The hotel was absolutely stunning and feels like you are stepping into a little piece of heaven. Everything is immaculate and beautifully designed, the detail in the rooms was incredible. The breakfast was delicious, from fluffy praline whipped pancakes to fresh cut fruit and poached eggs with avocado, fresh orange juice and a choice of pastries and teas. The setting is stunning, it is in beautiful little town, set on the beach. We ate breakfast on the veranda on the beach in the warm sunshine, which was just stunning. In addition to all the beautiful decor , fantastic food and beautiful setting the staff were all so friendly and helpful and seemed to be genuinely caring and interested in our day. The Maître d' Alexandra was so welcoming and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. It really was an exceptional hotel all round, I hope to stay here again. Thank you

The best stay in my vacation to Greece from the time that I landed in Kos to the time I left. The service was amazing, the restaurant had a live singer for dinner one night, the breakfast was unlimited and delectable, the room I was in was the executive suite. Had three balconies. The sounds of the water at night were melodic, the layout was great and the tub was great.

We stayed here for 1 night while visiting Kos. The hotel is beautiful and has incredible views. The location on the beach is second to none. The staff have gone above and beyond for us, from checking us in early to booking us a local restaurant on our behalf. The breakfast is amazing and has a great selection. I would recommend to anyone!

Superb luxury
This hotel is pure luxury. We were impressed from the beginning. Our ferry came in early and it’s a short walk pst the castle from ferry terminal from Astypalaia. Hotel offered all facilities even though our room wasn’t ready for check in. We took advantage of the complimentary bikes and rode around the island foreshore. The service is excellent, breakfast the best I’ve had on this 6 week round the world trip. Room was spacious with slippers and robes and also complimentary reef shoes for the stone beach. Deck chairs extra comfy and private. I cannot fault this hotel and if you get a chance to stay here (only 8 rooms) you will love it.

Lovely hotel, decor is beautiful and feels 5*. It was however VERY noisy in our room all through the night, meaning we didn’t get much sleep. Could hear the cars and people from the road as if they were in our bedroom it was that loud. Good location so we’re glad we stayed for 1 night to see Kos town, but not a good nights sleep.

Great location. Ensure to get an ocean facing room as the ones facing the street get very noisy at night. Also beach is open to public as they have no way of cordoning it off.

I was first scepitical when I booked the hotel because the price was too good and it looked amazing from the pcitures, but there were no feedbacks. A quick check-up on the internet confirmed that this was a newly refurbished hotel in a historical building. The stay was perfect - received an upgrade and had a great view overlooking both the sea and the castle of Kos (hostirc part). The suite was big, there was complimentary Nespresso coffee, great bathroom, great separate area with TV and couch. Very modern design, clean and generally super appealing. Good breakfast (though no buffet at the time of my stay) including eggs benedict etc. Immediate beach access with great service, and a very nice restaurant are all part of the hotel and were most plesant. The frontdesk was super helpful aswell. Will definitely return.
