Anixis Hotel

I stayed here for one night on my way to Karpathos but spent part of day here on my way back from Tilos, waiting to be collected to go to the airport in Sept.24. I also spent some time here on my way back from Karpathos,this is the main reason for my review. On the last night of my holiday in Karpathos I was not very well,my stomach was of it. I was collected from the hotel at 5.30am and had a 4hr40min crossing on a ferry to Rhodes. Wasn't really looking forward to it. I was picked up by a pre arranged Taxi at Rhodes port and taken back to the Anixis to wait until I was collected and taken to the airport for a late night flight. I was feeling rough so asked the owner Glynnis if she had a room I could use for the duration until my collection time. Not only did she oblige but also contacted Olympic,who I booked the holiday through,to see if they would stand the cost. They wouldn't but she only charged me 30euros. I also asked if there was a chemist near by, she said there was and asked what I needed, I told her , she said follow me , we went through a back door to a mini market,which is part of her hotel and on a shelf behind the counter was what I needed. It was her husband running the mini market,so I was introduced to him and her sons who also work in the hotel. I then went to my room and got some much needed sleep. But what lovely people they are. I can't praise them enough. They made me feel comfortable when I needed it. The room was a basement one but it was all I needed, it was spotless and the bed was more comfortable than the one in Karpathos. It's a good bar and they do food as well,there were plenty of tables and chairs. The only downside for me was it's up a side street off a very busy main road,which you have to cross to get to the beach. As I like to visit the smaller quieter Aegean Islands,I have a feeling I'll be seeing the Anixis again.
