Hotel Margaret Hotel 2 * (Greece, Rhodes Island): overview, description, rooms and reviews

Rhodes, being the fourth largest Greek island, attracts tourists not only with developed infrastructure, but also with its rich culture. Resort hotels surprise travelers with traditional Greek hospitality and a rather wide variety of services. Picturesque beaches, mild climate, ancient architecture, numerous attractions - all this is attractive for tourists coming from all over the world.

Overview

Despite the fact that the island is not very large in area - its width is from thirty to forty kilometers, nevertheless here there are both places with a highly developed infrastructure, as well as small areas.

In general, in Rhodes you can find hotels for every taste, starting with luxury hotel complexes that are respectable to the highest standards, and small, cheaper options, such as Margaret Hotel 2 *. Yalissos, Ixia, etc. - the settlements located on the west coast of the island are considered relatively poorly studied. People who are tired of crowded beaches and noisy nightlife prefer to come here, as well as those who prefer to combine economy-class rest with sightseeing of local attractions that Greece is so rich in.

Margaret Hotel 2 *: description

The village of Ialyssos, in which this small private hotel is located, is located in the north-west of Rhodes. It's old enough. Even in the fifteenth century BC, this settlement was one of the major Dorian towns of the island. This is evidenced by the remains of the acropolis, preserved to this day, as well as the ruins of temples in honor of Athena and Zeus.

Today Ialyssos is a popular resort town, famous for its culture and rich traditions. From the modern capital of the island - the city of Rhodes - it is only eight kilometers distant. It is here that many small private hotels are located, for example Margaret Studios (Margaret Hotel) 2 *.

The international airport is located six kilometers away. This fact is especially convenient for those tourists who travel with young children. Kids after the flight to the island can not easily transfer the transfer, so the proximity of the hotel to the airport in this case is quite a big advantage.

Another plus of this hotel is its proximity to such attractions as the Rhodes acropolis, the Temple of Apollo, etc., which every traveler who comes to this ancient resort should see.

The area in which Margaret Hotel 2 * is located is quiet and peaceful. There are a lot of greenery around the hotel, there is not that fuss and noise that prevails in the central regions. Tour operators position this hotel as a place where you can spend a quiet beach holiday. Near the hotel, there are many bakeries selling bread rolls, hot bread, pastries, there is a vegetable market within walking distance where you can buy tomatoes, delicious peaches, melons, etc., as well as small shops and souvenir stalls.

Infrastructure

Margaret Hotel (Rhodes) - 2-star, so the list of services that are offered in it, is relatively small. The total area on which the hotel is built is only one thousand square meters. Around the residential building are planted trees, many flowers and shrubs. The hotel is considered to be small according to the current standards. There are only forty-six rooms in it.

The hotel is truly a home environment. The registration desk is always open. At any time of the day or night, administrators are ready to solve the emerging problems. The hotel has its own small parking. Parking is not required in advance. In the lobby of the hotel there is a car rental office. Judging by the reviews of our compatriots, many Russians rented a car to drive themselves on this small island and see local sights. Those who do not have an international standard license can use the services of a tour desk that works next to the registry. In all public areas of the hotel, guests can connect to the wireless Internet for free.

A hundred meters from the entrance to the hotel there is a bus parking. This is the final stop. Here you can buy tickets to the shuttle in any direction on Rhodes, which is very convenient for those who are going to travel the island on their own. For the attention of tourists: a group transfer due to a difficult access to the main building is organized not to the threshold of the hotel. The bus stops in a hundred meters.

Residential fund

A small, budgetary - this is how Russians characterize Margaret Hotel 2 * in their reviews. In Rhodes, there are many such mini-hotels that one family owns. On the one hand, this is a big plus, as the hosts are trying to create in their hotel a truly homely environment.

The only building Margaret Hotel 2 * seven-story. There are forty-six double and triple rooms of standard categories, as well as family apartments. All have a furnished balcony or terrace overlooking the patio or pool. In 2014, the hotel was renovated. The rooms are equipped with quality furniture, there are beds and bedside tables, a dining table with chairs, a kitchen area, a small refrigerator with all accessories.

