Sofia Pension

What an exceptional host Sofia is , even before we got there for our stay she went out of her way to help us , our ferry crossing was cancelled because of bad weather and when we contacted her to tell her she rebooked our room for us with no problems whatsoever. The welcome you get when you arrive is warm and friendly and nothing seems to be much trouble for her , Sofia is a wonderful host . The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the old town and an excellent base for exploring, it is close to many restaurants and sights . The rooms are warm and comfortable and the breakfast which is served on the terrace is amazing , lots of choice . This hotel is a little hidden gem and I would definitely stay here again .

What a wonderful place to stay! The food, location and ambience are fantastic. Very close to all the Old Town sights. Sofia is a generous and very helpful hostess. Nothing was too much trouble. Home from home. Would recommend wholeheartedly!

I really enjoyed the family atmosphere at Sofia’s pension. The amazing Sofia would climb a flight of stairs to the rooftop terrace with a tray of home made goodies for breakfast each morning. It was a delightful atmosphere and small enough that the various guests felt quite comfortable talking to each other over breakfast. The location was brilliant, right near the main road, but far enough away to be really quiet. This meant easy access to a huge range of restaurants and shops. Most cars are not allowed into the Old town because of the narrow streets, but Sofia arranged for one of the few people who had a permit to get inside to collect me from the airport and deliver me to her door. The pension is her old family home and she treats each of her guests as family, but is not intrusive.

This is a wonderfully homely hotel in an excellent location. The owner Sofia goes above and beyond to ensure all her guests are happy and feel like they are special. Her rooms are quaint but very clean with exceptionally comfortable beds. We were in room 4 which had a spacious en suite shower room and looked out onto a pretty terrace where breakfast was served. Sofia makes her own jams, marmalades and little Greek sweet cakes/breads. Breakfast comes with toast, Greek yoghurt, fresh fruit, boiled eggs, delicious feta cheese, honey, her homemade selections, tea, coffee, orange juice etc. Nothing is too much trouble. Room cleaning is daily with fresh towels and linen. Sofia and her daughter kindly printed documents we needed and arranged an electric cart free of charge to get as to the hotel when we arrived and again upon check out so that we didn't have to trawl our suitcases across the cobbled streets of the old town. Regular taxis and airport transfers are not allowed within the walls of the old town so they drop off and collect you at one of the many "gates". A magnificent stay at a comfortable, very reasonably priced hotel where you are treated with great attention and met with warm, genuine smiles each time you see Sofia, her daughter or staff. We plan to return in Spring 2024! Recommend you book direct on her website as she offers best price and you pay at the end of your stay.

This place is a gem! Location is quiet, yet in the center of old town. The place itself is beautiful and peaceful - full of flowers and plants and the rooftop terrace has amazing views over old town. And Mrs. Sofia herself and her helper is so kind and helpful in every way. Everything was well organized. We felt so wellcome and enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

The owner, Sofia and Maria who works there made me feel like home. They are lovely people. The place is very clean, great breakfast, very convenient location. I would love to come back and stay longer next time. Thanks for your hospitality. Lutfi (Ty) Havlioglu

The location of this hotel is amazing!! It's right in the centre of the beautiful medieval city of Rhodes. There are many restaurants, cafes, and bars nearby, but this hotel is just far enough away that you're not disturbed by any noise. The property is pretty and quaint. The people who run it are lovely, friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this little family run hotel.

After visiting Rhodes about ten times over the last 39 years (!) we finally discovered this wonderful hotel less than 150 metres from the main shopping area, tavernas and bars, and really wish we had found it years ago. From the start, communication was superb, with almost instant replies to our questions. Late check in was explained perfectly, though in the end not necessary as the taxi driver let us in, and even carried our bags up to the room! We asked them to arrange a taxi to take us from the airport to the hotel inside the city walls and they arranged that wonderfully. Moses was brilliant (it's worth booking him just for the ride through the narrowest streets ever, packed with shoppers and merchandise!) The room was clean and very attractive, the bed comfortable and, as everyone mentions, contains a refrigerator, which is a fabulous touch. Breakfast is well worth the price, and the lady serving us (who also cleaned the rooms) was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble. In order to provide balance we should, I suppose, mention the only negative - the towels are as scratchy as hell. There, that's it. Nothing else. From now on, this is the only place in Rhodes Town that we would ever consider staying, thank you so much for everyone for making our holiday one of the best ever.

Lovely quiet room (no.9), good location, friendly staff, great to have to roof terrace for outside space to have an evening drink
