Where to stay in Symi

Amazing views over the bay. Clean. Well positioned in Symi town to remain peaceful but close to the action. All the basic hotel essentials needed for a mini break.

Food was ok, service was ok, toilet not quite as ok. Didn't stop here so can't comment on accommodation.

Fantastic personnel and amazing view!! Very friendly and forthcoming - and with a great ambience. Don't forget to enjoy a nightcap on the private pier before bedtime 🍸

We visited Symi in June 2025 as part of a Jet2 package, which meant spending the first night in Rhodes before taking the ferry to Symi the following day. The island itself is stunning, but Pedi Beach is quite basic. Our room overlooked a driveway to the car park and a derelict patch of land, and the “side sea view” was mostly blocked by a bougainvillea plant. The room was clean enough but very minimal...

Lovely impromptu stay A last minute decision for an overnight on Symi and Pedi beach hotel did not disappoint. Although the hotel was full the staff were friendly, engaging and incredibly helpful. Although not glamorous, we swam off the beach in front of the hotel and were able to walk to two other less "towny" beaches. Breakfast buffet was varied and extensive. Would recommend this hotel and...

A lovely little family hotel on the waterfront. Staff were genuinely friendly and professional. It was an appropriate hotel to accommodate the Titan /Saga Greek island medley tour party. It was quiet, situated in an interesting location with easy short walks immediately from the door and a regular bus service into the higher town and port. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfasts...

This was our 11th year at Pedi Beach Hotel, need we say more? well yes. We have seen many changes at the hotel from the rustic blue and white it once was to the more modern hotel it is now, however still retaining it's Greek charm, beautiful. As amazing as it is, the staff are the reason we return year after year, also where the hotel is situated, breath taking. It was Marco's second year and he had...

Beautiful hotel. Rooms are spotless as is all of the hotel. Great sea views. Towels white and fluffy. Breakfast really good.

Lovely little Greek hotel in a beautiful spot in Pedi Bay. Small and friendly, excellent staff, all seem happy to be there. Our room 110 had a small side view of the sea in the distance. We were unable to upgrade to sea view as the hotel was full. A sea view would have been great. Meals were nice quality, small selection but hot and tasty. They had Lurpak butter, which was great! The waiting staff...

Where do you start? Second time staying at this lovely place. Esmeralda is such a lovely lady and should be rightly proud of her hotel. Beautiful room overlooking the rooftop bar. The pool area is lovely. There is nothing that I didn’t like. Hopefully we will return to Symi in a few years time and we will definitely stay at the Opera House 🥂

Fantastic location, set back from the Harbour but just a few minutes walk, where you can get water taxis to all the main beaches and where there are lots of shops and tavernas.

We eagerly awaited our return to Opera House after 4 years and we weren’t disappointed we were greeted warmly by our host and owner Esmeralda and the two Anna’s on reception it was as if we’d never been away and we were very appreciative that both couples were given an upgraded suite with large spacious rooms. The hotel remains the same apart from the addition of a beautiful pool and spa complex with...

Amazing hotel, large comfy beds in a superb location, staff were so friendly too. Their pool is also lovely. 10/10 hotel, no faults at all. I highly recommend this hotel.

Our stay at the Opera House Hotel was outstanding from start to finish. The location is perfect – central and convenient, yet quiet enough to truly relax. It made exploring the area effortless, with everything we needed just a short walk away. The staff were wonderful – warm, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their genuine hospitality made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere...

Magical Stay in Symi! The hotel was wonderful – spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and with stunning views. The location was perfect: close to everything, yet peaceful and quiet. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel truly at home❤️ An experience we’ll never forget. Highly recommended!✨

Stayed for 6 nights and we loved our stay. The hotel is in a perfect location 2 minutes from the harbour, restaurants and taxi boats. Carlo and Daniel go above and beyond with your stay and recommend all the great things to do on the island. Breakfast is delicious. Rooms are made every day. Definitely stay here.

This hotel has a European aesthetic while blending in perfectly with the character of the island. We enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend it for anyone visiting Symi. It is also in close proximity to the port. Great experience!

