Sofia Pension is a lovely hotel with amazing, very helpful staff. The location is very convenient, situated in the Old City - about a 10-minute walk from any gate. It’s central, yet on a quiet street, and close to some great restaurants and bakeries.
The breakfast is quite basic, but on busy days it’s helpful to have the option to eat at the hotel. There is also a beautiful rooftop area.
We stayed for a week with our 1.5-year-old. We hired a car and left it outside the Old City walls, where there was always free parking available.

This is such a great place to stay when visting Old Town. The beds are very comfortable and the AC works well. We were in room 9 and there were no issues with noise from the parking lot. The breakfast (€10) is a perfect start to the day. It is very easy to navigate through the old town from there. Would recommend Nireas for really good seafood nearby. Very easy to get in and out through the Kolona Gate (Sea Gate). Would love to return and stay here again!

Breakfast was very nice ont the terrace. Rooms were comfortable and clean and staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Sofia was not there during our stay because she was awaiting knee surgery. But Foula, her daughter, and Filippos, Foula's son, filled in seamlessly. They were so helpful and had some great suggestions. Cars are not allowed into Old Town and when we left Foula was unable to get us a golf cart to take us to the taxi meeting point outside the walls. She arranged for a taxi that had a permit to come inside the walls and then she walked with us to the taxi pickup point to make sure we got there on time. Walking around Old Town can be very confusing, even after being there for 5 days. We will stay again and had a great time!!! Thanks so much Foula and Filippos!!!!!!

Perfect Location with Local Charm

This hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the Old Town—close to everything, yet tucked away on a quiet street so you can escape the bustle. The staff were warm and welcoming, making our late check-in effortless. Just around the corner you’ll find a supermarket and laundromat, and you’re only minutes from the famous Marco Polo restaurant. The rooftop terrace is a lovely spot to relax after a day of exploring, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. Don’t miss the local wine bar just a two-minute walk away—it offers excellent tastings of Greek wines and is a must-do experience during your stay.

Sofia and her family have a lovely hotel that is about a 10 minute walk from the ferry and inside the walls of Old Towne. They were very hospitable!
It was a little hard to find the hotel at first but google maps lead us right to it!

The breakfast was amazing but double check that it’s included in what you booked. Otherwise it’s $10/euro per person per day. Well worth it - but just confirm it’s included in your reservation.

No information about the hotel was provided at check in, the internet service was poor, and the a/c was noisy and only worked when we were in the room, which made the room quite hot.

A gem in the old town.

After visiting Rhodes about ten times over the last 39 years (!) we finally discovered this wonderful hotel less than 150 metres from the main shopping area, tavernas and bars, and really wish we had found it years ago.

From the start, communication was superb, with almost instant replies to our questions. Late check in was explained perfectly, though in the end not necessary as the taxi driver let us in, and even carried our bags up to the room! We asked them to arrange a taxi to take us from the airport to the hotel inside the city walls and they arranged that wonderfully. Moses was brilliant (it's worth booking him just for the ride through the narrowest streets ever, packed with shoppers and merchandise!)

The room was clean and very attractive, the bed comfortable and, as everyone mentions, contains a refrigerator, which is a fabulous touch.

Breakfast is well worth the price, and the lady serving us (who also cleaned the rooms) was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble.

In order to provide balance we should, I suppose, mention the only negative - the towels are as scratchy as hell. There, that's it. Nothing else.

From now on, this is the only place in Rhodes Town that we would ever consider staying, thank you so much for everyone for making our holiday one of the best ever.

A wonderful and characterful property in the heart of the mediaeval old town of Rhodes, run by the pleasant and helpful Sofiya. I stayed for a week at the beginning of the season (arriving 28 March) and the only downside of staying that early in the year was that my room was rather cold during the first few days and there was no heating, but that wouldn't be a problem later in the Spring or in the Summer.

Most taxi drivers are nor permitted to enter the narrow lanes of the old town but Sofiya can arrange for a local taxi driver with a permit to collect you from the airport.

Sofia's pension is in the heart of Rhodes Old Town, the perfect location near shopping and unforgettable sightseeing. Sofia is still the owner and continues to treat guests as friends in her home. The inn is a gardener's paradise, with blooming plants and vines, and the rooftop patio has views like no other. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the neighborhood is charming.
For short stays of just a day or two, or longer stays like the one I've recently enjoyed, the quality and enjoyment of Sofia's pension can't be beat.

