Excellent little hotel in the middle of old town
This is an excellent little hotel in the middle of the old town, very convenient for everything, and in a quiet narrow street not visited by many tourists. The room was very nice, with a comfortable bed and the usual facilities. The owner was friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay!!!!
We really enjoyed our time at Sofia Pension. Fantastic location, without all the noises of being near so many shops and restaurants. A grocery store is right around the corner and the rooms have great fridge/freezer! Clean rooms, AC, great talks and information from the owner/manager. Would definitely stay here again:)

Beautiful place just close enough to the center to be quickly accessible but in a quiet backstreet. Only negative is that the walls are very thin and you can hear everything happening in adjacent rooms.

Excellent location in the old town. The room did not have any windows at the eye level, and was quite dark, with little storage space. No information about the hotel was provided at check in, the internet service was poor, and the a/c was noisy and only worked when we were in the room, which made the room quite hot. Otherwise a good quiet hotel within walking distance to the major attractions.

The location of this hotel is amazing!! It's right in the centre of the beautiful medieval city of Rhodes. There are many restaurants, cafes, and bars nearby, but this hotel is just far enough away that you're not disturbed by any noise. The property is pretty and quaint. The people who run it are lovely, friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this little family run hotel.

A gem in the old town.
After visiting Rhodes about ten times over the last 39 years (!) we finally discovered this wonderful hotel less than 150 metres from the main shopping area, tavernas and bars, and really wish we had found it years ago. From the start, communication was superb, with almost instant replies to our questions. Late check in was explained perfectly, though in the end not necessary as the taxi driver let us in, and even carried our bags up to the room! We asked them to arrange a taxi to take us from the airport to the hotel inside the city walls and they arranged that wonderfully. Moses was brilliant (it's worth booking him just for the ride through the narrowest streets ever, packed with shoppers and merchandise!) The room was clean and very attractive, the bed comfortable and, as everyone mentions, contains a refrigerator, which is a fabulous touch. Breakfast is well worth the price, and the lady serving us (who also cleaned the rooms) was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble. In order to provide balance we should, I suppose, mention the only negative - the towels are as scratchy as hell. There, that's it. Nothing else. From now on, this is the only place in Rhodes Town that we would ever consider staying, thank you so much for everyone for making our holiday one of the best ever.

A wonderful and characterful property in the heart of the mediaeval old town of Rhodes, run by the pleasant and helpful Sofiya. I stayed for a week at the beginning of the season (arriving 28 March) and the only downside of staying that early in the year was that my room was rather cold during the first few days and there was no heating, but that wouldn't be a problem later in the Spring or in the Summer. Most taxi drivers are nor permitted to enter the narrow lanes of the old town but Sofiya can arrange for a local taxi driver with a permit to collect you from the airport.

A lovely small Pension
A lovely pension in the old city of Rhodes. Our room was very clean, light and was more than adequate for our needs. It even came with a fridge which was a bonus. We chose to have breakfast and were very happy we did so as we got to try Sofia's lovely homemade comquat jam. Sightseeing was very easy as the pension is in easy walking distance of most attractions.

Sofia's pension is in the heart of Rhodes Old Town, the perfect location near shopping and unforgettable sightseeing. Sofia is still the owner and continues to treat guests as friends in her home. The inn is a gardener's paradise, with blooming plants and vines, and the rooftop patio has views like no other. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the neighborhood is charming. For short stays of just a day or two, or longer stays like the one I've recently enjoyed, the quality and enjoyment of Sofia's pension can't be beat.
