Best Western Plaza 

During our travels across 33 countries and visits to 86 different cities, my wife and I have stayed in a wide range of accommodations, from the delightful to the disappointing.

Our recent stay at the Best Western Plaza Hotel in Rhodes was a delightful experience, notable for its excellent value and commendable service at breakfast. Situated conveniently, the hotel is a leisurely 20-minute walk to the Tourist Passengers Port and only 10-15 minutes away from the charm of the Old Town, making it an ideal base for exploration.

Location: The hotel’s proximity to key attractions in Rhodes adds to its appeal, allowing for easy access to the historical Old Town and the port, enriching our visit with ease and convenience.

Quality and Comfort: Our room was spacious, featuring a pool view that added an extra layer of relaxation to our stay. The bed and pillows provided were comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after days spent exploring Rhodes.

Value for Money: At 80€ per night for two, including breakfast, the hotel offered excellent value. The inclusion of a high-quality breakfast in the stay made it particularly worthwhile, highlighting the hotel's commitment to providing a satisfying experience.

Food and Dining: The breakfast was a highlight, offering a wide variety of choices, including Bougatsa—a traditional Thessaloniki meal—which was a delightful surprise. The personnel in the breakfast area were exceptionally pleasant, greeting guests with smiley faces and contributing to a positive start to the day.

Hospitality: While the receptionists came across as somewhat surly, this was significantly offset by the excellent service provided by the breakfast area staff. Their cheerful demeanor and efficient service greatly enhanced our dining experience.

Amenities: The amenities provided were satisfactory, meeting our needs and expectations for a comfortable stay.

In summary, the Best Western Plaza Hotel in Rhodes stands out for its strategic location, exceptional breakfast, and excellent value for money. It offers a comfortable and welcoming base for exploring the historical and scenic beauty of Rhodes. Despite the less than welcoming reception, the overall experience was positive, making it a recommendable choice for travelers to this beautiful island.

Nice hotel, good for the value

We had the pleasure of staying at the Best Western Plaza in April. The hotel was stunning and perfectly clean. The rooms were clean and contained all you need, the bathroom was stunning and very good quality. All the staff we encountered were friendly and professional. 
It was perfectly positioned, just a 10 minute walk to everything you need; The old town, beaches, the Marina , the new town, therefore you could shop till you drop or meander the marina and dream about owning one of the very spectacular yachts or enjoy a choice of beautiful beaches to relax and catch some rays.

We have no hesitation in giving this hotel five stars as they deserve each one.
We would definitely stay there again!

Fantastic hotel, great holiday

This hotel is comfortable. Beds are comfortable as are pillows, with basic room amenities. Restaurant has decent food for reasonable prices. They managed to deliver my bags to the wrong rooms then expected me to find them, however with a little encouragement helped to find them after all. Overall though it was a good place to stay. 

Comfortable and Central

When you have been to a hotel and resort you previously thoroughly enjoyed, after leaving the airport on the transfer coach there is an eagerness to get there ASAP, so, after a few drop offs, it was frustrating when the coach driver drove within a couple hundred yards of the Plaza Best Western Hotel and then continued taking us a few miles out of Rhodes town to drop off a few passengers at some remote hotel in the middle of nowhere leaving five of us passengers wondering if we will ever get to our eagerly awaited destination.  He looked surprised when getting back on the coach and seeing his last few passengers all looking pretty frustrated and fed up, I think he had forgotten he had to take us the the Plaza Best Western.  

However, when we finally arrived, later than hoped for, it was lovely to be back in this really nice and welcoming hotel.  We were checked into our room speedily and efficiently at reception and a nice young man took our luggage to our room.  The last time we were there in May 2019 we had a room at the back of the hotel overlooking the pool, so when booking the holiday through Thomson Holidays I requested a room at the back of the hotel and was informed I could not specify a room but they would put a request in, as good as gold we got our room at the back overlooking the pool on the 3rd floor.

The rooms in this hotel are cleaned by a friendly and thorough staff, our room was a nice size, the only thing was when my wife sat in the chair at the dressing table I had to climb over the bed to get from one site to the other - but that was just a minor thing.

The dinning room is buffet for breakfast and evening meals with a varied choice of food, the pool is a good size and I enjoyed my daily swims.  When in the hotel previously in May 2019 the hotel was quieter, so this time to get a sun bed we had to be there and waiting for the pool area to be opened at 10 am as all the sun beds were quickly taken up shortly after.  Unlike other places we have stayed the hotel does not have a policy of removing the towels from sun beds that have been left for a long period.  Most days we would have about 90 minutes by the pool and then leave our sun beds for others to use.  Towels for the sun beds were handed out when requested at the pool-side bar and when finished with they could be deposited in a box by the door to the reception.  

Rhodes town is a lovely and interesting place to be, to get into the fascinating old town was just a short walk, which we did most days and evenings to visit Socratous Garden, our favourite bar in the town.  However, at the end of the evening we would return to the hotel bar for an evening drink to be served by the very jolly barman who was always cheerful and welcoming.

It was good to be back and we were sad to leave at the end of our holiday, this is an excellent hotel which I would always recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing and pleasant holiday in a wonderful place surrounded by history.

Good to be back - eventually.

We love all the staff, George on reception, Anestis at the bar, Kostas at the pool bar, & Irene & Arapitos, we come back every year because of the lovely staff, we have been coming for over 16 years, the bathrooms are lovely now xxx we are bringing our daughter & grandchidren in July xx

We love coming to the Plaza as they are so friendly, we come back at least 3 times per year xx so close to the beach,


Enjoying an enviable location in the centre of Rhodes Town this 4* hotel is a perfect base for discovering all that the beautiful island of Rhodes has to offer. The beach is just 400 meters away and it is just a mile from the Old town of Rhodes with its many labyrinthine streets, full of shops, bars and restaurants.