Standard equipment in the rooms is air conditioning, for which you need to pay 5 euros for a day, a TV with cable television, showing one Russian-language channel, radio.

Bathrooms are combined. They have showers, there is a hairdryer. The necessary hygienic supplies are updated daily. With the same frequency, the staff changes towels. The new bed linen, judging by the reviews, is concealed twice a week.

Cleaning in the rooms are carried out once a day, at convenient for living hours. On the floor there is a ceramic tile.

Check in and check out at the hotel are scheduled for twelve o'clock in the afternoon. According to the current rules, it is strictly forbidden to be populated with domestic animals. There are separate rooms for smokers, as well as adjacent apartments, which can accommodate 5 + 1 guests at the same time.

Food

Margaret Hotel 2 * (Rhodes) offers only a continental breakfast, which will cost six euros per night. In the mornings, a buffet is served in the restaurant, which also works on the pre-menu. However, many of our compatriots prefer to eat in nearby taverns and cafes, and also cook independently, buying food in the supermarket or in the numerous shops that are in every region at every step. The rooms have utensils, plates, cups, spoons, forks, in short, everything you need to eat.

Judging by the reviews, the prices in the nearby taverns are quite democratic, so many of our compatriots went to eat outside the hotel.

The hotel also has a snack bar and a bar, located by the pool, where cocktails and soft drinks are offered.

For children

Margaret Hotel 2 * is positioned as a family. There is a playroom for children, there is a small office in the adult pool. On request, you can get extra beds in the rooms and highchairs for feeding in the restaurant.

Beach

The hotel is on the third line from the beach. The public beach is only five minutes walk from the main building. The hotel from the coastal zone separates the promenade and the road. Underground crossing is not provided, especially since traffic on the road is not overloaded.

Judging by the reviews, the beach is sandy and pebbly, with the entrance to the water hampered by the pebbles. Therefore, our compatriots strongly recommend taking special silicone or rubber shoes, especially for young children.

On the beach with a huge coastline there is a shower and toilet, a cafe. For sunbeds and sun umbrellas you need to pay separately three euros a day.

If you walk two hundred or three hundred meters to the left, you can be on a completely sandy, more equipped beach, where there is a lot of paid entertainment, as well as surfboard rental equipment.

Entertainment

The Margaret Hotel is a 2-star hotel, so its infrastructure is limited in this respect. On its territory there is a fairly clean small swimming pool with free sunbeds and umbrellas around.

Those who wish can book excursions to Simi, Halki, the island, the capital of Rhodes from the hotel guide, from where you can get to the Turkish Marmaris from the port by boat for thirty minutes. The cost of round-trip tickets is twenty euros.

In the village you can rent a boat and go fishing, and in the evening at the coastal cafe you can taste the seafood you have caught yourself. Peace and quiet are the reasons why many choose Margaret Hotel 2 * (Rhodes).

Reviews

Among those of our compatriots, who stopped for this holiday with this option, very few people were dissatisfied. Moreover, against the background of a fairly democratic price for a meager list of entertainment, few people paid attention. Basically, those who chose this particular hotel, traveled extensively around the island and returned to rooms exclusively for spending the night.

As for the service, then taking into account the Margaret Hotel category, Russians rated it for a solid four. As for the food, the opinions are contradictory. Some say that the breakfasts were very tasty and satisfying, but there are those who think that for this price you can have a good dinner at one of the nearby taverns.

The biggest disadvantage of this hotel is our compatriots call the proximity of the airport. This, on the one hand, is a big plus due to a short transfer, but on the other - the noise from landing aircraft often prevents complete relaxation and rest.

The sea, judging by the reviews, is excellent: warm water, mild Mediterranean climate - all this contributes to rest, and the island with its ancient monuments, according to many, must be seen necessarily.

Nevertheless, even with all the mentioned shortcomings, most of our compatriots were satisfied with their stay at this hotel and plan to return here again.
