Africa Hotel — Hotel in Municipality of Rhodes

Stayed here for 5 days with my partner mid-August 2025. Great hotel with great quality rooms and great services. ||The beds are very comfy, bed sheets very light and soft. Shower has great water pressure. Our balcony fortunately had a great view! Aircon was great made sleeping easier haha. Fridge in the room which was so needed! Built in to the wall hairdryer! We had payed for breakfast included, it's buffet style, excellent food with a great variety. We made use of it every morning it was brilliant I highly recommend. ||The location is absolutely superb! Very close to rocky beaches, the waves are quite strong on this side, however if you cut through the town to the far side of Rhodes town, you can reach lovely beaches and beach clubs (avoid Azul beach club). Same goes for if you want to reach the marina for boat tours or Old Town. We were so happy with the great location in walking distance of key places.||The reason I did not give a 5-star review was due to the treatment from ONE receptionist staff member. For context, on our 2nd night, the electrical unit in the room started buzzing and our electricity stopped working. The electricity is powered by a keycard system beside the door. In the morning, we recorded a video of the buzzing and went to reception. Tried to show the mature lady at the desk the video and were immediately met with 'NO! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU ARE WRONG' and she repeated this with a raised voice over and over and over. Even took us to another room to show us how to use the keycard, which she refused to let us explain the key card was not the issue. Continued shouting at us not allowing us to speak. ||Eventually handed us off to another older man to go to our room with us. Showed him the video and he immediately said "That should not happen, I will get an electrician as soon as I can'. Which he did within 30 minutes, apologized for the issue and had it sorted by the end of the day. Very nice man very glad he was there to help us. ||Sadly my partner had another unpleasant interaction with the receptionist lady. Due to myself living in Athens and my partner in Ireland for the time being. I had to fly out earlier than her in the morning. I got my taxi and made my way to the airport. My partner returned to the hotel and was immediately questioned 'Where are you going?' she replied to her room and showed her keycard (sadly the keycards are completely blank white). Asked what room is she in and what her name is. Instead of simply checking the system for our passport photos which they took on arrival, continued to question her suspiciously. Eventually my partner had to just walk away from her to the elevator so she could go to sleep again before her flight.||I can understand the sense of security so early in the morning (6am-ish) but when you have her name and room number the level of suspicion and rude behavior was unnecessary and unreasonable. ||On the other hand the late night receptionist. A man about my own age, very nice, very helpful and super respectful. As well as the bar staff are all very lovely. Simply due to one member of staff I removed a star. If it weren't for all the other amazing staff and their excellent decorum and service this would have been a much worse review. Thank you to the rest of the excellent staff!||If you have an issue just don't approach this lady otherwise I highly recommend this hotel as a value place to stay in a...

To start with the positive, the location of the hotel is great, city center is 10 minutes walk away, old Rhodes town is about 20-25 minutes walk and beaches, the west beach is literally 2 seconds away and the eastern beach is about 13 minutes. Everything is pretty close, you don't need a bus or a taxi to get by. Rooms have been cleaned daily, towels changed and sheets changed or neatly folded. Breakfast was included for our booking, it was quite good, we didn't lack anything and we're never hungry. The staff of the hotel was the biggest plus, everybody was very pleasant and helpful, they made our stay more enjoyable.

As for the negative side, the biggest issue we had was the noise due to which we didn't sleep all that well through out these 10 days. Most of the noise came from the outside, our room had a back view, in front of that side of the hotel there was a rental shop and the staff from the rental shop has been repairing cars, quads, bikes 24/7. On some nights there were a lot of drunken tourists shouting from the streets. On the side note, outside noise has nothing to do with the hotel itself. Apart from outside noise, the cleaning ladies contributed to the noise in the morning. Hallways are all tiled and walls are very thin, I'm a deep sleeper but even I managed to be awaken by these noises. Also beds were not that comfy, a lot of back pain. The bathroom was very tiny, the shower was so small you could barely fit in, and the water was splashin everywhere. All in all it was a good booking, maybe the sea view rooms were better than the back view, we are yet...

