2 star hotels in Kefalos

Lovely hotel and very nice and welcoming staff. We arrived late off the Edinburgh flight and was met by the bar man who was friendly and polite, he showed us to our room and invited us to the bar which was open till 2am. Our room was clean and spacious but slightly dated (family room). Shower room is a bit of a nightmare as the floor floods from the shower and is very cold on a morning. Hot shower...

Very good hotel. We stayed here for a week and everything was a pleasure. People working here are very nice, also the price is convenient. I highly recommend to come here and visit the whole island. If you rent a motorbike/car, you can easily visit every place and then turn back to this beautiful hotel, with a nice swimming pool waiting for you.

Friendliness of staff variable but overall a clean and reliable hotel with great views and a large swimming pool set among olive trees. You get what you pay for so more mod cons and beachside facilities can be found down the hill on town but for quite a lot more money.The savings which I made from staying here have been blown on great dining at the many fine restaurants along the Harbour. I should...

Situated on a hill. Not great if you have mobility issues. The staff are so nice and helpful ☺️ Good size outside pool, but freshwater and cold. Snack bar serving limited items. Steep steps to the upper-level rooms. But amazing views from the rooms. The bed wasn't to my liking, too soft for me.

Great Hotel , breakfast fantastic . Slight issue with broken draws in cupboard. But that's just such a small thing , not worried really , would never spoil the hotel , staff and the holiday . Great views and as many might complain about the hill , having to walk up . You wouldn't get the fantastic view for breakfast 😀😀😀 thank Hermes will be back

Lovely hotel, but is up the hill & there are lots of stairs, no lifts. The main part of the hotel is away from the rooms, which was great because the rooms were super quiet. Will definitely return.

Stayed here with my wife,daughter and longtime friend in 3 rooms,1 double and 2 singles. Upon arrival met by Chrisoula and informed they were overbooked causing us to be put in lesser rooms than booked for 1 night,then hopefully get rooms we booked.After lots of tired discussion with another staff member we agreed as nowhere else available to go too as we would’ve if possible informing them of views...

Just back from staying at ionikos with my daughter. From the minute we arrived we felt welcome. The rooms are clean with a kettle, fridge and hairdryer. The beds are comfortable and clean with the best pillows for a good night's sleep. There is a snack bar with very reasonable drinks and lunch options. The pool area is clean with plenty of sunbeds and a large deep pool. I can not fault anything during...

This is a really relaxing laid back hotel, great views of the beach and chapel, very comfy beds and very clean. The staff a friendly and chatty, the food is lovely and plentiful with drinks in a chilled glass. The pool is loveley but never many people using it with always sunbeds available. A truley relaxing place. Prices are good except for the sunloungers and umberella on the beach and they tend...

Didn’t stay at this hotel because we wanted a package deal. But we went there every day for lunch and drinks ! Chris and her son nic were so helpful Looked forward to seeing them again ! If ever this hotel comes up as a package we will definitely stay there! Every thing about it was good location right on the beach 🏖️ it was very clean ! Food good massive portions. Staff very friendly...

Just got back from an incredible stay at this beautiful hotel in Greece! The views were absolutely stunning, the souvlaki was the best I've ever had, and the hotel was really clean. The owners treated us like family, making the experience even more special. Highly recommend this place!

We did not stay at the hotel but did use the pool and snack bar on a few occasions. All I can say was it was clean abd well kept. However most of all the staff were very friendly and accomdating. The food and drinks were really good and well priced. We had a very positive experience and the young lad, I think he was the son was great. Picking mint from the plants for our drinks and taking care preparing...

What a fantastic hotel! Everyone is super friendly, both at check-in, during breakfast, and at the bar. The rooms are clean, there’s air conditioning, and you get a balcony. You can enjoy a great swim in the pool, and the sea is also within walking distance. The breakfast is good, with yogurt, fruit, cake, drinks, bread, and toppings like cheese, cold cuts, and jam. The room is cleaned every day and...

The hotel is very clean and well-maintained. The rooms are spacious, nicely decorated, and comfortable. Breakfast is tasty and satisfying. Overall, a great experience – would definitely stay again!

I had a fantastic stay at Athinoula Hotel! The room was clean and very comfortable. The location is perfect — close to everything you need yet peaceful and relaxing. The breakfast was also great, with a good variety to start the day right. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!

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

Lovely family run Hotel , very helpful and sorted out our transport to airport. Good breakfast , just off main road so perfectly peaceful, great night sleep. A big thank you for your hospitality would stay again.

