Stavros Melathron Studios

A hidden gem Stavros Melathron is a hidden gem. Tucked away down a short lane from the main road, you enter into an oasis of peace. A very special place. Apartments are lovely, well equipped and the addition of a large fridge freezer was very useful. All the apartments look out onto a very well maintained and attractive pool area with plenty of good quality sunbeds for everyone!

Nice hotel and pool area, very friendly owner Very friendly atmosphere in this hotel. The owner organized us a transport from the airport (40€) and back (35€). The taxi was a newish E-class Mercedes, so it was a very good deal. And the owner also came to greet us as we arrived although it was late in the evening. The room size was ok for four people. Our room was on the ground floor, with a superb and easy access to the pool. The room was equipped with a small kitchenette (micro, fridge, freezer, coffeemaker, cutlery) which was really good for making our own breakfast in the room from itelms we bought at the local fruit market and supermarket. (Note - there is no restaurant in the hotel itself, but a few restaurants in walking distance). The pool area is superb. Peaceful, as it is quite spacious and the hotel only has some 20 rooms. There os a small supermarket, fruit market and a few restaurants in 2-3 minutes walking distance. Of the restaurants the Greek Family restaurant next to the supermarket is very recommendable. It is easy to catch a bus to Rhodes city (2,50€ per person, buses go every 20 minutes or so from a local busvstop). Getting back with a bus in the evening is a bit tricky - although we explained that we wanted a tocket to route 40 and to bus stop F12, at the Rhodes bus terminal we were sold wrong tickets, on to a bus that drove direct to Faliraki. But this way we got to see that part of the island as well. Taking a taxi from Faliraki to the hotel cost 17 euros in the evening.

A lovely chilled out holiday at this hidden gem! Just returned from a lovely week staying at the Stavros Melathron. We asked for a ground floor room which was perfect for access to the perfectly manicured gardens and chilled out pool area. There were always sun loungers with umbrellas available regardless of the time of day so no need to get up at the crack of dawn to reserve one! The rooms were well equipped and comfortable and were cleaned daily. The location of the hotel is in-between Rhodes town and Faliraki, with both easily accessible by bus or taxi, or if you hire a car, there is ample parking at the hotel. There are a number of very good restaurants, bakery, bars and supermarkets within walking distance of the hotel, so we didn't need to prepare any meals. Savvas the owner is really helpful and quick to respond to any questions. We were really impressed overall with everything during our stay and definitely intend to return.
