Kolymbia Bay Art Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

Ok bon

Hotel was in a good location. The room was clean and comfortable and having a swim up room was absolutely great. The best thing was the staff, they were all so friendly, happy to help with anything we needed and were great during breakfast and for getting cocktails. The breakfast itself was excellent, food was always fresh and very tasty. We ate dinner one night as well and it too was delicious. Only things I would change: The swim up rooms and balconies are right next to a public footpath so we didn't have any privacy. The air conditioning in the room wasn't great.

Clean and bright hotel with lovely pool and bar area. Fresh good selection at breakfast. The Bay restaurant quality food and wine. All the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming and service was fabulous. We would love to stay when we return to Rhodes. Thank you 😊

There is good and bad about this hotel. The best part is the staff, you can see clearly by other review also that staff are extremely friendly, very accommodating. Special thank you to Alekos, who went above and beyond at breakfast every morning, made sure to speak to everyone and is an asset to the team. Also breakfast is amazing, by far one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had. However, there are some pretty big issues that would make me want to stay elsewhere. First of all, and this may be due to easyJet who we booked through, we booked a sea view room which was completely ruined by extensive works on a brand new hotel being built right in front of this hotel. We were told about this 9 days before we were due to fly (!!!). It completely ruined the ‘sea view room’ that we paid for. We were told there would be noise between 10AM-3PM and be minimal, it definitely was not minimal, there was construction as early as 8AM! And I wear earplugs to sleep! If I had booked a swim up pool room I would’ve been so annoyed, how is it relaxing to have that literally right outside your room and pool. The swim up pools are also almost on level with the road, I also would not be happy about this as basically anyone on the road, in cars/trucks, can look onto you. There’s minimal privacy if any at all. The pool area is awful, it’s small, there’s barely any beds, so many beds are under the shade. It’s also linked to the restaurant which is open to the public. There is a gate which they open, so again anyone can see you, and ruins the privacy. You can also see how dirty the area is, lots of mould on the walls surrounding the pool. There is also a large hotel behind this one, that is very loud, they have loud music playing, karaoke etc late at night which is very disruptive. As seen on other reviews also, the bathroom is not very clean, also evidence of unfinished work above the door and under sink. The shower overflows so much because there’s no door, we were having to use so many towels to dry the floor. Mould evident, likely due to this. There was also a lot of ants coming into our room, despite not having food in the room, and not having doors open

We stayed for 5 nights and loved EVERYTHING about our stay, from the swim up pool, to the candle lit dinner at the hotel restaurant with a violinist, to the concept nights at the hotel bar, everything was just perfect! Massive thank you to the amazing team, we can't wait to be back

Before I rip into this hotel I would like to note how lovely and helpful the staff are, that being said I’m very disappointed with my experience here. I have only left one review before but I felt it was important to review this hotel. I will do a pros and cons list of this hotel with a detailed review below: Pros: • very kind and helpful staff •nice communal pool •good public transport located just outside the hotel •good location Cons: •not clean •quite noisy as room is basically right on the street •pool is dirty/ broken •bathroom is extremely outdated and is very grimy (shower, tiles, towel holder, shower sprays all over the floor, ect) •the shower doesn’t get very warm and when it does it’s for a split second then back to cold water •cockroaches in bathroom I had changed my room as the one I was originally in was not like the pictures and was by the bins, and both rooms were very similar in the fact they were both outdated and felt unclean. I had payed for a swim up suit but was unfortunately not able to use the pool as it was filthy, I was the last room on the row and the jets on my area were broken (as well as the water features) so there was no movement of the water and not only was there lots of dirt at the bottom of the pool but the leaves and general dirt stayed on the surface. The sun beds were very dirty and not well maintained, the rooms had lots of cobwebs on the ceilings and walls, and in general I couldn’t feel very clean whilst being here as the bathrooms felt grimy and actually saw a few cockroaches in my bathroom whilst staying here. I would not recommend staying here as the price does not reflect on the quality.
