Allegory Boutique Hotel

I staied at Allegory Hotel from Oktober 15 to 19. Choosing Allegory was the best choice I could have. Allegory is a nice small Hotel situated close to every interesting plce in the old city. The room was very nice with a terrace where the breakfast was served, and it was a very good breakfast. Costantina and Raluca were extremelly friendly and helpful. I enjoied very much my stay at Allegory Hotel

Me and my partner are in our early twenties and stayed here for a week while exploring Rhodes. Allegory Hotel is relaxed, romantic and charming. The central location is amazing and it is easy to walk to restaurants, shops, the marina and nearby bus stops. It felt like a home away from home- Konstantina communicated brilliantly from the moment we booked with any queries we had. We were welcomed with a bottle of white wine to celebrate our anniversary. The lovely Raluca was very kind and helpful throughout our whole stay - she helped us with bookings and gave us a lift on the golf buggy to the walls so we didn’t have to walk far with our luggage. Our room was unique and spacious with fabulous high ceilings and original architecture that felt like stepping back in time. It also had l modern bathroom, lovely comfy bed, and dressing gowns etc. We really liked the speaker system for listening to music in the evening and the spa shower was amazing after beach days. It was always clean and cool. Breakfast was a treat every day. Fresh fruit, yogurt, breads, etc. The chef (whose name I didn’t get sorry) was really friendly and made amazing omelettes and offered any coffee we liked. She remembered little things about us and made us feel at ease. We sat in the terrace and due to the hotel being small it felt so homely and special. Overall we recommend Allegory if you want to have a unique location that adds a touch of magic and luxury to your stay in Rhodes. Our recommendations : pop by the Gelateria next door. We really loved anthony quinn bay (easy to get to by bus) and we did a fabulous kayak tour with Trekking Hellas.

Arrived early, such a welcoming greeting. We were able to leave our bags in our room before the check-in time which was a great help. Stayed in the VIP suite, Andromeda, a nice, clean room. The team are so attentive and friendly. Breakfast was excellent with a varied choice, European. Will return again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at the Allegory. The location is perfect for exploring the Old Town being both central and quiet. The staff were great, in particular Katerina who prepared breakfast everyday and always had a happy friendly smile. Breakfast was simple and a bit repetitive after a few days but perfectly good. The rooms were good, although not luxury. The main thing I think would improve the hotel would be tidying up the veranda areas. Many of the plants in pots had died and others were sitting in a bag waiting to be planted for many days. And a table umbrella was just left abandoned on the veranda generally making the area look a mess. It could be a lovely space but falls a little short. Overall a lovely stay and we would recommend

In my humble opinion, the Allegory should not be viewed simply as a hotel. Why? Because if you are lucky enough to stay here, you become part of their family. Konstantina and her entire team are so very friendly and efficient, it really is hard to see them as “just a hotel”. This is a double compliment as (again, in my opinion) the people of Rhodes are the friendliest in all of Greece. From stepping out of arrivals to see the taxi driver bearing our names, to alighting from our taxi seven days later - it was perfection. Saying that it was like being with family does not mean Allegory isn’t a first rate hotel. Our room (Callisto) was very well equipped as well as extremely comfortable (especially the efficient air-conditioning, much needed in 30 degree plus heat). The bed was perfect and because of the Allegory’s quiet location, a good night's sleep was guaranteed. The mild criticisms from some reviewers regarding breakfast were incorrect (if our experience was typical). I’m not a big breakfast person but the choices were more than enough. In fact, Konstantina seemed a little upset that I wasn’t taking advantage of the eggs, omelettes, granola and other items available if you just asked. One day she brought out some of her home made cakes and they were absolutely delicious. There was only one aspect that could be a problem, Callisto can only be reached by a flight of stairs. This presented no problems whatsoever, to a couple of seventy year olds but we don’t have any mobility issues. I cannot stress how good the location of the hotel is. You are a five minute stroll to the busy Sokratous Street with its many shops, bars and restaurants. Speaking of which, all of Konstantina’s restaurant recommendations proved to be excellent. Of course, our tastes and budgets may differ from yours. Also, next door is the best ice cream parlour in the city - absolutely delicious. We spoke to a couple during the week who had also booked a hotel in Rhodes old town centre and they were quite envious of our quiet nights. Their hotel had quite a bit of late-night noise from the nearby bar. In conclusion, the next time we visit Rhodes (and we will) we will stay nowhere else. A true five star experience.