Nu ska jag vara helt ärlig. ||När jag och kusinen bokade resa till Rhodos i år så gick vi väldigt mycket efter recensioner på tripadvisor, men också pris så klart. Africa hotel vart till slut det vi valde. Recensionerna var positiva, ett familjeägt hotel som skulle vara trevligt och fräscht blev förväntningarna vi hade på flyget mot Grekland. Vi fick rum 101 precis vid lobbyn (första rummet på i hotellet. Nedan skriver jag om min upplevelse på hotellet. Jag börjar med det negativa (den övervägande delen).|| ||1. När vi kom in i rummet och skulle kolla på vår utlovade balkong med havsutsikt möts vi av en 30 cm bred balkong med 2 m utsikt rakt in i en bra sliten betongvägg, äsh det är väl inte så farligt tänkte vi och drog igen gardinen resten av veckan.||2. Mycket misstänksamma bruna fläckar i midjehöjd på gardinen som fick en att känna att den grekiska maten var på väg upp i strupen igen. ||3. Det "nyss" städade rummet hade inte alls fått skurat golv eller så var det skurat med riktigt svart vatten eller så moppade städerskan med handbolls-klister... Skon lossnade ifrån foten när man trampade i rummet. ||4. Balkongdörren insåg vi snabbt att den inte gick att låsa. låsmeckanismen var trasig, vilket inte är det roligaste när man bor på första våningen och vem som helst kunde komma in i rummet. ||5. Övrig städning var katastrofal, det var hårstrån lite här och var i rummet, vätska som hade spillts och torkats in på skrivbordet, damm och panodil inschyfflat under sängen i en hög.||6. TV var näst intill ett museiföremål och det ända den sände var myrornas krig och sladdarna var riktigt snyggt dragna när dom hängde i luften som en 1m lång hängmatta mellan väggen och skrivbordet.||7. Det gick inte att lämna strömmen på utan att avlägsna nyckeln från plattan man stoppade i väggen, därav inget svalkande rum när man kom hem (dock tog vi av nyckeln och hade den på oss hela veckan istället för att lämna den i receptionen som man skulle göra).||8. Man fick inte nya lakan varje dag, vissa dagar vändes dem bara.||9. Inget kassaskåp på rummet, och eftersom det var fri ingång till rum 101 var ju detta problematiskt, men hotellägaren gav oss nyckeln till en safetybox i receptionen vilket var bra.||10. Med dubbelrum borde man ju ha dubbelt av vissa saker, t.ex glas i badrummet eller stolar på balkongen, men inte de heller möttes vi av...||||Visst, det är ett billigare hotell med 2 stjärnor, men för mig är inte detta acceptabelt på något hotell. Vi klagade på de flesta punkter ovan, byta rum var helt omöjligt men några saker kunde hotellpersonalen ordna. Vi fick t.ex en till plaststol på balkongen, ett till glas i badrummet, ett nytt balkonglås senare i veckan, men det dröjde ändå några dagar. Så det var delvis positivt att dom var villiga att göra något åt saken, men det var fortfarande inte tillräckligt om man frågar mig. ||||Frukosten var helt OK, inte superfräsch och matsalen i källaren var 30 grader varm. Vi åt bara där en gång under veckan och gick istället till ett crêperie där man fick en schysst nutellacrêpe för 2.5 euro.||||Övriga positiva punkter var att det inte var så värst dyrt boende och att baren var trevlig.||||Vi kanske bara hade otur med rumslotteriet, dem flesta övriga rum var tydligen nyrenoverade och fräschare. Men man blir ju lite besviken över personalens vilja att göra ens vistelse bättre...||||Åker gärna tillbaka till Rhodos nästa år, vi har haft en sinnessjukt rolig vecka men då blir det förmodligen på ett annat hotell. ||||Ta inte åt er för mycket av min recension, detta kanske bara va rum 101 men jag ville bara vara ärlig och säga som jag upplevt...
