It is hard to review this hotel from any other perpective except the rock climber; but then climbing is the reason for most people visiting Kalymnos. The Philoxenia is perfectly located under the Grande Grotta, far enough from the cafes and restaurants in Massouri to feel a little exclusive but still close enough to reach by walking easily.

This is a very special location, away from the loud motorcycles and scooters that run around the port and the more busy side of Kalymnos. This has a spectacular view of the island of Telendos and the sea. The nights are beautiful with bright stars in a black canopy. The sound of goats bells moving in the mountains behind the... More

The hotel was really nice, the room was good and the beds were comfortable. As Greek accomodation is always basic, this was above average compared to previous places we have stayed in Kalymnos. The family that runs the hotel are very friendly and accomodating to your needs and were willing to try to please us if we had any requests.... More

Lovely family ran hotel set in a quiet loaction 5mins outside Massouri. Staff were very friendly and a chat was never too much trouble over a drink or too at the end of the evening. Rooms cleaned every day with views to die for overlooking the islet of Telendos. Buses pick up outside the hotel and run to Pothia, the... More

A very friendly family owned hotel in a great location. Gorgeous views of the Agean Sea, Telendos Islet, mountains and sunset. There is a lovely pool area. The hotel is located at the end of the Armeos, Masouri, Myrties strip and is a 5-10 min walk to restaurants and bars. Great place to relax and we would definitely stay here... More

The hotel is in a fantastic location, with amazing views of Telendos. The family that run the hotel are very nice and helpful. The free breakfast was OK prior to our climbing trips. The pool was great to cool down in at the end of the day. The only thing we didn't like about our stay was that despite being... More

Placed outside Massouri. You can walk in 5-10 min. Massouri is not that big but it got what you need. It is not a late nigth city, thank you :-) The bus goes just outside the hotel to Pothia the capital of Kalymnos. The staff takes good care of you, very nice and friendly.

The hotel was clean with huge balconies and good veiws. But is not near any beach so to speak of as it claims in the brochures. There is no welcoming feel to the hotel from the staff & some strange rules, eg You may not eat your breakfast outside !! Breakfast is toast & jam anything else you have to... More

The hotel is run by the Papanikolas family and by the time most guests leave they feel that have become part of the family too. The rooms are clean and fairly spacious, most have balconies the size of a small bowling alley with sea views to die for. I have never stayed in a hotel with such a friendly relaxed... More
