Hello! Was at the Orion Hotel on 02-14.09. 2016. Arrived in Rhodes perfectly, on time! The sun is shining, the wave is shaking and warming, the sand with pebbles is creaking... but that's where the charms ended. In the hotel, linen is torn, ants are dark, they clean it every other day, the kitchen is disgusting with sour canned fruits, fresh fruits (watermelon and melon 2 times) taste like grass in the field.

The only rescued Greek yogurt, it is out of competition! On the third day, I took a car from a tour operator, registered it in the reception hall and went to see the island. When I returned, I discovered that I had been robbed. A 3-year-old tablet, a phone charger, sunglasses over 10 years old, a Chinese watch on a colored strap and white sports socks disappeared from a closed room. The money was in the safe, the camera was with me. An appeal to the administration did not lead to anything, the police did not cause. Call the guide, decide at the hotel. And a new guide a day later. On the same day, a family from another room was robbed, which is typical, who designed the car just like me. Which leads to some thoughts. In general, according to the results of the trip: they ruined the vacation, I do not recommend the hotel to anyone.

On Monday, September 5.2016, in the Orion Hotel, Faliraki, Rhodes, 2 rooms where Russian tourists were staying were robbed. The scheme is the same: tourists rented cars, left to see the island, and at that time "someone" (knowing that guests would not appear in the near future) robbed all things, pulled out everything that seemed more or less valuable (because money and documents were in the safe).

Ridiculous as it may seem, the list of valuables included old sunglasses, a phone charger… Both rooms are on the 1st floor, BUT it is impossible to enter from the balcony: the balcony door is locked from the inside, and you can ONLY open it from the inside. Therefore, they entered through the front door, opening it with a key... Conclusion: the hotel staff worked hard. Of course, the staff answered all the questions of the robbed with "surprise, sympathy"... No measures were taken. Dear tourists, I DO NOT ADVISE TO GO to this thieving hotel!

Rested with my husband on the island in June 2016, a week. We chose the hotel among the budget triplets. In general, a very worthy option for your money, did not regret it. We arrived late in the evening, we were quickly issued, we were given bracelets. The room turned out to be small, from the furniture everything is standard, the condition of the furniture is good.

Rested with my husband on the island in June 2016, a week. We chose the hotel among the budget triplets. In general, a very worthy option for your money, did not regret it.
We arrived late in the evening, we were quickly issued, we were given bracelets. The room turned out to be small, from the furniture everything is standard, the condition of the furniture is good.
From the closet - a niche with a bar for hangers and a curtain. Not very convenient, but it does the job.
Air conditioning, fridge and hair dryer were great. The bathroom has a shower and a standard set of plumbing. Safe only at the reception. The room is clean, towels were changed every day, soap and other things were only the first day.
The territory of the hotel is well-groomed. Clean pool. Sea 5-7 minutes walk, sand.
The hotel itself is located away from noisy bars and clubs, so it was very quiet and peaceful in the evening. For those who are interested in nightlife, everything is within walking distance. The length of Faliraki is small, in the center there is a small statue of the Colossus, a church with a garden.
Meals included breakfast and dinner. Breakfasts are always the same in the set of products: fried or boiled eggs (we ate them a year in advance), sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, cheese and ham, yogurt with canned fruit, pastries with additives, muesli with milk, bread. Dinners were more varied: salads, meat, fish, side dishes, vegetables, fruits.
There is a bar on the territory of the hotel next to the pool, where we dined, there was a 5% discount on bracelets.
There are small shops across the road where you can buy water, beer, snacks. We went to the ABC supermarket twice, but it takes 15-20 minutes to walk to it, if you can still walk in the evening, then it’s better not to do this during the day - it’s very hot.
On the day of departure without any problems extended the room until 18-00 for 30 euros.
In general, the hotel left a good impression, the best combination of price and quality.

The hotel is just wonderful! We arrived very early at 6 am, at 6.30 we were already at the hotel. Settled immediately upon arrival, without waiting for 14.00. We took half board, I recommend it to everyone, the food was good! In short, for a C grade hotel at a quite decent level

We chose this hotel only because of the reviews. It was possible to choose 4 stars for the same price, but they were led by good reviews and regretted it. Everything about the hotel was great. But the hotel did not live up to expectations. We got a room in the back building overlooking the garden. Everything would be fine, but only on the second day the air conditioner stopped working.

When asked to repair or just to see what was wrong with him, we were told that the air conditioning for an additional fee of 6 euros per day. At the lobby, the young man immediately began to understand no other language except Greek. And so the rest of the time we suffered at night. It is not possible to open the balcony, mosquitoes eat it. The kitchen is also mediocre. Breakfast daily with one set of products. They didn’t indulge in fruits either, only watermelon and then every other day.

