Is Lil' Kim Dissing Nicki Minaj Just to Stay Relevant?
Those familiar with 'All About Eve' will recognize the story, with newcomer Nicki Minaj playing Eve Harrington to Kim's Margo Channing. Now, Kim's ratcheted up the stakes, decapitating Minaj on the cover of her latest mixtape 'Black Friday' (pictured here) and recently releasing the nearly seven-minute long title track attacking Minaj.
The feud started in spring 2010, when Kim publicly excoriated Minaj and claimed the latter's style -- specifically Minaj's love of wigs popularized by Kim in the mid-1990s -- ripped off her own pioneering look. Days later, Kim told a radio station:
The beef escalated from there, with the two rappers exchanging words in interviews and selected tracks.
"When [female rappers] come in the game and they realize that I'm not going away and my fans are still here and they can't just step on me, they get upset and then they don't want to be my friend anymore. I think that's really childish and stupid. Because all I ask for is respect, and I show the same respect back. Pay homage, at the end of the day a lot of things go on behind the scenes that people don't know about. It will be aired out, because you can't hide the truth."
Feuds in hip-hop, of course, are as old as the genre itself. Yet many of the classic lyrical battles -- Common vs. Ice Cube, Kool Moe Dee vs. LL Cool J -- seemed less focused on commerce and more about actual respect and lyrical superiority. In this post-Biggie/Tupac era, rap beefs feel like just another line item on a record label's publicity plan. You can argue that in terms of sales, Kanye West won the 50 Cent/Kanye West "beef" in 2007, when 50's 'Curtis' was released the same day as Kanye's 'Graduation.' The real winner: the shareholders of Universal Music Group, parent company of both artists.
Paradoxically, though, this latest act of desperation that is the Minaj beef may be exactly what Kim needs to regain her reputation in hip-hop (though the queen title is probably gone for good). Her debut album, 1996's 'Hard Core,' went double platinum and established her as the Queen of Hip-Hop. But since then, the rapper has released three albums to varying degrees of success, with 2005's 'The Naked Truth' barely making a dent in the genre. (A year in jail on perjury charges in 2005 didn't help.)
On 'Black Friday,' the rapper sounds rejuvenated, delivering a four-minute, near-continuous riposte filled with renewed energy and clever one-liners ("You and Diddy, sorry bunch of swagger jackers/I mothered you hoes, I should claim you on my income tax"). In the video, Kim is seen stomping on a brightly colored wig favored by Minaj. The video ends with a quote from Michael Jackson (via Herman Melville), saying, "It's better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation ... period."
Hip-hop is not 'Highlander.' There can be more than one female emcee rhyming at the same time. But Lil Kim vs. Nicki Minaj is far from the Jay-Z/Nas 'King of New York' battle of 2001, in which the two hip-hop titans both solidified their already dominant positions in the genre. The more shots that get fired Nicki's way, the more desperate and sad Lil' Kim looks to get back to her position circa 1996.
As the once-beloved actress Margo Channing spirals down into obsolescence in 'All About Eve,' she tells her friend, "And what is [Margo], besides something called a temperament, which consists mostly of swooping about on a broomstick and screaming at the top of my voice? Infants behave the way I do, you know. They carry on and misbehave ... when they can't have what they want, when they feel unwanted or insecure or unloved."
You're welcome, Kim.

Little Kim is and will always be THE ORIGINAL! Minaj stole her style. And Minaj doesn't hold a candle to Lil Kim's lyrical skills!! Minaj sucks, in my opinion. She pretty much talks on top of a beat, where Kim has talent and has always been original!

Where the hell have you been?

She needs to check her own BS at the door since KIM STOLE HER LOOK FROM EVERYONE! You're not original,a t least Nicki brings something different to the game other than talking about your clitoris & licks & riding sticks & swallowing. Tri-full-ling!! Done, give it up! Oh and BTW, she did pay homage, to the rightful MCs who STARTED the female rap game in the first place by saying her idols are Queen Latifah and Mc Lyte and Salt n Pepa. You know, the REAL ORIGINALS! Dumb, she's just dumb. Kim, you're too old for that BS, act like a woman already.

