Ierou Lochou 7, New Town
This 500-year-old former Turkish sultan's house has been turned into a delightful and remarkably inexpensive little hotel in a quiet residential street in the Old Town.

This boutique hotel is in a handsome Old Town building in a hidden corner. The house was built around 1300 AD, and became a hotel in 1980. Its wonderful ambience includes an inner courtyard with a resident tortoise. A selection of very different types of room is available, and most of them have great character. Excellent facilities, too, and the roof garden offers guests breakfast with a view. We were lucky enough to spend a week there once and it was the perfect place to stay in Rhodes Town.
