A collection of low-rise, white apartment blocks, one of which directly overlooks the pool, and a cafe/bar. Friendly and helpful staff - barman works his butt off but always smiling. Apartment was very good value. Basic furnishings (as you'd expect for a holiday apartment) but perfectly adequate and spotlessly clean, as was everywhere round the place. Sheets and towels changed every other day, full clean twice a week. Kitchen area had fridge + two-ring hob + microwave + coffee machine and basic pots, crockery and cutlery. A bit of a botch-job in the bathroom but everything worked fine even so. Great balcony wrapping round two sides of the apartment. Not all apartments over-look pool; some are over the road - good if you want to avoid bar entertainment noise in the evening, but then you road noise instead (not too bad; not a very busy road, but I speak as someone who lives in a city so if you're from a quiet village it might drive you nuts). Avoid basement apartments - didn't see inside one but they look dark, even though they have a little kind of dug-out terrace instead of a balcony. Aircon costs an extra 6 euros a night, so make sure you really need it before booking it (we went Sept and didn't even though it was still hot during the day). Good size pool, very clean, with lots of sun beds. There's also a little gym and tennis court. Peridis Apartments are in a good good location 15 mins walk from harbour area with lots of restaurants and bars in easy walking distance. On Psalidi side of town in residential area, so nice and quiet (apart from late night Karaoke once a week from the hotel a couple of doors down). Suited to families with younger kids, empty-nesters and oldies, but teenagers and twentysomethings will probably want to be at the Lambi end of town where all the clubs are. Beware - reception closes at 11pm and the night watchman may not be there after that, so let them know if you're likely to arrive late. We assumed there'd be 24 hour reception, arrived at 4am, and had to sleep on sunbeds by the pool until reception opened! Enough to do in Kos town to last a couple of weeks with a mixture of pool/beach, restaurants and bars, watersports, historical sites like the castle and various Roman ruins, and cycling. You can also do boat tours to other islands or Bodrum in Turkey (20 mins on fast boat). There's a good network of flat cycle paths (properly separated from the road) and out-of-town roads are quiet, so really worth hiring a bike to get around. Would definitely recommend this hotel and Kos town generally. I tend not to go back to the same place twice as I prefer to try new things, but if I was the kind of person who likes to go back to somewhere, I would definitely go back here.

We stayed at Peridis on a recent stop in Kos. As a traveler with 2 teenage boys, we really enjoyed the spacious rooms. However, I found that having the hotel in 2 separate buildings reduces the intimacy of the place. Location is a bit noisy as you get a lot of street traffic. The pool was awesome, but some activities to get the kids intreracting would've been nice. We enjoyed eating by the pool and listening to the live music.

Peridis Apartments consists of several buildings centred on the same crossroads of Makrigianni Street. Some of the buildings are slightly older, but still a reasonable standard for the price. One of the buildings, however, is priced slightly higher as it is absolutely brand spanking new. It is worth every penny.
We stayed at Peridis at the start and finish of an island-hopping holiday in the Dodekansese, and having seen hotels and rooms in Kos, Symi, Rhodos and Patmos we can assure you, it doesn't get much better than this.
The room was luxuriously sized; the bathroom brand new with fancy and functional fittings; the kitchen large and well-equipped, including coffee maker and kettle.
The pool area was wonderful, including a jacuzzi and children's pool. The bar staff were almost too friendly and helpful. The other hotel staff, likewise, was extremely friendly, helpful and service-minded with excellent local knowledge. We had an altogether wonderful stay at Peridis, and would recommend the new block of this hotel to anyone wishing for a high standard, uncomplicated holiday in Kos.

Our family of two adults + one five-year old booked one of the best rooms at Peridis, a two-room suite with a roof-terrace (R1), and found it to be well above expectation for charter travel accommodation. Aircon, kitchenette, bath/ shower were all in good order. This is Greece however, so do expect the odd ant and mosquito: we got mauled the first night before we learned to shut windows at dusk... but were bite-free after that despite sitting outside on the deck until late.

The hotel itself is located on the quiet and residential side of Kos town, 10 minutes walk from the beach and around 20 minutes from the main shopping and bar areas. Despite all its other typically Greek tourist offerings, Kos is seen by many as a party-destination. Do note that Peridis is a family-oriented hotel... so we didn't se many 19-year olds on a mission there. If bar-hopping is your thing you would definitely be better off on the west-side of town.

One of the hotels strongest calling-cards is an excellent pool area with an adjacent toddler-pool. Alex who runs the pool-area is a great fixer and will organise anything you need.

Kos itself offers great nightlife, island-hopping, day-trips to Turkey, water-sports, lots of ruins in town and around the island, nice beaches, and plenty good food and historical interest.

Easy to recommend this if you want an uncomplicated and good-standard sunny holiday. Have a great holiday ;-)
