Hotels on first line in Kos

Only issue here for me were the cats as few running around the hotel. ️ Beach The hotel has a private beach with a volleyball court. It was quiet, even in peak season, but quite stoney with ample sunbeds

My kids especially enjoyed playing boules, darts & water aerobics lots of fun and well-organized as well as the usual work off your breakfast games in the pool

Pool Two pools—one larger than the other—both very clean and never overcrowded, even in August. Entertainment The entertainment team was great

While the beach and transport options could be improved, we had a great time and would recommend the hotel and would like to come back again

Tv’, safe and ample wardrobe space. The bathroom was modern, with a great shower and complimentary toiletries. Service All staff were consistently pleasant and polite, which made the experience even more enjoyable

Improving transport infrastructure would really benefit guests and the island overall. ✅ Final Verdict Overall, the hotel is a clean, friendly, and relaxing with great food, service, and entertainment

The food was fantastic at every sitting, there was something for everyone. We particularly enjoyed the themed nights, the Mexican night was superb. My kids loved the poolside bar snacks and salad bar

The bus costs €2 each way (cash only), or the hotel can call a taxi for around €10 to Dolphin Square. The beach is near the bus stop and not more than a 10 minute to the shore

The beach is located over the road and the bus stop to Kos is right outside the hotel. The bus stop a bit further up the road outside the blue lagoon hotel operates a free bus service to the water park

As a pescatarian, I always found something, though if you’re fully vegetarian, the options might be a bit more limited. There’s also a Gyros snack bar open from lunchtime until dinner serving gyros, toasties, and chips

Loved it.. Clear friendly food was fantastic and none wasted. Close to town on a bus route or 10 euros in a cab. Staff kept the bar open on the first night as we were late and dehydrated. Going back again.

And one of my favorite things, there are lots of friendly cats around the hotel, which added so much charm. The staff were amazing from start to finish, and I honestly couldn’t recommend this hotel enough

Beach:
Several beaches are within a 5–10 minute walk, but I’d recommend going a bit further if you want nicer ones

breakfast was continental very basic but suffice. write up on hotel says across the road from the beach it’s not it’s the harbour!and also says a ten minute walk to main shops which is more like twenty

Hotel:
The hotel is older, but everything worked fine. The location is okay, but if you plan to go to Kos Town daily, you’ll probably need a bike or some other transport, as it’s about a 20–30 minute walk

It can be inconvenient, but since this is well-known in advance, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. Despite having a room close to the reception, the WiFi wasn’t always reliable

Room:
I stayed alone and had to pay extra for the second bed, but honestly, I can’t imagine two people sharing it – it felt more like one and a half than a double bed

Overall, for the price it was fine as a place to sleep, but not really somewhere to spend much free time – so next time I would probably choose a different hotel

I would particularly like to pay compliment to William on front desk who was there to greet us with such a warm welcome. I had made a special request which he had arranged for me

We loved our stay at the Astron. On arrival we did think the corridor to room and room was a bit tired looking , it was late at night but next morning room is roomy and bright, lovely view of pool

Huge thank you William and also the young man in your bar, always so friendly and always smiling! This hotel is so well located, everything within walking distance, Old Town, bus station, great Tavernas all on your doorstep

Always so pleasant and friendly as we came and went. The real wow factor was the view from our balcony, room 205 , absolutely amazing view overlooking the beautiful marina

Myself and my husband have just returned after spending a wonderful week in this gem of a hotel located right on the marina in beautiful Kos Town

Bathroom is tiny and only a bath no shower but everything clean and tidy. We had the most amazing lady who looked after our room Afrodita

We had a perfect stay at this lovely hotel. A lovely quiet beach is just steps away from the rooms and it is so peaceful yet only a short walk into Kardamena for some great restaurants and shops, car hire, etc

The room facilities in the kitchen/dining area (fridge, small electric hob, kettle, coffee machine) and bathroom (great local soap and toiletry products) were exactly what we needed

The location right on the crystal clear Aegean Sea is just as fantastic as the beautiful nature, the wonderful garden, the comfortable apartments with great sea view and the very nice and hospitable owner Nikos

The apartment was spacious, clean and traditional, with a large double bed in the bedroom, and a sofa bed in the living room/kitchen area. The bathroom had a bath with shower attachment, toilet, sink and hair-drier

Our apartment was on the ground floor, which we had asked for, and the sliding doors in the bedroom were leading onto a private terrace with a table and chairs, from where we could overlook the beautiful, well kept garden with its palm trees, and the sea beyond

