The two owners Notis and Gesine are a Greek-German couple, both world travelers who called several places around the world home.

They decided to move together to Rhodes, Notis’ hometown.

They already had the clear vision in mind to welcome travelers to the dream destination in a special accommodation: the first Design Hostel in Rhodes!

This, my dear reader, is your place to stay in Rhodes, Greece!

Gesine, Notis and their team care about their guests.

Every guest receives a homemade lemonade as a welcome drink to feel at home from the very first moment!

Design follows Function – No compromise needed!

Your answer to where to stay in Rhodes is Stay Hostel Rhodes. You know this by now.

It is the very first Design-in-mind Hostel in Rhodes. Gesine and Notis had a very clear vision of their design-in-mind accommodation.

However, the functionalities and usability of the hostel should not be sacrificed for the design.

The very first approach was to meet the needs of every traveler staying at STAY Rhodes. Sockets, WiFi, Chairs, towel hooks, comfort and many more details had priority.

But who says that must lead to a compromise? Have a look at the hooks; they are flipped hangers. Stylish and useful at the same time! For the female travelers, there is a 6-bed female dorm you can choose from.

Double bed at STAY Hostel - did you notice the hooks?

Throughout the Hostel you will find design elements in different variations, yet matching. The design is fresh and clean, combining ocher-colored elements with bright wooden furniture. Fiery elements ensure a colored, modern accentuation.

Besides the very modern and bright design, you will notice as well some upcycled furniture.

The in-house cinema is designed with pallets, alongside some tables and sofas. In total, 98 pallets found a new purpose as stylish furniture at STAY Hostel.

Fun story:

The ladder in the main lounge found its way to the hostel through the painter during the renovation. Gesine and Notis were looking for a vintage wooden ladder but could not find any as nowadays the ladders are made of metal.

The painter working in the lounge forgot his own wooden ladder on his last day.

But that’s not to say they just took it from him.

They informed him about the ladder and that they would actually love to have one for decoration purposes. He gave it to them as a present and can now be admired as you delve into the many board games on offer in the lounge.

A quick hostel story:

Once a former guest called the STAY hostel at 3 o’clock in the middle of the night. She stayed at STAY Hostel Rhodes and although she didn’t want to, she had to leave to visit her friends in the south of Rhodes.

They were staying at an all-inclusive resort, a type of accommodation she does not like. She disliked it that much that she called up STAY hostel in the middle of the night, asking for a free bed and explained that she wanted to return ‚home‘.

She hopped into a cab and drove all the way back to STAY Rhodes. She stayed!
