Blue Sky Hotel

The hotel’s general areas pool, restaurant, reception etc have all recently been refurbished and offer a very modern trendy space. The breakfast was great, freshly made omelette was a favourite. The staff across the hotel were very friendly and helpful, in particular Mikael at reception, nothing was too much. Cocktail of the day was a treat, enjoyed best on the terrace watching the sunset! The spa in the hotel had some great offers while we were staying and wenwere each provided with a 15min free treatment tonuse during our stay. I had a 90mins treatment as did my friend and We both agreed it was one of the best ever massages we had eve had. highly recommend! Our room was a standard double with sea view. Slightly dated but provided everything that was needed. The hairdryer in the bathroom was not very good so suggest bringing own if your hair takes long to dry! I understand The hotel have upgraded their deluxe rooms so perhaps the standard will follow. The hotel is located directly opposite the end of the main Bar and nightclub area for tourists, we did not find it noisy but some light sleepers might. The location is excellent for easy walk into Rhodes old town, marina and is directly opposite the beach. There are lots of lovely restaurants nearby and on the walk towards the town centre. Would definitely recommend Blue Sky for couples and small groups of friends.

Pros: Virtually everything. We regularly take breaks throughout the year and most often stay at similar hotels... and The Blue Sky is one of the best value we have stayed in. The staff, the food, the location... everything was just perfect. The staff were warm and friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Special mention must be made of Dani in the bar who after just one meeting remembers your name and greets you as a long lost friend, and Michaíl on reception who's warm welcome on our arrival late at night set the tone for the rest of our holiday. Then there was the food. We stayed half board as a back up, expecting to go out for most of our meals in the evening, but the quality was as good as any in an establishment this level (far better than most others we have been to) and we chose the eat there far more often than we intended. We will ceratinly be going back. Cons: The carpet in the corridors is quite tired and could do with replacing.

A very good location within easy walking distance to the main Town and the Old Town of Rhodes. Great local buses to visit other parts of the Island. Staff all friendly and helpful apart from the woman on the breakfast counter as she had a serious attitude problem. We were a group o 21 people and the Restaurant staff gave us our own seating area for the evening meal which was really great, and gave us our own area in Reception for us to be together. The rooms were spotless and spacious but not one single drawer to put anything away in. No wardrobe either just racks for hanging clothes. The shop at the front of the Hotel was great and prices were excellent especially for water etc. Overall a good Hotel with exceptional staff.

Should have guessed what lay ahead when checking in, we arrived around 11pm local time, after the formalities the gentleman informed us that the aircon in the room wasn't very good "but it is free"! it was like an asthmatic budgie, the room (523) was very tired and dated with only 1 power socket, 2 if you unplugged the TV and no tea/coffee making facilities ( I'll come back to this) we were on the 5th floor with a sea view which would have been very nice if between the Hotel and the beach there had not been a very busy main road and round about, traffic started about 5am and continued until 2 to 3 am the next day, which was just in time for the nearby night clubs to empty out, and just to make sure you got no sleep some locals have take to playing music from the car through a PA system, when added together not one decent nights sleep out of the 10, tried to have a nap when returning to the room about 4pm only for 2 maintenance men to start hammering in the adjacent room replacing a door they had been working on for 2 days!...2 men replaced 2 doors and all my windows in 2 days in my house! We did complain to the Jet2 rep about the noise and lack of tea/coffee facilities and apparently we should have expected the noise as it is called the Blue Sky CITY hotel! but she did say she would sort out the tea/coffee, 2 days later we got a kettle....no cups or tea and coffee 2 days in I reported a loose toilet seat which was still loose when we left, I celebrated my 60th birthday on the 3rd day which the Hotel kindly left a note in Greek the following day, apparently the note was not meant for the room it should have been an internal memo to send a bottle of wine to the room as a birthday gift a nice Idea but I eventually received the wine 3 days after the event. We were on Bed and Breakfast basis, again poor service breakfast started at 07.30 by 07.40 items from the buffet had run out, Bacon, orange juice, milk even saucers. The pool area is woefully inadequate with sun loungers for about 30% of guests On check out we had a 8pm pick up and although we could not extend the room we were told a room was available to book were we could shower and change, so having booked the "room" for 6pm the wife had put everything we would need in one bag only to find the room was in fact 2 separate showers in the basement toilets!, which were so hot you needed another shower, all in all the worst holiday we have had in twenty years, glad to come home

We enjoyed staying at the Blue Sky. The staff were friendly, the room comfortable and the food good. We stayed in a room at the front and it was noisy at times but not enough to disturb us. The pool is in shade in the morning but that was perfect for a red-head!

This hotel is clean and comfortable. Staff could be seen everyday cleaning different areas of the hotel. The bedding and towels were changed daily and the breakfast choices were varied. Staff were happy to help and very polite. The luxury rooms were really nice and included many extras such as tea/coffee making facilities, slippers + bathrobes, flat screen tv, free in room safe. Standard rooms are a contrast but perfectly clean and acceptable. The location is great for the new and old town - both within 15 mins walking distance and being a beach front hotel the sea is literally just across the road.

We have been to this hotel before and as last time we were not disappointed. The breakfast was good with lots to choose from although a little busy at times. The rooms were comfortable and very modern. The sea view was excellent, the staff were brilliant and could not do enough for us. I had lost something and it was found, returned without any problems, excellent service! The location is not in the old town but a 15 minute stroll and you were in the old town or the harbour areas. There are loads of places to eat alfresco around the hotel and we had a different place each evening (14nights). Entertainment at the hotel was good but as it was early in the season not all up to the full programme. The pool is good, and the sunbeds are spaced well but we preferred going down to the pebbly beach, literally across the road. If you are a bit younger than us, there is a lively night club scene nearby, we ended the night at the local tavernas. A very enjoyable time and a great hotel, would consider visiting again. Robert

Hotel is very busy consider only in May. Reception staffs very helpful because is a busy hotel quite difficult will give you any favour, e.g. request late check out, free upgrade, but it's fair enough Restaurant staff very hard working and friendly too. Housekeeper do a very good job Tip: Must sea view room, other rooms will face petrol station or other apartment

Good hotel in excellent position for Beach,,local bus bars,m restaurants and within walking distance of Old Town and harbour. The décor is very nice but the pool area needs some attention. The deluxe rooms are very modern with no drawers or bedside tables only open shelving and open clothes rail for dresses trousers etc. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Great location, nice clean hotel maid service everyday, breakfast was nice but very repetitive ,only downside was pool area very small for the size of the hotel hardly any sunbeds so went to the beach every day dont use the beach across the road unless you like wind! We went to elli beach across the other side of the town only a 15 min walk nice quiet beach and not crowded at all
