I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience.
On the positive side, the breakfast was generous and tasty – I especially appreciated the variety, although I’d suggest adding avocado to the menu. The coffee was surprisingly good. The reception and kitchen staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
However, there were several aspects that left a negative impression. There are some odd rules – you’re not allowed to take your coffee on the terrace, and you’re only permitted to consume drinks purchased from the hotel bar. If you don’t comply, you may be met with disapproving looks from the staff.
Air conditioning is not included and costs €8 per night. I also paid an extra €40 per night for a room upgrade, and that’s where the issues began. The hotel presents a very different image online compared to reality. Most of the standard rooms are dormitory-style, with tiny bathrooms that include an outdated tub. Only one bathroom photo from the standard double room is shown online – the rest are from superior rooms, which feels misleading.
Cleanliness was not up to expectations. I found hair in the bathroom, visible dust in the room, and while the bed linens and towels were clean, they were noticeably yellowed and worn.
The pool area also needs attention – it clearly requires renovation, and the smaller pool had greenish water, which was not inviting.
Lastly, while the reception and kitchen staff were kind and professional, the bar staff seemed bored and amused themselves by gossiping about guests – something we overheard multiple times, which was quite uncomfortable.
Overall, the hotel has potential, but there is definitely room for improvement in terms of cleanliness, transparency, and customer experience.

The hotel staff in particular were always courteous and helpful. For example, our rental car and various cab rides were organized and ordered by the reception. We also recommend the bar, both during the day by the pool and in the evening after work. The bartender prepares good cocktails and has a wide selection of very good signature cocktails Furthermore, the rooms have a nice view over the pool area and parts of the sea. You'll see lots of kitesurfers. Together with their modern design, they provide a comfortable atmnosphere.

Wow wow wow! We had the best experience at happy days hotel; we booked a last minute holiday to Rhodes, having never visited Greece before and didn't know what to expect we received the best service at this hotel - every member of staff was welcoming and friendly, every facility was clean and well kept, our room was beautiful (which was very kindly upgraded to a pool/sea view) and everything was 10/10!
We will definitely be returning to the happy days hotel in the future and had the best time. Thank you!

Older reviews do not correspond to the current situation. The hotel is very nice, for the price I think even great. Everything is nicely cleaned and tidy, super pool. The staff is nice, I don't understand the complaints in the reviews, we never had a problem, receptionist, barman, manager, cleaning lady, all helpful. The biggest surprise for me was the food, which was delicious and tasty. Some negatives: no wifi in the rooms, shower splashing water all over the bathroom, high air conditioning fee. Overall I recommend this hotel, great value for money.

We come here every year. We love the peace and quiet it provides. The Hotel is so welcoming that we feel like it is our second home. The staff all work so hard to provide a good holiday for everyone. The manager and owners are so welcoming ( despite some reviews I have previously seen ) People obviously don't see what we see which is very warm welcoming people and we can't wait to come back in 2025