The hotel beach is literally right in front (20-second walk) and we loved its convenience! The water is very clear and clean, and we barely saw people in the water and most of the time it was all for us

They have sunbeds and umbrellas around the pool. Have a poolside bar, food was very nice and prices are good. Good choice of breakfast on buffet. Short walk to the beach, supermarket and other restaurants

Good choice for breakfast which was always being replenished and tables cleaned. Always plenty of sunbeds at the pool, all times of day with large clean pool

I stayed in 1 bedroom apartment. Had a fridge, hob top, kettle and utensils etc. There is a balcony off the bedroom. Table & chairs & washing line. Large swimming pool which was very clean

Within swimming distance of Saint Stefanos beach is the renowned island of Kastri which boasts the church of Saint Nicolas where many visitors and locals alike choose to get married

Chrysoula Hotel based in the picturesque resort of Kefalos on Kos Island. The island of Kos is located in the Aegean Sea and is one of the most beautiful islands of Greece

Chrysoula Hotel itself is based in Kefalos Bay and it is just a short walk of 200 metres to the stunning sand and shingle beach of Saint Stefanos

A heartfelt thanks to management and team - I was the last guest of the season … and wish them all a well-deserved break! Thank you for your special care and attention to my needs as my leg injury was healing 🫠

The room was evacuated and nicely decorated. Both the room and the swimming pool were very clean. The bar has good prices and the breakfast is very tasty. The staff were extremely polite and helpful

Such a fantastic space, people, tastefully designed - reminding me of a big garden with the buildings beautifully arranged … and a good size pool as well

The bar is well stocked and they also serve lovely light meals from the bar. Breakfast is good with a wide choice of food. It's close to town where there are many restaurants, bars and shops

The location is excellent - for anything and everything you might wish to do

Great apartments on a small complex. The staff are helpful and can't do enough for you. The apartments all have a balcony or terrace and are situated within lovely flower laden courtyards

In our experience, It has the highest value for cash. We arrived to Kos at 3am and the place was open with someone to accept us. Clean rooms with balcony, kind staff, let us leave our luggage after check out

Recommend! Yes, it is a 3 star hotel so you can't expect the fanciest facilities, don't forget it is also one of the cheapest places you can find on the island, especially in this location

Good place for watching a soccer game! The bartender Janis was super friendly and if you want to watch any sport event, he will make it possible! Price per beer (0

33) is not cheap (3,50) but it's worth it if you want to watch some sports or have a good evening with a cool bartender! :)

The boys in reception and bar too handsome. At least models, when i have weather i join them for coffee.

And the best part is the included breakfast! Best way to kickstart your day on the island (:

There are also plenty of bars and restaurants closer by. The nearest beach is just a 5–10 minute walk, though we preferred the city beaches a bit further away, which offered free sunbeds

A nice surprise at Kos island! Extra large rooms, nice decoration, big bathrooms and lovely terrace! A bit crowded around the pool but still a lovely hotel. Ps: Very polite employees!!!

Well situated slightly back from main thoroughfare. Beach was about 300 mtrs away. Staff were really helpful and polite. Reception staff were particularly helpful

Pool is nice but the stretcher toppers were all soaking wet and smelly old. Overall ok, but wouldn’t stay again. But maybe I’m also not the target group 😜

Also residents around the pool would use extra sun lounges put their bags on and prevent others sitting close. nothing would be said to these people

Great hotel, great service and delicious breakfast!

Only slightly negative thing we could say is that we wished they’d keep the pool open after 7pm, would be nice to go for a nighttime dip

21st July 2025 & 13th October 2025 I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the wonderful Gaia Gardens Hotel not once, but twice this year – first in July with my two teenage daughters (aged 14 and 16), and again in October as a solo traveller

The restaurant was another highlight: fresh, flavourful food with plenty of choice, served in a relaxed and friendly setting. Every meal felt like it was made with love

Our room was fabulous – recently renovated, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and blissfully quiet. It was the perfect retreat after days spent exploring or relaxing

It was my sisters birthday whilst she way staying at Gaia gardens and I wanted to see if the hotel could arrange a small surprise for her as I was back in the UK

From the moment we arrived, Gaia Gardens felt less like a hotel and more like a loving home tucked away in paradise

Nice bar area close to the pool which served very nice food and all the usual drinks. Plenty of sunbeds/umbrellas for everyone. Literally a few footsteps from the beach/sea

We stayed at Mammis Beach Hotel and were absolutely delighted! Great location: just a couple of minutes to the beach. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious. The room was clean and cozy, with a sea view

Stayed at this hotel for a few days. Calm place right by the sea, we really liked. Room was simple,but clean, staff friendly and easy to talk. Beach is just in front, and sunsets from restaurant were really good

We’ll definitely come back and recommend it to friends! Excellent value for money

It's great to be able to relax in such a wonderful place. The main advantage, in my opinion, is that there is a swimming pool and the beach is nearby. That's great!

