Unfortunately the hotel is extremely close to the main road to enter the town. So close in fact that only a small sidewalk separated the build from the busy road. We had book a city view room and upon arrival and discovering how incredibly close the rooms were to the busy street, we requested to be moved. They offered a sea view room for 300 Euros more per night for two nights and two nights back in the street nightmare. We refused the offer and asked for a refund to change hotels. The only other option they would consider was moving us to a sister hotel which was a 30 min walk from town. At Aqua Blu hotel, we had to pay 55 Euros additional per night for four nights. The room had a broken AC which was fixed the second day and a smelly bathroom pipe, also fixed on day two. All in all, we were dissatisfied by the treatment from a supposedly 5 star properties.

This charming boutique hotel is in an outstanding and convenient location in the heart of this beautiful resort. The service from every member of staff was exemplary as was their friendliness. The breakfast was superb and nothing was too much trouble. It was a privilege to stay at such a prestigious hotel and enjoy its numerous benefits. We recommend this hotel without reservation and plan a return trip ourselves.

The hotel was absolutely stunning and feels like you are stepping into a little piece of heaven. Everything is immaculate and beautifully designed, the detail in the rooms was incredible. The breakfast was delicious, from fluffy praline whipped pancakes to fresh cut fruit and poached eggs with avocado, fresh orange juice and a choice of pastries and teas. The setting is stunning, it is in beautiful little town, set on the beach. We ate breakfast on the veranda on the beach in the warm sunshine, which was just stunning. In addition to all the beautiful decor , fantastic food and beautiful setting the staff were all so friendly and helpful and seemed to be genuinely caring and interested in our day. The Maître d' Alexandra was so welcoming and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. It really was an exceptional hotel all round, I hope to stay here again. Thank you

It is a fine hotel. The only thing against it is the terrible 'music': intrusive, monotonous, banal.

The best stay in my vacation to Greece from the time that I landed in Kos to the time I left. The service was amazing, the restaurant had a live singer for dinner one night, the breakfast was unlimited and delectable, the room I was in was the executive suite. Had three balconies. The sounds of the water at night were melodic, the layout was great and the tub was great.

We stayed here for 1 night while visiting Kos. The hotel is beautiful and has incredible views. The location on the beach is second to none. The staff have gone above and beyond for us, from checking us in early to booking us a local restaurant on our behalf. The breakfast is amazing and has a great selection. I would recommend to anyone!

Superb luxury

This hotel is pure luxury. We were impressed from the beginning. Our ferry came in early and it’s a short walk pst the castle from ferry terminal from Astypalaia. Hotel offered all facilities even though our room wasn’t ready for check in. We took advantage of the complimentary bikes and rode around the island foreshore. The service is excellent, breakfast the best I’ve had on this 6 week round the world trip. Room was spacious with slippers and robes and also complimentary reef shoes for the stone beach. Deck chairs extra comfy and private. I cannot fault this hotel and if you get a chance to stay here (only 8 rooms) you will love it.
