Away from the old town you have got the new town with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. You will find Rhodes Town bar street more international than Faliraki for example, with a Scandinavian bar, and an Aussie sports bar run by a Greek Aboriginal. If you want a no-frills hotel in a central location then Hotel Alexia is a great choice, and for better facilities try The Ibiscus or Belvedere. For a five star in Rhodes Town consider the Mitsis Grand or have a look at a hotel in Ixia such as The Rodian Amathus Beach.
