Esperia City Hotel

Pros: great location in the new town literally a few minutes walk away from the main bars and restaurants. Bar area was lovely, swimming pool area was bigger than I expected and was still able to find a seat or sunbed whenever I used it. Beds in the room were comfortable and additional pillows provided. Cons: bathroom was disappointing no shower screen just a shower curtain cubicle which often led to spillage on bathroom floor, main issue was the shower was only 3 feet high so couldn’t stand under the shower to wash off. You had to hold the shower to wash off or wash your hair. There were some areas around the tiles/taps - it didn’t affect my experience but I can imagine with water dripping in between them it will cause problems in the future. Staff experience were nice enough., the main area I would say for improvement in addition to the bathroom would be breakfast. This is where the staff marking lost a star. They weren’t particularly engaging or friendly. I had breakfast included but never met anybody at any point to sit down, the food offered was a good range but basic I would say. There was no fresh eggs or omelettes or any orders made to order, no runny yolk egg whether fried or boiled (there was no option to have poached), the scrambled eggs were done in bulk and overcooked as we’re boiled eggs, baked beans are also quite runny. I think it’s an English person we have high standards for English breakfast! They did have toast and pastries, sweet and savoury and yoghurt available along with ham and cheese, albeit not the best quality. I did find the fresh fruit section disappointing it was just oranges apples pears as whole fruit none was chopped up to be able to enjoy. Overall it was a good hotel. The location was brilliant. You’re two streets away from being able to see the beach and amazing sunsets. Just make sure you read the reviews. I knew there wasn’t any kettle in the room which does seem like it should be a basic in conclusion, so I brought my own. . Would I stay here again? Yes I probably would for the location if I want to stay in that part of Rhodes, however I found myself going to Old town much more so would probably if I went back stayed nearer to the area. If I stayed again, I probably wouldn’t include breakfast option. I only visited twice out of two mornings. The first was to try and the second one was literally due to time of return to the airport. If you look online there’s a fantastic breakfast place five minute walk away.

great hotel in the centre of everything, sea 5 mins walk, bars restaurants very close by, harbour and old town 10 - 15 mins walk

The hotel staff are among the friendliest I have come across. Check inn was easy and my room was sparkling clean. WiFi is good at all times. The breakfast spread is vast with something to suit every taste. My only criticism is a lack of plug points, there were only two and one of those was used by the fridge, not even a shaver point in the small bathroom. Hotel is only a 10-15 minute walk to the port and the Old Town. I totally recommend this hotel.

The rooms are inconvenient, no power socket next to bed, tiny shower with a curtain. Looks very outdated for 2026. The breakfast and location are good though
