Our room was not available till 10 pm. The hotel is old and not maintained well. Our room stunk like sulpher as if septic gone bad. Broken items in temporary room. Staff pay zero attention to you. Music pumping loudly until late at night.

The rooms were small but nice. Our view was excellent even though we were on the back side of the property we still were able to see the water and the hills behind. The service at their restaurant was poor. It was as if they couldn’t try or didn’t understand what the customer wanted. There seldom were any customers at their bar and the staff played loud hip hop rap music in some foreign language which chased customers away. The location on the beach was great and in my opinion trumps the little annoyances.

The staff was very unhelpful. Food service was extremely slow, bar service was extremely slow. when we arrived they told us to use the beach was 10 euro each per day and next door with service it was free. Shower had no curtain and no bracket to hold shower head. No attempt was made to be friendly.

We enjoyed our stay at Nostos Beach! The area was incredible and we loved having access to the beach from the property. Our room was clean, however it is an older property so there were some things outdated but that is okay. It was very quiet in the evenings which we enjoyed. The staff was very nice during check in and helped us throughout the week with anything we needed. If you are looking for a budget friendly stay in Kamari, this is a good option!

Nostos was a great hotel for the price and location. Their beach loungers were the most comfortable ones around. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was on the small side but was clean and functional. The language barrier was tough at times but nothing that we couldn’t handle. All in all we enjoyed our stay at Nostos.

Stay was ideal. Check in easy and check out easy. Entrance is out onto the beach which is perfect and the location brilliant. If you are looking for a simple stay with no frills this place is perfect and at a great price.

Little gem of a hotel!
Couldn't fault this little hotel. Right on the beach with free sunbeds and towels. Thought we would miss a pool but we really didnt! Staff couldn't do enough for us and were really helpful in every way. It is situated right in the middle of all the bars, restaurants and shops so you don't have to walk far if you don't want to although we explored those away from the beach. We hired a car to explore the island and the parking was a bit scarce but we always managed to find a space. We only booked a basic twin room but it was clean, quiet and the air-con worked perfectly. Good shower pressure too. Housekeeping service every day with fresh towels. A real little gem and we would highly recommend. Also, check out the open-air cinema in Kamari. We saw Mama Mia 2 but they have a programme with other films. Lovely stay here.

The room was on the small side and would have been fine had the air conditioning worked. I had noted other reviewers comments on the air conditioning but had hoped the hotel would have fixed the problem. I also wish we had known that when you request a room with a sea view, it also comes with the activity of the restaurant directly below. The food at the restaurant was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The beach is actually on the direct flight path to the airport. Not a problem for my husband and myself but might be for others.

Even thought the washroom was really clean, it had a weird bad smell, and bad water running in the washroom as well. :(

OMG. I will never go back to this hotel. The bed was broken, AC was not working properly. It was making noise in the middle of the night. The towels were do hard they didn’t use a dryer. They hang the towels to dry under the son so they were so hard it scratched your body. The staff was very nice but the owner is very cheep. Also they played Italian oldies music from th 70’S non stop. OMG. They replayed the same “CD” over and over all day. The worst hotel ever. BUT it’s at a very good location.

Dear Tina, thanks for your feedback, its valuable to us. We will consider everything and do the best we can to take care of all the issues. You stayed with us for 8 nights and never allowed the cleaning staff to enter your room for cleaning staff to put proper towels. Instead you were taking alone the towels that were under the sun (there were beach towels, or towels for other purpose). The bed broke during your stay and got fixed directly. After 8 days the room had an awful smell from the smoking. Rooms are NON SMOKING and you were informed. You did not respect our property and also you did not respect the other guests that loved the music, repentantly asking to change it. Good luck with your next accommodations, hope they meet your needs.

Great location, small friendly hotel. Pedro and staff couldn't do enough for you. Not luxury but great value tor money. We had everything we needed and the hotel exceeded our expectations. Loved to have breakfast overlooking the beach. Breakfast is optional which is great as you can decide on the day. Highly recommended.

Kamari is a more relaxed beach town, and Nostos fits that bill nicely. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is great, as the hotel is right on the black sand beach. However, the bathrooms left something to be desired, and the beds were uncomfortable (especially considering our "king" bed was just two singles pushed together). It was also disappointing that while we were there Nostos seemed to be the only hotel on the beach that did not have chairs or umbrellas set up, for reasons unknown to us. We didn't regret staying here, but felt we may have been able to find something nicer in the same area for a comparable price.

Staff is amazing and friendly. Rooms are very dated housekeeping did not change the sheets only made the beds. Most rooms donot have a view but you are a few steps away from the beach. There are staff quarters and some staff live on the premises where you can see the clothes lines. I feel as though prison bathrooms may be bigger than the ones at this hotel. Shower only, very thin shower curtain The floor gets easily wet the bathrooms doors are hard to shut windows get foggy and it can be extremely cold at night. Our room smelled like paint and also sewer at times. If you aren’t looking for luxury You really can’t beat the price for the location

Miniscule room with a horrible noisy bed
When we reached the room we were surprised to be alloted a shoe-box of a room, with a non-functional AC. When we complained, the first response by the staff was "There is an AC, right, we can't do anything if it's not working". After a lot of argument they finay got somebody to fix the AC. But the AC was just the beginning. The bed in the room was like a guitar, every time you so much as touched it, you would get a super out of tune music (so ANNOYING). And to top that off, the bathroom was also tiny with no ventilation. It stank all the time. And was wet for hours after every bath. We had the most horrible stay here. Will NEVER recommend to anybody.

A little piece of paradise
From the moment we arrived Elena and her staff made us feel so welcome.Nothing was too much trouble. Although the rooms were basic I must say they were the cleanest I have ever stayed in. Clean towels for the beach everyday was an added bonus as was Elena's knowledge of the island and she was always willing to help and advise you in any way she could. To sum things up this is a fabulous place to stay on a beautiful greek island. Thankyou Hotel Nostos