Fabulous ‘boutique’ accommodation in a quiet area of Old Town, near enough to the tourist ‘stretch’ to be convenient and far enough away from it to be peaceful. Easy walking access to the harbour (5 -10 mins) and beaches of Rhodes Town (20-30 mins). Sophia and her family were the perfect hosts: friendly and attentive without being ‘in-your-face’. The simple ‘Continental’ breakfast had a variety of local foods and provided an enjoyable and for-filling way to start the day. Locally there is an amazing Greek bakery and a must-visit Vegetarian/Vegan restaurant (To Marouli), amongst the standard Tavernas of Rhodes Town. Expect a warm and cordial Greek welcome with polite hospitality. The perfect accommodation for anyone wishing to experience Old Town Rhodes.

A wonderful and relaxing stay. Sophia and her husband were welcoming and friendly. We started each day with the tasty and plentiful breakfast they provided for 5 euro extra. Breakfast was on a beatiful terrace a few steps from our room. Room was quiet, clean and spacious. The only negative i can thik of was the shower was a bit cramped. The pension is on a narrow cobbled street within the old city. The location was a few minutes walk from the centre of the old city and the waterfront but away from the crowds providing an atmosphere where you could imagine youself in the time the old city was new. Near many restaurants and the museums and shops in the old town and the new. I would choose this pension again if i return to rhodes.

We loved staying at pension Sophia. Sophia's husband came and met us from our taxi at about midnight. It's in the heart of the old town with no access for cars or Taxi's. Probably about 10 mins walk from the Taxi drop off point. Enjoyed breakfast on the terrace felt like we were sitting in a garden. Sophia very friendly and made us a good breakfast, boiled egg toast, Greek yoghurt and honey, fruit. The hotel is in the tradtional Greek style which is part of it's charm. When we needed to get the early boat to Symi Sophia kindly made us an early breakfast. The bed was comfy and the aircon worked well. Bathroom could possibly do with updating in the not too distant future. Would we go back? - yes!

We presumed that 'free parking' meant that we could park next to the hotel, but this is not the way it happens! Once you are just outside the Old Town walls, telephone Sophia the owner, or walk 10 minutes to find her - after 2pm. She will then collect your cases and take you and them back to the hotel in her car. There's plenty of free parking around the outside of the Old Wall. And this was no problem at all!

Charming, Convenient, and Inexpensive

Sofia's is centrally located in the Old Town of Rhodes, but it is not the easiest place to find. There are two types of maps of the Old Town: the accurate one and the inaccurate one. Both copies are commonly found throughout the city. The one you want is from the tourism office. It matches the one on the official city \"You Are Here\" posters.
Sofia lived in New York for ten years, so her English is fine. The hotel is wonderfully charming. It is at the intersection of two streets - one is lovely while the other is sketchy/run down. Safety is not a concern (and I traveled with my seven year old daughter. Our room was quiet at all times even though the night life can get active in the Old Town. The A/C and the wifi work well. Unlike many European showers, this one's size is fit for an American. Also, it is much less expensive than many hotels in the area.

She would have been happy to pick us up had we have known!!!

A locked door on the arrival day

I don't really understand why they don't even have a doorbell at the door. When we arrived, we found the door was locked so we knocked it but nobody answered. We didn't have the sim card ready so we couldn't call Sofia. That's why we sat outside hoping our host would come back soon. Luckily, their neighbor was very nice and helped us give a call. It was totally frustrating when we found out was that our host was actually INSIDE!
When it came to the day we checked out, we returned to get our luggage, and the same thing happened AGAIN! This time, I tried to call as I finally got my sim ready. Sofia said her husband was there but no one answered the door. She tried to call him, we knew it because we could hear the ringtone from the door. And god blessed because some guests were coming back with a key so we could finally get our luggage back and get on the plane on time.
I really hope they can get a doorbell and it can help fix a lot of problems.

They drove not only our luggage but all 13 of us including others staying at another hotel to the bus that took us to the airport. We were right in the Old City - excellent location. The first morning of our stay she provided a marvellous serving on the rooftop of coffee, homemade baking and some fruit free of charge - not only for the 8 of us staying there but for the 5 others who weren't! She was wonderful. We couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommend this Pension.

