Hotel is located at the harbor. Music is quite loud at the bar, but if you want more quiet room, ask for the garden view. There is not very much garden to see, but at least it's quiet.

The breakfast is very basic: toasted bread, cheese, ham, boiled eggs, yogurt, honey, mysli, cornflakes, tea, coffee, juice. There are many bars and markets next to the hotel to buy breakfast if this is not enough.

Air condition was free and worked fine. Toilet is clean, but small and the rooms are also quite small. The fridge was big enough for drinks and snacks for 2 people.

Free wireless internet works at the lobby and the bar. No signal in the room.

There were a larger group of us living at the hotel, so we had the opportunity to see 3 different rooms, all with garden view. This is what we had:
- First floor room on the right side of the corridor had poor view, but large balcony.
- Second floor room on the right side of the corridor had small balcony, but more trees around and a bit better view.
- First floor room on the left side of the corridor had better view and large balcony. Some of the balconies were separated only with a small fence, so it can be annoying if you have some stranger living next door. Some had bigger glass walls between the two balconies.

So, they have different sizes of rooms (1 to 3 persons), balconies and different views. The things above is just what we saw and experienced. You can always ask and then see what you get :-)

This Hotel is situated on the Port of Pythagoreio....millionaire yachts, old fishing boats, bars and cafe's are along the boardwalk......with people walking and no cars....
It is busy and always something to watch...I..personally love dancing right in front of the boats and diving in the water afterwards....
The hotel staff is courteous and friendly and took really good care of me after drinking the best Moquitoes I have ever had.....mint growing in a pot right in front of me....the receptionist Freedom....treated me as family the minute I walked into this hotel...and the waiters at the bar....gentleman....polite..and served me wonderfully...rooms are small, but....big enough to sleep and shower...what else do you need???? Your on an island that has the clearest, transparent, turquoise blue water...night life and restaurants that serve food just like Mom use to cook...no one stays in their room!!!! And no one sleeps either...only on the beach...in the late afternoon....never at night....you will miss the sunrise and the dancing!!!!!...The Hotel Polyxeni is perfectly situated between all of these things....walking distance to the beach......liitle restaurants tucked in narrow streets...and day trip boats docked right in front of the hotel....and shop until you drop..LOVE IT!!!!..

Pythagorion was the step-off point for a week of sailing through the nearby islands. On arrival, hotel staff although polite, refused payment by credit card, insisting on cash. Our room was on the first floor and a broken lift meant hauling luggage up a steep and narrow staircase.
With respect to rooms, if you choose to stay in this hotel you MUST INSIST on rooms numbered 201 - 204. These are the only rooms that actually overlook the harbour.
The room was basic but comfortable, clean neat and tidy (we had room 202), and the balcony provided excellent views of the entire harbour.
A small note in favour of this hotel was the excellent double glazing of the windos/doors to the balcony. After working out how to close them properly (there is a trick to this for those not familiar with this type of window) the exclusion of noise and loud music from below was almost 100%.
Our room cost included breakfast that was ample but basic. For food there is a plethora of choice along the waterfront if you are happy with "tourist" quality dining. There are many small restaurants and cafes hiding in the back streets within short walks of the hotel and these are worth finding for finer dining.
Overall, this place is basic, but clean and comfortable and if you can get a room with a balcony overlooking the harbour, the location is hard to beat.

Having planned to stay in Samos for 24 hours before a ferry to Patmos, we decided to choose a cheaper hotel and were too rushed to read the other reviews of this hotel...what a mistake. Our experience was terrible. The rooms are dirty, with cockroaches and ant infestations. The staff were rude and apathetic and it was clearly a major hassle to accommodate any of our requests or questions. They also did not know anything about island information - where to buy ferry tickets, where the nearest beach was... We were overcharged 10Euros for some sort of bogus credit card issue - which has not come up in our whole trip, and did away with our cheap hotel idea. The wireless internet will only work in the loud lobby. When we asked about access upstairs in our room we were told, "Well, it worked yesterday, so I don't know." (eye rolling and loud sighing from staff) The music from the downstairs bar is so loud that the windows reverberated throughout the night until about 3am and the walls are so thin between each of the rooms that all manner of things can be heard throughout the night and early morning. As we left, the rude staff member even wanted to check that we hadn't taken anybody else's bags by mistake...