If character is what you care after this is hotel for you.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel, with tastefully and meticulously decorated suites overlooking breath-taking views. Fabulous team led by the lovely Frances and Andrew, who made us feel so welcome and provided everything we could want, including mouth-watering dishes, beautifully presented. Cannot recommend the Old Markets enough.

Wonderful hotel, great location withsuperb views of symi harbour, very nice rooms, great breakfast and superb staff

The old markets is a fabulous place to stay in symi I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a beautiful place to stay great service very friendly staff and the owner Andy makes you very welcome will definitely be back

Great location and found the room to be nice authentically decorated and very comfortable bed. The air con kept the room to a nice cool temperature during the night. Contact with the owner was very good and he was always at hand to help as much as he could. Stunning patio area outside to sit out at as we had an attic room. Would highly recommend this accommodation and we will definatly return

Clean and basic rooms, near all shops bars etc,friendly host, housekeeping daily.

Fantastic gem of a place! The lovely host (Nikos?) met us off the ferry and walked us to the property, he gave us some great tips about where to visit in the area. The apartments are situated in a brilliant location but would’ve proved difficult to locate ourselves. A few minutes walk from the harbour. Comfy bed, plenty of storage, free air con, fridge, decent shower and terrace at a bargain price...

Booked the Symi center rooms away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby quayside. Rooms are very clean if a bit dated, but perfect for a short stay. AC was indeed a blessing. The room we had was decorated with a strange nautical theme. All in all we would definitely use this place again

This is a nice and cosy place to stay in Symi. It is located at the centre of Symi town. The room was very clean and the owner was extremely polite and very professional (a combination that you can't find easily nowadays).

Met off the ferry and guided the short distance to the Symi centre. More rooms than a hotel, but wonderful location just behind the harbour, minutes from restaurants, bars, supermarkets, shops and bakery. Simple room with air conditioning, kettle, fridge and bathroom. Small terrace outside, ideal for your coffee and pastry breakfast. Great value. Highly recommended!

Stayed at the hotel for 7 days and the accomodation was in a perfect location. Basic accomodation, which met our needs. Friendly and welcoming staff. Food and a selection of beverages available from 9am till 3pm and would definitely stay there again. No complaints at all and recommend for those who want the choice of self catering and half board.

had a fantastic experience staying at Anastasia Hotel! The place is spotless, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The owners are truly lovely people — always available and ready to assist with anything you might need. The room was cozy, well-equipped, and just like the photos online, which is always a relief. One of the highlights was the self check-in system — super convenient, especially after...

Our stay at Anastasia Hotel was absolutely wonderful! The location is excellent, the hotel was very clean, and the family who runs it was incredibly kind and helpful. The room was comfortable and exactly as described. Even though we had stayed here before, we were pleasantly surprised to see that they’ve added a self check-in system and automatic reception this year, as well as the option to use the...

The place has an amazing location, it is super clean and comfortable and the customer service was amazing. We enjoyed breakfast on the suny terrace. Staff was extremely helpful and kept our bags until our boat arrived. We definitely recommend Anastasia Hotel! 

The most personal and kind welcome in my living memory. A family run hotel with hot showers, clean, air-conditioned rooms, fridges, kettles and peace. Please sample their local bespoke super foods that taste as good as they help. The location is a minute from Symi's harbour.

Only stated for one night as I came to Symi earlier than originally planned. Liked the spacious and cool room with a comfy bed and nice spotless white bed linen. Staff at the reception and in the cafe is friendly and courteous. Thank you for a perfect start of my time in Symi.

Location right at the port; strong WiFi; balcony with sea view; spacious bathroom with a well-separated shower booth; helpful owner who answered the phone right away and helped me find the place; there is no front desk but possible to leave luggage safety as the front door is locked and you'll be given the code to open it; electronic kettle in room; shared kitchen.

Good space. Clean rooms. Good service and centrally located on the harbour. But the noise from the bar downstairs made it impossible to get a good night's sleep.

Spotlessly clean,great location

Nice place....room a little beat small.