Hotel Orion 3 * was the third in order of transfer from the airport and we got into it in about 30 minutes. 4 families left. Everyone was settled immediately (it was about 7 in the morning) and offered to go to breakfast (from 7 to 10). With us came the overlay. We got into the room only the third time. They gave keys to different vacant rooms in different buildings, but when we got there, it turned out that there was one double bed, which did not suit us, because my mother and teenage son arrived.

Everyone was settled immediately (it was about 7 in the morning) and offered to go to breakfast (from 7 to 10). With us came the overlay. We got into the room only the third time. They gave keys to different vacant rooms in different buildings, but when we got there, it turned out that there was one double bed, which did not suit us, because my mother and teenage son arrived. As a result, for the third time "the old man threw... ", they finally brought us to the back building in room 127 on the first floor. There were 4 beds. Two side by side and a bunk bed. There is also a double wardrobe, a mirror, bedside tables in the room, in the kitchen corner there is a table, chairs, a refrigerator, a kettle. There were only bars of soap in the bathroom. So take shampoo and gel with you. There is a hair dryer, stationary, the power is not adjustable. Breakfast is so-so. Time 7.00 -10.00. 00. But you won't stay hungry. There are fried eggs, ham, cheese, delicious bread. Yogurt is suitable for the son, it can be sprinkled with cereal or raisins. Tea, coffee, water at breakfast for free. Dinner is good. Time 18.00 - 22.00. There were three side dishes to choose from (potatoes, pasta, rice), meatballs, turkey, bolognese sauce. Some salads. There are simply chopped cucumbers, lettuce leaves. Ice cream is soft. But drinks for dinner are not included. For dessert they had watermelon. There are no other fruits in the hotel restaurant, except for a fruit salad for breakfast of canned fruits. Fruit can be bought at the supermarket. Fairly reasonable prices and a good selection in the "AV" supermarket, which can be reached on foot in 10-15 minutes. At the end of June, apricots cost 1.75 euros, peaches -1.45 euros, cherries about 4 euros. The assortment in this supermarket is the same as in our chains. Cheeses, sausages, sour-milk products, household chemicals and more. In order not to carry water from afar, it is better to go to a supermarket near the hotel (1 min. ). There we bought 1.5 liters for 0.7 euros. Tea is best boiled from bottled water. The pool in the hotel is medium in size with clean and warm enough water, but the water in the jacuzzi is not warm, and even colder than in the pool. Lots of sunbeds and umbrellas around the pool. The reviews wrote about mosquitoes. In fact, when you sit at the reception, mosquitoes bite there. I saw that the lady came, asked the spray can to spray from mosquitoes. We lived on the first floor in a distant building overlooking the "garden". We slept with the door closed, with air conditioning. We didn't have mosquitoes in our room. WI-FI is free, there are several networks. There is a network without a password at all, but its radius is limited only by the reception. When this network completely disappeared from us, we asked for a password from a secure one, they gave us a password, and connected. This network has already caught both in the restaurant and in the pool. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to the beach. The hotel is conveniently located on this street perpendicular to the sea, otherwise the next passage is quite far. The beach is sandy. The sea is shallow. In the morning there is a tide, and in the evening you can walk 20 meters and a person of average height will not be above the waist. At the end of June there was a strong wind. If you do not lie on towels and mats, you need to press down with pebbles, preferably heavier. There is a mini-pier on the beach, from which boats depart on schedule to Rhodes, it costs 6.5 euros, it takes about 40 minutes on the way. If you take a boat from Rhodes back to Faliraki in the late. 30), be prepared to miss the Apollo Beach stop and land at the final stop at the end of the beach. This is explained by the tide. Then you will have to walk 15-20 minutes to the hotel, but on the way you will meet McDonald's and you can have a bite to eat there. The bus stop to Lindos and (on the opposite side) to Rhodes is named after the Apollo Beach Hotel and is located 3 minutes from the Orion restaurant. A bus runs to Rhodes every 20 minutes, or even more often. On the way, we often stopped at stops and the trip took 45 minutes, although if you drive by car without stops, it's about 15 minutes. The bus goes to Lindos about 50 minutes; there is a timetable, but be prepared for the buses to be late. We planned to leave on the very first one at 8.20 (20 minutes late). The next scheduled one is at 9.20. Nearby there is a bowling alley and minigolf (7 euros per person). The whole street is filled with shops.

Impressions about the rest are only positive. If you do not look for shortcomings for yourself, this is not so, but this is not so, then this is the best vacation in terms of price and quality. Compared to the 4 stars of Turkey, the 3-star Orion is an order of magnitude better. In general, after reading the previous reviews, I was convinced that the choice was made correctly.

