Platon Hotel

An enjoyable two nights in a well established hotel of well over four decades, owned by a family with deep community roots, in the historical Faliraki resort town They also own a silver smith business and artisan wood carving offerings ; including handmade musical instruments - available at the interesting store, attached to the hotel. The accommodation was great for the price,and most conveniently located near the centre of town; and close to the beach. Other conveniences provided : the close proximity to the bus stop, to and from Rhodes town; the local supermarkets for supplies; and all the shops, restaurants, bars and clubs within short walking distance. The views from the balcony included the lovely church adjacent to the hotel; the surrounding hills and a bit of ocean. The sounds of the church bells on Sunday morning was pleasant. The pictures online match the actual accommodation on offer - and everything was clean and in working order; including the stove top and refrigerator; A/C included. The staff and housekeepers were attentive, friendly and welcoming. One of the owners of the hotel was present at check- out, and spent an hour with my travel partner and I , answering questions about her family/ descendants and their historical connections with Faliraki, while servicing up great coffee and ice cold waters in true Greek hospitality fashion! Thus ended a delightful interlude. I shall return to this pleasant hotel. Highly recommended.
