“Amazing stay!!”

Lovely stay at melody studios.

Lovely stay at melody studios. Didn’t see a reception or anything so asked the bar staff for help with taxis/ buses etc and then had contact with someone on WhatsApp for check in details and check out/ tourist tax. Tourist tax was only €2 per night which was nice. It’s lovely and green with flowers everywhere. With this comes bugs so be prepared on the balcony for some bugs at night. The room was clean and they came in and changed towels and stuff. The only thing I would say was the shower bracket had fallen off so we hooked it over the window so we could shower. But we didn’t bring attention to it when we were there because it wasn’t really a problem. I know they were responsive with issues as the people in the room next to us had an issue and they pretty much fixed it straight way. The air con was almost too good ended up waking up and being freezing!! (I am one of those people that will turn it down as low as it can go so it gets cold quicker though so that’s probably why) Some of the reviews worried me a little bit but honestly great location only a 5-10 minute walk to the main part of faliraki We had seen a review that said there was no where to hold luggage after check out so we booked an extra night and just checked out when the transfer came to get us. No sunbed wars and the pool didn’t feel like a watering hole where there’s rows of people all watching the pool. Lovely hotel thanks for having us!!

“2 Star Studios 👌”

For a 2 Star place then this is excellent when compared against other 2 stars. Spotlessly clean, good storage space, decent bathroom, friendly staff, a good pool and a good location. It does have a bit of road noise, but it’s 2 star so you need to remember that. 4 Adults & 4 children in 4 rooms and… more

For a 2 Star place then this is excellent when compared against other 2 stars. Spotlessly clean, good storage space, decent bathroom, friendly staff, a good pool and a good location. It does have a bit of road noise, but it’s 2 star so you need to remember that. 4 Adults & 4 children in 4 rooms and all rooms were just as good as the others so it has continuity. I would definitely stay again, 110%

“Pleasantly surprised given some reviews - Has issues that could be resolved!”

Overall, my stay at Melody suited my purposes well, as I was out a lot, basic self-catering, a balcony & nice decor/layout BUT there were issues (see Negatives). POSITIVES: The room was clean & better than expected, given some reviews I’d read, towels were changed daily. Location was only 10 minute… more

Overall, my stay at Melody suited my purposes well, as I was out a lot, basic self-catering, a balcony & nice decor/layout BUT there were issues (see Negatives). POSITIVES: The room was clean & better than expected, given some reviews I’d read, towels were changed daily. Location was only 10 minutes from beach, 5 mins from Faliraki. Sunrise out backdoor, sunset from balcony. Fantastic through- breeze if you opened both doors. Night time ambiance at the pool bar was lovely & the pool itself was acceptable albeit a bit shabby. Communication was via WhatsApp, which was acceptable but not ideal. NEGATIVES: Air Con is total rubbish & costs an additional €9 a night, even with it on you must move the bed underneath for it to be effective! Bed was lumpy, thankfully there was a blanket in the wardrobe I put underneath the sheet to make it acceptable. Noise from the main road was loud & first but I did soon adjust to that. You had to run the shower for ages to run hot, even then it was hit & miss. There were loads of cats, which I didn’t mind, but some might. Only 2 knives, forks plates etc, very sparse utensil wise & no bottle opener. The fountain, shown in their main picture did not work, disappointingly. There was a constant buzzing noise from the fridge in my room, you could not unplug it, so I had to buy earplugs for sleeping! They say they offer late checkout, at cost, subject to availability, they do not inform you until 48hrs before if this is available, it was not. I was then told THERE IS NO LUGGAGE STORAGE AFTER 11am CHECKOUT!! My pickup was not until 5pm!! Thankfully the very kind people next door (Grecian Fantasia) let me store my bags, saving my last day from being a disaster!!

“Nice place but could do with some work”

We came from another hotel for an 11 night stay at Melody Studios, we arrived early hoping to check in before 3pm but unfortunately the room was not ready but the owner allowed us to put our suitcases in the room anyway so that we didn't have to carry them around for a few hours which was very nice… more

We came from another hotel for an 11 night stay at Melody Studios, we arrived early hoping to check in before 3pm but unfortunately the room was not ready but the owner allowed us to put our suitcases in the room anyway so that we didn't have to carry them around for a few hours which was very nice of him. He also gave us a thorough walk through/check in of how everything works and some little tips on the rooms. The location is next to a busy main road but this wasn't really a problem for us at all, the occasional motorbike riding past but it did make it easier for public transport in to Rhodes and its a short walk to the main High Street area of Faliraki and only a 10minute walk to the beach! There is a small shop nearby for pretty much everything you need. The room itself did have a few snags, the beds were quite solid and uncomfortable. The drawers on the bedside cabinets were also broken, the TV had some weird stains on it but we never used it anyway, the air conditioning filters were caked in grime.. The pool area was nice however a lot of the wooden sunbeds were broken and just left there. Plenty of cats about which were friendly. The pool bar was alright, not sure how hygienic it was though as a lot of the area was visibly dirty and cats would roam around, the food was a decent standard though and the drinks prices were fairly reasonable. Overall, I probably would stay here again based on value for money and the location.