Very clean pool, nice breakfast, and very close to the airport (10 min drive). The atmosphere is very traditional and friendly. The only small thing is the 15-20 minute walk to the main town, but it's very peaceful here

Room were clean but very dated if your on the larger side the shower head is by bath taps so not much room to move. Around the pool crowded felt as though sunbeds were on top of each other but pool was nice

This was a last minute booking for myself and my mother who is in her 80s. Check-in was straightforward and our room slightly dated but clean. All sea facing rooms overlook the reception roof but that's not a problem

Plenty of sunbed availability & as we were relaxing by the pool every day, the entertainment team provided exactly that for us

They were genuinely friendly, going out of their way to chat with people, learn names, and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Their sense of humor was a highlight keeping the mood light and enjoyable

Heard some complaints about food not always being piping hot but I think that this is quite normal for a Greek buffet - and it didn't bother us (in a hot climate) as there was always plenty of choice

Big shout-out to the animation team for keeping everyone entertained and creating such a fun vibe every day! Especially Anna and Enzo — you two are absolute stars! Thanks for all the laughs and great energy, you really made our holiday unforgettable ❤️

Perfect central location with everything you could want on your doorstep an abundance of restaurants, bars, shops pools and beaches to visit. The hotel is very clean with daily maid service

The Rio Hotel in Kardamena is beautiful and centrally located. The family who runs it is incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with great tips for restaurants, trips, and beaches

Centrally located, walking distance to centre and beach. Apartment was spotless and extremely clean. Friendly and helpful staff.

Each room has a fridge and facilities for making a brew. The hotel is run by the most wonderful family who have been warm and welcoming on every visit and are so helpful to every need, can’t wait to go again

Would highly recommend Rio Hotel service second to none , hosts are friendly nothing is too much and treat guests as friends make all feel extra welcome , go as strangers and leave as friends

Towels and bedding are refreshed every other day or so. There is a shower room available to use for freshening up if you have a late flight, also at no extra charge

Kettle and normal size fridge in the room, but you're asked not to eat and drink in the hotel room as they have a pool bar, although it wasn't open in the beginning of May. Nice swimming pool and also a paddling pool

Great family welcome. Clean rooms with several sheet and towel changes in the week. Beside restaurants bars and supermarket and a very shirt walk to the beach. A lovely spot and I totally recommend staying here

Great pool and location is a very short walk to the beach (down a footpath to the left of the building and a few yards down the road), here is is a great supermarket and many tavernas and the long and nice beach

Great family-run hotel with pool, pool bar and lounge bar. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. 90% of the guests are repeat customers and that says it all. Can't recommend it highly enough.

A friendly family run hotel just a short walk from the beach, in a quiet area. Rooms are basic but very clean. All have balconies, air-conditioning /heater

Big swimming pool good breakfast and helpful staff, very clean overall great value for money

There was a lovely swimming pool at the front of the hotel, where they were holding a pool party with a DJ and live sax player during our stay. The hotel was within easy walk of the port, Dolphin Square and the old town

This hotel is pefekt its close to anything just a litle walk and your there. Close to lambi beach and the center. This hotel is clean the rooms are cosy good service

There was a double bedroom with a large ensuite bathroom, a kitchenette with fridge, 2 ring cooker, coffee maker, kettle, glassware, cutlery and some cookware , a lounge area with a TV, couch bed and a child's folding bed set up for my grandson

· Friendly, helpful staff, great central location and excellent facilities for the money. We were only there for a few hours between catching our 9am ferry from Turgetries and our 4am flight from Kos Airport

Although check in is officially at 3pm our room was ready early and they let us check in shortly after noon. They also booked an early morning taxi for us

We were 3 adults - myself, my son & daughter-in-law - and my 6 year old grandson. We had booked 1 room which turned out to be a well appointed apartment

The garden is lovely around the pool, got very busy round by the pool so its worth saving a bed when you go for breakfast which is 7 to 10. The pool bar and snacks are very reasonable but again can get busy

