This little hotel, only 15 minutes walk from the beach, is in a quiet neighbourhood. The hotel staff were kind, friendly and helpful, demonstrating that sense of Greek hospitality to be found in such lovely places!! Breakfast was a delicious and abundant assortment of fresh vegetables and the most wonderful cheeses and pastries!! The air conditioning worked brilliantly and the bed and pillows were especially delightful after a busy day of travelling!!

Had a great 2 night stay here before island hopping. It's a bit old fashioned in the roombut very clean, large comfy beds and a good shower with plenty of hot water. Soap, shampoo and shower gel and a hairdryer provided. In a quiet area but very central. Less than 15 mins walk to the port shops, restaurants and historic sights very close by. Breakfast simple but fresh and tasty and good coffee. I wouldn't pay 9 eur each but we got a deal when booking. I'd dtay again, friendly staff.

This is a lovely hotel. Perfect for a stop-over for the port or airport. The staff were welcoming & friendly, the bed was comfy & the room was clean, with a nice view from the small balcony. The breakfast was delicious. Great value for money, too. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

A good town hotel

A very clean town hotel, overlooking other hotel rooms as we had a room at the back (20) A good shower and comfy bed. The staff were very friendly, at reception and at breakfast. The breakfast was plentiful. Definitely recommend. We only stayed 1 night, if were were there longer a room on the front would have been better.

I felt at home. The hotel was clean, had a traditional style with a calm atmosphere. The highlight was the location in the town of Kos. Staff were all so friendly, welcoming and glad to help. This was my first time in Kos, and this would be my first choice for accommodation for any future trips.

Hotel is in an excellent location close to restaurants, bars, shops, the old town and port. It’s a little dated and in need of some modernisation. Rooms are small and bathroom tiny but spotlessly clean and perfectly functional. Rooms are serviced every day with fresh towels and plenty of liquid soap and body wash provided. 24 hour reception with friendly helpful staff.

Would consider staying again

Staff friendly and helpful. Only 10 minute walk to harbour. Bed and bathroom clean and comfortable, but room smelt a bit fusty and floor was gritty/dusty. No lift, so had to carry case up two floors. Suited us for a cheap one night stay before catching ferry and night before flight. Overall, hotel was in need of updating.
