Kokkini Porta Rossa

We visited Rhodes to get married with my girlfriend. The wedding morning, the place we were staying had problems about shower and I started looking for a decent place with at least hot water to get a nice shower. Well, I randomly found this place while walking and then the rest is the wedding gift of God to us. That's truely how we me and my girlfriend felt. No comment I will make here can describe the beauty and sincerity of Angelo, Nikos and Paris. The hotel itself is already outstanding but Angelo, Nikos and Paris, their service is out of this world. This hotel's ratings is currently 9.9/10 but not gonna lie, there should be another level for this place. If you come to Rhodes and don't stay here, you lose so much.

This place is absolutely amazing and the owners are truly wonderful. They were so attentive to us personally and were very thoughtful in what they suggested we do while there. Once they decided, they helped arrange it all. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Plus Rhodes should be on everyone’s list to visit.

My wife and I have probably stayed in 150 hotels (mostly abroad but some in the US) in the last eleven years since we started traveling. This hotel, Kokkini Porta Rosa, is by far the best. We see the owners Nikos and his wife Angela at least twice a day. Angela cooks breakfast with four unique courses every day. Nikos makes sure we see the appropriate sites and books tickets, guides and rides for us. Paris, their son, is a concert pianist who practices every afternoon, which is a lovely respite after a day out sightseeing. There is an open (free!) bar in the room, restocked daily with ice and the booze we are drinking. They ply us with drinks and snacks whenever we walk through the lobby. The building is the reconstructed garrison at the St John’s Gate, one of the nine gates into Rhodes Medieval City. Parts of the building are 800 years old! The hotel has six rooms, no smoking, and no kids! Just a lovely place to stay! The location is perfect for exploring Rhodes. I can’t say enough about this hotel. Unqualified recommendation.

Wow. This hotel is a stunning, beautiful boutique hotel which oozes style and charm, in a wonderfully tranquil part of Rhodes Old Town. The service is the best I’ve experienced, and I’ve stayed in many high end hotels. Nikos & his wife Angela ensure you have everything you need in relation to local info, bookings, and even an app tailored to your room each day. The service is polite yet personal. The breakfast is a four course a La carte high end experience, beautifully presented and served in the tranquil, beautiful shaded garden. They remember what you want each day. I guarantee you, you will not have had better service at breakfast. Nikos, Angela and Julia are excellent. Outstanding. The suites are beautiful and spacious. And it’s the little things that make it - plenty of hooks in the bathroom, 2 suitcase holders (things you never see anywhere), eau de toilettes etc left in room, and yes, a fridge with wine and soft drinks and cocktail cabinet with full large bottles of top notch spirits!! Unbelievable! Beach bag too, and when you walk back in, Paris (who also plays piano in foyer) offers to take your supplied beach towels on entry for cleaning! Also more drinks left out late at night to help yourself. I was also given a cake with a candle and a gift for my 40th birthday. Truly a world class leading beautiful hotel run by a lovely couple who work hard. Such professionalism is stunning.

We stayed at this fabulous boutique hotel for 7 nights in October, and it was the most amazing experience we have ever had. What makes this hotel so special and unique is the incredible hospitality and warmth we received from the owners Nikos, Angela and Paris. Their attention to detail is outstanding. We stayed in the lovely ground floor Orhan suite, and it was so luxurious and fully appointed with every comfort you could think of, and the king size bed, linens and pillows were so comfortable. Nikos is an exceptional host. Each day he would sit down with us and curate an individualized itinerary on sights to see, excursions, dinner reservations, and so much more. Angela created a delicious and fabulous 4 course breakfast each morning, and we were served by Giulia who was so charming and friendly. We also loved listening to Paris play the piano while we had a drink in the lovely courtyard each evening. Thank you, Nikos, Angela and Paris for making our trip to Rhodes a truly exceptional and unforgettable experience.

We have had the good fortune to stay at many excellent hotels over the years, but Kokkini Porta Rosa is easily the most special place we've had the privilege of experiencing. There are no lengths that expert hoteliers Nikos and Angela will not go to for their guests. They have created an app that has lists of anything you would need - from activities (complete with pictures, a description and a link to get you there through google maps), to restaurants, to where to find laundry, to how to text their favorite taxi driver. Each guest receives an iPad upon which, each day, you can click on your room to find a suggested itinerary for places that you may want to visit. These aren't cookie-cutter recommendations. Far from it. Nikos sits down to discuss what's available and what you're interested in, and then he custom-tailors the recommendations, which also are noted on a paper map he provides each day. Each room comes with a car for one day of your stay to make sure you can experience the island outside of the old city. Breakfast each morning is served in multiple courses - all prepared fresh, and over the course of our stay the staff learned our orders and subtly adapted the selections of fresh jams and breads to our preferences. Each evening, we came back to a full tray of spirits and other beverages with a sign encouraging guests to have a drink in the lovely courtyard before retiring for the night. And to top it off, Nikos and Angela had a cake for our daughters to celebrate their birthday. The hotel itself is beautiful and perfectly situated inside the walls of the old town. Each room is flawlessly decorated yet infinitely welcoming - a rare combination, indeed. The staff, too, are a delight. Giulia, who served us breakfast each morning, was so kind and so warm. Like Nikos, Angela, and their son Paris (who is wonderful on the piano as you sit for a drink before dinner), Giulia made us feel so welcome - as if we were part of this family. We have always dreamed of someday owning an inn somewhere beautiful and can only hope if that happens, we could do it half as graciously as Nikos and Angela.

Saying that me and my husband were impressed would be an understatement! The breakfast was decadent and with different starter and dessert every morning, we have been spoiled with a very detailed personalized itinerary made every day and cherry on top our suite came with a free standing bathtub that was perfect to relax after a long day of exploring. Thank you Angela, Paris and Nikos for the unforgettable experience!

Excellent environment and great position to discover the town. We loved the details in the decor and the care Nikos and Angela had during our stay. Paris was playing live piano at night, so we had a romantic a**osphere to enjoy our drinks. Definitively coming back!

The first time we've ever revisited a hotel because we've spent the last four years dreaming of going back. Angie's breakfast was still amazing and Nikos attention to detail and advice second to none. Thank you for another wonderful break at our favourite hotel ❤️
