Beautiful property. Lovely swimming pool. Friendly and helpful staff. Quick check-in and check-out. Delicious breakfast and dinner buffet. Lunch by the pool was delicious too. Good cocktails at reception bar and pool bar. Bus stop out front of hotel made it easy to go to Rhodes Town inexpensively and quickly. I would gladly stay here again.

We have chosen probably the best room on offer, swim-up with access to a private swimming pool and room was all right and comfortable, however swimming pool was freezing, they don’t heat up the water. Breakfast was included, but it was very mean, food of average quality, awful coffee and oversweeted juices from a concentrate. Instead of eggs/ommelette station they had a “mountains” of prepared omelette which is more like 3 stars hotel and they advert them as 4 stars. Dinner - buffet style with average and oily food, less tasteful than you would expect at 4 stars hotel. At the checkout I was offered to pay part of someone l’s else bill which was charged to the room 3 days before I checked in, disgraceful and unforgivable, I did not receive even sorry.

We stayed at this hotel in April. I was not expecting the room to be so COLD. There were no blankets in the room. The first night, I was so tired from the journey, I didn't want to go all the way to the front desk to request a blanket and I couldn't figure out how to call the front desk from the phone in the room. I slept with my jacket on and a towel over me, shivering the whole time. The next day I asked at the front desk for a blanket and they said they would leave one in the room. Well, they left a tiny, sad-looking blanket that looked like it was maybe 40 years old and barely covered one person, let alone two. Internet is available for free in the lobby but you have to pay if you want to use it in your room. I like that there is a tiny gym area. The pools were beautiful, but it was too cold to really enjoy them. Beautiful little beach area you can walk down to from the hotel. My daughter liked the kids' club. Overall though, not my preferred type of hotel at all, and I wasn't super impressed with the service (mostly the blanket issue, and I overheard a few other people also saying that the rooms were cold and asking staff for blankets). The restaurant was overpriced and there did not seem to be any consistent pricing system for kids. One night I was charged a full adult price for my kindergartener and another night she ate for free. Make it make sense.

This hotel is very nice, entertainment staff is so nice and fun! Reception staff not so nice. They will literally rinse your bank accounts out, so expensive, food was not so nice.

Excellent place and view is nice. And you can even rent car in the lobby. And old town only 10 minutes away

This property is a great value. The breakfast was good and the pool was spotless. It was an easy walk to the beach. The only downside is lack of Wi-Fi available in the rooms, and even if you paid for the Wi-Fi, it does not work for iPhone or iPad products. Otherwise, WiFi can be reached in the lobby and on the grounds.

We lovef the hotel. Our room was great with a wonderful view. Very spacious. Rania at the reception was really helpful. The bar was lively in the evening and the pool was great during the day. We rented a car in the hotel and conveniently went around the island. Great location, great room and great staff!

While the rooms are in good conditions, there are some areas that would need some rework like the lifts for example. The Pool area is very nice and clean. The breakfast buffet is only of average quality. Most needed would be a better coffee selection and some fresh orange juices. Overall an average Hotel options to improve for a resonable Price.

I really had good impression of the hotel , staff very nice friendly location perfect I went if all family we had good time

The Kresten Royal reception staff could not have been any more unwelcoming. She genuinely seemed like she would rather be doing anything else other than checking in guests. Again we are asked for a 'hotel voucher'!? Passport handed over for reference and I notice they're being filed away. No chance! I explain that I will not be parting with my passport. This did not help improve the mood of the receptionist. We were literally situated in the basement. Huge, dark echoing corridors that were quite frankly surreal. Also, be careful of the lift doors as they have a tendency to close on you leaving you with bruised arms. Think travel lodge / hostel. Plenty of pine colored basic furniture and twin beds pushed together. The bathroom was no better, moldy sink and 'spa' bath. We chose not to use the spa bath. There was however a large patio, the downside being that it also home to ants the size of a small car. The hotel is just plain weird. It's like an unfinished project. Internally it's huge, marble everywhere but on the whole empty. It's actually a bit spooky in a way, especially the floor we were on (0). It seems that they have scrimped on the little things that make a hotel, a hotel. Bland and boring best summarize it. This assumed scrimping makes even more sense when you see the hotel maids using supermarket trolleys to move their cleaning equipment around complete with the money slot! A real touch of class that until our stay we had never witnessed anywhere before!!

