KÓKKINI PORTA ROSSA

We felt so fortunate to discover Kókkini Porta Rossa. This intimate boutique hotel was elegant, quiet and so perfectly welcoming, it made our visit to old town Rhodes as perfect as it could be. Nikos and Angela saw to our every need from breakfast to planning each day of touring the old town and the island as well. We could go on and on about the eclectic and elegant decor, son Paris playing the piano, complementary amenities , creative and seasonal breakfast options and Julia's lovely service, but the bottom line is that this was probably one of our favorite stays ever. It's been weeks and I still think back fondly of it. Treat yourself, you won't be sorry.

We had a wonderful stay ! We came twice and the two suites we had were vast, decorated with personality and attention to detail that makes you feel comfortable and experience what makes Rhodes unique. |Nicos and Angela are perfect hosts, and all the team is lovely and considerate. Breakfast is also quite an experience, savory and authentic. |In a place like Rhodes, with lots of touristy spots, having the curated advice and thoughtful suggestions of our hosts, as well as the app are definitely something that drastically changed our travel. Thanks to their taste and knowledge, we could not have had a better stay and experience of the island and city !

I have never before felt so excited about a place that I needed to write the review before I left the airport so that I didn’t forget to capture any detail of how wonderful it was.||We are well travelled and this is by far the best place we have ever stayed. ||To say that efforts are made to ensure every moment of your stay is phenomenal is an understatement. The hotel itself is a gem - as many have already said. The finer points, the attention to detail, the beautiful decor, the fascinating decor - all appreciated. Cleanliness and facilities exceptional. Everything has been thought of. But it goes beyond that to a warmth of welcome that ensures that by the time you leave you feel you are leaving behind friends. I felt quite emotional when I left. Angela and Nikos provide a personalised experience that compares to nowhere else we have stayed. They worked with us to plan our days to perfectly align with our interests. I will treasure Nikos hand annotated maps forever. Angela is the warmest of hosts, a beautiful cook (breakfast again exceptional) and Paris provides musical ambiance in the morning and evening that completes frankly the perfect atmosphere. We also enjoyed many an interesting chat every day with Julia over breakfast. |Thank you - thank you for your hospitality. We will remember it forever and hope to return!

My partner and I had the most amazing, romantic two days on Rhodes, and staying at Kokkini Porta Rossa made the experience truly unforgettable. This five-star hotel, run by a wonderful family, offers the best of both worlds: the refinement and comfort of a luxury hotel combined with the intimacy, warmth, and personal touch of a small family-run guesthouse.||Nikos and his family, along with the entire hotel team, genuinely embody the Greek concept of filoxenia — a word that captures the spirit of heartfelt hospitality and the deep-rooted Greek tradition of treating guests as dear friends. From the moment we arrived, we felt not just welcomed, but genuinely cared for.||Nikos, the owner, has an impressive knowledge of the medieval city and personally helped us plan a two-day itinerary perfectly tailored to our interests and tastes. Our plans were beautifully organised and easily accessible through a custom web app provided by the hotel, which made exploring the old town effortless and enjoyable.||The breakfast was absolutely delicious — fresh, authentic, and full of local flavours that beautifully reflect Rhodes’ culinary traditions. The hotel also offers an amazing selection of drinks and snacks, which adds to the sense of comfort and indulgence throughout the stay.||The hotel’s motto, “hospitality with care,” shines through in every detail — from the thoughtful amenities to the little surprises left in our room. These small touches create an atmosphere of genuine warmth that turns a stay into a cherished memory.||In every sense, Kokkini Porta Rossa exceeded our expectations. It’s a place where luxury meets soul, where every guest is treated like family, and where the beauty of Rhodes’ medieval city is matched only by the kindness of its hosts.

From the moment we arrived at this beautiful hotel we were given the most incredible experience. From the hibiscus tea while we signed in and given a detailed plan of excursions Nikos had been so kind to put together for us so each day we had a full itinerary of exciting days out in Old Town, Lindos and Symi Island. We were even given a car to travel to out of the way hidden gems! The hotel room we booked was breathtaking, spotlessly clean, well stocked with everything you could need and the highlight being its own private garden with plunge pool..the perfect end to a wonderful day exploring Rhodes, soaking in the pool with a drink from the mini bar in our room. Breakfast was served every day with a new and tasty surprise to enjoy each morning, 4 courses to be exact. My partner even received a gift from Nikos and his wonderful family as it was his birthday while staying at the hotel. Our flight home wasn't until later in the evening so we were given an available room at no extra charge to store our cases and relax in until it was time to go, we were picked up from the hotel in a cart and then dropped off at our taxi to travel to the airport, all of which was arranged by Nikos. We are already planning our next trip and we cannot wait to stay here again! 5 stars isn't a high enough rating for this place! The most stunning, incredible hotel I have ever had the pleasure of staying at.

Exceptional !|A really lovely hotel attached to the medieval walls. There was remarkable attention to detail to ensure that guests have everything that they need. Guidance on what to see and restaurants to visit was first class and much appreciated. A tablet to show directions is even provided. The breakfasts were amazing…Highly recommended !

I have never been treated with the care, love, thoughtfulness as I have during this visit. Not only was the accommodations everything we could ask for with 3 people and rich with culture...the team was simply lovely and real. We had some snafus with things we booked due to weather and Nikos was right there helping us with alternatives. When we didn't know where to go for dinner, he asked questions about our likes and provided wonderful recommendations and called to let them know we were coming. This stay was the last of 12 day journey and the timing was perfect...relaxing, educational, enjoyable, and genuine. Thank you so much for making our trip of a lifetime truly a trip of a lifetime, you will forever be in our hearts.

Nikos, his family and colleagues provide a wonderful Greek experience. Within the Old Town and few a few minutes walk from the wonders of Rhodes Old Town; nearby restaurants, bars, museums and this wonderful hotel make Rhodes town our favourite town on this beautiful Greek island
