We stayed at this hotel in 2007, but this was not option for me to select.
Really happy that we stayed in Kos Town, as we hired a Quad and visited other resorts, which in comparison were poor.
The Hotel, was a short walk away from the harbour, and not too far away from the old town. Our room at the hotel was new, clean, and of a high standard for Greece. However we were in the new part of the hotel, and the old part is very poor.
We were offered a room for 1 hour, free of charge, for our late departure. Which is really good and not a service i have ever been offered before. This room was in the old part of the hotel, and is like sceane out of only fools and horses, orange 70's tiles, curtains that were hanging off their rails. The shower was rubbish! Whilst we were getting a shower water started pouring out of the light sockets, the electric was going on and off, water started to come through the ceiling and we had to escape. In the end we had flooded the old part of the hotel. It could only happen to me!! The receptionist was very helpful and all the staff and guests managed to pull together as it had started to flood others guests rooms. I felt aweful especially when i saw the rooms they had, in comparison to where we had been staying. It was like a different hotel.
When you are out and about, i would highly recommend visiting Jacksons for a meal. The sunburnt arms on the beach front was great, and really cheap for an excellent full english breakfast. They make you feel really welcome. On a night there are some really cool up market bars in the Square. In the old town there hide some interesting little shops that sell the local produce, excellent for buying gifts. There are also some very nice greek restraunts where you can eat, and some really nice pubs, our favourite was a little place, where the owner has really long hair, and was clearly a fan of 70's rock music. He has guitars everywhere, and played some excellent music, if you are into Neil Young, Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd.
Excellent location, but easy to get lost as all the streets look the same. We ended up in Lambi, as small resort outside of Kos Town, walked for mile to get there looking for our hotel, and paid a fortune in a taxi to get back to the resort. That's the last time I ever believe my partner when he says he knows where he is!!
Lots of historical sites to see, while you are there! All in all it was a fab holiday!
Room Tip: Ask for the new part of the hotel - Be warned!!
