Horrific outdated dump

We’d passed this hotel last year when staying further up the hill. So we thought we’d give it a go. It was going to be the first time we hadn’t gone all inclusive because we’ve found ourselves eating out more and enjoying Kos town rather than just stay in the hotel. Upon arrival there was no polite greeting. We were simply informed about the room tax which we knew about anyway. That paid, he then said what about aircon? Are you paying for that? This was something I didn’t know about and hadn’t seen any mention of it when booking via the tui app. We were taken to the room. What we soon found out to be the infamous room 207 ( check other reviews) He simply pushed my partners case through the door and rushed off. Stunned and disgusted is somewhat closed to what we found. It was the early hours, let’s sort tomorrow. Then it was time to get a shower. The missis went first, when I went in it looked like she’d hosed the full bathroom down. I asked what had gone on. She pointed out there was no bracket for the shower so she had to hold the shower while she washed herself. I had to do the same. The toilet roll looked like it’s been dropped in a bath and put back on the holder.
We worked out it was better to hold the shower while each other showered. The toilet seat was loose and broken, the grate in the showers moved as it wasn’t fastened down. Another cut foot courtesy of room 207. The entire bathroom was bodged in every manner possible. The next day after our morning shower I confronted the staff ( one of three brothers for this to be rectified. By day three, we’d had nothing done, shower fixed, towels swapped room cleaned etc despite there being cleaners in the hallways every day. Enough was enough. I told the same member of staff to get it sorted or we wanted another room. His reply was well there’s no other rooms. They did insert a bracket between the shower head and the hose and mount a mating bracket on the wall. This at least meant we didn’t have to hold the shower for each other. But the idiot who changed it clearly didn’t know what an o ring was or even checked to see it was working as it now flew out of the connections. Still drenching the entire bathroom. Day five we got some fresh towels. Day six tui finally offered another room for our last night. It’s a hotel of two halves. The lower floor had been refurbished and looked lovely. The top floor was in danger of being condemned but both the hotel and tho seem happy to send people to this abortion of an hotel. Talking to people we’d paid nearly double what they’d paid and still was on the floor from hell.

Avoid like the plague.

Disappointing to say the least

Mis Konnie here, since I can’t reply to your response, I’ll make sure to be incredibly honest next time: your customer service is just as broken as your grammar. Thanks for confirming to everyone reading this that my review was 100% accurate."

Excellent

A beautiful family run hotel, this is not our 1st visit and won’t be our last, we have stayed in all the different room types, some are older than others but when you book you make the choice on the website you pay extra for the upgraded rooms but who needs a tv on holiday ! The pool is large and heated by the sun, which is absolutely refreshing when you have been laying in the sun It’s always clean and great for those who love to swim The pool bar is a wonderful place to eat chat and just enjoy a drink or a cocktail, all the family are helpful and work extremely hard to ensure you have the best holiday Great choice of food freshly cooked reasonably priced and served with a smile Our bedding was changed every other day along with the towels, rooms cleaned everyday except Sunday The hotel is 20 minute walk from town busses run at the end of the road and the family will try and get taxis (sadly they are very unreliable) I read in one of the reviews that they had paid over 2k for their stay here flights will account for most of this for 4 people then transfers oh and then the agents commission when it broken down the hotel gets very little, i truly believe that sometimes people go for the cheapest option and expect 5star hotel for 2star payment We find this hotel absolutely perfect for our needs, family are the best, the food wonderful always clean and comfortable

An amazing place to stay

An amazing family run hotel, the family are very friendly and always happy to help. Staying in a pool side room which was beautiful, clean and very comfy. Definitely great value for money, food is amazing at the bar, greek night is always amazing. It's not too far to walk to town. Having stayed here every year for years it's a home from home. Can't wait to go back.

If you read the preceding reviews, I can only say that they are correct. I’ve done around 60 reviews over the years and it’s very rare that I give a 1-star rating. I take no pleasure in speaking ill of small, independent/family run businesses. That said, this is my honest opinion based on my experience. On arrival, we were shown to the room and instantly regretted booking here. We weren’t expecting the Ritz as this was a fairly cheap week with the girls (although still spent over £2k!!). My wife and I shared a room as did our daughters. Each room has a fridge (theirs didn’t work even after being reported), neither shower worked correctly and by that, I mean the shower heads were broken so we had a stream of water coming out from the side - not a proper shower. There was hot water on an evening (not the morning), I asked for a large towel to be changed and told they’d ran out and was given 2 small towels instead ??? Pool was freezing - sun loungers were old and dirty, broken tiles around the pool, our rooms were dated and nothing like the images shown on the website. Breakfast included yes, BUT not much choice. Wifi really poor. All in, not a pleasant experience. Waste of money. If you are thinking of staying then the location is decent - about a 20-minute walk to Kos, 5 mins from nearest beach, plenty of supermarkets to choose from, the food at the pool bar is fine/reasonably priced (although better & cheaper eats are short walking distance away). Rooms are cleaned regularly (at 9am!!!). My advice: go somewhere else - IF you do stay here, pay for a superior room to save disappointment. Even then, I would still advise going elsewhere. The only positive was we only stayed for a week. For me, one to put down to experience.
