Smaragdi Kos Hotel

We arrived by ferry at 6am and were greeted by very friendly night time receptionist who explained the area and provided recommendations. Managed to get a slightly earlier check in (around 30 minutes early) which was good The room we had was very basic, there was no storage apart from 2 drawers and a wardrobe, so had to leave stuff around the room which made it messy and cluttered, no bedside drawers either, bathroom also had no storage apart from a window ledge. no iron provided in the room, asked for one at reception which was provided but no ironing board. the balcony was not very inviting, no sun coming in and the view was awful, there was also nowhere to dry towels/swimming wear apart from over the chairs the breakfast was not amazing, there was a variety of food but the hot food was cold and the cold stuff was not fridge temperature (milk for example), there was no coffee machine so could not self serve and there was only black coffee and orange juice on offer which was provided by the very friendly staff Pool area was very lovely to chill by and had a restaurant which served nice food there is a grassy area under some trees for shade but the grass was not maintained location of the hotel was not too bad, there are bikes to hire if needed, its around a half an hour walk to Kos old town and a 15 minute walk to the beach, supermarket at end of street (5 minute walk) no pavement on street which made it a little dangerous with cars speeding down the road

It was a nice hotel close to town with easy parking. Nice breakfast everyday m. Staff was very welcoming and friendly.

The grounds were nice.

Rooms are good, we were with 4 and 2 separete rooms plenty place in the rooms. Airco works good. Swimming pool small but compact. Breakfast …. If u are not there before 9 in the morning u dont have too much choice. If u are there rond 10 in the morning not much choice. Coffee and orange juice in the breakfast needs to be better . Stuff is good and friendly… just the breakfast has to be better.

Absolutely loved everything about this hotel, perfect location and just so chilled and relaxed and such a gorgeous setting!
