This was our second stay at Epsilon Apartments, within a few years apart. The big change is what appears to be the separation from Ammadus, which is now a new hotel down the road. The impact - pool is far smaller and not as good as it was, no direct access to hotel bar/restaurant (you can visit the beach bar as a guest), and no breakfast on site (actually served at Esperides Hotel down the road). All of these changes are a bit downgrade from our past experience. With that said, there are still many pros - staff is super friendly, apartments are spacious and very pleasant, location is great. Recommended for families that are ok with finding their own breakfast spot outside (plenty of options), ok with beach or traveling (vs pool). As we are both of the forementioned, we had a good time and enjoyed our stay.

We arrived at the Epilson Hotel on the 06/06/2023 in the early hours of the morning. Upon arrival we took the keys and made our way to the room, as we entered the room it was filthy with hairs in the shower and all around the bathroom and overall the apartment was not in the condition you would expect a hotel room to be in. In the morning we went downstairs for breakfast to be told that we had to take a shuttle bus to another hotel for the food, this is when we also found out that the pictures on the advertisement for the hotel were false. This hotel is not on the beachfront and does not have a beach bar and loungers, those photos are of the hotel in front which the receptionist stated you could use if you paid for it. We then decided that we wanted to check out and move hotels, we contacted Expedia and spoke with the hotel who agreed that we could leave and would receive a refund. After we left the hotel and booked into another one we were then informed that the manager has since refused the refund and Expedia are absolutely useless hiding behind this as a reason to not send the money back. All in all if you are looking at booking this hotel be aware that the pictures are not the hotel you are booking and this is the hotel in front. We have never left a hotel in our lives and if it was just the cleanliness of the room we may have stayed, do not book with this hotel extremely disappointed and now out of pocket.

Great Apartment
Lovely location, about 20min stroll from main strip of shops and restaurants in Faliraki (so close enough, whilst not being right in the middle of things). Biggest issue was the traffic noise, it was like there is absolutely no sound-proofing whatsoever in the glass doors. Otherwise, 1-bed apartment was nice and spacious, with a couple of pots for use in the kitchens. There were free to use sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach (it is predominantly sand, with a few larger rocks, and a few pebbles to get into the water), and free beach towels. Also, there were lots of sanitiser stations around the buildings, and all seemed to be regularly refilled (I.e. we didn’t find any empty). All in all, very happy with the stay - but recommend taking earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.

Very convenenient location, the beach is gorgeous. Walking distance to water sports. The pool area is also very nice / separate kids area. The appartments are very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. I have to say that I was very happy with the Nespresso machine :) The ladies at the reception were great especially Tsempika who was very friendly and gave us good advice on day trips. Breakfast was nice and excellent bar and Taverna staff. The restaurant manager was very attentive and always came asnd asked if everything was ok. We enjoyed Greek night on Thusday. Definitley recommend this property if you are looking for a relaxed fun family holiday.

The property was ideally located near a beach. There was a supermarket attached and the property was right next to a shopping mall which was basically a street level row of shops, market stalls, cafes. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The property had a great kids pool with climbing apparatus. There was also a big water slide which was very enjoyable. The bathroom let the Property down. It was old, rusty and inconvenient as it had a bathtub with a shower head. The water was slow draining and the shower head made it very difficult to wash the kids especially. Breakfast was below par I am afraid. Not alot of options and it was too samey. The sand on the beach was gritty and pebbly. No fun for the kids.

This is a lovely hotel. Really nice service. It’s a bit underwhelming on arrival but The rooms are huge, dazzlingly clean and have everything you could need. All I could see from our balcony was Ocean front. Stunning. The beach bar/area is really perfect, stylish, managed well and you just don’t want to leave. The rooms are a little dated-but this was better than two of the five stars I stayed in while in Greece. Highly recommend.

Fine but not quite our type of resort
We enjoyed our stay of five nights. Our beach view studio was spacious with a well equipped kitchen, balcony overlooking pools and out to the sea and bathroom. We ate at one of the restaurants on site and used the pool and well equipped fitness centre. This is a large resort in a busy area of Faliraki, among other large resorts. The beach is coarse sand with pebbles so make sure you have footwear. Resort staff at checkin were very friendly however other staff are generally quite ambivalent about guests. The resort has some strange practices : ok, you pay one euro per day for beach towels and that’s done elsewhere however: why is there is no wash up equipment for dishes in the kitchen , coffee pods are not replaced; daily room cleaning is quite mediocre; the resort openly advertises that you pay to use pool and beach chairs; and, advertised parking is actually public parking. While we enjoyed Rhodes, having a car is a must as taxis are very expensive and Faliraki is large, very busy and almost like a tourist theme park- ok if you’re after that . Rodos town is really worth exploring as is Lindos and beautiful Agathe Beach. Many great restaurants up in Rodos .

We stayed here for a week in September. Pros - large apartment, clean, quite, good location (for those looking to be by Faliraki), great pool, access to beach, nice breakfast. Cons - condition of room and furniture, extra charge for baby-crib + beach towel + pool/beach beds (not chairs), value for money. Overall, this is a 3.5 star hotel that I would recommend in the right context. As long as expectations are set, this is a good place to stay.

Good hotel, on beach and with pools.
Had a self catering apartment on the top (7th) floor. Good sea view but there is another hotel partly blocking it. Balconies get sun in the morning (as SE-facing). Excellent room, good restaturant, excellent staff. Couple of other bars and restaurants within 200M, plus small shopping centre. 5 min drive (or ~9 Euro taxi) into Faliraki. Would def stay here again!

Amazing Stay
We came with some friends from 16 to 22 July. We checked in immediately without any hassle. The rooms were very clean and constantly being cleaned. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. If it is your first time in Rhodes island, Micheal will help you a lot about where to eat or where to go and have a good drink. There was a small problem in the wifi though, but hey, we are on vacation, there is no need to be 24/7 online.

Horrible staff, and so many hidden charges
You need to pay for pool towels, room safe etc etc you don't get shampoo, told to use the hand soap!! I travel a bit but this was as bad as it gets for 4 star. Not sure how it gets such good ratings. If you still go ahead and book ???? Ask for a view because the photos are probably from a few rooms
