Porolithos Boutique Hotel in Rhodes City

Porolithos Boutique Hotel operates within a restored 15th-century Knight's house inside the UNESCO-listed Old Town. The owners personally oversaw a two-year renovation that transformed a derelict building into a 5-room property. Photographs documenting this restoration process are displayed on site, showing the preservation of original stone vaults and medieval architecture.

Each of the five rooms retains original arched ceilings and stone walls, with some rooms offering private balconies or direct courtyard access. Rooms include air conditioning, a safe, a mini fridge, a Smart TV, and a large shower. Soundproofing, allergy-free room options, and family rooms that can accommodate cots and baby safety gates are available.

Breakfast is served each morning in the courtyard garden, featuring a rotating menu of fresh fruits, Greek yogurt, local cheeses, eggs, meats, homemade pastries, and fig marmalade. The hotel offers vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options upon request. Coffee, tea, juice, and still water are included, with wine and champagne available through room service.

The host provides printed maps of Rhodes Town and the entire island, along with a curated list of local restaurants, shops, and walking routes. Services include airport pickup and drop-off by golf cart through the Old Town streets, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and complimentary bicycle rental. The hotel can arrange car hire, boat excursions to Symi and Lindos, and private guided tours of the Old Town.

The hotel sits on a quiet pedestrian alley 600 meters from The Street of Knights and a 17-minute walk from Elli Beach. Rhodes International Airport is 13 km away, with public bus service available for a few euros. Street parking is available outside the city walls, and the property offers an electric vehicle charging station.