Very friendly owner, and nice self catering room. Limited crockery etc, but this is about usual in my experience. 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. Only lost a point as we were in the ground floor and so didn't have a private...

My family stayed at the hotel next door; the Pantheon View. Our hotel didn’t have food due to the families splitting the hotel into two (Pantheon View - bar, hotel, Pantheon - restaurant, hotel). This meant we came over for food on the evenings, the family are so nice and have a lovely little dog called Teddy. We got along with the family very well over the 2 weeks we were there and it was hard to...

We went to pantheon what can we say absolutely beautiful stunning view's this is a family run business , Janet , Panos, and their 2 children Sevi & Yanis . Nothing is too much for them and make you feel so welcome, This is set up in a hill which is lovely and quiet so if you struggle walking hiring a car to get about is perfect which you can hire at the hotel through Janet or Panos . We went with our...

Where do I start? Our first time in Kos and what a trip to remember. We arrived here at pantheon hotel and was met by the lovely Janet, as time went on we got to meet more of the wonderful staff.. or should I say our new family. Janet, her husband and her two amazing kids run this side of the two hotels and create a fun, friendly but chilled atmosphere. Despite being two hotels, you can use either...

Be aware, there two hotels, Pantheon view and Pantheon Hotel. They are both within 20 metres of each other. They originally one hotel but were split and are now run by two brothers. The Pantheon Hotel is run by the brother and Janet and offer cooked breakfasts, meals and restaurant in the evening. Whereas Pantheon view did not do hit food and only offers a very simple breakfast, cereal, toast and coffee...

Never in my 37 years on this floating space rock we call earth, have I ever known a place where you can head out to the pool and be guaranteed sun loungers (yes, plural). The gaffer is a lovely lady named Janet. She has an incredible skill of being close by exactly when you need her. And virtually nothing is a bother for her. The family around her that make up the staffing of the pantheon make your...

It was fine! Janet was absolutely lovely, always making sure we were comfortable and good, very nice. The rest of the staff were also very kind. Dinner was great, there were plenty of food options (even as a vegetarian, which I was pleasantly surprised with). Breakfast, on the other hand, was pretty simple. It was the same every morning and for egg and fruit you had to pay extra. But what we had, tasted...

Great room. Great garden. Great breakfast. We were very happy with our stay at Kos Island Studios.

If you are seeking for the original greek hospitality this is the place! The rooms are very nice and clean. You are provided with everything you need: clean sheets every two days and extra towels for the beach 🏖️. It's quiet and suitable for families with or without children. The breakfast buffet has a big variety for everyone's taste. It's a family business and you feel instantly the warmth and hospitality...

Great place to stay. Very beautiful. Wonderful owners and staff. The best breakfast in Kefalos

I love the place! Great hosts, delicious breakfast, quiet location aybe not the first line from shoreline though no cars at night) and everything you may need for a good price

The best accomodation in Kefalos, probably in all of Kos island. Barbara is one of the best guests I've had so far, very nice and welcoming. She was always available to give advice and make the stay the most comfortable possible. I would recommend it to anybody, anytime!

We had a very pleasant stay - a personal, warm and authentic atmosphere. The Fourtounis family was very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much!

My fourth summer coming to Fourtounis Hotel. It is a beautiful hotel run by the most special family. Breakfast is served in the morning with fresh fruit, homemade cookies and cakes, jams, eggs, Greek yogurt, and so much more. The hotel is peaceful and located steps away from Kefalos Bay. I love coming here every summer it is so hard to have to leave I am always at peace when at Fourtounis.

Pros Extremely comfortable beds to the point you didn't want to get up Breakfast was decent but tasty with a big selection The hotel is close to the beach and to many restaurants and coffee shops All the staff were wonderful and provided amazing hospitality The room was getting cleaned on a daily basis Cons We faced no issues in our stay I would love to come again next year

We stayed at the hotel for a week and had a good time, simple, simple but clean rooms with air conditioning and mosquito nets, in the morning we always found a freshly prepared breakfast, very fresh yoghurt, omelettes, toast and homemade jams. The structure is managed by the family, every day we were asked if everything was ok, close to the sea 200m, the only thing we would improve is the access on...

Elias and his family are always very kind and friendly and very helpful in satisfying any requests... in short, they try to make you feel at home... an essential structure with no frills but guaranteed cleanliness... the lady's jams are fabulous, not to mention the other sweets that she prepares..I always gladly go back there when I come to Kos

We spent 6 nights at Fourtonis and I would definitely recommend it. The position is perfect cause has a big parking space on the back but the there is a fastet way to be directly on the main street in front of the beaches. The room was big, clean with AC and all the necessary amenities. The room was cleaned everyday and they gave us fresh towels.We had an amazing view directly on the sea. The breakfast...

