Very good hotel in a fabulous location. It was clean and staff were friendly. The pool area was extremely busy, however that wasn’t an issue because you are on the beach.

I had a very disappointing experience with this hotel. I booked their Single Room, which turns out to be a type of room hidden from all hotel visuals because it is a nightmare. Everything was falling apart – there was a big hole in the closet, the shower curtains were stained, the window was up above facing two buildings' air-conditioners. Everything in the room was old – not vintage, broken, faded, falling apart old. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and the towels were old and gray. There was nothing but a kettle and a cup in the room (no tea, no coffee, no water). The hallway to this room was dark, smelly, and dressed in a stained carpet. The worst thing about this is that nowhere (not on the hotel's website or social media or on Expedia or other platforms), there was a hint of this hidden room type. I wanted to change my room but I was told that there were no rooms available. After very persistent complaints to the reception and to Expedia (thank you Expedia!), I was informed that there was a cancellation. I was then given another room – which I think is also not on the website. It is a small room with a small sliding door/window facing another building. But, it was beautifully renovated, with a new bed, fluffy towels, and a welcoming tray of coffee, tea, and snacks. The hallway was still ugly with old furniture and carpet but no smell. The hotel has a mediocre buffet breakfast. Its location is quite convenient.

Recent stay
A great place to stay if you are visiting Rhodes Town. We had a deluxe sea view room and were very pleased with it. Very close to "Bar Street" if you like that sort of thing. We used the Red Lion quite often and had some good entertainment from the Swedish/Dutch and Norwegian youngsters. Hotel is on the "windy beach" side but the wind is very welcome in the heat of the day.

Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights, we had 4 rooms. The place was great, the breakfast buffet was enormous! It was right across the road from the beach. We didn't use the pool, it opened after we were out sight seeing and closed too early (sadly). Convient to everything.

Hotel good location, close to beach.
the hotel had a lovely pool area and reception area however when we were shown to our room we were so disappointed. Although it was clean it was very dated and very basic. Considering it is classed as a 4 star hotel we did not have the facilities we have had in previous hotels we have stayed in. No wifi , no kettle no iron 50 euros extra to use safe. These are things we have had in other 4stars without having to upgrade. The bathroom was very small and very dated

Top Beach Hotel.
We have stayed for the last 2 years and are about to book for next year. The hotel is not far from the town and only a couple of minutes from the old town. We like to visit other Greek Isles and it is only a 5 minute walk to the harbours. If you like late nightlife it is on the doorstep.Taxi rank is outside and bus stops.

Great Location for a reasonable rate
We had a room on the 6th floor with a balcony overlooking the roundabout and the beach. Very central location - 1 Km to 'CBD' and Old Town. Good pool. The room was a good size and not noisy. WiFi incurred an extra charge - about a euro per day. Room Safe also incurred an extra charge - 2 Euros per day. Breakfast was great.

Close to beach Pool Looked nice. Rooms were old and looking tired. Pool area looked nice however weather prevented its use. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Had a problem and complained and the hotel made it up to us by providing some free drinks at the bar. Bar staff and reception staff were lovely.

stayed here one night and really liked how close it is to the bar street, maybe 200 ft. away. It's also right across the street from a nice beach. WiFi would of been nice but all the surrounding restaurants have it so you can go order a coffee and gain access. The hotel staff was really good to me and my friend, we showed up way before check-in and we were able to store our luggage with no issues.

They have everything....but you have to pay for it
The Blue sky hotel was average at best and we left with a bad taste in our mouth and pockets. Wireless? yes but it costs a fortune, every other Bar in Town gives free wifi? Gym? (big driver on which hotel we choose) yes but 14 Euoros a day, no thanks. Fridge? yes, but if you buy anything from outside the hotel and leave it in the fridge it will be thrown away. towels for the pool? NO and signs saying dont use the ones from the room. Reception staff unhelpful and tried to charge us for mini bar we never used. limited beds by pool and generally Average at best. Location was described as central, it was 20 mins walk for very fit people to Harbour and old town.

Hotel Info
Not as advertised. Beds were rock hard, shower so small you couldnt turn around in it. Advertised as Hotel and Spa but Spa was one hot tub that was never on and a tiny gym - no list of spa treatments as you would expect. Only one key room available for 2 people - despite asking for second key - never got one Restaurant - not much choice for food - was told we would get free lunch as missed our dinner on first night - they dont do lunch only by pool.

Great staff, meh room.
As our last stop in Greece, I was quite pleased with the view. Then I sat down on the bed, or should I say beds...two twin beds do not equal a double...even if you push them together. Let's be honest, hotels in Greece don't typically have the most comfortable beds. The bed at Blue Sky was terrible, with individual springs jabbing me in the ribs all night. Everything you might need at this hotel is available for a surcharge. WiFi? Not free. Available for about 3 Euros/hour. Need to use the room safe (listed as an amenity I believe)? Be prepared to plunk down a 10 euro deposit (the clerk allowed us to use the safe for free, but it's apparently a surcharge as well.) Great view, okay location (about a 15 minute walk from old town). I feel bad giving this place a meh review, because the staff was great and super attentive, but seriously, in 2013 hotels should provide wifi for free and not charge to use the safe.

