Spent my first holiday in seven years at this hotel in Rhodes, and I am very happy with the choice I made. Booked it through Jet2 on a bed-and-breakfast package; it's a 3*, so I wasn't expecting super-duper-luxurious, and that was fine. It's a great base. The location is on a quietish one-way street with lovely buildings lining it - I caught all the springtime blooms, which was very pretty. It's near a number of local restaurants, so you're spoilt for choice when looking for good lunch and dinner options. It's five to eight minutes' walk down to that beautiful seafront, and it's also at a central point where you can walk to the magnificent harbour and Old Town in about ten minutes. The rooms are basic, but clean. The breakfast buffets are unspectacular, but widely varied and tasty, and will set you up for the day. The pool area is quite nice - the pool itself is pretty decent, and it's a good spot to catch the sun on the loungers. Only downside is that the sides of the hotel are a bit of a wind-trap, so the loungers by the ends of the pool get a fair bit of breeze. Best of all, I had great service. I suffered the misfortune of my mobile phone breaking (which, in this day and age, can cause a ton of problems), and the reception staff were nothing but friendly, helpful, and resourceful in helping me book tours or finding my way around. I plan to go back to Rhodes at some point, to see all the stuff I missed. If I'm still on a budget by that time, I will most certainly choose the Downtown Angela again.
