At Sofia Pension, travellers highlight the central Old Town setting and quiet backstreet feel, very clean and comfortable rooms, a charming rooftop terrace, and good‑value breakfast; occasional downsides include tricky access within the walls and inconsistent Wi‑Fi.
The family team earns consistent praise for friendly, hands‑on help, from smooth late check‑ins to arranging permitted taxis inside the walls and offering thoughtful local tips. Many note effective air conditioning and useful in‑room fridges, while a few found layouts small or dark, with occasional reports of thin walls or noisy units. Breakfast is available as an optional paid add‑on. Overall, a characterful base inside the medieval walls.

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.

This place is a gem! Location is quiet, yet in the center of old town. The place itself is beautiful and peaceful - full of flowers and plants and the rooftop terrace has amazing views over old town. And Mrs. Sofia herself and her helper is so kind and helpful in every way. Everything was well organized. We felt so wellcome and enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

The owner was a lovely and very helpful lady. We loved breakfast on the terrace and most days returned from outings and sat and read there. The accommodation was very clean and quaint. Some of the holiday makers return there because they loved it so much. If you want to stop in the old town I would recommend staying here.

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:)

Was in a fabulous location right in the old town. Owner organised us a taxi from the airport (would def recommend that). 15 mins walk to the ferry port. Air conditioning worked well and you can sit out on the veranda for your morning coffee. So many good bars and restaurants in the old town. Recommend Zebrano up by the castle.

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.

This hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the Old Town—close to everything, yet tucked away on a quiet street so you can escape the bustle. The staff were warm and welcoming, making our late check-in effortless. Just around the corner you’ll find a supermarket and laundromat, and you’re only minutes from the famous Marco Polo restaurant. The rooftop terrace is a lovely spot to relax after a day of exploring, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. Don’t miss the local wine bar just a two-minute walk away—it offers excellent tastings of Greek wines and is a must-do experience during your stay.

Breakfast was very nice ont the terrace. Rooms were comfortable and clean and staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Sofia was not there during our stay because she was awaiting knee surgery. But Foula, her daughter, and Filippos, Foula's son, filled in seamlessly. They were so helpful and had some great suggestions. Cars are not allowed into Old Town and when we left Foula was unable to get us a golf cart to take us to the taxi meeting point outside the walls. She arranged for a taxi that had a permit to come inside the walls and then she walked with us to the taxi pickup point to make sure we got there on time. Walking around Old Town can be very confusing, even after being there for 5 days. We will stay again and had a great time!!! Thanks so much Foula and Filippos!!!!!!

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.

La finestra si affacciava direttamente su uno spazio comune e di passaggio quindi zero privacy. Il personale gentile e disponibile. Ottima la posizione vicino ad una piazzetta con ristoranti buoni e lontani dal caos

This is such a great place to stay when visting Old Town. The beds are very comfortable and the AC works well. We were in room 9 and there were no issues with noise from the parking lot. The breakfast (€10) is a perfect start to the day. It is very easy to navigate through the old town from there. Would recommend Nireas for really good seafood nearby. Very easy to get in and out through the Kolona Gate (Sea Gate). Would love to return and stay here again!

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.

Sofia and her family have a lovely hotel that is about a 10 minute walk from the ferry and inside the walls of Old Towne. They were very hospitable! It was a little hard to find the hotel at first but google maps lead us right to it! The breakfast was amazing but double check that it’s included in what you booked. Otherwise it’s $10/euro per person per day. Well worth it - but just confirm it’s included in your reservation.

Was in a fabulous location right in the old town. Owner organised us a taxi from the airport (would def recommend that). 15 mins walk to the ferry port. Air conditioning worked well and you can sit out on the veranda for your morning coffee. So many good bars and restaurants in the old town. Recommend Zebrano up by the castle.

This hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the Old Town—close to everything, yet tucked away on a quiet street so you can escape the bustle. The staff were warm and welcoming, making our late check-in effortless. Just around the corner you’ll find a supermarket and laundromat, and you’re only minutes from the famous Marco Polo restaurant. The rooftop terrace is a lovely spot to relax after a day of exploring, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. Don’t miss the local wine bar just a two-minute walk away—it offers excellent tastings of Greek wines and is a must-do experience during your stay.

Location
Set within Rhodes Old Town near shops, restaurants, landmarks and the ferry, yet on quieter backstreets away from nightlife noise. Cars generally cannot enter the walls so expect a short walk with luggage; some found the property hard to locate.

Sofia is a wonderful hostess and we enjoyed our breakfast on the terrace each morning. Sofia's Pension gives an authentic Old Town experience and is located minutes from the taxi stand, shopping and restaurants. You do have to walk with your luggage to get to there.

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.

Sofia and her family have a lovely hotel that is about a 10 minute walk from the ferry and inside the walls of Old Towne. They were very hospitable! It was a little hard to find the hotel at first but google maps lead us right to it! The breakfast was amazing but double check that it’s included in what you booked. Otherwise it’s $10/euro per person per day. Well worth it - but just confirm it’s included in your reservation.

This is such a great place to stay when visting Old Town. The beds are very comfortable and the AC works well. We were in room 9 and there were no issues with noise from the parking lot. The breakfast (€10) is a perfect start to the day. It is very easy to navigate through the old town from there. Would recommend Nireas for really good seafood nearby. Very easy to get in and out through the Kolona Gate (Sea Gate). Would love to return and stay here again!

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:)

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.

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.

Breakfast was very nice ont the terrace. Rooms were comfortable and clean and staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Sofia was not there during our stay because she was awaiting knee surgery. But Foula, her daughter, and Filippos, Foula's son, filled in seamlessly. They were so helpful and had some great suggestions. Cars are not allowed into Old Town and when we left Foula was unable to get us a golf cart to take us to the taxi meeting point outside the walls. She arranged for a taxi that had a permit to come inside the walls and then she walked with us to the taxi pickup point to make sure we got there on time. Walking around Old Town can be very confusing, even after being there for 5 days. We will stay again and had a great time!!! Thanks so much Foula and Filippos!!!!!!

The owner was a lovely and very helpful lady. We loved breakfast on the terrace and most days returned from outings and sat and read there. The accommodation was very clean and quaint. Some of the holiday makers return there because they loved it so much. If you want to stop in the old town I would recommend staying here.

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.
