Ziakis Hotel & Studios - Rhodes

Hotel is perfect! Comfortable, clean, courteous staff. Hotel is pefectely situated on the Faliraki beach (on the Mediterrean Sea) and within walking distance of Night Life on the strip. Loved the breakfast that comes with every room. The pool and sauna are great for relaxing after a night on the town.

GREAT HOTEL! GOOD PRICE AND FRIENDLY STAFF. CAME IN JULY AND MY ROOM WAS MISERABLY HOT. MY AIR CONDITIONING BLEW COOL AT THE VENT ONLY. THE ROOM NEVER COOLED AT ALL. I SPOKE TO THE STAFF 3X AND THEY SENT A MAINTENANCE PERSON TWICE BUT NOTHING WAS EVER FIXED OVER THE DURATION OF MY STAY. ASKED TO SWITCH ROOMS AND THEY SAID NONE WERE AVAILABLE. IT WAS SO HOT THAT SLEEPING WAS IMPOSSIBLE.

The resort was very beautiful. The only issue I ran into was the front desk seemed as if they didn't want to give me a set of new towels and wash cloth. I went to the beach and showered. Decided to go siteseeing and once I returned. I asked for a new set of towels. They said it's too late to come to the room, wait until tomorrow. I told them I would like to shower now and will come to you. He agreed. I walked there and waited about 30 minutes and went back to the front desk and he said, "Oh I am sorry I will let them know to bring to the room. So I walked back to room and about another 30 min later they showed up with only towels and no wash cloth. I just said thank you and settled. Also, during breakfast the locals continue to bump, without saying anything and they also skip you in line and look at you like you're wrong. That made me very upset.

This hotel was on a nice sandy beach, with beautiful water. The hotel was very pleasant, the staff was responsive, but there were charges for everything. The food (breakfast and dinner) was better than most of the hotels we stayed in on the Greek islands.

We needed a place close to the airport since we were leaving at 6AM. Esmerelda was very inexpensive. For what it cost, I was impressed with the hotel. It is located in the heart of Kermasti about 2 km from the airport and has no parking. Kermasti is very crowded and commercial. The room was large, in the back of the hotel so it was reasonably quiet. It was clean with a balcony overlooking the yard of the house next door. The owners/staff were very polite and helpful. During our tours we have paid 3 or 4 times as much for rooms that were far inferior.
