THE BEST Place to Stay in Rhodes Without a Car: Rhodes Town

A trip without easily accessible transportation like a car can get fairly stressful depending on your location. However, on the island of Rhodes, staying in Rhodes Town solves all of those worries and woes!

Rhodes Town is the capital of the island, and with that title, it is the central hub of transportation on the island. It is very easy to navigate not just the city itself, but the neighboring areas and islands, as well, as you have access to buses, taxis, and even ferries!

Being one of the largest cities in the Greek Islands and split between Old Town and New Town, Rhodes Town is an adventure just waiting to happen. Rhodes Town is a hotspot for all sorts of vacationers, and there is no denying that for a group just looking to spend an exciting time together, this city blend of past and present is sure to keep every moment of your trip fresh and fun!

Where to Stay in Rhodes Town

Rhodes Town has a lot to offer you and your party, and I’m sure that everyone is looking for the perfect place to rest their heads after exploring the island.

With that said, here is a short list of hotels and resorts that I believe will just make your trip to Rhodes Town all the more memorable and enjoyable!

✅ Best Hotel: Sperveri Boutique Hotel

If you want a very exciting place to stay, Sperveri Boutique Hotel is arguably the best one in all of Rhodes. It has this very unique, magical atmosphere, which is particularly romantic, private, and intimate. I honestly really love the pool area, with its clean stone walls, beautiful lighting, and comfortable sunbeds. Something you might love as well as how rooms look like, with very large beds, stylish decoration, and modern furniture.

On top of all of that, breakfasts at Sperveri Boutique Hotel are very tasty, and its location is particularly good: only 10 minutes from the marina of Rhodes Town and 15 minutes from its center!

✨ Luxury Choice: Mitsis Grand Hotel Beach Hotel

If you want the best luxury experience that is close to Rhodes Town, the Mitsis Grand Hotel Beach Hotel will be a perfect fit for you!

This accommodation has it all: there is a fitness center, an outdoor swimming pool as well as many, many other facilities for everyone to enjoy: no matter your ideal vacation or who you’re traveling with, I’m sure you and your loved ones will be satisfied with this hotel!

The main reason to love it though is its location: it is situated right next to a private beach, and not too far from the harbor, from which you can book trips and ride the ferry.

💰 Budget Pick: 7Palms

When traveling on a budget to such a coveted and touristic area as Rhodes Town, it can be nearly impossible to find decent, affordable accommodation, but don’t worry, 7Palms is here for you: there is no better place in all of the city when it comes to value for money!

7Palms has a very good location, being situated in a quiet, remote, and residential area, without being too far from the main attraction of the center of the city, which is within walking distance. Because you will most likely have busy, tiring days, 7Palms provides incredibly comfortable beds, and I’m sure you won’t be against very comfortable bedding to recover your strength.

Runner-up Area in Rhodes Without a Car: Faliraki

Similarly to Rhodes Town, this next recommendation is an incredible location for parties looking to enjoy Rhodes without a car. Faliraki is another prime area to spend your vacation without a vehicle rental due to its proximity to other towns and villages as well as what Faliraki itself has to offer!

Whether you’re looking for a more subdued, quaint experience or the wildest, most fun night of your life, there are so many options just within the village of Faliraki.

Faliraki was once viewed as mostly a location for younger partygoers. However, it has fully developed into a central hub for any age that seeks to take their trip to new, exciting heights. As the sun sets, the true air of excitement begins to set in, with tourists and locals alike flocking to the narrow streets of Faliraki.

There’s a reason why Faliraki has streets named Club Street and Bar Street because it is sure to be your new favorite late-night hangout spot in this amazing location. Full of clubs, restaurants, cafes, and even karaoke bars, it is a location like no other on the island of Rhodes. But, if you’re looking to explore what else Rhodes has to provide your party, you can simply take the village’s transportation offerings to take you to those other stunning areas on the island!

Where to Stay in Faliraki

After a long day and night in Faliraki, the best thing to come back to is a comfortable and restful resort or hotel.

I’m sure your party just wants to be able to unwind and spend some quality time in an isolated space, so here are my recommendations for great accommodations in the Faliraki area!

✅ Best Hotel: La Marquise Luxury Resort Complex

Set within a large area of 120,000 square meters, you’ll enjoy a spacious, luxurious stay at the La Marquise Luxury Resort Complex. Surrounded by elegant scenery, decorations, and furnishings, one incredible upside to staying at this resort is that it allocates 10 special rooms specifically for groups with certain mobility needs. These rooms provide great accessibility to all hotel services, so even those with mobility issues can celebrate and enjoy the trip!

If you choose to stay for one day, or even your whole trip, your party has access to round-the-clock room service. You also have an extensive selection of other food options found within La Marquise. When you’re ready to step out and explore the expansive resort, you have access to 6 fresh-water pools, an indoor pool, and the best part, 25 (yes, 25!) private pools.

✨ Luxury Choice: Mitsis Alila Resort & Spa

If you’re looking for a resort to just escape that’s full of luxury, Mitsis Alila Resort & Spa is the choice for you. Located on a private beach, few things are more luxurious than taking a dip and swimming in your own little bubble. If open-water swimming isn’t for you, then this resort also has indoor and outdoor pools!

The sleek white furnishings and marble floors are enough to make you feel as though you stepped into a mansion, with fully air-conditioned rooms and 24/7 access to room service. Most of the amenities and services are included with your stay, but you also have the option to spend a little more on fine champagnes.

💰 Budget Pick: Atma Beach Rooms & Suites

Atma Beach Rooms & Suites is an incredible, affordable choice, as it is located right on the beachfront, and will make you experience a very authentic beach stay in Rhodes. With its tasteful decoration, its beautiful swimming pool, and its fantastic location (right next to the beach but not too far from the party street, restaurants, and from shops), Atma Beach Rooms & Suites is a very solid pick for a stay in Rhodes.

In case you were afraid of getting repeatedly stung by mosquitoes during your next trip to the island, Atma Beach Rooms & Suites has plenty of mosquito nets, all around the hotel, and I can only applaud them for that considering how much mosquitoes can ruin your nights and trip as a whole.

Can you get around Rhodes without a car?

Simply put: Yes, you can get around Rhodes without a car!

Though it is one of the larger islands in Greece, you have great accessibility to every corner of Rhodes regardless of where you stay, even without a car of your own. You won’t have to worry about being stuck in just your destination of choice as you can easily find transportation to explore the rest of the island.

Here’s a fun tip as well: you can even make your short trips to other areas an adventure on their own! Take in the sights, and enjoy the local scenery, there is so much to relish even in between your activities. This is one of the many things that make me think Rhodes is such an incredible place to visit!

Final Thoughts

Traveling with a car is obviously of great convenience. However, if you’re looking to save a bit more or spend that cash elsewhere, transportation is of utmost importance when considering where to lodge for your vacation, and in Rhodes, you have a good number of options that address those concerns!

As you’ve seen, Rhodes Town is easily the best location to stay at if you’re intending on vacationing without your own vehicle. Being the capital of Rhodes, there is no lack of access to public or even more private transportation, and if you’re looking to just spend your trip in one area, there’s so much to do in Rhodes Town that you might not even be able to do them all!
