Rhodes Old Town provides a welcoming environment for budget travelers, featuring several well-regarded hostels and guesthouses that blend affordability with opportunities for social interaction and easy access to the historic city.
1. Rhodes Backpackers Boutique Hostel and Apartments
Type: Hostel & Apartments
Stepping into Rhodes Backpackers, one immediately feels a warm, friendly atmosphere, largely thanks to the welcoming owners who often engage with guests. This hostel fosters a social environment with common areas for mingling, and I found it easy to connect with fellow travelers over shared meals or through activities like organized trips to the beach and nights out in the Old Town. It feels like a home away from home, balancing private spaces with opportunities for connection.
2. Rhodes Youth Hostel
Type: Hostel
Located directly within the heart of Rhodes Old Town, this hostel offers an unbeatable base for exploring the medieval city on foot. The attentive management ensures a clean and comfortable stay, and I appreciated the convenience of a shared kitchen for preparing meals. Its central location, just minutes from major historical sites, naturally brings guests together, creating an easy-going, social setting perfect for solo travelers aged 18-40.
3. STAY Hostel & Bar Rhodes
Type: Hostel & Bar
STAY Hostel provides a lively and modern experience, perfect for those looking to meet new people. The on-site bar and organized events, from communal breakfasts to evening gatherings, actively encourage social interaction. I found it to be a well-designed space that combines excellent value with a prime location, offering easy walks to both the Old Town's historical sites and nearby beaches.