Good hotel, great versatile tasty food. Great location, 100 m away from sea. 20 min walk from a city center. Rooms are little dated, but clean, and big enough

Mixed bag this one,the hotel is clean and presentable but don't expect 4 star luxury because it isn't. Pool area is nice as is all communal areas,pool doesn't open until 10 which is far too late given the temperature

Only one thing I didn't like - tough mattresses So it is a good choice for a reasonable price

Location is about a 20 minute pleasant walk into Kos town,there is a bus stop outside but we found the buses unreliable. Decent enough beach right outside the hotel as well as a small supermarket

We are here for 7 nights, actually the second day. Room furniture is a bit old but everything works. Staff is very kind, professional and helpful. Especially the receptionist Irene, very kind and helpful person

Good pool area plenty of sunbeds and drinks and snacks are reasonably priced. Safe and air-conditioning you will need to pay for separately. Definitely recommend and will definitely stay again 👌 👍 🙂

In a quiet location but only 3 minutes walk to beach and centre. Pool area spacious with a generous sized pool, plenty of sunbeds never crowded and pool bar snacks and drinks were good and priced well

Pool area reasonably sized and plenty of sunbeds. Great location with a short stroll to the centre. Another great holiday would recommend

They don’t pretend to be anything they are not. Yes it’s a 2 star hotel but it is cleaned every day and nothing is too much trouble. The pool has a great atmosphere and you are not being over charged for drinks and food

the pool bar food is cooked fresh on ordering, you are always greeted with courtesy and a smile. would and will recommend to family and friends

) location is 2 mins from all the shops-bars-beach. Take time to speak to Pedros and his mum you will find them kind and accommodating

Location We had bicycles, which was ideal — although you could walk everywhere, we just preferred bikes. The hotel is right behind the city centre. Walking to the city took us 5 minutes, same with the beach

The hotel was great! Had an amazing time here in Kos. Extra shoutout towards Stefanos! A hard worker, very polite, and made me feel at home 😀 Made me want to come back to the hotel... probably next year!

Clean rooms, kind stuff and at the heart of the town for a reasonable price

The location is also not too busy; the only thing we heard were a few cars passing by, and that’s it. Very nice location-wise, I must say. Room and hotel The room we stayed in was clean, cool, and nicely decorated

When my girlfriend and I were about to go back home, we thought she had lost her ID, and the front office employee immediately offered to call the restaurant we had visited to make sure it wasn’t there

They clean the rooms every day if you want and change your towels. The air conditioning was a real lifesaver during the hot days — it kept our room cool and stopped us from sweating all the time

nice and clean hotel. the room space is more than enough. the pool bar is also good. the breakfast was better than most of the hotels in Greece.

We stayed here first and last night of our holiday before taking the ferry to get to and from Patmos. Our flight to Kos was delayed 2 1/2hours so it was gone 11. 00pm before we arrived, so straight up to the room

Rooms are tired and there's 6a lot of noise from the street. But breakfast is great, and the rooftop pool terrace was the best!

The rooms are very comfortable, equipped with everything you need, excellent bathroom with roomy shower. Breakfast is more than adequate and sets you up nicely for that day, and the resident parrot is very entertaining

We only stayed here for one night as we were travelling the next day. Room 200 was for 3 people and was very comfortable and clean with free water in the fridge. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and beanbag loungers

We had half board so we had breakfast at the hotel which was excellent. For lunch or dinner we had to eat down near the beach at a restaurant which the hotel must of had agreement

We went self catering, but eat out most of the time. I would comment that the kitchen utensils & cups etc were spotless. The pool was a traditional rectangular shape & although quite big, it did tend to get over crowded

You can do a day trip to Bodrum, Turkey which is very close, but we didn't bother. Our favourite beaches were Lambi (north side of Kos town), Tingaki (North coast & miles of sandy beach) & Kardamena on the South coast

weird? cheese and ham, not much choice really. The best option was yogurt + cereals + honey. I guess breakfasts served in the pool bar are way better, just cost additional money

We did hire cars for most of the holiday to visit the sandy beaches which weŕe predominantly on the other side of kos town & along the north coast

Our apt had a kitchen with two single beds & a bedroom with double bed. The rooms were made up every day & were clean, comfortable & spacious. A special thanks to our cleaner Anna & her ever smiling, friendly colleagues

The hotel is made up of several blocks. We stayed in a first floor one bed apartment in one of the new blocks. Check in was easy & throughout our stay the reception staff were very helpful, including arranging car hire