Compared to the 4 stars of Turkey, the 3-star Orion is an order of magnitude better. In general, after reading the previous reviews, I was convinced that the choice was made correctly. For two for 10 nights, together with visas, the ticket cost 62 tr. Upon arrival, they offered the 1st floor overlooking the pool, asked for the 2nd, but there were no available rooms. When we entered the room, we realized that with this accommodation, we can only dream of peace. The first view when opening the balcony - a lady in the body, topless, in front of the window and full of people around the pool (besides the sunny side). True, after 5 minutes a girl from the reception came and offered the keys to the room from the 3rd floor, while with such an apologetic view that the balcony overlooks the opposite side of the pool. On the contrary, we were completely satisfied with it. Moreover, I never understood to come to the sea and splash in a trough (albeit ennobled) with chlorine water. The first difference from previous reviews (the most important) is the working air conditioner. We were not required to pay any additional fees. The presence of an air conditioner (in July in the murderous heat for sure) is a must. We felt this when one late evening the power was turned off for several hours. The second difference is that there were no mosquitoes, although we got everything we could from them. Maybe it's just not the season. Accommodation: breakfast, dinner. Thanks for the advice. During the day, in the heat, there was definitely no time for food. If desired, it was possible to eat at every step, especially, as a rule, because of the hell, from 13 to 16 hours. gave time to excursions to Rhodes or just shopping. Breakfast - buffet, monotonous, but with a normal choice. Dinner is something, different every night, with a choice of two courses. Plus, they bring a side dish and a salad separately before serving the main course, and since the side dish is always of two types (potatoes and rice) is also served with the main order, the portions are impressive. My wife and I have never been able to completely eat the entire dinner (like we were undernourished). After everything not eaten - dessert. The only small drawback is that drinks are paid for dinner, well, in my opinion, this is the case everywhere. By the way, for those who are in Greece for the first time, keep in mind that the portions are impressive everywhere, so when ordering, it’s better to take it in such a way that they bring you the second on a common dish. Yes, we and the salad, having tried each for the first time, later ordered one. At the price of visiting a restaurant (tavern) with two mugs of beer for two, an average of 25 euros came out. As for the holiday itself. To the beach 5-7 minutes without tension. Sand with a small amount of pebbles at the entrance to the sea. Paying 8 euros for sun loungers and a sun lounger was a pity. They took bedding from home and sunbathed beautifully on them. By the way, you can take an umbrella from the sun in any store (the same 8 euros). For 11 days, we didn’t see a cloud, not like rain. In the sun 45C, sea - 25C-27C. We decided to go on excursions on our own. We did not even meet with our representatives from the travel agency. Sea excursions can be ordered right on the beach (it will be cheaper than at their hotel). It's even cheaper to buy directly from Rhodes, but the round-trip, plus extra travel, isn't worth it. We went to about. Symi (25 EUR/person). To be honest, there is a lot of excitement, there are a lot of people of all nations, but the tour itself is so-so. In general, 4 hours on the ferry on the sea (the only thing that swam) and 3 hours on the island. This journey did not cause much enthusiasm. But they killed all day and were exhausted. We traveled around the island in a rented car. I took a Toyota Auris for 2 days for 85 euros, spent 45 euros on gasoline. Traveled all the sights, drove on both sides of the island. In total naezdil 370 km. Minus - there was no guide, but for this I read everything interesting about Rhodes (or you can buy it there for 5 euros) and in some places I had to dodge to find the right object. There were more benefits for us. There was no time limit, we stopped where we wanted, and comfort. The car has air conditioning, navigator in Russian. Rights fit our ordinary. There are no police on the roads. The locals drive like God puts it on their souls: they didn’t care about the double continuous line, the speed limit and the pedestrian crossing. If a car passes you, then a foreigner is driving. The roads are empty by our standards. There are practically no trucks. Ride comfortably. On the fifth day I found places where it is cheaper. I was surprised by the price of whiskey in local shops, as in duty free. Liter Chivas - 36 euros. Soap for gifts - from 80 cents. Oil - from 7 euros. The attitude towards us - the Russians - is normal. Wouldn't say better than others or worse. Just normal. By the way, you can often meet Russian sellers in stores. Who has questions, write, I will answer.

Normal breakfast, scrambled eggs, cold cuts, toast, cheese, jams, cereals, orange juice, watermelon. And the dinners are simply beyond words, the choice of 1 of 2 HOT dishes, for 11 days there has never been anything the same.

And the dinners are simply beyond words, the choice of 1 of 2 HOT dishes, for 11 days there has never been anything the same. Very tasty and a lot, in my opinion better than a buffet, and the waiters are just wonderful. I could not regret that this time I chose 3, albeit without lunch and free drinks, but I spent the money on cafes where I ate seafood every day. There is no animation at all, but still we did not get bored....there would be a desire. My rating is 5+. If you have any questions, write to Ollga_vh@mail. ru
