Sol Cosmopolitan Rhodes

“Nice hotel, great location”

The Sol cosmopolitan is located on the edge of Ixia next to the beach. General: 1. Clean - I can't express what an incredible job their domestic team do, I have never seen such a clean hotel! 2. Location - a 9 euro taxi ride (Oct. 2024) / 1 euro 80 cent bus fare (Oct. 2024) / 1 hour leisurely st… more

The Sol cosmopolitan is located on the edge of Ixia next to the beach. General: 1. Clean - I can't express what an incredible job their domestic team do, I have never seen such a clean hotel! 2. Location - a 9 euro taxi ride (Oct. 2024) / 1 euro 80 cent bus fare (Oct. 2024) / 1 hour leisurely stroll to Rhodes town. There is a taxi rank and bus stop just outside the hotel. A few shops, bars and tavernas on it's doorstep, the main resort of Ixia is about a 15 min stroll down the beach. 3. Welcoming. We arrived at 1am due to a flight delay and they had kept some food for us and could not be more helpful. Reception staff very friendly, even helped us out with a late checkout for free (it was the last day of the season, normally 7 euros per hour apparently) Food: Breakfast: Epic. So much choice, the lady poaching eggs / making eggs benedict every morning being my highlight. No real cereal (just cornflakes and muesli), but I don't think cereal is very Greek? If you are cereal mad, there is a big supermarket in the main resort of Ixia. Lunch: Fine. A good selection, something for everyone. Dinner: Good. Lots of choice from the obligatory English-friendly garbage (chips, chips, chips!) to nice Greek offerings like stuffed peppers, fish and grilled meats, Italian bits like fresh pasta and some fantastic salads. A theatre station each night offering grilled meats and another offering something a bit different. Snacks: The best snack selection at the pool bar we have ever seen on an AI holiday. Fresh made pizza in a pizza oven constantly being produced from 12-5 every day as well as salads and 6 cooked items. Facilities: The hotel facilities are fine. The pool was nice (very clean and well maintained) but so cold it is essentially unusable, it was however the last week in October so I assume it would be much warmer in the summer. The sea was just as convenient and much warmer, so no problem! The bars are very clean and well staffed, we're not big drinkers but the beer was nice, the AI cocktail list extensive. I expect if you are on holiday to get pickled for a week you would find something to complain about but honestly I thought it was pretty good. The entertainment team for the kids were working hard with a very small audience but I saw them really pulling out the stops even if our kids were not interested..... Rooms: We had a SOL Xtra family room. It was spacious and had good furniture. Did not like the two double beds (would have been better of the sofa bed had been a twin for the kids. Very limited TV channels, all news, but we just ran the laptop though the HDMI port - bring your own cable! Overall though it was clean, comfy and quiet.

We went to Rhodes at the end of October for 10 night for a family holiday. We arrived at the hotel which was lovely and clean and bright. The reception staff was very welcoming and friendly. We had a bellboy that took us to our room and wheeled our cases for us which was lovely. The room was clean and spacious and had an amazing view of the sea and beach (Very noisy though as we was above the shops and bars!) The restaurant was amazing did food to cater for everyone including 2 young children. The hotel grounds was clean and so lovely (pools were FREEZING but that's what you get for going in October) There was always activities at the pool side such as water polo and water zumba which we loved! They had a children's pirate ship splash pool which my children loved the water slides on there and the little children's park. The entertainment staff were so lovely and made felt like they genuinely loved their jobs and made an effort to talk to the children and always said good morning to everyone as they passed. I have to give a shout out to the staff at the hotel because nothing seemed like too much trouble - my daughter was sick all over the bedding late at night, when reported to reception they came and changed the bed which felt like it was no issue at all and they were super duper friendly. Thank you so much for making our holiday as amazing as it was!

I recently spent two weeks at this hotel, and overall, it was a wonderful experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The hotel was spotless, showing that they take cleanliness seriously, which added to my comfort during the stay. The location is ideal—close to everything you’d need and want to explore. The beautiful weather made it even better! One downside, however, was the gym. While there is a fitness area, the equipment is limited and not suitable for a full workout for adults. If the gym were better equipped, it would truly elevate the experience. All in all, I would still recommend this hotel for its many positives, and I hope they consider enhancing the gym in the future.
