Sala Historical Suites
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
For families who want to actually live in Rhodes rather than behind resort gates, this is a smart city base: modern self-catering apartments a few minutes from the Old Town walls and the sandy Elli Beach. Having a kitchenette makes early breakfasts, snack runs and toddler dinners easy, and you are surrounded by tavernas, bakeries and a real town. It suits culture-loving families with kids and teens more than beach-and-slides holidays.
Our verdict
The antidote to the big all-inclusives: a characterful, well-located city base for families who want culture, beach and independence. Best for kids and teens rather than babies.
The rooms
Contemporary self-catering apartments in the heart of Rhodes Town, a short walk from the medieval Old Town and Elli Beach. A one-bedroom apartment comfortably sleeps four, with a kitchenette so you can do breakfasts and toddler meals in. This is an apartment base, not a resort, so there is no pool or kids club: you trade facilities for location and independence.

Baby

Possible with the kitchenette, but cobbles, steps and no pool make it harder work with a baby.

The self-catering is a big help for meals and naps; watch the cobbles with a buggy.

Ideal age: castle, walls and town beach are an adventure.

Independence, history and a lively town make this a teen-friendly, un-boring base.

Parents also ask

No, this is a self-catering apartment base in town, not a resort; families use Elli Beach nearby.
Is it suitable with a buggy?
The apartments are fine, but the Old Town's cobbles and steps are tough going with a buggy.
How far is the beach?
Elli Beach, the sandy town beach, is a short walk from the apartments.