Intimate and cosy hotel

This hotel wraps itself around you like a comfort blanket! The room we had was small but perfectly adequate. Breakfast on the patio outside and a convenient roof garden. Right in the middle of the Old Town so convenient for everything. The owners were very considerate and accommodating. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

NIce Room in a Great Location

The location is great -- you're really in the old city, but not in the touristy area. Two issues: it's _very_ hard to find, and (contrary to the profile), not every room has a patio.

Perfect location in the old town

This is an Awsome place to stay if you want a more local experience. In the middle of Old Town but near to the port and close to a parking spot. It is good to rent a car for exploring the rest of the island. Sophia and Phillipe are helpful and provide lots of local information. They are great fun. It is like staying with a friend. I would recommend it for anyone.

Madam Sophia is teh best host ever :)

Sophia pension was exactly what we expected. We were very pleased with the room, services etc. But the host Madam Sophia was exceptionally kind and helpful. She arranged everything for us, last minute extra bed deman, rental car, transfer to an from the ferry etc. etc.. What a lovely lady she was. And also her husband was very kind too. She speaks very well english so we did not have any communication problem. If we again go to Rodos we definetly choose the SOPHIA PENSION thats for sure :)

A Little Gem

Sophias Pension is a little gem and can be great for afew days in Rhodes old town. Just a 2 minute walk from the main attractions of Old Town sophias is tucked away for a peaceful stay. There is a small supermarket 200 metres away for all your needs. The breakfast is good value at 5 euro and Sophia is very obliging and thoughtful. She arranged for us and our friends from uk to have rooms next door without being asked and you had the feeling that anything you asked for would be no trouble. GREAT VALUE.

A relaxed place to be.

We were made to feel very welcome. Sophia's husband drove us to the ferry port without charge. All in all a pleasant, relaxing experience. Sophia, the owner, was very helpful and suggested where we could visit. The pension was in the old city and away from the hub-bub of the tourist activity, which we really enjoyed. Sophia is a local so we felt happy to be supporting her business. Rhodes is a lovely old city with lots to see.

We have enjoyed our stay with Sofia immensely. Great location in old town, very clean and comfortable. Sofia picked us up from the ferry terminal which was a bonus with our 3 bags each. Plenty of great restaurants nearby also.

Excellent location and host

We were pleased to be able to stay right in the heart of the old town. The rooms were simple but clean and with en-suites. What made this special wash wthe welcome and help from the owner, Sophia. When our son lost his mobile phone Sophia was exceptionally helpful to us in getting this back.

Must Stay

Sofia - lovely lady! It is a little adventure getting there as it is located in Old Town and a little walk down an old cobble stone path but so worth it. The room was clean, we were given a choice of rooms and the breakfast was very relaxing under the grape vines and flowers. Located right in Old Town you are in the middle of a market with street vendors, artisans and Resteraunts and the cruise ship port.

Excellent Hotel right in the heart of the Old Town

Excellent hotel. We had an amazing time at Sophia's. Beautiful rooms and breakfast area. Sophia could not have been more welcoming and helpful. She made the stay very pleasant and enjoyable. The hotel is literally a 1 minute walk from all the shops and resturants, but is still very quiet at night time. 10 minute walk to beautiful beaches. If I ever make it back to Rhodes I will definitely be staying at Sophia's again.

Staying in the old Town is worth it

Don't let the \"pension\" part of Sofia's Pension fool you. This is a nice place that has a great location. The rooms are spacious as are the bathrooms ( not something taken for granted in Greece), and the patio is a lovely place to have breakfast and to chat with fellow travelers.
As for location, there's a laundry, super market, several restaurants and cafes within 2 minutes walking distance. The main tourist drag is another minute further if you want to stock up on souvenirs.

Midt i gamlebyen, men rolige omgivelser. Koselig med frokost under druene i bakgården. Aircondition fungerer utmerket. Supermarket rett ved😁 Anbefales for de som ønsker å være i sentrum med kort vei til handlegater og restauranter.

La struttura è carina, gli spazi esterni curati. La nostra stanza un po' piccola e buia ma con tutto il necessario. La finestra si affacciava direttamente su uno spazio comune e di passaggio quindi zero privacy.
Il personale gentile e disponibile. Ottima la posizione vicino ad una piazzetta con ristoranti buoni e lontani dal caos