Black clouds in a Blue Sky
Very disappointing. Booked 7 nights and the room was filthy. The carpet was absolutely black with huge stains. This dirt i assume has built up over the summer months and not been attended to. The stairways between the floors were the same.My son in an adjoining room fared better with a laminated floor but his shower cubicle collapsed and water flooded through the ceiling from the A/C unit when it was switched on. Otherwise fairly spacious room,plenty of mirrors/wardrobes etc. In room bar prices very reasonable. Reception staff very helpful. Breakfast- very basic cheap food- including sub standard bacon/sausages/bread/orange juice etc. They must have been the cheapest around to buy. Didn't try the evening meals priced at 8 euros for a buffet, but it seemed repetitive.Overall, a thumbs down and really only a 2 star hotel.

IT WAS OK. The room was alright. Was told on arrival that we had been upgraded by the hotel to a sea view, but that was already arranged when we booked. The bathroom/toilet was very small and the shower cubicle was really tight. Breakfast was reasonable but not great. The carpet was dirty in the room. The TV was small and the channels were limited. Amenities were ok. Location for the beach was great approx 50 meters

Sky Blue Hotel in Rhodes let down by little things
The Hotel is good, all the staff are super but the food and the rooms could so easily be much better. - The food is good but could do with better presentation and service. Our room would have been much better had it had a more up to date TV and certainly needed a better laundry detergent.

Fantastic location, very nice pool area. Great sea view from room, nice balcony. However, room itself was in a dire needed of renovations. Ugly, stained carpets and outdated amenities. But, for the low price, it is worth it. We didn't spend too much time in our room anyways...

We got the room for a great price, if we had paid full price we would have been very disappointed with the hotel. The pool area was lovely, it rained whilst we were there though. Breakfast, big selection,okay nothing great. Rooms a bit old fashioned, bed sheets smelled really weird although my husband did'nt seem to notice! Room was big, had a nice balcony overlooking the beach and ocean. Lots of cute restaurants and bars in the area.

The lobby is nice, but the room was sub-par
The outside of the hotel, the pool area, restaurant, and lobby were very nice; easily a 4 or 5 star hotel. Unfortunately the hotel room wasn't even close, there were deep dark track marks in the carpet and in desperate need of renovation although it was spacious. The neighborhood directly outside of the hotel was fine: the beach, supermarkets, etc, but beyond that the adjacent street was mostly: bars, sex shop, strip club, and tatoo parlors. Although you can't exactly choose who moves into your neighborhood.

The room was filthy on arrival. There was food and other debris on the carpet that had not been vacuumed. The sheets had hairs in them. We had to ask for vacuuming and clean sheets. Once vacuumed, the carpet was still extremely stained. Pillows and beds were lumpy. Room safes didn't work. Room looked and felt bleak. The front desk employee was helpful and did his best to get things fixed. Room was a bit better by second night.

Great location, but least favorite of trip
More expensive and less impressive than any of the other places we stayed in Greece or Italy during our 3 week trip. Even wanted 20 Euros extra for the use of our room safe. Keep us in limbo for a while while they tried to find a room for us even thought we had a confirmation number from Hotels.com. We left the door hanger requesting maid service. They opened the door and put the hanger on the dresser without cleaning or replacing towels. On the plus side, breakfast and the pool are both nice. If you want to sit in one of the chairs at the pool, however, make sure you are there as soon as the pool opens--they go fast.

Sea View and easy walk to everything you'd want to see/do in Rodos
We were very happy with our wonderful room overlooking the Aegean, with spectacular sunset views from our own little balcony. The food in the buffet service dining room for both breakfast and dinner was always good quality and had interesting variety. The wait staff in the dining room and at the front desk were the epitomy of what great customer service should be -- personable, helpful, friendly and efficient. There was one evening when a great duo played the bazooki and keyboard with new music and classics, right in the lobby. We didn't use the pool, but it looked nice and inviting.

Lovely hotel with a great pool and pool bar. The hotel is directly opposite the ocean. The location could not be better. A short walk to the old town. The breakfast was excellent - fruit, eggs, bacon, sausages, yogurt, breads, cereals. We ate our dinners in the hotel restaurant and it was delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Lovely location but that's it - too noisy (7am to 2pm) - cleaners were outside all the time. Room walls thin and could hear people in opposite room talking. No hot water on first day. Cold room - set air con but cleaner changed it on my return so cold room. Pool cold and busy but that's probably usual. Staff hardly seen except on check out when they did not return my passport and I forgot to ask despite paying my bill until I realised half way to the airport. Bed extrremely hard. Breakfast inedible. Will go to hotel near by next time as wonderful location
