Superbly located by the main square in Vathi, in halfway in between the bus terminus and the ferry port, the Artemis has a front entrance on the port side and a rear entrance on the pedestrian street.
Costas and his family seemed to have owned the hotel for many years and a building like this and the rooms will inevitably be showing some signs of age. The rooms were clean but a little old fashioned. Again probably because of the age of the hotel there was a smell of cigarette smoke in the room that we had. We had room 8 which faced into the inner courtyard, and it was very quiet. There was free wireless internet which was very useful, though you will need to ask for the WEP key.
There was a fridge and a fan, however air conditioning was an extra 5 Euros. Costas and the family were friendly and we were happy to go back to the Artemis and Room 8 on our return trip thought Vathi. It was good value at 30 euros a night in June

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was great. The only budget accomodation we came across. Very clean and comfortable. Showers are great also. We had our room cleaned everyday and the owners are friendly and can help out at any point. Great place

Hotel Artemis was a lovely place to stay in Samos.
Great location, in Pythagoras Square, a main square on the seafront in Vathi Samos, comfortable walking distance from the ferry ports.. Kostas was so friendly with us.
We paid 25 euro for a double bed ensuite. The prices have now increased to 30 euro per night during low season. Air con is an extra 5 euro a night, but if you can get a room facing the water, you don't need air con. Clean and new bathrooms (no shower curtains however). Would definitely recommend it to budget conscious travellers.

It's a small hotel at the heart of the Samos town. The front balconies have an excellent view to the sea. The owner is very friendly and the hotel rates are very low. Good value for money. The webpage of the hotel is [--]
