Lydia Hotel

This hotel has a 5 star rating..?? Staff is friendly, hotel location is great, Elli beach a 10 minute walk, shopping and bars at your finger tips, but hotel is tired and old looking. It needs renovating. For what you get, we found it pricey. Internet was switched of apparently at night we believe due to the cost. Air conditioning was only in in the hotel at certain times again a cost saver we believe. Our aircon was left on and we left to explore on our returning the card was missing and we were told we don't need it on all day as the room is small and would cool in no time?? Rhodes had a heatwave and 85% humidity at the time ? The best was I needed to make a phone call prior to our departure. I dialled the number and reception answered informing me I could not make calls until after 7am it was 6.45am?? The female staff had to start work?? My husband ate breakfast the first morning and never again. Location is the only thing going for it. Disappointed and expensive.

The rooms were stuffy and very uncomfortable, nothing like the pictures showed. The breakfast was mediocre. We would never stay there again if we went back.

Had to go to Rhodes at very short notice. I've stayed at Lydia quite a few times so contacted them. Anna on reception was marvellous, booked me into the last available room , luckily a single, and I kept the hotel and Anna updated as the day after I booked the ferry times changed by 6 hours!! It was an official visit, not a couple of days rest,and the girls on reception even got a map out and ensured I knew how to reach where I was going. So very helpful. The air conditioner in my single room was good too, its been very hot in Greece over the last couple of weeks wasn't conducive to official documents signing etc!!! I'll be back.
