We wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend. The decor in the hotel public areas and the rooms is simple and modern, breakfast is lovely. Fabulous location within easy walking distance of shops, old town, port, restaurants, bars, etc but on a very quiet street.

Our 55 deluxe rooms and suites, some of which cherishing their own private swimming pool, offer guests the comfort and relaxation they are in need of during their holiday, experiencing a memorable stay within a sophisticated environment with luxurious amenities, high-end technology and modern comforts.
Stunning hotel with exceptional staff. Everything was perfect. Every meal was first class. The sunset views every evening were stunning. We had the best massage ever in the hotel spa. Plenty of comfortable sun loungers around the pool so there was never an issue getting one. Staff went over and above to make the staff as relaxing as possible. The hotel is about a 15 to 20 minute easy walk on paved footpath into the centre of Kos town. Would definitely stay here again.

Adults only, operating all year round, 10GR invites you to authentic experiences of greek hospitality, wine tasting, relaxation and pleasure.
My wife and I stayed at this wonderful hotel, which is right in the middle of Rhodes Old Town, for 6 nights in May 2022. As many other reviews have stated, this is THE place to stay in Rhodes. All of the staff, from the cleaners upto the management, were so friendly and helpful and did their respective jobs perfectly and with a smile on their faces. Special mention must be given to the two receptionists - Fay and Skiadeni - who gave us the best service that we have ever received in over 50 years of international travel. Nothing was too much trouble.

All 20 rooms at Lindos Comfy Suites have been fully renovated in 2016, following our main principle of style in comfort. Our goal is to make sure that our guests experience an elegant and relaxing ambience inside, while enjoying the magnificent nature and outstanding view outside. Rich in colours, the green and silver of the olive trees, the ancient rock hill, the infinite blue of the Aegean and scents both from land and sea, the beauty of the landscape surrounding Lindos Comfy Suites is complimented and further highlighted in all of our rooms.
Comfy Suites was a great place to stay, I can’t recommend it enough! Spotlessly clean, amazing views over Lindos and really friendly and helpful staff. Dimitris, Eleni and Maria really looked after us and made sure we had everything we wanted and needed. We stayed in the Honeymoon suite, which had a lovely private terrace with views over the town. Breakfast was tasty and cocktails on the rooftop terrace of an evening were a nice touch. I’d definitely recommend this hotel if you are visiting Lindos - we will be back next year!