Nice accommodation in the heart of Symi. Comfortable beds nice little balcony but too small! Nice home. The only downside is that the apartment is not far from the lively bars and restaurants. Off season it's summer, it can be noisy.

What a lovely place to stay! Elena picked us up and showed us the Appartement which is very close to the habour. The room was nice and cleaned every day. Around it are nice little restaurants and it’s really enjoyable to drink a glass of wine on the little balcony. If you have the choice, go for the bigger room as the smallest one is really tiny for two people and two suitcases. However, it worked...

Absolutely lovely. Stayed at this traditional Greek lodging house lots of times with Frank and family. Super friendly, spotlessly clean and, if you have the breakfast, it's one of the best views on the Island and the food is first class. Although I love the location do be aware that it is on a hill, and that going anywhere from Taxiarchis involves both steep up and down.

Family owned and super tranquil. My balcony looked down over Pedi Beach. Frank was kind enough to pick me up and drop me back at the port. Make sure to buy your return ticket. I didn't understand it but Frank said the agency wouldn't allow him to drop me off - then l showed him my ticket. Probably some bureaucratic thing. Excellent breakfast!

Rooms are nicer than many basic Greek apartments, and included a double bed, which is unusual. Plenty of towels available although the kitchen utensils were sparse, only two mugs for three of us, for example. Air-conditioning is available for an additional fee, and was essential during our visit. It's a good walk from both the harbour and Pedi beach (each about 20 mins in opposite directions) and is...

We had an amazing stay with our 5 children. Our youngest daughter birthday was very well celebrated they made a cake with candles and sing Creek birthday song all together The areas island how you imagine Greece it would be for 1000f years ago. With all the comfort of modern times without mass tourism. Absolute coming back to snorkeling the beautiful beaches

Freshly renovated rooms and bathrooms. The view over Pedi Bay - not the island main harbour - is lovely and the surroundings are quiet and peaceful (except for the occasional goat or poultry). The family that runs it goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. A relaxing place of quiet beauty.

Very convenient location in symi. Great for the price

Gorgeous property in a garden setting. I would have liked deep cleaning of atleast the bathroom during my stay. The other option would be to leave a broom and dustpan in the studio. Location is very convenient. Basic facilities but that was expected. More utensils needed for the kitchen and a toaster would be nice. Otherwise, staff are very friendly and helpful and it’s great value for money. I would...

Excellent location, cozy atmosphere enough rooms for four persons, everything you need for your stays at the location. They lost one star because of the air conditioning. There were only one in two space room and this one was front of the double bed direct to your face!

Beautiful place near everything 👍👍👍👍👍

Great full studio with nice decorations. The location is perfect also. Staff is also very friendly. The only bad thing is the WiFi does not reach the back rooms.

Very cozy and beautiful hotel. Familiar and alternative. Rooms were spacious, clean, simple but cute. We had room 10 on the second floor where we could sit on the porche and enjoy the sunset. Lovely!

Absolutely gorgeous room, with lots of little touches to make it perfect, very thought out and very clean and comfortable. We were kindly collected from the ferry port. I love the area, even though its high up, the walk and view is worth it. But also a taxi is only 4euros. Going down the steps to the harbour was easy enough but going up abit harder. There are several restaurants walking distance from...

Excellent hotel. Beautiful rooms as you can see from pics, but also excellent service and stunning views. Pick up and drop from port on arrival and departure. Wine, chocolate and water in rooms. Lovely patio area with table/chairs and sun loungers. There’s even an iron in the wardrobe!! Hotel owner gave us all the information we needed, and even a doctors number in case we needed it as my son was...

We stayed for 5 nights and had a suite with terrace. Everything was what we hoped for and even more. Breakfast was superb. Host could even provide porrige for breakfast which is hard to find on this island. She had a solution for every request we had, including transfer from port and back. Room is well equipped with everything we needed. Could easily walk everywhere from hotel: grocery store close...

