Filoxenia Hotel Apartments

€8 Per night for Air-Con never heard of this in my lifetime owner is very aggressive. Constant noise of Aircraft and Dogs barking from nearby house the food is not nice but there are a few nice places to eat nearby this place isnt actually in Rhodes town it is actually on the remote outskirts.

I had a lovely time at the Filoxenia Apartments. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I stayed in a superior apartment - which I wasn't expecting. The beds were made and bins emptied every day which is more than normal in an apartment. It was my first holiday alone and I met lots of lovely people, some of these had stayed many times before. The beach, supermarkets and restaurants are all within a few minutes walk. Theologos village is well worth the 35 minute walk to get there, but note that the taverna only opens during the evenings. I will definitely go to these apartments again. The only downside was the taxes to be paid at the end of the holiday and I would have preferred to pay on arrival, but this is the Theologos way.

Positives - Friendly staff, good location near beach, quiet beaches. Near buy shop. We would definitely return to this hotel for an end of season break. Hotel food was homemade, and the BBQ was very good. Also enjoyed the live music. Negatives - I find it a bit underhand to not inform guests of the safety deposit box charge. When I went to enquire, I was given the key, but the owner failed to tell me there would be a charge of €21 for the week. Even if this was supposedly written on the love holiday spiel, or somewhere in the hotel info, it would have been courteous to mention it in person. The same goes for the local taxes - you are informed at checkout this needs to be paid, I think we should have been told at check-in. So, we had €42 euro to pay at checkout, which needn't have been a surprise, if there had been appropriate communication on check-in. Therefore, I would recommend the management improve their communication with guests regarding the upfront fees. Lastly, the photos of hotel rooms (inside) on their website and love holiday booking page, are a misrepresentation of reality. I appreciate they are standard basic greek accommodation, but the photos portray a nicer internal space than what you actually get. Not hotel related - but just a note about local supermarkets - do not expect a proper supermarket. There are a few on the stretch of road - the one nearest to hotel sells bare minimum, if you walk further down on the same side, there is a shop with lilos etc outside, and this is the best equipped & has many tourist souvenirs, but also has better stock of basic items.
