Allegory Boutique Hotel

Allegory Boutique Hotel is a four-star boutique property housed in a medieval building at Antifanous 11 and Ippodamou in the Old Town of Rhodes, Greece. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site enclosed by Crusader-era walls, and the hotel sits among its stone lanes, within a short walk of the Street of the Knights, the Palace of the Grand Master, Hippocrates Square and the Mandraki and Commercial harbours. The old town is largely pedestrianised, so guests usually arrive by taxi to a nearby gate and continue on foot with their luggage. Diagoras International Airport is roughly 14 km away. The building's medieval fabric gives the hotel an intimate, historic atmosphere, with stone walls, vaulted spaces and compact, individually styled rooms typical of boutique conversions in the Old Town. Rooms are listed as Double Rooms and Family Rooms, with wifi available. The property is rated 10 out of 10 on Expedia, an unusually strong score, though the number of reviews behind it should be considered when comparing. Breakfast is the principal meal associated with a hotel of this scale, and the surrounding lanes hold a large concentration of restaurants, courtyard tavernas and wine bars, with main courses typically costing 12 to 25 euros. There is no beach on site; the nearest swimming is at Elli Beach outside the walls to the north, around 15 to 20 minutes on foot, and buses and taxis reach Faliraki, Lindos and the west coast. The service character is personal rather than corporate: a small team, help with transfers and excursions, and recommendations on dining in the Old Town. It suits couples, history lovers and travelers who want to wake up inside the walled city, though light sleepers should note that lanes can be lively in the evening during the high season.
