Anika Studios

Splendid atmospheric pool... Friendly restaurant staff...

Anika Studios is amazing value for money. My boyfriend and I booked through EasyJet to visit in mid June, and we enjoyed the restaurant and cocktails by the pool. The staff were lovely and friendly, and the aircon was €10 per night upon arrival, which we were expecting and worked brilliantly anyway. There’s also plenty of room to park a hire car opposite, which we did with no issues. Well located set back outside of the main resort, although there is a 20min walk to the beach, so be aware if you think you might struggle in the heat. There are plenty of shops/bars/restaurants in Faliraki which we went to to buy some cheap gyros and souvenirs, but would definitely recommend hiring a car to drive down to Lindos, or even just getting an Uber into Rhodes town also. Maybe one thing to note also, is the mattresses are quite hard. I slept okay but my boyfriend did struggle the first couple of nights. Overall, a great hotel if you’re looking to see Rhodes on a budget.

Rooms are not refurbished to a high standard so this is dissapointing as it wasnt as good as the photos looked online. Bathroom needs doing up as there is a strange panel on the left wall full of rust. Bathroom window dirty. Bit of mold building up too along shower . Shower head old. One bulb missing from mirror in main room but other than this the main room was fine +clean. Not much space to store your clothes if you are there for a week as a couple. Bin provided in kitchen cupboard broken so we just kept the lid open constantly. Cleaners emptied the bin so im not sure why they didnt give us a new bin. Floors not mopped to a high standard. You wouldnt really know the room had been cleaned.The bed is the main highlight of the room as its very comfortable. Pool was very nice. Added bonus was the Cats! Complex feels more like an apartment complex for locals rather than a holiday complex. Food in restaurant was nice big portion for a good price! Im not one to complain on holiday as im there to enjoy, i also paid a fair price to be there and I dont feel it impacted my holiday at all just wouldnt stay there again. A lock should be put on the courtesy shower that you provide near the luggage room.

Nice small complex with 2 pools and onsite restaurant and a snack bar We were in a refurbished room which was a good size however the space could have been better used. Storage was minimal which meant we had to live out of suitcases. There were no drawers or dressing table and the wardrobe space was tiny and too short to hang dresses. We spent most of our days at the adult only pool and ate at the snack bar. The lovely Australian lady who worked in the bar was the highlight of the whole place. She was so funny friendly and helpful. Not sure if it’s because we didn’t spend much time or money at the main pool or restaurant but we found the rest of the staff a bit cold and aloof. Very rarely did we even get an acknowledgement or a hello which I’ve not experienced before in 35+ years travelling to Greece. It didn’t bother us particularly as we were not there much but a polite hello would have been nice. All in all we had a great stay and the few minor niggles didn’t affect our enjoyment.

We’re just back after a weeks stay at Anika Studios and would definitely recommend it! We booked through our local travel agent and feel for what we paid, our holidays been a total bargain! The hotel is lovely, quite modern and the pool/bar area is gorgeous. Our room was spacious and clean with a big balacony. Staff were all friendly and super helpful. We were room only but had lunch in the hotel a few days and we thought the food was great and good value for money! I am celiac and the hotel catered really well to this with gluten free bread and tortilla wraps - if you’re celiac you’ll know this can sometimes be a rare experience lol. Had quite a few drinks in the hotel too which were all lovely, we felt the drinks were a little pricey but this seemed to be the case everywhere we went in Rhodes. Only thing I would say is I don’t think this hotel is great for young families. The hotel has a very quiet, chilled out feel to it and I think young kids would be bored easily here. Overall, it’s a great hotel and we had the best time ☺️

September 2024 - Currently staying at Anika Studios. Lovely hotel so close to everything but far enough from main ***** that the evenings are quiet so able to get a good night's sleep. Bus stops are only a ten minute walk away so easy to get around. Main shops/bars also approx. 10 minutes walk and beach max. 20 minutes walk. Staff have been friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Room is clean and although basic, has everything we need, kettle cutlery, plates etc and a portable hotplate (although we haven't used this) Prices for food and drink at the hotel are reasonable, soft drinks & coffees average €3.50 Beer €5. Small water €0.5. 2 Pools, family pool & adult only pool with relaxing atmosphere. Bar/restaurant next to adult pool (lovely lady serving here) and another restaurant/bar next to the larger family pool. Small shop onsite but supermarkets within easy walking distance. Things to be aware of: If you have mobility issues, there are no lifts at this property and the hotel is up a slope from the main road. There are lots of mosquitos at this time of year (come prepared!) Towels are provided in the rooms but remember to bring pool/beach towels. Overall, so far we are having a lovely relaxing holiday with great temperatures 🙂