Ceasefire breach committed by Armenian side again
05 June 2014 [12:13] -
The ceasefire on the Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line was broken 45 times last night, the Azerbaijani defense ministry said on June 5.
At the same time, the Azerbaijani positions took fire from the positions located in the villages of Goradiz, Qarakhanbayli, Ashagi Seyidahmadli of the Fizuli region, Yusifjanli, Merzili, Bash Garvand, Shuraabad of the Aghdam region, Kuropatkino of the Khojavend region, Mehdili of Jabrail region and the nameless heights of Goranboy region.
The opposing side was silenced with return fire.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.

Ice Hockey: Cardiff are confident: Benson and Hedges Cup final
Saturday 04 December 1993
For one player, loyalty will be torn. Paul Heavey, captain of the Devils, used to be a Racers stalwart. He is aware of the danger that the brothers and his ex-team mates, Paul and Tony Hand, pose in defence and attack respectively. 'But we've got Ian Cooper back on defence after being injured in a pre-season friendly and that will give us an edge,' he said. 'It will be a low-scoring game with the margin no more than two goals. It will be a game where defence is crucial with both sides looking for the odd break.'
This is the first meeting between Racers and Devils this season. Both lost just once in the Cup on their way to the final and are currently tied on League points. Racers will certainly want to do well if only to forget the embarrassment of the last meeting between the two sides.
In the Heineken championship semi-final at Wembley in April, Devils beat Racers 9-0 and went on to add the championship to the inaugural Benson and Hedges Cup and League title. History looks to be on Cardiff's side: they have won seven of the last 10 matches between the two sides.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Enjoy Manitoba the way it's meant to be
On Tuesday, voters in Denver, Durango and Boulder decided it's OK to get Colorado high. Then the state decided to send Manitoba a Colorado Low.
If all goes according to meteorological plan, you should be able to look outside your window today and see copious quantities of snow, a substance once considered commonplace in southern Manitoba.
After the winter of 2011-2012, when the rivers barely froze and the snow barely fell, it's almost as if someone legislated against the white stuff north of the border.
Last winter may have been the worst in recent memory for cross-country skiing, thanks to a snowcover window that lasted barely more than two months.
After that non-winter, the return of snow is more than welcome in Winnipeg, where a huge part of our collective identity is derived from our relationship with the precipitation that piles up along our sidewalks, turns our back lanes into rutted Mattel tracks and covers up the leaves we didn't rake in October.
Without snow, Winnipeg is just another North American city with no leaves on the trees in January. Without snow, southern Manitoba is just an enormous expanse of frozen canola stubble, punctuated by a couple of gas bars and Chicken Chefs.
To celebrate the return of the billowy, white blanket of snow that beautifies this province, go out and enjoy an early-winter Manitoba the way it's supposed to be -- covered in snow.
The big dump expected today should mean good conditions by Sunday, although it's unrealistic to expect grooming to take place overnight. But there should be some tracks inside the city at Windsor Park Nordic Centre and just outside Winnipeg at Beaudry Provincial Park and Birds Hill Provincial Park, thanks to eager-beaver skiers who are probably camped outside, shovelling snow on the trails as you read this.
Further away from Winnipeg, the Shannondale trail system northwest of Morden is among the first in southern Manitoba to be groomed, thanks to efforts of ski fanatic David Lumgair. This privately owned Pembina Valley trail network has 16 kilometres of classic trails and seven kilometres of skate-ski trails on private land.
There's no guarantee Shannondale will be ready Sunday, but the absence of river crossings make this one of the safer early-season bets. To to get there from Winnipeg, take Highway 3 southwest to Morden and continue west to gravel Road 34 West, also known as the Thornhill turnoff. Turn right and drive 2.6 kilometres north. Turn left at Lumgair Seeds, a farm property with red barns.
This is the last set of structures on the left before the road dips into a river valley -- If you descend into the valley, you've gone too far. If you go, make sure to place a trail-maintenance donation in the dropbox at the trailhead.
Also within an hour of Winnipeg -- and devoid of river crossings -- the Bittersweet Trails sit on the northern slope of the Assiniboine River Valley southwest of Portage la Prairie.
This 21-kilometre, intermediate-level trail system features mostly one-way routes, with several hills and a good views of the valley to the south. There are also 12 kilometres of skate-ski trails, which won't be ready this early in the season.
From Winnipeg, take the Trans-Canada Highway west and continue past Portage la Prairie to Bagot. Turn south at Provincial Road 242 and continue going south until you begin descending the Assiniboine River Valley. The eastern trailhead and parking lot will be on your right, before the river. If you cross the river, you've gone too far. Again, use the dropbox for donations at the trailhead.
As well, all but one of the trails at Grand Beach Provincial Park is free of water crossings. This 16-kilometre system of forest and meadow trails are slightly less picturesque, but there is one glorious climb northeast of the trailhead.
From Winnipeg, take Highway 59 north and remain on it after it merges with Highway 12. Head west on Highway 12 when it diverges from Highway 50 and then exit to your right at East Beach entrance to Grand Beach. After you pass through the park entrance gate, the road to the trailhead is on the right.
For more ski-trail options, the Cross Country Ski Association of Manitoba maintains a great resource at http://ccsam.ca/