Perfect location, right on to the beach. Within walking distance to bar, restaurants, shop and car hire. Main road wasn't too busy. Friendly helpful staff. Had to walk half a mile for a cup of coffee in the morning as coffee machine broken and no milk for at least 2 days. Room was small, for 2 people. No room to open suitcases or store them. Bins emptied daily, but towels and bedding only changed...

Our room was small. The bathroom was even smaller. Feet in the shower cubicle when you sat on the toilet. Two mornings in a row there was no milk at breakfast and the coffee machine was out of order aswell. Having to pay extra for the air conditioning dosnt seem right in this day and age. The staff were friendly enough but hotel felt dated.

Family room. Nice and big, cleaner was in everyday. Left it spotless for us to get back to. What a lively guy who owns it too. We unfortunately needed up with a poorly child and he couldn't do enough to help us out. Called his family doctor and got him to the hotel for us. Asked how they was everyday. The evening meals where lovely too. Right on the beach. What more could we of asked for. Would...

Wow what can I say, a little piece of heaven on earth. A traditional family run hotel and restaurant at a beach location. Renowned Greek hospitality is ever present. We have never been made to feel more welcome. Thank you for a fantastic break. From the bottom of hearts we wish you peace, happiness and the success you well deserve. Efcharisto

Had room with side sea view.. small but ok. Wasn’t staying on a package and stayed 2 nights. Had lunch in restaurant and it was good.. BUT… The quality of the breakfast is very very poor -Suggesting they provide it because they have to (package guests). So bad we didn’t bother second day and instead went to super cafe 5 minutes down the road. I gave feedback but I know it won’t be taken on board. Perhaps...

We are halfway through our stay here and are finding it so relaxing. This is a typical family run Greek hotel with great family service. The beds are comfortable (we asked for extra pillows and sheets and this was no problem at all), the pool/beach area is great, all the staff are very friendly and great to talk to. The reception isn't constantly open but you can always find a member of staff and...

Lovely family run hotel. Owners are friendly and welcoming. Everywhere is spotless. the rooms are traditionally greek. 2 single beds together and TV and fridge in the room and we had free WiFi. Air conditioning for a extra cost I think 8 euro a night. Breakfast was served 8-10 , bread, ham, cheese, boiled egg, cereals, tea, coffee and orange juice. Enjoyed it every morning. Snack bar was fine plenty...

Fantastic place, ideal for those, who wont to really relax. Hotel run by a friendly family, who took care of everything. Very clean and pleasant everywhere. A family atmosphere prevailed every day. Other guests we spoke to also had this feeling. Free time could be spent by the pool, which was available to guests. Evenings at the hotel cafe, with a little alcohol and soft music. Hotel located in a...

Lovely place. I have stayed in so many places in Kos with excellent breakfast their breakfast was a real letdown, but what a lovely family run hotel.

You get what you pay for, and for what this 10 day holiday cost we found our accommodation to be excellent value. We brought a kettle but as we were out and about didn’t need it often. The rooms are clean and regularly serviced with fresh towels and bedding. The bathroom was dated with that tiny Greek shower where the temperature offers surprises and the water won’t stay in the tray, but the sun soon...

Amazing hotel managed by a wonderful family. They're always willing to help and we felt very welcomed. They have a lively bar by the pool area with ice cold beer ans snaks. The prices are more than affordable and the service 10/10. I absolutely loved it and will definitely return next year

An absolute little gem of a hotel. The hotel is a family run establishment. It’s exceptionally clean throughout. The pool is lovely and lovely sun lounges too. The family were very helpful and fun. Bar food was lovely. Downside, was breakfast, but that’s not a problem when everything else was brilliant

Good Resort with friendly staff and service.

Fantastic.Great place to stay very clean and reasonably priced

Eva and George are perfect hosts. The property has large apartments and are reasonably priced. 10 minutes walk to the harbour/beach. Lovely cake left in the apartment and bottled water on arrival. Nice leaving present of fridge magnets and olive oil soap. Thank you, we have already recommended to friends and family.

For the price, you get really good accommodation with a bathroom and kitchen, air conditioning in the bedrooms, and a balcony!

