STAY Rhodes HoStel & Bar

The staff were super lovely! Made me feel at ease straight away. As a solo female, it's always quite daunting travelling, especially abroad, but I felt so safe. The female at reception also showed me to my room- on the way to the room, we were chatting, I mentioned that it was my birthday and she said "OMG whattt! It's mine tomorrow!"- just super friendly. The hostel hosts different things each night (so one night is karaoke, another would be pasta night- which was yum), but one of the things they offered was a sunset sail boat trip. When I tell you, how incredible it was. It was 25euros, and transfer from the hostel to the marina was provided, a drink was provided and I got to meet a group of lovely fellow solo travellers. We were taken- on the sailing boat- to a lovely bay, where we had fair amount of time to have a swim around (pretty sure we had a whole hour), then once back on board, were given a drink. On the sail back to the marina, we watched the sunset and listened to music (I'll see if I can find some photo's to attach). Just good vibes. The communication from the hostel, was also brilliant. I'd even contacted them prior to my arrival, to see if they'd be able to offer advice on how to travel from bus from the airport to the property and they promptly sent step by step instructions/tips. Just fabulous! The location of the hostel was also ideal. To walk to the beach (a bit where you can plonk your towel/rent a sunbed and have a swim, probably took 10/15 mins). There's shops/restaurants all around- whether you're wanting snacky bits, meals out, drinks or a full on shopping marathon, there's everything. STAY also provided free aircon, fan, WI-FI (great WI-FI as well) etc. So good.

The atmosphere is quite social with friendly staff. The place is well kept and tidy. The pier, Ellis beach and old town are easily accessible on foot.

In Rhodes' "low season", this hostel was an unexpected treasure. Situated just off a shopping street, a five-minute walk to bus stations, ten minutes to Medieval city. Stay Hostel was clean, friendly, both manager and staff knowledgeable and friendly, with two outdoor terraces and a restaurant-bar. (We only had coffee, so don't know about food.) Rooms and shared bathroom were spotless, beds made up every three days. After a long day of hiking to old cities or traipsing through the Medieval town, it was a pleasure to return.

I had a really great time at this hostel. The staff were very friendly, communicative, and yet highly professional ,especially for a hostel. This made it much easier to connect with other guests, and it was really easy to socialize and meet new people. The hostel is located in the city center, close to restaurants, bars, and the beach. It has a large terrace and offers a variety of activities—there was a pasta night, karaoke, happy hour, and much more. I was pleasantly surprised and it definitely made my stay even more enjoyable on an already beautiful island and in a lovely place.

well as a first time solo traveller i searched so many places and the energy, vibe, positivity of this place really attracted me. the rooms and other parts of the facility is always clean. there are lots of different activities where you can meet other people. the location is so good you can walk to different beaches, old town, city center and also to the bus station if you wanna go to lindos or kallithea by bus. the hostel staff are very friendly and helpful. actually i did not experienced any bad things and did not want to leave this place. thank you for everything xx