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley appears every second Wednesday on Citytv's Breakfast Television. His work has also appeared on CBC Radio and in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

Leanna Broderick: The Face of Britain's Decline
Even as once great Britain's eyes go dim, life is still good for the freeloaders who are bleeding it to death:
While many families are worrying about how to afford Christmas this year, one jobless single mother has revealed she receives so much in benefits she has :£2,000 to spend on designer gifts, clothes and partying.
Mother-of-two Leanna Broderick plans to buy 20 presents for each of her children, including Burberry and Ralph Lauren outfits, iPads and gold jewellery.
The 20-year-old, who has never worked, claims nearly :£15,500 a year in state handouts.
Why would she work?
She claims she is better off on benefits and would not get a job unless she could continue her luxury lifestyle, which includes designer outfits, holidays abroad, clubbing, lunches out and expensive gifts for her daughters Zelekah, two, and Zakirah, one. …
She said there was 'no point' earning less in a minimum wage job and having to pay for childcare on top.
Leanna qualified for her cushy position by dropping out of school at 16 and becoming pregnant at 17, while taking advantage of government incentives to shun employment and marriage. Her plans for the future:
"I'll stay on benefits and get as much as I can out of it."
What other outcome could anyone possibly expect of liberal welfare policies?

Seth Wenig, Associated Press
BEIRUT — Syria's deputy prime minister on Thursday floated Nov. 23-24 as possible dates for talks on a political solution to the Syrian conflict, though there's no agreement on the ground rules for such negotiations and the main Western-backed opposition hasn't decided whether to attend.
The United States and Russia have been trying to bring the Damascus government and Syria's divided opposition to negotiations in Geneva for months, but the meeting has been repeatedly delayed. It remains unclear if either side is really willing to negotiate while Syria's civil war, now in its third year, remains deadlocked.
Meanwhile, the international agency overseeing the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons stockpile said that inspectors have so far found no "weaponized" chemical munitions, or shells ready to deliver poison gas or nerve agents, and that Syria's declarations up to now have matched what inspectors found.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the United Nations are working to verify Syria's initial declaration of its weapons program and render production and chemical mixing facilities inoperable by Nov. 1. Their work on the ground involves smashing control panels on machines and destroying empty munitions.
The team has visited 11 of more than 20 sites since Oct. 1 and carried out destruction work at six. "Cheap, quick and low-tech. Nothing fancy," OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan said of the work.
In the next phase, the work gets more complex and dangerous when actual chemical weapons have to be destroyed — in the midst of full-blown war. Negotiations are still underway as to how and where that will happen.
Renewed efforts to organize political talks between the Syrian regime and the opposition stem from the U.N. Security Council resolution passed last month to rid Syria of its chemical weapons program.
The resolution also endorsed a framework for a political transition that key countries adopted last year and called for an international conference in Geneva to be convened "as soon as possible" to implement it.
Qadri Jamil, the Syrian deputy prime minister, said Thursday that "we are closer than ever" to talks in Geneva. "In our contact with the (Russian) Foreign Ministry, we were informed about the approximate and hypothetical dates for holding it," he said.
Russia's RIA Novosti news agency quoted him as saying "the conference will be held on the 23rd and 24th of November."
Alexander Lukashevich, a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, would not confirm or deny that the dates were being considered.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Wednesday that efforts are intensifying to try to hold the Geneva meeting in mid-November. Ban did not provide specific dates, and it's not clear whether the schedule provided by Jamil has been agreed to by any other parties.
The talks have been put off repeatedly, in part because of fundamental disagreements over the fate of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The Western-backed Syrian National Coalition, the main alliance of political opposition groups, has said it will only negotiate if it is agreed from the start that Assad will leave power at the end of a transition period. Many rebel fighters inside Syria flatly reject negotiating with Assad's regime
The regime has rejected such a demand, saying Assad will stay at least until the end of his term in mid-2014, and he will decide then whether to seek re-election. The regime has said it refuses to negotiate with the armed opposition.
Syria's revolt began in March 2011 with largely peaceful protests against the Assad regime before eventually turning into a civil war. The conflict has killed more than 100,000 people, forced more than 2 million to flee the country and left some 4.5 million others displaced within the country.

