A True Hidden Gem in Rhodes – A Memorable Stay As a yacht captain who has visited Rhodes hundreds of times over the past 30 years, I could almost consider myself a local. And yet, I now find myself wondering—how did I miss this hidden gem for so long? We were in search of a pet-friendly hotel, and with our usual two choices unavailable, In Camera Art Boutique Hotel appeared on Booking.com. What a fortunate discovery. From the moment we made our reservation, the team was incredibly responsive and accommodating. I had requested written confirmation about bringing our dog, and they promptly reassured us with warmth and clarity—an early sign of the thoughtful hospitality that defines this hotel. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with genuine smiles. As our suite hadn’t been occupied the night before, we were able to check in immediately—a wonderful start. The suite, spread over three charming levels, was just as beautiful as the photos online—perhaps even better. Cozy is the word, but don’t let that suggest small; it was spacious, easily over 40 sqm, and smartly designed. With two bathrooms, there were no “morning queues” between my wife and daughter. The beds were wonderfully comfortable—but the pillows! I absolutely fell in love with them. Best sleep I’ve had in ages, even compared to home. Breakfast exceeded all expectations. A wide selection of fresh local produce, homemade pastries, fruits, cheeses, and made-to-order omelets—all prepared and served with care by the lovely chef. Sitting on the terrace in the morning sun with that spread was a daily highlight. What stood out above all was the team—from housekeeping to reception and the kitchen. Each interaction felt warm, sincere, and personal—a refreshing change from the robotic, forced smiles seen too often in larger hotels. Thank you to the entire team. You’ve created a place full of soul, style, and comfort. We will most definitely be back.

The hotel had a fantastic location just where all the restaurants start but a few meters away to be quiet. The staff were amazing! They organised us transfer and picked us up from the gates! They even organised a golf cart to my parents who stayed away without needing to ask! This is what is called going above and beyond! Fantastic stay. We loved the breakfast that was varied and different every day. We have also made feel so welcome. The room was very clean. We read some negative reviews about the room where we stayed that there were too many steps but this wasn’t bad at all even if we stayed with a baby and had to carry her up and down for breakfast. The pictures were representative of the room!

Nothing

A 4 night break to celebrate our 25 years together could not have been more perfect. The huge room was lovely with lots of windows giving views over the old town, but the service and people make this hotel stand out as luxury. Not pretentious, but caring and anticipating our needs. Breakfast was amazing, Tzeni was so much fun and, as well as creating great breakfasts with crispy bacon, also produced wonderful cookies, cakes and Greek pies. Our waistlines suffered. Thank you to all the team, we really did feel we left as friends.

The old town of Rhodesi is a beautiful and special place. This hotel is in a quiet and atmospheric part of the old town away from the crowds and major shopping streets. It’s still close to all the sites but just a bit away from the busiest areas. The conversion of the property is wonderful and each of the rooms is unique. They are extremely well appointed. The staff are very friendly and helpful . The breakfast was sumptuous and nothing was too much trouble from our very welcoming hostess. It was a great experience all round.

Nothing u would definitely go back

We loved this hotel and its setting is the heart of the old town (lots to discover). It had a real sense of history. Our apartment, Places in Suspension, was so comfortable and well equipped, with a beautiful sunshine terrace (great views) and another offering partial shade, that on several days we didn’t venture any further. It was the definition of relaxation. We were delighted to meet Nikos, and hear about his passion for the restoration of the town. All the staff were friendly and attentive. We were also grateful to Marios for his help when we had to rearrange our original booking.

In Camera is a wonderful, characterful boutique hotel with masses of charm. Exactly what we hoped for. It has lots of stylish touches and artefacts specific to the photography interests of its owner. Each room/suite is unique. We had a small garden sitting are which was welcome after a day of exploring the city in the heat!

Marios the hotel manager was attentive and charming. He is full of knowledge about places of interest and nothing is too much trouble. Vasso provides breakfast each morning. She is a wonder! She takes pride in the food she cooks, bakes and presents beautifully. She is full of charm and personality. We loved our breakfast time! George is the other key member of this team. He is a very thoughtful and attentive character adding to the charm of this glorious place. We will return on our next trip to Rhodes and cannot recommend this place more highly. Also, the location is great! It’s in a charming little square with a handful of lovely restaurants and bars but it’s not a busy or touristic place, it’s subtle and a perfect little haven. Just lovely!

We recently returned to In Camera Art Boutique Hotel for another short stay with family—and once again, it was faultless. The same warmth, comfort, and thoughtful attention to detail we appreciated during our first visit were all still very much present. It’s rare to find a place that maintains such high standards with such genuine hospitality. A true hidden gem that continues to impress. Thank you again to the wonderful team—we look forward to our next visit.

The staff was super friendly! Especially Vaso - we loved Vaso! Breakfast was delicious! The best ever. The Forms of Light apartment had a fantastic view of the city and the jacuzzi was a nice touch. The bed was super comfortable. Lots of pillows! Plenty of clean towels and for the jacuzzi. We love that it was in the ancient walled city - close to everything! Great location.

The only thing our daughters mentioned was that you could hear the music from the restaurant in their room at night (Apollos).

Our hotel room had such a charming, quirky vibe—perfect for a family of four! Spread across three levels, there was lots of space for everyone to relax. The highlight was a gorgeous, oversized terrace offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Old Town and the sparkling sea. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. Their restaurant recommendations were spot on.

The history of Rhodes Island is one everybody should learn and experience at least once in their lives. And what a better place to begin by staying at a hotel inside the island’s famous Medieval City. “In Camera” is built utilizing the existing structure of the Medieval City as per the laws set by the World Heritage Site program by UNESCO, thus respecting both the imminent change of the future and the solid, unparalleled foundation of the past. The staff are great representatives of this philosophy, as they show their professionalism and hospitality through their work. Marios and George arranged guided tours in and out of the Medieval City for us, which are -suffice to say- definite recommendations for anyone interested in visiting Rhodes, the housekeepers ensured the Medieval Villa we stayed in was thoroughly cleaned, and Vaso (the cook) always greeted us with a big smile and a bigger selection of delicious goodies. For those reasons, I wish all the staff, as well as the owners, a warm thanks and may your hotel become part of modern Rhodes’ history!
