Kresten Palace Hotel

We have booked the double swim up room but, unfortunately, they gave us the one that didn’t have any direct sunshine on the balcony or the swimming pool. We spoke to the reception about this on the second day and they changed our room straight away and made the arrangement for the next morning. I was happy with the outcome as the new room was exactly what I needed for this holiday, even though we missed 3 whole days of enjoying the private swimming pool. The hotel was super nice, big, nice and clean. It has some patches that need fixing but nothing too bad. Sometimes there’s a weird smell by the main pool but I’m guessing nothing can be done about it. As we went in April, the hotel wasn’t too crowded which was nice as well. The only downside of the hotel is the dinner, personally I don’t think there’s enough diversity but you can still have a nice meal and everyday they do different dishes and desserts. The staff were amazing, I will always remember Nikki who made us feel super welcome and definitely made this holiday top 10! There’s also the hotel animator who was super friendly and the activities were nice. I would recommend the room, the hotel and the location. If you rent a car you’re 20 minutes away from Rhodes old town and 45 minutes from Lindos which was the best place we’ve been to.

For us, it was great value for money. It is a very affordable place to stay and it was comfortable, clean with great breakfast. We had sea and pool view so it was great. Parking is a little limited but we had no problem. Pool is very nice. Snack food by the pool is great. Pasta bolognese, burgers etc People who work here are nice, great customer service. It is about 15’ from old town by car. Having a car is recommended however there is a bus stop close to the property.

We stayed here for two weeks. The room was good, with a great location—both the Old Town and Faliraki were easily accessible. The food and drinks were also very good. There were great programs in the bar in the evenings, something different every night. During the day, they preferred outdoor activities. We would like to thank all the staff for making our holiday so special. We hope to see you again❤️

We really loved our stay, room was lovely, all food great, warm and friendly atmosphere. I've given location 4 stars because the beaches you can easily walk to are rocky and challenging if the waters are choppy. The pool area is brilliant but you do need to be OK with cold water - we did go in April though! Easy to hire a car or get a taxi, there were buses too. Close to rhodes and falaraki. Our favourite day trip was Lindos (hire car).

The rooms feel like a museum rather than a hotel room — extremely old, poorly maintained, and with a strong smell of damp and mold. Cleanliness is a serious issue throughout the hotel. Nothing seems to be properly cleaned and many areas are simply dirty. Breakfast is very poor, with limited variety and low quality. The pools are also neglected and do not look hygienic at all. This was my first trip to Greece and unfortunately it turned into a huge disappointment because of this hotel. I would absolutely not recommend staying here.