Bulgaria to Replace Management of Embattled Research Fund
The Bulgarian Education Ministry has already prepared new rules for the work of the country's embattled Scientific Research Fund and its management would be replaced.
Speaking for bTV, Education Minister, Sergey Ignatov, informed Friday that the rules will become effective by March 2013.
He further confirmed he will appear for a hearing before the Parliamentary Education Committee along with the current management of the Fund.
Earlier, President Rosen Plevneliev stated that Ignatov owes explanations to the MPs about the scandal.
"It is good to believe both in God and the rule of law. I have never pressured the Fund to give grants to New Bulgarian University, NBU. The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, BAS, has received 40 grants, the Sofia University – 10 and NBU -6," said he in a reply to a question from the host whom the media and society should believe – one minister or 1 200 researchers.
Ignatov, however, failed to explain how many companies have registered their business just days before becoming winning bidders.
He backed once again the Chairman of the Executive Board of the Fund, Rangel Gyurov, who is accused of being appointed illegally at the post without having the required habilitation, explaining Guyrov had been a "visiting professor" at NBU before Ignatov was its President.
The Minister blasted Bulgarian researchers, who staged a protest rally Wednesday against what they see as illegal siphoning of the scarce money for science from the Fund, for them saying the rally would not be peaceful. He compared this with a recent statement of the leader of the left-wing Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, of the Party of European Socialists, PES, and former Prime Minister of Bulgaria, Sergey Stanishev, who stressed politicians who have lost the trust of the people should leave, and if they refuse to do it peacefully and in a democratic manner, there were "other ways."
Ignatov called on researchers to read the reviews for the projects that applied for financing in 2012 and file objections if they see a need to do so. The reviews will be available from January 10 to 20, 2013 from the Fund's archives, he reminded.

It's not Romney's choice to choose weather a woman can have an abortion. It's the woman's choice. A lot of women or impacted by being sexually harassed and being raped. It Prochoice and It's the parents decision weather their ready to be pregnant and go through labor! Also if the probability of actually getting pregnant from a rape is 1 person for every 133,000 rapes( which I doubt is a correct statistic) That's still A LOT of people that get pregnant/affected from being raped.

I think Reading Rainbow is a very important show. It really helped me like reading, and the man who was on it was very kind and wholesome. He met my brother when he was young and was very nice and supportive of him and his individuality. I look up to him and the shows on PBS, for they have helped me learn and grow. Of course, I'm just a 15-year-old girl, and I understand if certain cuts need to be made, whether I like or understand them of not.

@DEEDLES1621 Do you know how hard it can be to let go of a baby you just gave birth to? Adoption is a really hard and long process. And a girl that is pregnant wasn't necesaraly "knocked up". Birth control can fail.
by txtingirl on 10/8/2012 8:41:45 AM
i honestly think people are making WAY to big of a deal out of this. i mean people its big bird for crying out loud! romney was just joking around about an oversized duck!

txtingirl-Oh, I wasn't offended and I hope you weren't either ! I see. Well, I don't really agree but that doesn't mean I'm calling you wrong. We're all entitled to our own options and yours and mine are just different :3
by iluvmusic♥ on 10/7/2012 11:57:44 PM
@Lioncub190 and @rosesong:
financial problems really? then u put the baby up for ADOPTION!do u even kno how an abortion works? Its ridiculous the fact tht it comes out of the American peoples taxes to pay to abort a baby cause a girl got knocked up and dont want to deal with the consequences. and the probability of actually getting pregnant from a rape is 1 person for every 133,000 rapes. And @fungirl123 has it right on the money. Get ur facts right.

