The hotel is the most value for money, if you are not going to spend all the time in it. Normal rooms, working plumbing, friendly staff. Dinners in the neighboring "quartet" - generally beyond praise.
Very good location - on the one hand, it is the penultimate one in the first line of Rhodes (from the Aegean Sea), so it is relatively quiet. On the other hand, it’s about seven minutes walk to the disco street, a little more to the Port, the Old Town and the bus station.
The beach is pebbly, but there are no corals, so you don’t need slippers, but if your feet suddenly feel uncomfortable, they cost 4-5 euros in supermarkets at hotels. Fans of sandy beaches can easily get to the beaches of Faliraki by rented car or taxi (25 minutes) or by bus (comfortable Mercedes run from the bus station every half an hour until late in the evening, ticket 2.2 euros).

In general, it makes no sense to sit in a hotel - there are a lot of picturesque places on the island (and not only by the sea, but also in the mountains, one Mussolini dacha is worth something), beaches, by the way, the Old Town is much more beautiful in the evening.
It is more profitable to buy sea excursions at the port, sightseeing tours of the island are nothing at all - a continuous advertisement of shops and "unique liquors" (at least from Pegasus) - it is much more interesting to wander / drive yourself, after having familiarized yourself (at home) with the help of the Internet with the history of the island.
Feel free to rent a car, if there is still heavy traffic in Rhodes itself, but practically without traffic jams, then outside the capital of the island there is generally grace, mostly tourists drive, look for sights on the maps and therefore are in no hurry) Yes, and a few of them. The locals are willing to show you the way.
Yes, about food. Portions in the cafe are really huge) but very tasty - so those who are on a diet, be careful)
