Self-catering hotel-hostel less than 5 minutes walk to the beach - 10 min. to the port of Rhodos. Clean rooms, nice & friendy staff, a house cat and a stylish bar with terrace on two levels. Urban, international, cultural.

Nice stay for shared accommodation.
Great for a hostel- I was in a 3 bed room sharing a bathroom with another 3 bed room. Fridge in room as well as shared kitchen. Nice outside terrace and common areas. Good kitchen. Pretty quiet and not too much partying. Bed was actually super comfy. They do a lot to make you feel welcomed - happy hour, free meals occasionally, group outings. Great location and their bar/cafe is pretty cheap with good food Andy big portions

The best hostel ever
The best hostel I’ve stayed at in Greece! The staff are incredible, the common areas make it easy to meet other travellers, there are quiet and comfortable areas to work, and it’s in a perfect location close to the beach and bars/restaurants. I would return to Stay Hostel a million more times!

Overall a nice and clean hotel, though the room is a bit small and ceiling is very low, need to share bathroom with others even if you booked single room

Good location, within walking distance of the marina, old market, downtown shopping and a lot of restaurants. One of the best values for my dollar, having to share a room with only one other person. The beds were comfortable, lots of locker space, and the bathroom was only shared by 4 people. The guys at the front desk are extremely nice, they have a bar open in the morning and at night. I recommend this property enthusiastically.

Part-Time A/C, No Parking, Inflexible Staff
I expected a better stay at Stay, but was disappointed. The information listed was misleading. The hotel advertised Free Parking, but upon arrival found that the hotel does not have a lot but rather I would need to hunt for parking on the street. A/C is also an amenity that I require. It is listed but upon arrival the room was hot and the a/c would not turn on. I found out that it is only available during certain hours of the day. Very inconvenient if you want to be comfortable on your schedule. I paid an extra fee and was able to get it turned on for 24 hours of the day. The hotel information was also a little misleading about the size of the room because of the posted photos of the common space... I expected those were private. I should have read and viewed more carefully and maybe I would have caught on better. The room itself is super small with 2 twin beds. Barely room for 2 people to fit and lacked any amenities such as TV or other features. The common spaced shared with another room included a kitchen area and a bathroom. The shower was small and as a bigger guy, I did have trouble fitting well in the tight space. A deposit is required to get a hair dryer. When I booked the reservation, I used the wrong payment method and wanted to cancel and rebook with the proper payment method. Unfortunately, the hotel was inflexible with doing so, even though I offered to rebook first and have them cancel afterwards. The lobby and bar were nice...

Thanks for spending time to write us a feedback. We appreciated and we apologise for any inconvenience. There s parking around the hostel, in certain hours it might be a bit busy, but, I doesn't take more than 5min to find a spot. Regarding A/C we have timers (from 3pm to 6 pm and again from 11pm till 9am). We never advertise that we have TV in the room, but we have a really big cinema free to use for our guests. About the payment we never got any inquiry of changing type of payment method. It would have not being a problem. Sorry again if we didn't meet your expectations Best wishes, your STAY crew.

I'd go again
This is a very nice hostel and the staff are friendly. I booked an all women'd dorm for 4 nights and it turns out they put 3 and 3 in rooms and then we share kitchen and bathroom. I made good friends with the other girls whom were all mostly travelling solo as well. The only issues we had was that the air condition did not work the first night, which made it impossible to sleep in that heat, the second night we had to ask them to start it, but it was fine the other two nights. One night there was quite a lot of sounds coming from the bar downstairs which made it difficult to sleep as well. Note that I was there for full relaxation and not partying. But that's it. Great breakfast to choose from (I had the Greek yogurt with nuts, honey and a bowl of fresh fruits every morning) It's conveniently located 5-10 mins walk from the beach, the marina, main bus station, and Old Town. Drinks depend on who is making it, and I tried their salad once - which was ok. What needs to be emphasized is the friendly staff who socialized with their guest :)

Awesome STAY
STAY-hostel,apartment,lounge is affordable and very convenient place to stay when you are in Rhodes town. Facilities are basic but good enough especially if most of your time has to be spent travelling around Rhodes islands. All you need is a clean room, comfortable bed, air conditioning & a shower. The staff are very pleasant & helpful. Will never hesitate to stay in STAY again...😊👍

One of the best hostels that I have stayed at
One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. Great staff, really sociable multicultural atmosphere in a modern hostel environment. They really make an effort to get people talking and integrated through things like the themed food nights and happy hour at the bar. I happily extended my stay a number of times. The location is great, 10 minutes walk to both the Old Town and the beaches. And there are so many great restaurants in the neighbourhood that are better value than ones in the Old Town. If you are heading to Rodos you should stay here.

Nice hostel in the center of the new city.
As hostel experiences go, it doesn't get any better. The bed was very comfortable, their souvlaki night was incredible, the other guests were marvelous, the wifi always worked. More than anything else stay Hostel just has the right vibe. I credit the staff. That's what it usually boils down to... I could have extended my stay, but didn't. Only because of unchangeable plane ticket. I don't know if I'll be back to Rhodes but I'd love to stay there again someday.

Stay Hotel: Simple & Convenient (to ferry port)
Stay Hotel was an excellent value. Upon arriving, I had to wait and holler "Hello" twice, but the lady (hotel owner I assume) was in the back cleaning. Check in was a breeze. The room was small, but that's all I needed to go to sleep. For about $28, one can't expect much more: clean room, A/C, and great wifi!

The Conditions there are awful! We hoped for a nice and cheap place to sleep but this was a disaster. The pictures are outdated and the thing needs to be renovated. The welcome drink was bad, the beds and pillows not comfortable, the room was old and too small. There was no real space to put your personal belongings and you had to leave the public hotel area at a certain time. The other guests have been quite nice and the staff too but the policy of this place and the conditions of the building are just too bad. We did an earlier Check-Out and switched locations because we couldn’t enjoy our vacation at this place. As long as you have any kind of standards and want a little bit of privacy I wouldn’t recommend this place at any terms.
