Chrysoula Hotel in Kefalos

For the price you would expect basic things like AC to be included but you have to pay an extra £50 or more. The room is pretty basic with some repairs needed. The WiFi was sketchy but that’s a good thing on holiday. Short walk to kefalos windsurfing every day.

Lovely family run hotel. I stayed in 1 bedroom apartment. Had a fridge, hob top, kettle and utensils etc. We paid for air con. There is a balcony off the bedroom. Table & chairs & washing line. Large swimming pool which was very clean. 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. Would definitely recommend it.

Great location with sandy beach and shop, depending if you want stay that end of Kefalos. All staff very friendly and helpful, also with the children. 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. Pool bar great with reasonable prices, food nice (especially the gyros pitta wrap). Rooms were cleaned everyday and appeared towels changed most days. Rooms are what some would call dated but to me, 'typical basic Greek' which were clean and spacious, plenty of hot water for showers.

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. 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. A leisurely swim up to the island of Kastri is a must during your visit if not only to explore the island and ring the church bell, but to experience the spectacular views. For those who enjoy history, just a short stroll up the beach will bring you to the famous ruins of Saint Stefanos Church where the vibe of ancient Greece is prominent. The location of Chrysoula Hotel is a 15 minute transfer from Kos International Airport, 30 meters from Kefalos main road (supermarket, bus stop, car- motorbike- bicycle rental) and only 3km from the old town of Kefalos which epitomises traditional Greece.
The service was amazing and helpful.

Amazing experience. Highly recommended

If you value personal family run vs sterile corporate style hotel, then consider this hotel. A dying breed on Kos. Delicious fresh Tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, etc grown themselves and used in meals. Rare! Personal attention and experience to help you plan your visit. Huge clean pool w lifeguard. Our apt cleaned daily and all areas we observed cleaned frequently: grounds, dining, pool area. Buffet brkfst w many choices. Yes AC and safe are xtra but perhaps u dont need so nice it’s optional. Small shower but this is Europe! Excellent low key location: walk to beach and swim to small island to ring church bell, snorkel. Anna’s car rental for car/scooters etc, and excellent market for food, beach stuff, etc. Staff speak English, Italian. Low key relaxed, authentic vibe. Families, pool bums, all styles of tourists are here. Rent a car to better see Kos Island in general; the bus is limited. We paid €33/d at Annas including insurance.

Friendly local family run lodging with fresh homegrown fruits/veges, huge clean pool w pool bar serving food n drink thru the day; Facility and apt cleaned scrupulously. Hefty breakfast. Walk to market, local car rental, and best sandy beach for activities, snorkeling etc. Yes it’s older style but bigger picture it’s a gem.

I had a lovely experience in this acomodation. The room was really good with a huge balcony, it ws located just 5 min walking distance to a very nice beach. Breaksfast was great too, very complete.

I forgot all my jewelry in the room, and the person in charge of the hotel was super kind to send them back to me to Berlin!

I can highly recommend this location.

Lovely place to stay, very safe and manager dimitris went over and above to help us with queries and room accomodation. Pool is fantastic, pool bar food was nice. It's within walking distance of a lovely beach with sports activities and store closeby.

Booked based on other reviews, large family over several apartments. Spotless complex. Rooms were cleaned frequently and linen changed to a high standard. Housekeeping were very pleasant and cheerful. Pool bar was great, food was delicious and resonable . And Dimitris from booking to leaving was a gentleman, so very accomodating and helpful and courteous. A real gem and we would hope to come back soon.
