Dionysos Hotel

The Dionysos Hotel is located just off the main road along the seafront. This is a very noisy road and too busy for children to cross by themselves but you do not hear it because there is
some lovely mature gardens in the grounds of the hotel.

First impressions are good, big entrance, very polished reception area, the man on the day of arrival was hard work understanding, it sounded like there were set times for dinner but he was saying there was only two tables left to book on that evening. There are several places to eat, but we stuck to eating in the poolside Greek Restaurant evenings and Breakfast is done upstairs. Plenty of choice at both and good portions.

The room was a good size with all you need, but outdated. We don't like shower curtains for example, I would guess it had not been through the wash before we got the room. Saying that my wife got upset stomach on day 3 (Both ends). When I tried just letting the manageress know, she just argued. She was also arguing with some other people in reception on day 1 and it was unprofessional in my opinion. She only needed to go and see the customers rooms. We also heard other people had been unwell. After that we found a lot of people eat in Rhodes Town, 10 minutes up road in taxi and 9 euros if you walk down to seafront.

I was not happy with the cleaning policy after that. You can hang a card on the door if you want your whole room cleaned but I expected the bed sheets to be pulled up, around the sink cleaned and the toilet tissue bin emptied daily regardless. This was smelling by day 3. We put the card on the door on day 4 and then found soap still stained around sink and marks still stained in the toilet and the top sheet was just layed on top as a butterfly so we had to make the bed ourselves.
I have stayed in 3 star accommodation with better conditions than this. Will not be returning.

The hotel has many rules. No hanging towels or anything on the balcony and nowhere to hang anything elsewhere. No laundry facilities available and the hotel only supplies towels for the bathroom.

An information book for all these rules would be useful. For the luxury restaurant you will need long trousers, hence no one was using this area at 32 degrees in the evening.

Rooms worse than on the pics (not a double bed but to single connected which is a bit problematic for us as we are sleeping with a baby). Shower - not great, but hot water and clean. Very nice breakfast with very friendly service.
