" I am just home from an excellent week... "
Submitted By: Miss M Mc Dowell
I am just home from an excellent week in Faliraki, the orion was very clean and the rooms were spacious and comfortable.
The staff were very friendly and could not do enough to help no matter what time of the day or night. The poolside bar was excellent as you didnt have to travel far at any time of the day for snacks.
The orion is a good choice for both young people and families.
all in all it was a very enjoyable week and the staff at the Orion should be congragulated:)

Just returned from a week at the Orion in Faliraki and would definitely recommend these apartments!!
The rooms were very spacious and clean with good sized balconies. Towels and sheets were changed every other day. Bathroom was good size with a decent powerful shower.
Air con is available for 5 euros per day, definitely needed in August as temp was in the high 40s all week.
The pool area was fantastic, always lots of sunbeds available no matter what time you went there, the jacuzzi was lovely too.
The poolside bar was open all day and late at night serving food and drink. The restaurant was lovely too with a massive choice of meals and very nice and friendly staff.
There is a supermarket across the road and lots of nice restaurants nearby.
The apartments are situated at the top of club street, but are far enough away that they are really peaceful.
Bars and clubs were a good laugh, however the resort wasn't as busy as expected.
Would definitely stay at the Orion again in the future, all the bar workers came to use the pool area as they all agreed it was one of the best in Faliraki.

" I have just returned from a family... "
Submitted By: Miss Carrianne
I have just returned from a family holiday at these studios. There is nothing i can fault really, the rooms were good the only thing missing was a kettle otherwise it was great. Food was good, pool area was clean and good, sunbeds were easy to get as they wernt all reseverd by others so there was no fighting to get one. Staff were great 'nikos/kilyakos/charlie and his wife and children. They were all friendly and willling to help you if you had any problems. The bar stayed open until 3am normally then you had to go sit on the tables by the pool so the bar could be shut up. The beach is about 5 mins if that away and there is a harbour about 25 minutes walk away. If you go on trips out Rhodes town is recommended especially a walk round the castle, its 2 euros on the bus, the water park is really good,, its worth going!

Just got back from a lads holiday in faliraki. Weve stopped at the orion studies 5 years ago and nothing has changed! Pool,room,food,drinks and especially the staff (Zoe and 'Nikos') were spot on.
Nightlife isnt what it used to be, but we still had a good time. Would recommend to anyone.

" We went to the Orion in 2006 and... "
Submitted By: Miss K Brown
We went to the Orion in 2006 and stayed in the studios. Do not have one bad word to say about this place! Very tidy and clean rooms, big balcony, excellent pool which was well maintained, plenty of sunbeds and the food was excellent in the restaurant and the pool bar! Didn't think we would enjoy much of the food (especially greek specialities) but it was great! Try Mousakka! The hotel is family run, you will not find better people than these ones! Terry, Maria, George, Michael and especially Costas was amazing! Even those whom i missed out. I remember on my last day i tried to push Costas in the pool and he took me with him! Also i was given my own name tag as a member of security with Costas! I also remember nights where i sat in the reception with the guys in the middle of the night watching security cameras! I wouldn't go to Rhodes and stay anywhere else but the Orion! Faliraki itself was amazing, buzzing night life (eventhough i wouldn't recommend it for elderly in peak season) The only down fall about Faliraki is the PR's.... dont fall for the jazz they tell you, if you want to go in, go in! But don't be bribed by these people! I highly recommend Bunnys Bar, The Venue and Xcite (which is Michael's bar from the Orion, so he claims!) 11 out of 10 for me! I will definately go back! Also Angelos Bar along the opposite end from bar street and club street is a very friendly family run bar! Thanks for reading! If anyone knows what tour operator the Orion is with now let me know!

Submitted By: Mrs A Alban
Stayed at the Orion for a week in May. Had a fabulous holiday, really enjoyed every minute. The hotel was spotless, rooms cleaned and towels changed daily. Pool bar with Zoe and Charlie was excellent. Restaurant with Maria and George was equally as good. Everyone was very friendly and could not do enough to make sure our holiday was exactly what we wanted. Very pleased with flight with Kosmar as they have not been up to standard in the past. Only thing we are sorry about is our bus to return arrived very early and we were unable to say goodbye to everyone. Never mind, see you all in September.

