DIONYSOS

Lovely hotel. Great location, there’s plenty of restaurants and shops nearby and a very short walk to the beach. It was easy to book taxis through the reception for short journeys, there is also a bus stop around the corner. The room we had was very clean and spacious, the only downside was that the walls were a little bit thin and could hear a lot of conversations next door. It was occasionally loud in the corridors too as you could hear doors slamming shut. In terms of around the pool area, it was okay, plenty of sunbeds however not enough parasols at all, the food around the pool was amazing, Roland made the best souvlakis ever! And I would say very good value for money too. Staff are friendly and helpful, the maids do a great job at keeping things constantly clean which is nice. The entertainment wasn’t too bad, there was something new every night and they made an effort to get people involved. Overall I would recommend this hotel and could potentially see myself re visiting in the future.

3star rating is me being generous, the hotel was built in the 70's and it showed. Rooms were very basic! Lift only takes 3 people and didn't even stop level with the floor! Evening entertainment was for 1 hour only and you were not allowed to take drinks from another area to another ie one of the restaurant's to the entertainment area, we bought 1 red and 1 white bottle when eating there and even though we bought at the hotel, we were not allowed it. The pool area is lovely but its not a deep pool 1.2m and they are very strict no jumping / diving and definitely not enough sunbeds. Coffee shop and bar both opened at 10am, however at that time we still had to wait over 10mins while the staff had their coffee, fag and a chat, while there was a cue of people! The staff were a mix, some wanted to help, others didn't want to be there and it showed! Drinks are expensive €6 for a corona while it's €1.80 in the shop but again don't be fooled as your only allowed your drinks in the room! On checking out we requested the room for longer as we had a late flight home, this was requested but you have to check again the morning of checkout, we we're told we couldn't which is fair enough. They had a shower room for guest's but this had to be booked and we were not advised and we couldn't use this so we packed l, left our luggage in the luggage room and headed to the pool to wait for our flight. 10mins before our bus back to the airport, we grabbed our cases to out our bits in and they wouldn't let us have our cases in reception, it looked messy was the reason, absolute joke, it's a hotel, so why can't we have OUR stuff! Instead we were forced to open our cases outside the hotel on the side of the road whilst waiting for our transfer, not sure that looks better than inside the lobby area out of the way of other guests? As paying guests at the hotel, we were made to feel like we put them out for doing their jobs! Would return to Greece but not this hotel.

Restaurant by pool was amazing. Alexandros and vangelis coudnt be better

A good hotel will give a solid 7.5 out of 10 ...food was all good ..location good a 5 min walk from beach ..all restaurants pool bars etc good ...rooms ok ...bathroom needs modernisation..air con very good in room ...some parts of hotel have no air con ...and some areas of hotel looking a bit tired ...not a modern looking hotel but a nice traditional Greek hotel ....staff lovely ...very clean hotel .. well worth the money we paid

Amazing place to stay! Highly recommend, especially loved the Greek Mediterranean restaurant! Alexandros and Vangelis were always quick with service and friendly! Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends

Just returned from a week holiday at the Dionysus hotel Here is my honest option of the hotel. I have stayed in many 4* hotels with top notch decor. This hotel is NOT a 4****, is 3 *** at 4 star prices. Beware you have to 70€ (£60) in cash this is a room services charge per room , not tourist tax. There is a supermarket at the end on the drive way just a you go up to the hotel, it’s reasonably cheap. On first impression arriving at the hotel, the reception area is nice but no air-conditioning and some furniture desperately needs updating. The staircase up to the room has red carpet with dark wood handrails. The hallways to the room are dark with red carpets and dark green wood key lock doors and the walls are paper thin. There are 2 lifts each lift only takes 3 people, they are really small. If you have large cases, you will only be able to get 1 person and 1 large case and small case in a lift at one time. The bar area is also pleasant but again furniture needs updating is looking very tired and no air conditioning. The pool area is very nice, not enough sun-beds and not enough sunshades. There is no poolside entertainment during the day. There are pool towels. If you don’t return them on the day before your departure you get a grilling from the reception staff. Men be pre paired to take trousers with you if you are half board. There is a dress code for certain areas on site when eating in the restaurants on site. Now for the breakfast room ( yes you read it right breakfast room) is just above the reception area. level H in the lifts. The breakfast room is split 2. Again no air conditioning, the breakfast on the right going up the stair case does have air conditioning only on the right hand of the room, the second breakfast does not. Warning , if you use semi-skimmed milk, or skimmed milked, or if your lactose tolerance, or use oat milk, unfortunately they only use full fat milk. The Breakfast is mainly continental. You will find some strange things , like broccoli, sweetcorn, onion rings beings served for breakfast along with bacon, eggs bean, cheese pie, omelettes with bacon, no veggie ones. Then you usual cake, toast, cereals and freaks fruit which already peeled, and covered. Now for the rooms, the are looking very tired, outdated furniture, I found the bed to be extremely soft. Again desperately needs updating, and a small fridge, The bathroom: There is a hair dryer in the bathroom, it’s a small bath with shower and shower curtain. Theirs is a basket in the bathroom that some small 10ml bottles of shower gel, no shampoo or conditioner. The shower/ bath is small it’s self are onbut if you are a large person the taps for the shower are not below the shower head it’s-on the side of the wall, not leaving enough room to stand straight in the bath. The beach is about to minutes walk down the road, again not cheap €25 for 2 sunbeds & 1 sunshade I found this expensive and the beach is littered with cigarette butts and degraded plastic bags and other rubbish. A taxi to Old Rhodes town is €10, you walk down the road cross over to right hand side turn right at the bottom area crossover at the zebra crossing continuing walking right, just pass the bus stop is the taxi rank. There is not much going on in Ixia, there you will find a few restaurants left and right at the bottom of the road. Would I return to the Dionysus Hotel Ixia NO. I was disappointed considering how much we paid as a family of 3.