My daughter wanted a jacket which she can wear in different occasions, not too classic and most important – comfortable.
After a great search I found this really pretty pattern in "Burda Style" (11/2010) .
This jacket has a great fit and nice cuts. My daughter claims it is the most comfortable jacked she has ever owned. And the buttonhole pockets with flaps are really handy, too. Not the most easy pattern, I must say, I wouldn't suggest it to the beginners…
I used good quality tweed fabric which I bought in Latvia. Lining inside and it's ready to be worn :)
Tweed fabric, lining.

The jacket is soooo beautiful… How I wish for such a jacket… The detailing is incredible.

"location starts at the beginning of the history"
it was nice hotel to stay. person at the reception was nice with smiling face.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good location and very nice staff"
We spent a week at the hotel and we could not have been happier. The location is central but in a quiet street. Shops, bars and restaurants are all close by and there is plenty to choose from. The hotel's restaurant offers excellent Greek food as well. The hotel manager (Stathis) is very friendly and gave us perfect suggestions to visit the island and […] get away from very touristy places. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location and value for money!"
I am an older single,treating myself to Rhodes for a special birthday. Have stayed in Best Western in USA; they offer clean, well-equipped apartments with no frills, for a competitive price. Wanted to be very near to Rhodes Old Town, be able to walk, go on sea trips,swim in clean sea. Manager was very kind and helpful. I was on the 5th floor, breezes, […] no traffic noise. Good lift, safe in the room and I felt very secure. All equipment was new, sheets, towels, shower and toilet good. Loads of nice cafes and restaurants near, 10 minutes walking to Old Town and Quay. Very good value for money. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Superb location"
Very clean apartments but the only pictures available online are from it's last refurbishment. Don't expect many facilities for self catering, we had 1 teaspoon, no bowls and 2 small plates and glasses. We bought some tall glasses and left them in the cupboard. Door to concealed fridge was hanging on by 2 screws making it awkward to get in the fridge. Beds […] and sofa very tired and not very comfortable and really need replacing.

"Prisvärt och utmärkt läge"
Ett enkelt men mycket trevligt lägenhetshotell som ligger på en lugn gata mycket nära Elli Beach. Rummet var något slitet, men sängarna var bekväma och utsikten helt fantastiskt. Det finns gott om bra restauranger i närområdet, och på lagom promenadavstånd till gamla staden. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka igen!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Vacanze stupende al Rodian Gallery"
L hotel è a due passi dal mare, le camere hanno un arredamento nuovo di zecca! Angolo cottura e climatizzatori compresi! Vicino all hotel troverete tutto il necessario...le camere erano sempre pulitissime ed il personale di una gentilezza infinita! Consigliatissimo...Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hôtel agréable et Emplacement idéal"
Séjour sans souci avec Personnel très sympathique . Bon point aussi pour le Restaurant en bas de l'hôtel .Genuine Expedia guest review
"Vacance réussite"
Nous avons pris le Rodian gallery pour notre séjour a Rhodes pour 17 nuits. Les appartements sont spatiaux, propres. Cependant il manque quelques trucs dans la cuisine comme un presse agrume et des casseroles. Le reste est juste nickel. Nous pensons i retourner l'année prochaines pour 3 semaines.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hôtel très bien situé"
Situé à proximité de la plage, près du centre ville et de la ville ville. Personnel accueillant. Nous avions tout à proximité et à la fois un peu éloigné des rues bordées de café, tavernes, donc au calme.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent location"
The apartments were very clean and they looked like brand new! Good beds and pillows, standard cutlery etc. for 4 person in kitchen. Nearby is many restaurants which are offering breakfast. Safety in the room and aircon in livingroom & bedroom. There is a wifi in the apartments and also a computer to use for guests on the 1st floor. The location is […] great in the city center of Rodos but in a small side-street just few minutes of walking to restaurants, shopping and beach. The owner is very helpfull and fiendly. The reception is not open 24 h but there is a phone number if help is needed during outside service hours. Overall excellent option in Rodos! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beliggenhet og service med klasse over"
2 stykker overnattet fra onsdag til søndag. Fantastisk god service på hotellet og på den tilliggende restauranten. Store rom, kjøkkenutstyr for 2 personer, men nok til et kort opphold. Stor flatskjerm på stue, nytt baderom, Meget gode, harde madrasser, ikke av den bløte typen der du blir liggende i midten. Gang avstand til ferger - minicruisehavnen, […] til den fantastiske gamlebyen, til stranden på begge sider av Rodes by. Mange gode restauranter like i nærheten, Rodos Cassino like ved siden av. Sentralt, men likevel ikke støyende på kveld, natt og morgen. Fast pris, meget overkommelige, på taxier, priser etter hvor du skal. Lokalbuss ikke så langt unna.

