Acandia Hotel

Having a week vacation in Acandia Hotel. The location in the city centre is excellent: within 1 km you can reach the whole Rodos city. In case your room is in lower floors looking to the street, there is some traffic during the day and additional noise comes from bar(s) in the neighbourhood. However, we're very pleased concerning the cleanliness of the rooms, excellent breakfast and the overall atmostphere of accomodation in this hotel. Yes, highly recommended!

This is a vey comfortable hotel. Our bed was so huge I wasn’t sure when my partner was in it. Although our balcony faced the main road, it still felt private and had a handy drop-down rail for drying clothes. The en-suite is good and the shower was excellent, but we thought the shower head at waist height was the main shower and didn’t find the button that switched to the overhead shower until the last day. Doh!

There is limited storage space, two small drawers and some shelves. There are more hangers than you often get in a hotel, but I still brought more and needed them.

The hotel doesn’t do an evening meal, but there are many tavernas and pubs nearby and at the reception desk, they advertise deliveries in case you want a night in.

The room has 3 electric sockets and 2 USB charger slots. The bathroom has one socket and a hairdryer.

I’m pleased that the chambermaids didn’t insist on putting the extraneous pillows and cushions back on the bed each day after we removed them on the first day. The staff are very friendly. Breakfast is multicultural and must have something for everyone.

The pool is open from 10 to 5 and only catches the sun between these times. There are bar snacks and the bar serves the pool area. Reception provides pool towels which can be changed every 2 days.

I like the location. Come out of the hotel and turn left and you will quickly come to the beaches (gravelly) on the Northern tip of the island. Come out of the hotel and continue straight and you will come to the harbour. Go right from there and you will come to the windmills and the old town.

Come out of the hotel and go right. After a little way you will pass a Spar on the left which has a bakery. (Handy for getting fresh sandwiches and coffee, milk and sugar as you don’t get refills in the room once you’ve used the complementary stuff.) Continue on to the top of the hill where the huge trees are, then turn left and go down the hill. At the bottom you will find the tourist end of the bus station. Do use the buses. Two of us went to Lindos and back for 22 euros and the 7 springs for 16 euros. Turn right after the bus station and you soon reach an entrance to the old town.

Often the hotel has some kind of entertainment in the evenings such as a singer, piano player or tango dancers. It’s all very decorous.

The bar is good and you get free crisps and nuts with each drink.