Thank you to all the staff at this hotel. They were very helpful, from reception to room service, and very kind. We had a wonderful holiday at the hotel. The rooms were very, very clean and were cleaned every day, with bed linens and towels changed daily. There are 3 restaurants in the hotel that serve great and delicious food, especially the swimming pool restaurant. I especially want to mention Alex and Vanklish, who worked at the restaurant and were very kind to us. Thank you for making our holiday wonderful.

From start to finish we could not fault our stay. I had emailed a month in advance to request rooms next to each other for ease for our stay and they accommodated this request no problem. Rooms are basic but very clean and the beds and pillows are super comfortable. Breakfast was lovely and fresh and nothing is too much trouble. My daughter can only take soya milk and this was brought to her each morning at our table. The pool area is spotless and plenty of beds. They remove towels if unattended for a while which I agree with as stops the hoggers!! Every member of staff we encountered were so friendly and welcoming. I could go on and on but would definitely recommend.

Lovely! Alex at the Maistros restaurant was superb and gave excellent service Xx Had a lovely time thank you

excellent service!! especially from alex and vangelles who were very friendly and welcoming at the included restaurant! thank you for such warm hospitality!

We had the best time in the hotel. It was a really clean, and the atmosphere was great. The restaurants are also very nice, good food and we loved Alex!

I stayed with my friends in the Dionysos hotel for a week. The staff was really nice and the food at the grill restaurant was amazing. Especially the waiter Alex was very kind to us and treated us amazing. He’s the best! We loved him!

I’m going to give a fair review as up until the end of our visit I was willing to ignore the faults and planned on bringing a large group of family back as I enjoyed it! however our last day really let us down and put us off from returning to dionysos. The outdoor area of the hotel Including its restaurants is beautiful, the staff are so lovely and attentive and it’s a really lovely vibe. It’s a good location right near the beach and the pool is big. The accommodation side of the hotel is what really lets it down. We arrived and asked for late check out and was informed we had to wait until check out day to find out if we can. That was okay I understood, we then arrived to our room to find ants around the dresser, again I got rid of them myself and didn’t want to cause a fuss. The walls are paper thin, I could hear basically everything from other guests.. if you understand what I am saying. Again, I let it go because I really don’t enjoy complaining, then the cleaners in the morning are super loud, shouting down the hallways, as lovely as they were it was slightly inconsiderate. Still I did not mention it to the hotel and continued to enjoy myself. Our last day is really where Dionysos hotel really let us down, we asked about the late check out to be told “no fully booked” I actually checked and there was rooms available (yes a slightly better room than what we had but still a room) I asked could we not pay to use the unoccupied room as our flight was very late at night and the lady on the desk (blonde hair) actually did try to help us and figure something out for us. I was passed onto her supervisor on the phone who was a very very rude woman who told me “just because there is a room available doesn’t mean we will give it to you for late checkout because they want to sell the room for our sales” I responded by telling her I understand that she isn’t interested in looking after her current guests and it is all about the money. I did not once raise my voice and remained as polite as I could as again, I am not someone who complains I do not enjoy doing so!(By the way the room did not get booked at all that day yes I checked so they actually lost money by not allowing me to book the room for the day) I honestly think because the room was a little more expensive than the one we stayed in they didn’t want us to go there. I even offered to pay more than the late check out fee if that was the issue. Then, I actually ended up falling and spraining my ankle and passing out (not the hotels fault I missed my footing so I’m not blaming anyone) however I asked the desk for an ice pack and they tried to tell me to go the shop for an ice pack!!! I said do you not have a first aid kit to which they told me to go to the bar for ice. Not once did they ask if I was ok or to even offer to get me ice themselves as I couldn’t walk properly! I was actually disgusted In the total lack of care to be honest. It feels like they do not value their current guests and for this reason I unfortunately would not recommend staying here. I’m actually sad to be writing this review as if they valued their guests who are paying to be there, it would be a perfect hotel. I completely understand businesses needing to make money however guest experience should be a priority to encourage recommendations & revisits. To the supervisor I spoke with - please work on the way you speak to people!!!! 2 more things, they pretended the card machines weren’t working at the bar then my partner told them he doesn’t have cash and all of a sudden the card machine works! Then we were told we couldn’t have our suitcases in the lounge for 15 mins while we waited for our transfer! The last one about the suitcases isn’t that much of an issue but it just felt a little bit silly..

Amazing stay! Service and food is really good! Lady in the coffee shop is lovely and makes amazing coffees. The service was great especially from Alex in the pool restaurant!

The food service was really good and tasted really nice, the service, especially Alex from the pool restaurant was fantastic.
