My mate found this Pension in the Lonely Planet guidebook as a "little known" but great spot, so we booked for August 2017. It was gorgeous and charming, a way of inviting visitors to participate in the ancient history of Old Town. This converted home was once used by Ottaman royalty. It still has the feel, but with great A/C. We got the room Lonely Planet advises, at the top with it's own balcony overlooking the city, and spent mornings and evenings there relaxing, drinking wine and enjoying the view. Because of it's age, it is a different place and may not be for you, the bathrooms are not modern, for example. But it was the best place we stayed at in Greece. The hostess, Suzanne, helped us navigate the city and bus lines to see this beautiful island and take in all the beaches. Steps away from the Pension is the most fantastic seafood restaurant ever. The Pension, as with anything in Old Town, is not easy to find, so I suggest you contact them directly to book and to help arrange transport, etc. We stayed 5 nights in August, saw Old Town, bussed to Lindos, went diving, relaxed and found lots of beaches to visit within 15 minutes.

Stayed for a few nights. More like a BnB with your own bathroom. The inn keeper lady was very nice and helpful. She would serve us a very lovely breakfast every morning on the roof top patio. The views of the old town and the coast of Turkey in the distance where great. It was somewhat hard to find at first. We did the mistake of getting there on our own from the airport. It's up on top of the mountain and quite the climb dragging luggage. Taxi cabs can't make it there because the streets are to small. I would recommend taking them up on their shuttle pickup offer that brings you right to the hotel. Very quiet at night to sleep. One more thing...no TV...but good WIFI.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Hotel Andreas for 7 nights in the middle of September. We had a wonderful holiday made all the better for waking up to a delicious breakfast on the hotel's beautiful terrace. Tucked away high up on the quieter southern end of the Old Town, the view from the terrace is breathtaking. We stayed in Room 12, which is the cheapest option, but was cosy and full of character, featuring wooden beams across the ceiling and an old stone fireplace (plus mirror, sink, toilet, shower, wardrobe, drawers and 3 single beds). There was also a mini fridge, which was kindly replenished with bottles of water each morning. We were warmly welcomed by Humberto, who was always willing to stop and chat, giving us lots of helpful tips on how to spend our days. He was both friendly and professional. Unfortunately we didn't catch the name of the lady who served us breakfast each morning, but she was also very friendly - we are grateful to her tolerance of us being the last to get up every morning! Finally, the hotel provides an airport pickup and drop off service, which was hugely helpful and well organised. Thank you to everyone at Hotel Andreas!
