9.4/10 Exceptional! (31 reviews)
I'm a young lady travelling alone and was a bit nervous about finding the right place to stay in Samos, but So Nice Hotel exceeded my expectations! Here are some of the things I appreciated about my stay: -I had some questions and booking adjustments to make with them before I arrived, and their responses were quick and helpful. -They were kind enough a taxi to receive me at the airport which followed through even after a last-minute layover. -The room was clean and tidy with a small kitchen that made it possible to cook simple meals with ingredients from the market just a few minutes walk away. -The hotel is a small building operated by just a few people, all who were welcoming and kind. -The room had air conditioning! -Just down the road there are lots of shops and restaurants with beach access and sitting areas that are either complimentary or accessible for a small charge. (Tortuga was my favorite place right on the beach and Green Zone which is just across from the beach was my favorite place overall). -I felt totally safe and was confident that the So Nice staff would be willing to help me with any confusion or complications I may have. If I ever return to Samos, this place would be my first choice!
