“ Small friendly hotel close to beach and town more suitable to couples.Clean basic rooms and friendly staff,good value for money. There is a 24 hour bar and Manos the night barman is welcoming, friendly and helpful.

“ Top Tip: Take a trip to the Sunburnt Arms Beach Bar & Restaurant it is run by Samantha & Giannis, a warm welcome awaits everyone also great food, both English & traditional Greek.. Also The Caravan Restaurant run by Hassan & his family just down from the Captains hotel, excellent food and a warm welcome here too.

“ This is a clean basic friendly family run hotel near to town centre, beach and restaurants. The staff are welcoming, helpful and friendly.

“ Top Tip: The Sunburnt Arms is a lovely beach restaurant perfect for both traditional greek and english food. Samantha and Giannis the owners give a warm and friendly welcome to everyone.....a visit is a must, you won't be disappointed. You can use the. sunbeds for free. The restaurant is in a very good location.

“ A good well managed budget hotel. Set amidst the concrete jungle that comprises Kos new town, it is within very easy walking distance of everything that Kos town has to offer and the harbour. Staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. Other guests I spoke to seemed to be well satisfied and some were repeat customers. Makes an excellent base before and after exploring other islands or indeed Kos itself.

“ Top Tip: I used A2B transfer to and from Kos airport. It can be pre-booked on the internet and provided a good, reliable service at a much lower cost than a taxi.

“ The hotel is a little shabby in the details, about ten minutes from the beach, and has a very 70's feel, which could be really attractive in a retro way if it was thought about a little. Its clean, and for the price it was fine as a base.
The owner seemed a little dour but the rest of the staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful.

“ Top Tip: If you tire of the usual moussaka, stifado, pizza, etc then try Alexandrou's taverna, which is a little cheaper than most, is all home-cooked, and has some more unusual things on the menu (I had pork with figs and passion fruit) - and nobody stands at the front and tries to force you to eat there; consequently it is always busy!
