Really lovely hotel in excellent location. Peaceful spot but east to get to a number of very good beachfront restaurants and Kos marina. About 30 minutes walk to town or safe cycle/scooter routes all along road. Staff cannot do enough for you and very friendly. Special mention to the beautiful Bengal cat who lives in the hotel and visited us in our balcony every day 😻

Couldn’t fault this hotel. From the staff to the amenities and cleanliness, everything was top notch. Felt very well looked after and any question we had was answered by the very friendly staff. I’m not normally one for the entertainment section at hotels, but I must admit that the entertainment here put a smile on my face. We walked most days to the old Kos Town, but the hotel will happily arrange a taxi if needs be, which we did in fact use for an evening to watch the sunset in Zia. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to visit Kos.

I can't fault the property. It's clean comfortable and a good selection of food. The drinks are expensive but that's expected of a hotel. The walk to the beach you have to be super careful, as the walk down from the hotel is very narrow and on that lane is a vehicle hire company and coaches and cars are up and down there every minute. You have to cross a major road to get to the pebbled beach, if you have kids it's mega dangerous. The beaches are man made with brought in sand and the walk into the sea is very bad as the beach is made of large stones. Wrong side of the island really if you have children.

4/5 stars. Clean room. Great pool.
I stayed in a brand new room, I was the first to use it. There was an issue of the bolt lock not working when I arrived, but was fixed the next morning. The room was very clean, everything was new and the bed was comfortable. I had a great view of the pool and property from the balcony. Although the room was great, there is no sound proofing and I could hear every footstep and conversation in the hall. This woke me up a few times late at night or early in the morning. The serving staff in the restaurant area and cleaning/maintenance staff in the hotel were very kind and helpful. The front desk staff seemed to only want to help at a minimum. Overall, the pool/room/beach were 5 stars!! Beautiful hotel!

Large hotel within walking distance of Kos town
We wanted a very good hotel (4-5*) in a quiet location within walking distance of Kos town. The hotel was fine but very big and rather noisy for our liking. Ideal for families but not for couples looking for complete relaxation. The location was good but on the first night when we were trying to get our bearings and looking for restaurant recommendations, the reception staff were not helpful. We had no idea of the length of time to walk to Kos town and they could not recommend anywhere to eat - not ideal to say the least. We had to pay for the use of a safe and also pay for pool towels - something we have never had to do in any other hotels we have stayed in. The hotel was clean but the room was very small and basic. I would rate the hotel as 3-4* rather than 4-5*.

Wonderful Stay
This was our first time in Kos and it shan't be our last. The hotel was superb, the whole place was very clean. The pools are a great size and not over crowded. There is a towel on the loungers obsession which is a tad annoying but I am not sure what they could do about that. All in all we will definitely be back :)

Lovely hotel in beautiful setting
We stayed three nights in total at the beginning and end of a yachting holiday. The hotel was very attractive and comfortable. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The swimming pools were very clean and in a good setting. Breakfasts were excellent. The only thing that let the hotel down was that the evening meals were buffet style rather than waiter service.The quality of the evening meal was acceptable, but we had much better meals in local tavernas during our stay. The buffet was cleared away at nine o'clock which we felt was too early. Having gone down to dinner at 8.30 on our first night, we nearly missed our main course and sweet. They were clearing away as we collected our main course so we had to hastily collect both main course and sweet. We had been told that the dining room was 7.00 until 9.00 but assumed that 9.00 referred to last orders. We had a superior room for our first two nights and a standard room for our last night. Both were very clean and comfortable and virtually the same size. The superior room had a jacuzzi, bath robes and different toiletries, but in our case the standard room had a bigger balcony and a better position and view.

Lovely hotel, great position on the island of Kos.
Absolutely lovely hotel. Very clean, excellent staff who were all very cheerful and helpful. Rooms very nice, clean and good aircon and mini bar. Food, really good selection for breakfast(we did not eat in the evenings there), but could see the food choices looked good. All bar staff really friendly. Really good measures. Not bad prices. Pools x2, plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. Poolside snack bar - excellent, staff and food. All food freshly cooked, recommend the gyros and pizzas. Prices not bad for quality of food. Good position of hotel. Bus from end road 3mins Into Kos town. Good bar opposite bus stop 2euros a pint. Lots of lovely restaurants in the old square in Kos, in particular one called Select. Restaurants along the road from hotel. - Nestoras and Blue Ocean. Both very good.

Lovely hotel close to Kos Town
Platanista is a lovely hotel located 3km out of Kos Town with 2 great pools and excellent accommodation. The food is average and the staff are rather abrupt but we stayed b&b and were very happy with the pool bar for lunch where the staff were my friendlier. We hired bikes to cycle into town in the evening to eat where there's a great choice of restaurants.

A standard 4 star hotel
This hotel has very friendly & helpful staff, very good food & decent facilities. We had standard, garden view rooms, which were a nice size. We booked half board & the quality & variety of the meals was excellent. It is family friendly, with plenty for kids to do. Its' location is a little bit 'out of the way', as there is not much in terms of bars/restaurants/shops very near to the hotel. However, Kos town is 10 mins by bus or 5 mins by taxi (€6-7). This hotel is ideal for families or couples, who just want a quiet, relaxing holiday around the pool. If you like being right in the middle of things, it's not the place for you.

Einwandfreies Hotel, sauber, modern ausgestattet, gute Betten, ruhige Lage, Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und große Auswahl in wirklich guter Qualität. Großer Pool. Wir waren in der absoluten Nebensaison da. Das Hotel schloss 3 Tage nachdem wir abgereist sind. Von daher waren vielleicht noch 20 Zimmer belegt. Wie ruhig das Hotel in der Peak Saison ist, kann ich also nicht beurteilen. Aber, wie gesagt, sonst alles tiptop.

Bellissime piscine ed aree verdi ben curate. Colazione a buffet buona ed abbondante, con cibi per tutti i gusti. Bar a bordo piscina con spettacoli tutte le sere. Non abbiamo provato il ristorante, aperto solo alla sera (obbligo pantaloni lunghi per gli uomini). Unico problema riscontrato nella errata gestione del mini bar in camera (attribuzione di consumazioni mai effettuate), amplificato dall'atteggiamento in merito poco rispettoso da parte di un addetto alla reception al quale mi sono rivolto per protestare, il tutto comunque risolto con gentilezza e professionalità da parte del Direttore dell'hotel. Il personale della struttura è risultato essere in generale gentile e professionale.