"A due passi dal mare..."
e a 10 minuti dal centro storico! posizione perfetta per chi vuole una vacanza di tutto relax! l'abergo è pulito, con angolo cottura, frigorifero, bagno in camera. Il personale è molto cordiale e gentile. Siamo stati 10 giorni, ad agosto, in questo albergo e ci siamo trovati benissimo! Il mare, davvero a 200 m dall'albergo, è meraviglioso, pulitissimo, […] con spiagge attrezzate, ma economiche. Per visitare il resto dell'isola consiglio di noleggiare un'auto, ma per raggiungere il centro storico (Rodi vecchia) ci vogliono massimo 15 minuti a piedi. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"high value hotel"
11/09/14 Kostas S Rhodes, Greece
for the second time this year , we had booked a long weekend at Rodian Gallery hotel. The hotel maintains it's high standards of service in spite of the fact that we are approaching the end of the season and soon the hotel will be closing. Stathis, the manager did their best to facilitate our stay and with the help of the weather we enjoyed a fantastic stay in Rhodos.

"The best place to stay in Rhodes city"
10/29/14 Øyvind E Lørenskog, Akershus, Norway
For us this is with no doubt the best place to stay in Rhodes city. The location is centrally situated, quiet and very close to Elli beach. The appartments are spacious and the cleaning is excellent. One of the most outstanding things with this hotel is Mr. Stathis, the hotel manager! If you have a problem he will take care of it right away. Whenever you have a question or need something he will be there to help you. If you can find a more kind and polite person anywhere in Rhodes please let me know :-) I will also like to give credit to the restaurant Volcano in the same building which offer great service. This is a traditionally greek family driven restaurant with a very nice atmosphere offering great greek dishes and Meze`s. If there is something you would like which is not on their big menu just let them know a day before and they will have it for you the next day. There is absolutely no way you can go wrong if you choose to stay at this appartment hotel Olaf Oslo, Norway

"More space than you pay for"
10/11/14 Micetta Lugano, Switzerland
My husband and I stayed at Rhodes during the first 10 days of October 2014. The Rodian Gallery Best Western is an excellent choice if you want space and possibility to cook a meal. You will find all the necessary equipment and if something is missing, just ask and they will get it for you. If you are for beach life, you will find it within 3 minutes walk. It is not difficult to find the hotel if you have a map and at least when we were there, we always found parking close by. It is very good value for what you get! There is a small Supermarket just in front and a restaurant on the ground floor. If you are afraid of not finding the hotel, just send me a Private Message and I will explain it.

"Amazing Value Money With Lovely Staff "
10/04/14 ivatt8888 London, United Kingdom
Stayed at this hotel with my girlfriend late September - early October. I honestly don't think you're going to get more for your money in the area. Big, clean rooms with a balcony, great location, a lovely restaurant underneath and just a stones throw from all the amenities you'd need (supermarket and car rental). The main reason I would recommend staying here however is definitely the staff-extremely friendly and inviting. Would definitely stay here again. Could not recommend more. On a side note, be wary when getting your airport transfer. Our coach confused this best western with another, and we got dropped 10 minutes away from the hotel at midnight on our first day. Not the hotels fault in any way as we booked the transfer privately. But make sure your coach driver drops you at the correct best western.

