I didn't stay here but had found the website and liked the look of it. We went to see the Marco Polo last week, hoping to see a room for maybe another stay in Rhodes. What we did do though was eat in the restaurant.

I wasn't sure what to expect as the small garden was very secluded and there wasn't much around, then we met Spiros.

Spiros told us the menu, we had nothing to read, Spiros recommended some starters and mains and we were NOT dissapointed. This was a stunning menu and the best I have eaten on Rhodes. Go for the Pork Filet with rocket and parmaesan. Beautiful

Take the time to find this place as it is behind the main tourist areas of Rhodes town, but it is worth every minute you may take to find it.

From the moment we arrived at the Marco Polo we were enchanted by it. This is our second week-long stay at the Marco Polo with Efi and Spiro, who are most charming and helpful hosts. This year we were accompanied by two friends who loved the place as much as we did. The rooms are colourful, not to say exotic, and breakfast and dinner in the courtyard under orange and fig trees is an experience to be treasured. Thick Greek honey and nuts on fresh yogurt, pasteries, good strong coffee.
Dinner cooked by Efi is a culinary experience. And she willingly shares recipes.
Rhodes is close to Turkey and there are many evidences in the Old Town, where the Marco Polo is located, of Turkish influence.
Minerets stand close by ancient Christian fortifications. And the main walking street is more like a bazaar than a shopping street.
To those who want American hotel chain-style accomodation--this place is not for you. If on the other hand you like to breath in the atmophere of the locales in which you are staying, I can think of no better place than the Marco Polo.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at the Marco Polo Mansion and it was fantastic. The building is atmospheric, the rooms are beautiful, the garden was lovely and the in house food was so good that we stopped going out to anywhere else after the first meal. The location in the old part of Rhodes town is really very picturesque, not to mention convenient for everywhere.

Efi and Spiros are the nicest people you could come across, and they are so helpful you won't believe it. Efi took me to a wonderful English speaking Doctor while I was out there as I was really ill with a sinus infection, and then she stayed with me to make sure I was OK.

This is the kind of hotel and level of service I thought had disappeared long ago, and I am so pleased we had the opportunity to visit. We will definitely visit again.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in May 2006 with my parents. This hotel is absolutely charming. The decor is stunning ambience very relaxing. My parents' room had an old Turkish hamam. All the rooms located in the main house were wonderful, but I did not have a chance to see the garden rooms. The hotel is located in the old town - great location!

Efi is a wonderful hostess and fabulous cook. She arranged different activities (rental car, ferry tickets, private guide, Turkish bath, restaurants, etc.) to help us better see the beautiful island. Efi cooks fresh breads for breakfast, which is served with fruits, pastries, and yogurt. We ate dinner at Marco Polo two times and thoroughly enjoyed it. Efi is passionate about food and her cooking proves it!

I loved my experience at Marco Polo.
