Sofia Pension

Sofia Pension in Rhodes is one of those special, family-run guesthouses that captures the charm of the Old Town. It’s set in a traditional stone building with a cozy courtyard and lots of character. Guests consistently praise the warm welcome from Sofia, who is known for treating visitors like family and sharing her best local tips. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of the medieval town yet still peaceful enough for a good night’s rest. Many travelers highlight the homemade touches, such as breakfast in the courtyard and the genuine hospitality that makes their stay memorable. For travelers looking for an authentic, budget-friendly place to stay in Rhodes Old Town, Sofia Pension is a lovely option that blends history, comfort, and true Greek hospitality.

Couple holiday trip this summer. The hotel is located slightly away from the center and therefore excellent if you want to move around the center. Breakfast is served at the table every morning and is good. Negative notes that I found during my visit, a lot of noise in the room on the ground floor (caused by people passing by in the alleys) Very very dirty room. We found 2 LARGE cockroaches in the room that I had to remove myself. This is absolutely not acceptable.

Central location in the Old Town. Quiet, charming and clean. Super staff, ready to help with anything and very knowledgeable. Loved the breakfast ! Truly enjoyed my long stay.

Excellent pension near to everything in the heart of Rhodes. Very friendly host with very good breakfast every morning. We really enjoyed the stay for a whole week.

This is a wonderfully homely hotel in an excellent location. The owner Sofia goes above and beyond to ensure all her guests are happy and feel like they are special. Her rooms are quaint but very clean with exceptionally comfortable beds. We were in room 4 which had a spacious en suite shower room and looked out onto a pretty terrace where breakfast was served. Sofia makes her own jams, marmalades and little Greek sweet cakes/breads. Breakfast comes with toast, Greek yoghurt, fresh fruit, boiled eggs, delicious feta cheese, honey, her homemade selections, tea, coffee, orange juice etc. Nothing is too much trouble. Room cleaning is daily with fresh towels and linen. Sofia and her daughter kindly printed documents we needed and arranged an electric cart free of charge to get as to the hotel when we arrived and again upon check out so that we didn't have to trawl our suitcases across the cobbled streets of the old town. Regular taxis and airport transfers are not allowed within the walls of the old town so they drop off and collect you at one of the many "gates". A magnificent stay at a comfortable, very reasonably priced hotel where you are treated with great attention and met with warm, genuine smiles each time you see Sofia, her daughter or staff. We plan to return in Spring 2024! Recommend you book direct on her website as she offers best price and you pay at the end of your stay.

I really enjoyed the family atmosphere at Sofia’s pension. The amazing Sofia would climb a flight of stairs to the rooftop terrace with a tray of home made goodies for breakfast each morning. It was a delightful atmosphere and small enough that the various guests felt quite comfortable talking to each other over breakfast. The location was brilliant, right near the main road, but far enough away to be really quiet. This meant easy access to a huge range of restaurants and shops. Most cars are not allowed into the Old town because of the narrow streets, but Sofia arranged for one of the few people who had a permit to get inside to collect me from the airport and deliver me to her door. The pension is her old family home and she treats each of her guests as family, but is not intrusive.

What a find!!|A quiet oasis in the middle of bustling Rhodes old town.|Very clean and make sure you enjoy the roof top terrace or the covered lower terrace.|Sophia is incredibly helpful with local information and really tries to make sure you have the best stay.|She very kindly let us have the room until later in the afternoon when our taxi was due to collect us.||A full Greek breakfast set us up for the day.||If you can, ask Sophia to book Moses for your airport transfer as he will deliver you door to door as most taxis can’t drive into the old town but Moses can.||I highly recommend Sophia’s pension.

Just the most wonderful little place to stay in Rhodes Old Town. Sofia made our short stay so absolutely perfect. Our room was cosy and clean and such a wonderful breakfast. We couldn't have chosen a better place. Sofia cannot do enough to ensure you have a lovely stay. We will be back!