We have stayed at the Orion for the last 5 years and have had memorable holidays there. We have been looking on the Kosmar web site to book May 2009 but they don't seem to be advertising it. If anyone is going this year could you please find out what tour operator they are dealing with next year . Your help would be much appreciated.

" Spent a lovely week at the Orion in... "
Submitted By: Mr M HAYNES
Spent a lovely week at the Orion in September 07
Maria, George and all the other staff were just unbelieveably friendly, always there for anyone no matter what time of day or night it was.
Always had our evening meal in the restaurant, the food and service was just fantastic, try the swordfish, its gorgeous.
Pool was lovely, with the bar only inches away, just dont mention the karaoke night lol.
Local shops and the gorgeous beach are only a short walk away, and the shops are very cheap.
(Think we stayed the same week as Miss Preston and friend !!)
Communication with the rep was non-existant apart from the second day we were there, when all she wanted was to promote their trips, didnt see her for the rest of the holiday, wasnt even there to see us off. Had a problem with the airport, and had to get help from another companys rep to deal with the language problem. Good job that the hotel staff were so brilliantly helpful.
Definately want to go again..................................................YAMASS

" This hotel is definatly the best... "
Submitted By: Miss J Fois
This hotel is definatly the best hotel in the area, and i saw about 3 on my 2 week sunny fun packed holiday in 2006. Myself and 1 friend went and we had a fantastic time! The resturant is gorgeous with lovely food and the staff are very friendly and not afraid to join in and have a natter. Maria was fantastic, and so welcoming! The bar is great with on site tv and pool table along with various games machines. I was there when Italy were playin in the final of the world cup and the atmosphere was AMAZING! People from other hotels are welcome and many came to the Orion to join in with the fun! In this case we met loads of people from all parts of england and still keep in touch regularly!
The pool is big and spacious, and there is a small pool for younger children i.e babies/toddlers. The security is good. The location of the hotel is absolutly perfect... based on club street with bar street only a 5 min walk down to the end of club street, the nightlife is frantic! If you want a quiet holiday then this is not the best place to be especially at night! Although would probably vairy at different times of year! Each bar/club has its own fantastic deals although i do recommend bar 24 as it has a deal which includes drinks and a meal inclusive for i think when i went was 15 euros! BARGAIN! perfect for a 18-30 holiday ... or anyone lookin to have an action packed good time!

" We have visited the Orion every year... "
Submitted By: Mrs S A Vickerage
We have visited the Orion every year since 2005 and this year will be no exception, what a wonderful place.
The staff treat us more like family than guests, the food is outstanding, the rooms are basic but spotless, and my family and I cannot wait to head back there again this year.
The 1st year we went we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, everyone there made it such a special time for us. I also celebrated a birthday there on another visit, Maria got me the most beautiful cake, and after our evening meal in the restaurant all the waiters sang happy birthday to me.
Rhodes is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, the sights are amazing, the locals very friendly, nothing is too much trouble for the Greek people; but the Orion is the place to stay.
The staff,Maria,George,Charlie,Zoe,Terry Costa and everyone who works there are truly good people who will go out of their way to help you from calling a taxi to drawing a map to show you how to get from a to b.
I can honestly say the only problem they have never been able to sort for me and my family is the mozzies and believe me they’ve even tried to sort them out. We strongly recommend the Orion and promise you won’t be disappointed.

" The accommodation, pool, bar and... "
Submitted By: Miss G Jones
The accommodation, pool, bar and restaurant were all brilliant. The rooms are basically furnished but a lot better than most Greek studios.
We were advised by our travel agent that Faliraki would still be open in October. IT ISN'T! Everything closes, and I mean EVERYTHING in October. DO NOT GO IN OCTOBER, unless you are an elderly couple, and even then I think you would struggle to find anything to do. I went for a week with some friends and it rained 5 days out of 7.

" Brilliant hotel, huge pool, clean... "
Submitted By: Miss K Brant
Brilliant hotel, huge pool, clean rooms and massive balcony's!! Food was delicious, best place to eat is the Orion pool bar or restaurant. Nicest looking hotel in that area of Faliraki. Booked as a last minute deal and was more than we could have wished for.
Maria is a lovely lady, very welcoming and always smiling. Faliraki was almost completely shut at time of year that we went but a good time for families to go. Still a few bars open, bowling, mini golf and lots of shops to keep you entertained. Rhodes very close by.
Will definately be going back as soon as!
