Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
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.

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.

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 .

Friends recommended Sofia’s to us and we loved staying here.
Sofia and her family are very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. They arranged a car hire, advised a great place to go to use a pool for the day, and were on hand to help with any questions we had.
The building is a previous family home which has been turned into a guest house. The rooms are well equipped and it was a great base for exploring Rhodes.
The breakfast on the upper terrace was great, plenty of food to set you up for the day.
We are planning to return later on the year and we will definitely stay at Sofias again.

This is really a lovely family run pension in the heard of the old town. Ideal location to explore the city as well as the beaches, which are a short stroll away. The staff is fantastic. You will come across different members of the family and they are all extremely helpful and friendly. Definitely a place to go back to.

Nothing is too much trouble for Sophia, the rooms are very comfortable with excellent air con, her breakfasts are ample and everything is fresh, the homemade marmalade is delicious! Perfectly located in a quiet corner, just off the busy streets in the centre of the Old Town. Highly recommended! The roof terrace is perfect for a sit and relax after a busy day.

I got very lucky with Sofia approaching me at the port when I arrived . I'm a solo traveler that hadn't book a hotel yet and to have a woman there I felt safe and assured she would take care of me . The hotel is in a great location . The room was cozy , very clean and a warm feeling of home . Sofia was so accommodating I wanted to call her Mom . I highly recommend this place.

Really enjoyed staying here as it was reasonable price and a great location, rooms were clean. The owners were lovely... until the day we checked out. We were catching the ferry to Athens all was going well until the owner Sophia appeared on board shouting and screaming at me! she stated I/we had stolen her mobile phones! After being harrassed by her and trying to be dragged off the boat I agreed to be searched by port authority where they found nothing! Sophia went from alovely host to a screaming nutcase! For these reasons I would never stay here again!!!!!
