CANVAS BY MITSIS PETIT PALAIS 4 *

We had a wonderful nine-day holiday at Canvas by Mitsis in July 2026. First and foremost, I would like to commend the staff. Every member of the team was exceptionally professional, caring, and welcoming. Any questions or requests we had were dealt with promptly, and they consistently went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. They are a real credit to the hotel, and I sincerely hope their hard work is recognised and rewarded. The hotel delivers exactly what it promises. The rooms are comfortable, the beds are good, and the location is excellent. The Old Town is within easy walking distance, the beach is just a few minutes away, and there are plenty of restaurants, shops, and other amenities nearby. The only significant concern during our stay was the large number of teenage groups staying at the hotel. We noticed a constant turnover of these groups throughout our holiday. On several nights, they returned between 3:00 and 4:30 a.m., often heavily intoxicated. Unfortunately, this resulted in shouting in the corridors, doors being slammed, and, on one occasion, an unpleasant response towards guests who politely asked them to keep the noise down during the early hours of the morning. The behaviour around the swimming pool was also disappointing at times. Large groups would occupy most of the pool area and play football by kicking balls across and into the pool, occasionally causing disruption to other guests who were simply trying to relax. I appreciate that the hotel cannot control every guest's behaviour. However, clearer enforcement of quiet hours and pool etiquette would greatly improve the experience for everyone. Without appropriate management of these issues, families, older guests, and those seeking a peaceful and relaxing holiday may choose to stay elsewhere. That would be a real shame, as the hotel has many excellent qualities and, thanks to its outstanding staff and prime location, has the potential to offer an exceptional experience for all guests.

I absolutely love this hotel the staff members are all very friendly and helpful and the food is lovely. The rooms are very nice and cleaned regularly. They don't just treat you as a guest but as family. When you're welcomed to the restaurant by popi you immediately feel welcome and you know that the experience will be beyond expectation. She is a very lovely beautiful lady and will always give you her time to help with anything you might require.

We stayed here for four lovely nights and had a really enjoyable stay. Before arriving, I was a little worried after reading reviews about the small pool and having to queue for sunbeds, but it wasn’t an issue for us. The pool area opens at 9:20am, so there were usually a few people waiting, but we always managed to get sunbeds. It does get much busier from around 11am onwards. The pool itself is small - perfect for a dip and for children to enjoy. The rooms are traditional rather than modern, but they were spotless and cleaned daily with fresh towels. On arrival we were welcomed with a bottle of bubbly, and on a few mornings we were also treated to fresh fruit and rolls, which was a lovely touch. The views aren’t the best, as the Mitsis Grand Hotel opposite is currently being renovated. Pool-view rooms can also be a little noisy, as this is a city hotel and the rooms are much closer to the pool than you would find in a large resort. There is one buffet restaurant with a different theme each evening. Some nights the food was excellent, while on others it felt a little repetitive, particularly if you’re vegetarian, as the choice was more limited. The fresh pizzas from the clay oven were absolutely delicious, and the salad selection was always excellent. We stayed on an all-inclusive basis, and the drinks selection was fantastic. There’s also a pool bar serving snacks such as chips, crêpes, hot dogs, and popcorn throughout the day, which we really enjoyed. We had a lovely, relaxing holiday, but it’s worth knowing that this isn’t a large resort-style hotel with lots of daytime activities. That said, the evening entertainment was great, creating a fun and friendly atmosphere. The staff were wonderful throughout our stay. Their hospitality was exceptional, and they genuinely went out of their way to make sure guests felt welcome and well looked after. The location is fantastic. It’s within walking distance of the beach, which is very pebbly, and Rhodes Old Town is also close by, along with plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants. This was a different experience from my usual five-star resort holiday, but we still had a very pleasant stay. I would definitely book another Mitsis hotel in the future, although I’d probably choose one of their five-star plus resorts. This hotel is more of a comfortable, basic city hotel, so don’t expect luxury extras like concierge service, room service, or premium resort-style facilities. It’s ideal for people who enjoy exploring the local area, whereas if you’re someone like me who prefers spending most of your holiday relaxing at the hotel, I’d recommend choosing one of their larger resort properties instead. Overall, we had a lovely trip and really enjoyed our stay.

Good vraiters Stella and Ersi Good clining good atmosféra in hotel helping receptions

We had a great stay at this hotel. It offers excellent value for money, and the service was outstanding. A special thanks to Popi from the restaurant, who truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.

Just back today from a 9 night stay , we had a fab time location is great not far to the beach loads of places to eat and drink and shopping too, Also the old town was about a 15 min walk, The hotel was lovely and clean and everyone was welcoming and helpful what a fantastic team, we will definetly be returning, the pool is small but there is sun beds available on the beach, I liked the fact that the pool area was locked until 9.30am so if you wanted a sun bed you needed to queue up arould 9.15, fresh towels available every day,the food was lovely and plentyful, a different theme every night for the week, also nightly entertainment if you wanted it, Would highly recommend this hotel beds were comfy too

Me and my wife arrived late at night and were greeted with a cold glass on wine and a easy check in . Rooms were a bit dated but they were cleaned everyday . I was to tall for the shower but my wife says it was lovely. We were in a room across from the building works and despite what people say you cannot hear much at all untill you open the door to the balcony but that's fine as your romm is fully AC . The food was great a different theme every night and cooked very well and plenty to chooses from . All the staff and i mean all the staff were lovely and hard working to the pizza guy to Zara who ushered you to your table and the guys in the bar at night always happy to help but just say please and thank you manners goes a long way . Where the hotel sits is great close to lots of bars if you want to go out and 10min walk into the old town as well . My only disappointment is the pool is too small And you have to queue up between 9-9:30 before they open up to get a bed . The pool gets shaded by around 3 o'clock so not much sun after that .

Amazing stay!! We had the best time in Rhodes but it was so enhanced by the great time at Petit Palais. John on reception was so kind and helpful, as well as Anastasia and the housekeeping team being incredibly efficient - what a great place, food and people!! Thank you Petit Palais for an incredible time - hope to be back soon! ☀️

Second time visiting Mitsis Petite Palais and again had an amazing time. All staff are so polite, attentive and accommodating and we were allocated a room with a lovely sea view. We used the beach everyday which was managed by a great gentleman who works extremely hard to ensure hotel guests are looked after! Location is great as beach is a couple of minutes walk away so ideal for us. We were B&B and the breakfast was enjoyable with lots of choice. Thank you Mitsis Petite Palais for another lovely stay :)