"Rodian Gallery Hotel Apartments centrally located to most things !!"
10/01/14 Mona G Bergen, Norway
Since I was very satisfied last time I stayed at the Rodian Gallery , it was only natural for me to choose this hotel apartments again when I was there this September. I went with 4 other friends. It was the first time they stayed at the Rodian Gallery, and they were also very happy to stay there. Again I was met by a welcoming hotel manager. Fine, large clean Apartments, and an incredibly pleasant atmosphere in this place. Besides the well equipped apartment, good beds, professional and friendly service, there is also free WIFI with very good Internet access. This apartment hotel is very central to all the attractions in Rhodos city. Get the hotel manager Stathis to recommend you restaurants with fine Greek food, and he will come up with the best recommendations! If I have to mention one negative experience I had at this hotel apartments, it was a mosquito that came into my room one night and flying around my head, and that is not much to complain about!!!! If you want to stay good with great space and nice atmosphere, select Rodian Gallery Hotel Apartments!! If I travel to Rhodes again I will definitely stay here again!

"Rodian Gallery Hotel Apartments"
09/27/14 tassh Darwin, Australia
Great choice for location in the city center. Had a mini market across the road with all basic necessities. All staff were friendly and helpful. Apartment was big enough for 2 people with all basic amenities. Walking distance to the city beaches and restaurants. Was extremely hard to locate as road signs are non existent. Would recommend getting a taxi to the hotel and then hiring a car if you want one. Otherwise you'll be driving around in circles for hours trying to find it. The only downside was the sewerage smell coming from the bathroom drain. This was constant and off putting. All in all a great apartment hotel in the city center.

"Exellent apartment hotel in Rhodes!!!"
07/04/14 Anders S Western Finland, Finland
Exellent location close to everything in a street with very little traffic. We stayed in a spacious 3 room apartment, which was very bright and well planned. The hotel is located close to the beach and opposite to a super market with very friendly staff. On base floor is a restaurant with exellent service. The hotel manager, Stathis, is superb and taking very good care of his guests! Efficient cleaning staff cleaned the apartment very well every day. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Air condition in both bedrooms and well functioning Wi-Fi for free! We had a lovely vacation and will come back. We would definitely recommend this apartment hotel!

"A terrific place to stay!"
06/07/14 HappytrailsTucsonAZ Tucson AZ
A terrific place to stay! The Rodian Gallery apartments are large, spacious units located across the street from the Rodos Casino; an ideal location for restaurants and walking to old town. The manager/owner is truly superb. Nothing is too much trouble for him. He helped us on the phone with a ferry ticket problem, and allowed us to use his computer to print out a confirmation receipt. When we asked him about renting a car, he picked up the telephone and quite literally, a young man walked in the door in less than five minutes to take us to our car! Our unit – a one-bedroom – was very large and spacious, with sliding doors leading to our balcony from both the living room and bedroom. It was simply furnished – it was not luxurious, but the kitchen was equipped for two people, the couch in the living room was very comfortable, and we really lacked for nothing! WiFi service (in room) was excellent. The bathroom was bright and well-equipped, and the only issue there is the size of the shower – miniscule, to say the least, but the water was hot and plentiful. We very much enjoyed our stay at Rodian Gallery, and will definitely return here the next time we visit Rodos!

"The best apartment hotel in Rhodes I've stayed in so far!"
06/05/14 Mona G Bergen, Norway
I've stayed at some different hotels in Rhodes last year. In May, I decided to try Rodian Gallery appartment hotel. The choice I have not regretted. The apartment was spacious and well equipped. I slept like a baby in the wonderful good bed! The apartment also had veranda with large space. Nice cleaning staff who cleaned every day. Rodian Gallery is located in a quiet street without much traffic and noise. It is very centrally located and close to most, within walking distance to the newer part of town and the old town. Elly beach is 2 min. walk away, and there are plenty of dining restaurants close by. I have to mention the incredible friendly and helpful hotel manager Stathis! He is so welcoming, accessible at all times. Ask him for advice and guidance, and he comes up with the best! One thing is certain, I will be back! Really recommend this apartment hotel!
