Hotel Nathalie

This trip was my friend’s first visit to Greece and this hotel was beyond her expectations. It is only a short walk from a busy main road but situated in a quiet neighbourhood. We were not disturbed by any noise. The hotel is beautifully decorated with artistic details such as small lamps, tapestries and the ubiquitous blue eye. The reception staff were lovely. A big thank you to Fotini for being so helpful. My favourite part of the hotel was the lovely shaded courtyard where you could have breakfast in the company of a small ginger cat! We visited in early October which was near the end of the season, so there were a limited no of restaurants open. Would recommend Sirtaki (on the main road). Good helpings and authentic Greek food. I would have given 4.5 stars if possible. For me, the only downside was that our room was quite small and there was no safe in the room itself. I believe there was some kind of safe arrangement at the reception. These are two very minor issues which did not spoil our holiday. Overall we had an excellent and peaceful stay. Would definitely recommend this hotel to other visitors.

Hidden Nugget is often an over used cliche but absolutely appropriate in this case. We had been warned that our transfer coach couldn't drop us right outside but at 11pm we were a little concerned to be pointed " up there " before he drove off leaving us at end of a darkish road. However it was not a big problem ,about 250 yards along a flat well made road which seemed to shorten as our holiday progressed we found Nathalie. If you would struggle with such a walk ensure you organise a taxi transfer. Other than this we found this hotel friendly, not too large, well designed and decorated with comfortable clean rooms , a nice pool , and overall excellent staff from cleaners to reception to bar, etc . Big thanks to Paula , Fotina, Juli, Kevin ,and particularly Maria who seemed to be on duty continously, providing an excellent breakfast then on duty at pool snack bar until late afternoon. Apologies for omissions and any mispellings. We did have 3 minor issues that were reported and never really dealt with but even these did not spoil our holiday and I would happily recommend the hotel to anyone interested in a lovely spot on Rhodes. Green covered hills to the rear giving a rural impression ,with a 5 minute walk along above mentioned quiet road to the main road means the hotel is peaceful .However once on the main road there is ample choice of restaurants and shops in Ixia as well as easy access to the beaches and nearby Ilyasos in walking distance . You would have to be a very keen walker to stroll all the way into Rhodes Town but there are ample cheap buses which take only 12-15 mins at 2 or 3 Euros, as well as a shuttle from a larger nearby hotel slightly more expensive and quite reasonable taxis (c15 Euro I believe). If we return to Rhodes Nathalie will be our first choice.
