market. You'll pay far less here for a beach room than on the Cyclades honeypots, while still getting a UNESCO old town, great beaches and reliable sun. Crete and Kos are its main rivals for value.

How many days do you need in Rhodes? For a first trip, five to seven nights lets you enjoy a beach base, explore the medieval Old Town properly and day-trip to Lindos and a couple of beaches without rushing. A long weekend (three to four nights) works if you focus on Rhodes Town and one beach. Rhodes is big enough to fill a full week easily, especially with a hire car for the southern beaches and inland villages.

Which Rhodes hotels have the best guest reviews? By review volume, Pegasos Deluxe Beach Hotel (1,600+ reviews) leads the luxury tier, Atma Beach Rooms & Suites (980+) and Esperos Palace (695) score highly in the mid and upper-budget bands, and Tsampika Hotel Faliraki (530) is a well-reviewed budget-to-mid pick. Apollo Blue and Ammades also carry 750+ reviews each. High review counts on the big Faliraki resorts are the safest bet for a predictable beach holiday.

Is Rhodes better in spring or autumn? Both are excellent and cheaper than summer. Spring (May–June) brings wildflowers, green hillsides and warming seas, with everything open and prices low. Autumn (mid-September–October) offers the warmest sea of the year after a long summer, thinning crowds and falling prices, though some facilities start winding down by late October. For swimming, autumn edges it; for greenery and lower heat, spring wins. Either beats the August crush on price.

What is the best-value 4-star hotel in Rhodes? Bayside Hotel Katsaras is the standout — a 4-star near the coast from around £80 a night, far below the usual 4-star rate on the island. Rodos Palace Hotel (£153), Blue Horizon (£169) and All Senses Ocean Blue (~£167) are other strong 4-star values in the mid tier. For 4-star quality without a luxury price, these beat paying up for the big-name resorts, especially outside peak season.
