  "Hotel to stay in Rhodos Town" Reviewed by Max of "Milwaukee, WI" on Oct 16, 2011

  Great family own hotel, 150 yards from the beach-sea, 15 ins walk to the Old Town, 15 mins - to the bus stop to Lindos. Owners are great people, take a good care of their guests. Bus ride from the airport - 25-30 mins toward city center, and hotel is 50 yards from the bus stop.

  "Greece and on the beach--does it get any better?" Reviewed by Jeff G of "Evanston, IL" on Oct 7, 2011

  We called ahead (from Chicago) to let them know about our late arrival, and they made sure everything was ready for us. The location was fabulous--right next to a big sandy beach. And the building wasn't some big resort, but a small, typical Greek house, white stuccoed with blue window frames. Actually not small at all, but quite spacious, with the promised view of the sea and the Flyers Bar next door. Delightful people, nice (all British) neighbors, though very tolerant of Yanks.

  "Best hotel on our honeymoon!" Reviewed by Tommy C of "San Francisco, CA" on Sep 19, 2011

  Ten minutes from the airport, ten minutes to Rodos Old Town, and right on their own private beach. So sweet! The reception manager was so awesome. They offer free drink vouchers to new arrivals, and gave us a couple extra ones since it was our honeymoon. We read that tips are included in the price, but are also highly appreciated in tough economic times. Where we live in San Francisco, when you tip the bartender, you end up getting free drinks here and there. Same here at Ixian Grand. Being genuinely polite helps too. Our room was a superior suite, but not the top shelf ones with private pools. Once we saw how small the private pools were, we knew we saved some unneeded expenses. Plus you are right on the beach with two large pools... one fresh water, one sea water. Nice! Their breakfast was a huge buffet that could rival the ones in Vegas... and of course came with the room, so no extra charge unless you wanted to go a la carte, which we didn't need to with such a spread. The one thing that threw me off, was that if you wanted dinner, you have to wear dress pants. I only brought shorts... oh well. That lead to us to adventure out into town, which was another added bonus. The Blue Palm has incredible cocktails and good happy hour deals. Rodos Old Town was prolly the highlight of our whole trip. So much history and medieval architecture, we were drooling every step of the way. The turkish mosque is a must see too. Go to the Socratous Garden for lunch. They have the best Greek style Lasagna ever! And they have Bitburger on tap... a potent German beer that is ultra refreshing on a hot summer day. (It is also the only restaraunt in Old Town that does not have a promoter outside trying to drag you in..it doesn't need it with a garden shaded by palm trees). Back at the hotel w soaked up the beautiful Ixia beach rays and swam in the Aegean for hours on end. We will go back next year for sure. Absolutely loved it!

  "Charming hotel, HUGE, ocean view, best buffet!" Reviewed by Sylvia K of "Germany" on Aug 30, 2011

  Initially I found that booking with hotels.com was much cheaper than the Euro rate offered on the Mitsis Grand Hotel website. When we arrived at the Rhodes airport, the taxi driver told us that the Mitsis is the best hotel in Rhodes. Best to share a cab; 4 people will pay 5 euros each. The public bus is 3 euros and a real problem because it stops at every block on the way to the hotel and doesn't keep a regular schedule. The location is amazing with the beach right in front of the hotel. The hotel staff was nice and friendly, although with the number of guests checking in and out every hour, plus the 12 hrs shifts they work, I can see why other guests thought the staff were not as cordial. By U.S. standards, this is more of a 4* than 5*. The hotel was constructed in 1962, so yes, it isn't as clean and luxurious as a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. I would say it compares to your local Holiday Inn or Marriott. The room was spacious and they split our beds upon request (they usually stick 2 twins together). There was plenty of room to spread out our belongings and we had a beautiful balcony looking out directly to the ocean. The pool was overcrowded with families, so we never spent time there. Also, you must pay to use the gym. The towel policy was a bit bizarre, requiring a 15 euro deposit. When we went to pay for our towel, the cashier said the register would be closed for 1.5 hrs. We walked around and bought beach towels for 4 euros to save time. The breakfast buffet is amazing, delicious and fresh, plus you can get eggs and crepes made-to-order on the spot. The hotel is very safe, they offered storage during the morning of our checkout since we had a midnight ferry to Santorini and it made no sense paying for an additional night. Overall our stay was positive, the location could not get any better, right on the beach and about 20 mins walking east to Old town. If you want to stay at a large chain, with tons of guests, and great location, you will enjoy your sta
