Constantin Hotel

Just back from a wonderful week in Rhodes.
Can't tell you much about the island as we chose a relaxing holiday & didn't do much travelling around, but Rhodes Town is just gorgeous.
Well, Old Town that is.
It's amazing, a maze of narrow streets, leading to bustling little squares, we found new streets every time we went for a stroll. I've honestly never been anywhere prettier in all my life, would recommend to anyone.
Temperatures in August were around 33 degrees, but there was a very welcoming breeze which kept everything bearable. It's definitely more a Scandinavian resort. Not many English / Irish to be seen or heard!!!!
The beach is just pebble, so not that great, but the water is lovely & warm, there's plenty of water sports to do & lots of sun loungers, so I guess it depends on what you're after.
We found a gorgeous restaurant that was so good we went 3 times!! I can't remember it's name. It's wasn't called Olympia, but something like that. It's just off to the left of Socratous St, & directly across from Romeos restaurant. I had Soutzoukakia & Stifado (2 traditional Greek dishes) there & it was gorgeous.
The Hotel:-
Outside impressions aren't great, but not worrying either. The lobby is nice.
The rooms could do with a bit of refurbishment but they are spotless & more than adequate. Cleaned & new towels everyday. Pool area is reasonable, perhaps a little small. Buffet breakfast is adequate:- rolls, croissants, bread, selection of cold meats, cheese, olives, cucumber, tomato, type salad items, toast, hard-boiled eggs, muesli & cornflakes, tea, coffee or juice, & you can take as much as you like.
The bar is reasonable priced & the staff are friendly. It was my partners birthday while we were staying & the hotel sent up a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine to our room (they checked the booking details, as we did not tell them) It was a really nice gesture.
The hotel is centrally located, pretty close to everything. One of the roads outside can be a bit noisy, but didn't actually prevent me from sleeping. Some nice views from the room. You pay extra from air-con, (€6-8 per day, can't exactly remember), you definitely need it).
We went to Lindos, quite picturesque, the acropolis (€6) is quite nice, but it's very warm, plus there's a nice beach. We went to the water park (€20ea for adults), pleasant day out.
Went to Turkey for a day. Rep was charging €90 each per adult, we booked it down at the harbour for €45 each (including the port tax). A courtesy bus picks you up in Marmaris (Turkey), they bring you to a Gold Centre, to the bazaar, to a carpet shop & to a Turkish Delight factory.
If you enjoy shopping, then the new town is full of all the big designer named shops.
All in all, a really enjoyable holiday & I wouldn't hesitate to return to the Constantin hotel again.
