I liked the location and the staff. I would have given 5 stars but the rooms need the furniture updating and I didn’t like the bathroom, it is old and needs also updating desperately.

The hotel is well located with restaurants and beach right near. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The restaurant manager, Dimitros, gave us a best choice of the fish restaurants in Lagade, where we enjoyed a lot the local food. Rooms are outdated and should be renovated, but it didn't affect our great stay at this hotel. By my opinion, if you are going to Chios, it is the best option to stay due the beach and pool. The breakfast/dinner/supper has a lot to choose from and the service is highly rated. Overall, we had a good time and will return to this property if will be back to Chios.

It was very European. Not the same as American, but we were in Europe to be in Europe, not to be in the US. The food was amazing, we had to wait for food, but when it came, it was consistently worth the wait. We would return to Golden Sands Hotel.

This was our third time at this hotel. The rooms and plumbing could use some updating. Has parking but if the hotel hosts private events which happens often parking is definitely a problem!

I absolutely enjoyed my visit to Golden Sands Hotel. Beginning with the excellent staff communications, and their personal welcome, and continuing with the room accomodations, and the pool overlooking the beach. I was there for a wedding party, and I was very happy with my hotel choice. As a solo "senior" woman, it is important to me to feel safe, to know that someone cares about my comfort and well-being. This is all true at the Golden Sands Hotel. I recommend it highly and can't wait to visit again!

The staff are great, but it looks and feels like the owners have not spent a cent on it since it was built in the 70’s. So, it is tired. There’s nothing wrong with it - it is clean, staff are friendly and efficient, but it is not up to modern standards.

Hemen önünden kalkan otobüslerle merkeze çok rahat ulaşıyorsunuz. Taksi kullanırsanız 14-15 Euro tutuyor. Deniz sığı ve kum, çocuklu aileler için harika. Kahvaltısı güzel çeşitli. Çok fazla Türk misafiri olduğundan çay demlenirse çok güzel olur. Otel eski yenilenmeye ihtiyacı var. Banyodaki duş perdeleri, musluk, duş çok eski ve bakımsız. Havuzun temizliğine dikkat edilmesi gerekir.

Sade, dingin bir tatil için mükemmel!

Çok temiz ve sade bir otel. Eğer benim gibi gösterişli ortamları sevmiyorsanız, sade ve kültür içeren 80'lerin dekorasyonu ile döşenmiş bu oteli seversiniz. Otelde her şey yeteri kadar var. Odamız çok güzel ve temizdi, bahçeye bakan oda olarak almıştım, hem denizi hem de bahçeyi görüyordu. Havuzu güzel. Denizi ise harika. Altın kumu var denizin dibinde ve sahilde. Çabuk derinleşmiyor, bu yüzden bir yürüyüş oluyor denizin içinde, dalgaların kumun üzerinde bıraktığı kabartılar, ayaklarınızın altına refleksoloji yapıyor. Harikaydı. Su çok güzel. Sakin ve kaliteli bir tatil için çok güzel. Merkeze 8 km uzaklıkta, taksi 15 euro tutuyor.

Great location. Terrible old hard matresses. College dorm beds. A little investment would go a long way. Great grounds keepers. Great staff ar front desk. Great breakfast . Rooms needs painting and furniture upgrade. Excellent laundry service. Parking a nightmare. If they put decent beds and pillows and some paint in the rooms it would be much better. i would still reccomend the hotel for the location , great staff and great breakfast