I'm very pleased and pleasantly surprised. The rooms are small but adequate, very clean and modest. The kitchen has everything you need. There's a safe and air conditioning. The view is seaside, and the beach is a 10-minute walk away. Eva, the hostess, is very nice. For this price, towels and bed linen are changed every other day, and cleaning is done every other day. Shocking. I highly recommend this...

One of the loveliest, friendliest, good with children, family run places we have stayed in. Very Greek 🇬🇷, basic, spotlessly clean, lovely bed linen. Close to a beach and a couple of tavernas. Very quiet. We hope to visit again for our third visit next year.

We (a couple) tried Kefalos for the first time (regular visitors to Kos) this year and picked the Manolis studios, just on a whim. Our stay was absolutely fine and we found lots of spectacular scenery, because the best beaches are round this side of the island. It isn't the best resort (Kefalos) for those with teenage (or thereabouts) kids who demand a lot of activities, as it's more an adult/seniors...

We had a great 2 weeks stay at Manolis Studios. The rooms were basic but cleaned regularly and comfortable. The only downside was that the bathroom flooded every time we had a shower, so wet feet everytime we went into the bathroom. The air conditioning was good but if you want it, you need to pay extra and they seem to make the prices up as they go along. We went bed and breakfast and there wasn...

Awesome place to stay - lovely family and apartments. Cleaned regularly and everything you need for your holiday. Air conditioning was fabulous. Amazing BBQ night hosted by the family. Superb location, close to all amenities. Hire a quad from Anna’s car rental and dcplore! Loved Manolis Studios.

We stayed here for 2 weeks in August we had a very relaxing holiday rooms were cleaned every couple of days pool area lovely no fighting for sunbeds at all there are plenty to go round as it’s a small family run complex The family are lovely nothing is a bother to them Friday night BBQ is a must really good value and grandmas stuffed vine leaves are wonderful good value at 13 euros Would definitely...

Definitely 2 ** but Clean enough. Rooms okay apart from being inundated by Ants on the balcony we were ground floor visits by Cockroaches on numerous occasions in the room& outside, bathroom from the 80;s in need of full referb small shower tray not much room to wash , which totally floods the whole bathroom floor. We went self catering asked to hire a toaster they do not provide this which is a must...

Just returned from the albatross. All I can say is wow. Just fabulous. Lunch food simply amazing..... already booked for next year. Thank you. X

Wow…everything about the albatross is just special ..,the place is immaculate with maid service everyday …the staff are the friendliest we have ever come across …Maria ..Kristo…Tula..manolis…yanni and I did not get the name of the maid but she was amazing also …we miss you guys and I actually cried when leaving …(I don’t cry) this is listed as a 2 star hotel with 5 star staff …,defo not a 2 star …everything...

First stay at this accommodation and what hits you is the stunning locality of the property across the road from the beach with palm trees lining the route to the bay & harbour all this is clearly stunning from your balcony if your at the front of the property. The place is beautiful and the apartments very modern by Greek standards. Food was very tasty but a tad pricy I’m comparing to our trip to...

Once again we returned to Albatross and had the most relaxing holiday. Maria and staff are so welcoming and look after everyone so well. They cannot do enough for you. The best place, beautifully clean, the most wonderful location. Already booked to go back

My wife and I stayed at Albatross Studios in August 2025. We booked it because it was family run, just a few apartments, self catering and close to the beach and restaurants. We were not disappointed. Albatross Studios is a gem of a place. How it is only rated as 2 star is beyond me. The rooms themselves are spotlessly clean. Maid service is almost every day, with fresh towels and linen. We had...

Writing this review while I’m still here at Albatross Studios, have 2 more days to go. What a lovely place to stay, so relaxing and peaceful. Clean. Always a sunbed available. Lots of choice of drinks and food. Large portions and so tasty. Friendly staff. Cannot fault it one bit. Will definitely return.

Excellent experience, very clean room, very nice and helpful lady, rich and varied breakfast, recommended.

Excellent value for money very rich breakfast very kind lady.absolutely recommended ....

The owner speaks little English, but makes an incredible effort to accommodate and adapt to every request. Very clean, on request daily: cleaning, fresh towels and even bed linen. Unfortunately a lot of mosquitoes. Restaurants, bars, supermarkets and town beach 5 minutes walk. For the beautiful beaches you need a vehicle.

We really liked the EFI apartments. Close to the sea, clean, great cleaning.

Beautiful clean refreshing sea, uncrowded beaches. Pleasant accommodation corresponding to the studio category with regular cleaning. The stay is a bit spoiled by mosquitoes and missing insect nets.