The Allegory Boutique hotel is a small boutique hotel in the island of Rhodes, located in the Medieval Old Town and ideally situated close to St Athanasios Gate. It exemplifies the architecture of the area and is a member of "Yades Greek Historic Hotels" and "Historic Hotels of Europe". In a cluster of historic townhouses in the medieval heart of Rhodes, the Allegory has been created in a beautiful balance between heritage and modern design. Six suites with a brilliantly conceived ergonomic space, preserve the impressive wooden beams of the original architecture. Earthy colors, refined decoration, impressive artwork and robust stonewalls are the elements of the suites. Inviting and noble, with exclusive service attributes, the Allegory Boutique Hotel promises a different way to explore the medieval city of Rhodes, an Architectural Heritage site, and the beauties of the island. Allegory is no ordinary luxury hotel. Conceived by its owners as a serene refuge, set in the ancient walls of the medieval city, the hotel offers guests a unique insight into Rhodian culture, history and art. The building was the residence of Anastasiadis family from Karpathos that brought up musicians, woodcraft furniture and musical instrument manufacturers. It exemplifies the architecture of the area. It offers a broad quality range of five-star services. The design, the architectural interventions and personal attributes win the admiration of the demanding guest who chooses to become a part of its history. Just minutes by foot from the Old Town’s iconic sites, Allegory offers accommodation and an experience like no other. Our guests are invited to experience the true meaning of the Greek word philoxenia – literally translated as the act of being a “friend to a stranger” – the timeless act of hospitality and care shown to visitors. Every guest will be treated as family and we will be glad to prepare homemade breakfast according to your specific needs. We are happy to serve delicious vegetarian and vegan breakfast options. Walk through Rhode’s medieval town cobblestone streets, in the neighborhood of the Knights, which lead you to this brand new, historic yet hip, little diamond to discover: The Allegory Boutique Hotel Rhodes. What a hideaway!
We are here for our last of 4 nights at the beautiful Allegory Boutique Hotel in centre of old Rhodes town (but far enough walk away from the noise and crowds). Konstantina has been nothing short of amazing! From arranging our airport transfer to the door of the hotel, to the welcome choice of drinks (we chose a white and a red wine) with cheeses, olives etc, to the warm conversations - she has been kind, hospitable and so helpful. As others have noted the breakfast is plentiful. Each day we have had to gradually reduce our intake as it really is abundant! Konstantina looked genuinely upset when we politely declined an item - as she is the epitome of Greek hospitality. She wants to keep offering more and more! Our vegetarian diet was easily accommodated and Kaliopi has also been so welcoming, friendly and kind throughout our stay. We are grateful that for our final night we’ve been upgraded to the Narcissus suite! If you can we highly recommend this room for the extra space and extraordinary bathroom including a steam shower. We prefer it to Callisto room which has a strange small shower opening directly to the bedroom. It also doesn’t have a door from the private stairwell into the bedroom but fortunately there was no noise from downstairs and the stairwell skylight did not impede our sleep. However Callisto was equally quiet and comfortable, just more compact. The beds are great and everything is spotlessly clean in whatever room you choose. The location and atmosphere is exceptional. The photos are accurate. It is as beautiful as depicted. We are sad to be leaving the magnificent island of Rhodes (we did a day tour - so much to see and enjoy!), stunning Rhodes town and Allegory in particular. It has been such a memorable experience. If you are able - you must stay here!

Had a birthday dinner in the restaurant. Stunning building with a long history. Walk straight through to the beach from restaurant with towering canopies and beautiful lighting. The food was high quality but without skimping on the quantity. Great place for a special event.

My friend and I, stumbled across this little gem, which was close to our Air BnB. We had not really liked the look of the touristy styled restaurants and bars in the centre, so this was an amazing find! Firstly, it had cute outdoor seating, beautiful old building with fine features, mosaics on floor etc. secondly, the meze plates , drinks (some complimentary ie MASTIKA one night) and breakfasts were exceptional! And LASTLY but most importantly, the welcome from 'the boys' CHRISTOS and SERGIOS (sorry, spelt name wrong, I am sure) was spectacular. Welcoming, funny, laid back, chilled, what great ambiance. What a chilled vibe and especially with their own jazz style music, which fitted the place beautifully. Especially if you are arriving stressed from your life and need to just relax. My friend Julie and I could not recommend this place highly enough. We felt that we had left old friends on the last day. This place really made our trip memorable. I hope the boys get to read this.

We stayed for 5 nights in the Jasmin suite at the Rodos Niohori Boutique Hotel. From the minute we stepped into the courtyard my heart sang, it was so beautiful and truly matched, if not surpassed, all the pictures of it we had seen online. Spacious, immaculately clean and tasteful with a welcoming fruit basket and bottle of Rhodian wine as we arrived. The hotel is in a busy tourist area, but as soon as you enter a peace descends and you are surrounded by tranquility and beauty. The breakfasts are delicious and are prepared and served with such grace and kindness by Violetta, who deserves much praise, nothing was too much trouble for her, she made our stay so special. All the hosts, Georgios, Joanna and Violetta were fantastic, and communication with them was excellent. The work and thought that has gone into converting the building into 3 hotel suites and providing such a welcoming place to stay on Rhodes, make it a delight. Forget your big hotels, this place is the real deal, and small really is beautiful. Thank you to everyone, we will remember our time at the Rodos Niohori for a long time to come. ❤???
