Lovely staff, centrally located. It's rather tired and facilities limited (no kettle for example, thin walls) but value for money. I would stay again.

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.
