Stayed here for a week at the beginning of September. The rooms and hotel overall were spotless and all staff very helpful. They had a storm a couple of weeks before we arrived which had damaged some of the beds and parasols but they arranged it so that we could use the pool area at the Cleopatra Superior across the road. The only downside is that they do not have any safes/security boxes and they ask you to leave your key in a pot on a bookshelf in reception. Needless to say we always took our key with us; its not that we didn't feel safe but your key has your room number on it and if it is in the pot then clearly your room is empty and with no safe. Location is great as in a quieter part of the village but a short stroll to the beach and bars, restaurants etc.

Stayed here on the 9th September for one week and after reading the latest reviews were very sceptical about staying here but we needn't have worried. The hotel is in a great location as it is just outside the town and the rooms and staff were great. We received a warm welcome and our room was upgraded to a bigger apartment. The breakfast was very basic and could have done with more variety or changes every now and again but we knew this would probably be the case so it did not detract from our holiday. The hotel has a lot of character probably because it is a little old fashioned but we prefer it this way and wouldn't hesitate to stop here again. We had no problems with running water as previous reviews had mentioned and the pool looked to be very clean although to be fair we tended to walk down to the beach most days. All in all for the price we paid we were very happy with this accommodation and thank you to all the staff who made us feel very welcome.

“Nice staff but no pool”

Was sold this holiday with the hope of being able to use the small pool. The water was brown, clearly hadn't been in use for a long time. Key has to go in a pot at reception and no safe. Got told to use the neighbouring pool for free but it is in use for anyone anyway. Had to pay to extend my r… more

Was sold this holiday with the hope of being able to use the small pool. The water was brown, clearly hadn't been in use for a long time. Key has to go in a pot at reception and no safe. Got told to use the neighbouring pool for free but it is in use for anyone anyway. Had to pay to extend my room hours for a couple hours which would normally be fine if I had full use of facilities which I paid for but I didn't. Friendly staff especially at night. Clean rooms and breakfast offers but did not try this.

“LITTLE HOTEL IN A GREAT LOCATION”

Stayed here for a week at the beginning of August. We were in one of the studio rooms on the first floor.

Stayed here for a week at the beginning of August. We were in one of the studio rooms on the first floor. When we arrived, it was roasting hot at 2am in the morning and the room we were given had broken air conditioning; however the manager moved us the following day without any fuss. The rooms are clean and the maid is in every day except Sunday. The downside is there are no safes/security boxes and they ask you to leave your key in a pot on a bookshelf in reception. We chose to ignore this and kept the key with us. There are two sizes of rooms and the one bedroom apartments looked to be of a better standard than the studios. . Hot water is an issue; solar heating requires good timing to be able to get hot water and its best to shower early in the evening to guarantee it will be hot. Cooking is done by 2 electric rings, which is quite common in this part of the world; my room also had fridge, kettle and a TV. All rooms have air conditioning for an additional fee of 40 euros per week. Location is perfect in a quieter part of the village but only minutes to the beach, bars and restaurants. The pool looked a bid dirty when we were there, and the water was a strange green colour. Not many people using the pool beds or the pool itself. We used the beach every day at the quiet end of the resort away from the clubbers which was fine. Sunbeds on the beach are 5 euros for 2 beds and 1 umbrella. Breakfast was very basic continental breakfast which was adequate. You can bring some of your own breakfast food to supplement what is on offer. We bought our own yogurts and the staff do not mind you doing this. Eating area is huge, with tables inside and out. Reception is nice but unusual, additional toilets/shower are down stairs and clean. There is a seating area with sofas and tv. There is also a sun lounge out front with padded wicker furniture that almost runs the width of the hotel. There is free Wi-Fi in the reception but you have to pay if you want Wi-Fi in your room as it is supplied by another company and expensive. Lots of cats around the resort, but my wife loves cats and this was not a problem to us. Hotel has cats and kittens in the grounds which like some titbits from you if you are that way inclined. All in all, we had a great stay in Kos and would use this hotel again as it was good value for money, clean and in a great location. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
