When we arrived at 1am the night manager was really rude and not helpful at all. The room was bad we asked for a sea view and yet we got a view of a bush it was dirty, mold all over the bathroom, air conditioning broken. We then complained and got told to wait it out until morning to speak to the manager only to be told she isn’t available and to come back the next day. When we eventually got to see the manager she was great showed us a different room and helped us settle in.
The English receptionist was great helpful felt like he actually wanted to be there. The manager with glasses was great she talked about all your activities gave her recommendations about the places you are going to. And the pool staff even better funny hyperactive loved a chat.
Food was decent I just wouldn’t recommend having dinner there as the selection is limited. God watch out for alcohol measurement.
For some reason the water went off at 11am on the Saturday and never came back on until 2pm and when it did come back on the water was brown.
The view was good too.
Overall was okay but could have been better.
Would recommend the Kristen royal euphoria instead.

Unfortunately, I had a very unpleasant experience during my stay at the Kersten Palace Hotel Rhodos with the receptionist named Mrs. Nena. When I asked for her last name, she refused to give it, saying that hotel staff are not allowed to share their family names.
Her behavior was rude, condescending, and unprofessional. I often felt that she was deliberately trying to confuse or unsettle me. Instead of assisting me in a helpful and respectful manner, she repeatedly responded in a dismissive and disrespectful way.
This kind of attitude is completely unacceptable, especially for someone working at the front desk – the first impression of the hotel. It was truly disappointing, especially since the rest of the stay could have been enjoyable.
I sincerely hope that the management takes this kind of feedback seriously and works on improving the reception service. Courtesy, respect, and helpfulness should be standard – unfortunately, that was not the case here.
A heartfelt thank you also to Mrs. Elena, the manager at the reception. She was very professional and truly tried to solve all the issues. I understand that her job is not easy – especially when she has to work alongside people like Mrs. Nena. We genuinely appreciate her efforts.
Outstanding Service at the Kersten Palace Olympia Restaurant – A Heartfelt Thank You!
I would like to express my deep appreciation and sincere thanks to the entire restaurant team at Kersten Palace. The service was truly outstanding! The whole team was incredibly friendly, helpful, attentive, and always greeted us with a warm smile. Every meal at the restaurant was a wonderful experience – not only in terms of the food but also because of the wonderful people.
I would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Eleni , the restaurant captain– she is the heart and soul of the place! Her presence, care, and leadership make a noticeable difference. Sincere thanks as well to Mrs. Margarita and Mrs. Niki, whose dedication and warmth helped make our stay truly unforgettable they’re both amazing!!!!
This restaurant team is absolutely fantastic – a true example of hospitality and service excellence. They were the complete opposite of our experience at the reception. Their kindness and professionalism made us feel truly welcomed and cared for, despite any other challenges during our stay.
Thank you all – you made our time here truly special!

Me and my partner enjoyed a lovely holiday here at Kresten Palace, we stayed in a room in the main block of the hotel which was very nice, though slight aging did show with cracks in the walls and tiles. The staff were very welcoming on arrival and during our stay, the cleaners kept our room clean and maintained and the dining staff were lovely whenever anything was wrong such as missing cutlery, the animation team provided lots of activites and night time entertainment which we enjoyed. The transport from the hotel was extremely easy with regular buses and help from the hotel staff if needed. The food was nice however did start to feel slightly repetitive at breakfast nearing the end of our stay. Overall it was a great experience and would recommend coming here 👍

What an absolute blast i had coming here!🤩
The reception staff was so kind and helpful, as love holidays managed to mess up my room, which wasn’t the first time it had happened so watch out for that through love holidays. However reception sorted it and got me the room was an additional charge but so worth it!
The breakfast don’t get me wrong wasn’t the best option, we didn’t eat any other meals here as we ate out instead, so i can’t comment on much food, but for the breakfast if you’re not a fussy eater you’d be fine! The cocktail bar at the hotel was really really good! Very more for kids not sure if it was cause we went out of season.. possibly. The supermarket on site was mint! and the lady who works there id genuinely pay the price again to go back and see her! What an amazing woman🤍
Rhodes is so beautiful and this hotel really made the effort to fit in! Loved my stay here and would 100% return… people are so unrealistic about their reviews on hotels… but this one was absolutely unreal👏👏

Enjoyed 5 lovely nights here, can’t fault anything. Pool is lovely, not too crowded or busy like other hotels, bar on the pool decently priced cocktails tasty too. Have to give praise to the red headed lady (did not get her name!!) that I saw mainly work the pool bar she had good wit and was nice to talk to. Happy hour 5 euro cocktails inside the hotel bar was amazing too. Easy access to both ends of Rhodes, old town was just an easy bus and hotel had info on coaches to places like lindos and butterfly valley you can book and get picked up from the hotel itself. Rooms are clean, spacious and nice. Definitely recommend this hotel!