The hotel could not honour the booking because it had suffered an extensive electrical failure. I was transferred by arrangement to the hotel next door, claimed to be of equivalent standard. However, there was an overwhelming sewage smell in the area, thanks to a main drainage failure. The replacment hotel, supposedly four-star, was not great, with tired room decor and a mediocre breakfast. Obviously the Kresten Place were trying their best to cope, but had limited options.

It was very nice! They upgrade us to Arion with our on pool.

Loved our stay. Hotel provides a unique view over rhodes city. Clean room, friendly staff. Breakfast was tasty, loved variety and local delicacies. Dont miss greek night on monday, very good fun, and unlike usual low buffet expectations, very tasty variety and great salads. Visit Kallithea springs just 2m away, blue flag beach, great place for evening coctail. Was a very fair trade, Not having to pay for some irrelevant extras and enjoying the true sense of luxury holiday.

At times too noisy, any families with small kids.Tissues in the room could be of help. Pay attention to small details, But we enjoyed our stay.

While the Kresten palace looks very nice superficially the rooms were very basic, nothing I would expect from a four star hotel. The bathroom was cramped and the facilities were not up the standard. When we arrived they appeared to have lost our booking. We were then told we were "upgraded" to a sea view. This consisted of a little bit of sea and quite a lot of another building. The reception staff were unhelpful and didn't appear to be bothered. The food was so so but the dining room wasn't staffed adequately so tables weren't cleared very quickly and cups ran out. However the pool and bar staff were very friendly and helpful and I was a pleasure to sit in the bar in the evening. The pool was very nice and the food at the pool bar was nice. I do not believe this hotel should be rated as a four star due to the room quality.

10 day package tour to Rhodes is ideal. transfer is smooth as a lot of airport staff spoke English. Kresten Palace, in Kalathea is a 4* hotel, The sister hotel 5 star apartment at the Kresten Royal is luxuries with excellent facilities.The staff are helpful and pleasant. Waitress were super efficient,quick and very pleasant. The rooms were exactly as described. Can see the sea from balcony! The main pool was also a stone throw away but in no way disturbed us. The food was fantastic- for non vegetarians .For Vegetarians it was monotonous but then the local restaurants provided some variations Greek style. The breakfast was fantastic and varied. The evening entertainment was OK; kids seemed to love it. The water park, and the town Rodes are close, infect the local bus stopped just outside the Hotel. We found the charges confusing but always thought that the bus drivers were not to be messed about. Keep lots of change for traveling. We tried water sports in Falaraki. Safety was good. We eventually found the beach which was pleasant and if you are a good confident swimmer you could snorkel. The sea was lovely.August is the hottest month in Rhodes. Found Rhodes as expensive as England. Look out for the nice smiley receptionist helpfu

It has great facilities (except the gym, where equipment is not in working order and where there is little offered but then the heat is such that there is no great demand either. Staff are great, so good and hospitable. Great pool and access to beach. Fabulous. Food is very good.

Beautiful hotel great food and the staff are AMAZING!!!!!!! We felt very welcome Now we have a anter family in Rhodes

There is nothing wrong with the hotel if you are looking for a resort style hotel. We were looking for a hotel close to the port of Rhodes and Old Town. The map and description on Hotels.com lead us to believe that this hotel met our needs. Actually the hotel is 4-5 km from the city of Rhodes. We were using Rhodes to travel to other nearby islands not as a destination. If you want accurate location information go to the hotel's web site.

Our hotel was easy to locate, as it was in Kalithea & easily located with a map provided by our car rental business. The hotel staff was very nice, helpful & pleasant. Everyone knew some level of English. The morning breakfasts that were part of the stay (apparently in every Greek hotel) was delicious & was provided buffet style with fresh fruits, juices, many egg dishes provided in 5-6 different styles. A lot of breads & cheeses were available & the dining room where this was provided offered beautiful views. The rooms were private & the bathrooms large; comfortable beds & always a large balcony. I would definitely return to this hotel.

Wonderful location, very clean and friendly hotel. Wish to go back soon!