Fantastic small boutique hotel furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Breakfast on the terrace is a lovely relaxing way to start your day. The suites are located in the hill village above the harbour and Pedi beach both a steep downhill walk away. However there are taxis and an hourly bus service to take you back up the hill. The taxi costs the same as the bus if there are 2 of you. We had...

Started out with a prompt pickup as we exited the ferry boat by the owner, Evangelia. (You just need to send her a message letting her know when you arrive.) And this is a super important benefit because, unbeknownst to Google Maps, the hotel sits atop a mountain and the port is at the bottom of a cliff. So walking is really not an option with luggage and there was seemingly only one taxi operational...

Excellent choice in Symi island. Extremely clean suites, polite personnel, very nice rooms, beautiful view from balconies and windows, Brand new building... highly recommended. The best choice in Symi.

Sevasti (landlord) was awesome. Went above and beyond to make sure we enjoye our stay. Did not want to leave.

GREAT PLACE A great hidden gem in Symi. It has everything you could ask for, very tidy, extremely clean, and wow that amazing terrace, with great port views from the top. And an amazing host, Sevasti. Thank you again for everything.

Utmärkt Fantastiskt! Så glad att vi valde att bo vid Eos Studios! Highlyrecommended! Thanks for your hospitality!!!

We had one of the five studios of EOS studio. It was a roomy apartment with two floors, at the ground floor there was a big living room with a sleep sofa, a bathroom, a kitchenette and a beautiful balcony with a wonderful view of the village and the harbor. On the first floor there was a big sleeping room and two balconies. The studio was perfectly cleaned every day. The postion was great in the middle...

It’s rare to find somewhere showing women’s football & even rarer on a Greek island as small as Symi! In spite of this, the owners made sure it was a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The owners kept the drinks flowing, snacks coming, & were even bringing furniture out from the hotel as more and more people arrived. I’ll definitely be back (and not just when England make the next final!)

Perfect for air conditioned bliss, comfy bed and 180 degree view of Symi harbour from its large terrace. STUNNING. Also one of the apartments with the least steps (check lots of others have hundreds of steps), despite this top floor having a spiral staircase to access it. Kitchen, fridge, bathroom and small shower, but, but, but, the terrace and views are WORTH IT… so happy with this place.

Decided on a small break away from our all inclusive in Rhodes as we have been to symi on day trips and wanted to see more. I must say we were not disappointed a very friendly accommodation clean and views were out standing from the family room we were allocated well worth a visit and we will go back.

Captain suites is located in the centre of Symi and has perfect views across the bar making it an ideal location to stop and have a relaxing drink. The staff are super friendly and efficient. I would recommend this restaurant for something to eat or drink.

From Tilos island we took the early Blue Star Ferry to Symi island. It was the first visit to both of these two Greek islands for both of us. From where the ferry stopped, it was a relatively short walk to Captain 's Suites. The friendly lady staff let us checked in early which was most appreciated by us. The best thing about Captain's Suites for me is its fantastic location with that simply incredible...

The most amazing place I have ever stayed. If you’re thinking about it all I can advise you is to.. just book it!! The people are beautiful, the view is incredible and they serve the best Greek yogurt I have ever tasted for breakfast. A man named Yannis especially when above and beyond to welcome myself and my group of friends. We would come back in a heart beat.

Stayed in a 2 floor maisonette. Brilliant. 5 minutes from the town centre and port but very quiet. Superb breakfast. Has the only swimming pool in town. Family run with excellent staff.

Very nice place, they only serve breakfast. Breakfast is okay, but I would prefere real bacon on the morningmenu.

Good has a pool big rooms but assistans are a little bit slow

A very good and relaxing place to stay in Symi. Good position and good value for money. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful grounds and gardens with comfortable seating and a covered swimming pool. The maisonettes are well furnished, nicely decorated, and quiet. There is an outdoor restaurant and bar serving good drinks. We came for a family vacation but it would be a good honeymoon spot as well. Sophisticated without being stuffy.

Fantastic oase in the middle of the heat, the not more than ok service was fully made up by the fact that it was quiet, cooling, relaxing and absolutely beautiful❤ was here with boyfriend and 3yearold
