Phaethon Hotel

Caring and friendly staff, very good location

Old rooms and especially baths

Excellent room on the top floor. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast is nice. The host was helpful.

Very convenient for the ferry

Hard beds and pillows, teeny tiny shower

The room had a big roof where we could smoke so we kinda had a big balcony.

The rooms were fine but we had to hold the shower head ourself, thats the only thing that should have been fixed in my opinion

For a very low price you have a simple breakfast with some ham, cheese, eggs, selection of vegies and some sweet pastry to combine with honey, jam or chocolate. Well worth the money to start you on your day. The room was clean, everything worked, WiFi, AC, shower. The cleaning ladies did their job more often then you would even expect of them. The ladies at the reception were very pleasant and helpfull. You can also buy some basics for your room at the hotel to avoid carrying heavy stuff, like water bottles for example. For anyone not too lazy the beaches are a healthy walking distance of around 20 minutes and the main bus station is even closer.

You need to be a little nitpicking to find minuses for the price. The rooms furnishing is a bit older but nothing was damaged or dirty so for the price of stay it was a bargain. The coffee was not to my taste on the breakfast but that was recoccuring all over the island until we found good coffee places. The stay was generally quite, with a little exception of a guest nearby who took pleasure in slamming the door, but that it is not the hotels fault of course.

Great location, you have everything you need around you. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was ok, maybe a few more options or changes during the week would be better.

Poor soundproofing. The outside is not the problem, but you can hear every single guest on your floor coming and leaving, laughing or listening to music.

Located at the city centre makes it perfect starting point for wandering around and it's steps away from central bus station. Interior is dated but well maintained and clean. Breakfast is repetitive but it is an offer. Staff is friendly. Great value for money.

Location is great although some noise from the street and cikadas in the tree. Nice staff. Reasonable price for the room.

The shower was so small you couldnt barely move inside the cabin.

Location was ok. About ten minutes walk from old town. Very clean. Staff helpful. The breakfast was adequate.

The shower cubicle was extremely small. The towels were very like sand paper.

Friendly staff, good location, good cleaning

Small bathroom

Location, excellent stuff (many thanks to Liesbeth who was so helpful), really clean place.

Very good budget hotel in a perfect location. All the basics are thought for. I like the low rise building old mosaic flooring, super quiet room despite downtown location Walking distance to everything The bus ferry schedules available on reception, 24 hour receptionist Ironing room , luggage storage even a shower in the communal area was available for guests after check out. I was only transiting Kos for 1 night but had a very comfortable stay

The shower cabin was so tiny I found it difficult to move - something that can be fixed by changing the plumbing to the side wall

The hotel is basic but very convenient. You are near old town, beach and the bus station. We had an early check in and late check out as well with no problem. Breakfast was also basic but for the overall price it is expected. Wifi was good, A/C was working. Do not expect luxury. All the receptionists are fluent in English and very nice, friendly and helpful.

Small shower and no elevator. Breakfast is same every morning with very bad coffee. You can only park opposite of the Hotel and only if there is a free space. There is no parking fee. Rooms number 30, 40, etc. have a really bad view. If this is important for you, keep in mind that.

Great location and lovely staff. The hotel is a little dated but that didn't matter at all. We stayed one night and it was perfect . The shower is probably the smallest in the world though!

The attentive staff the clean and comfy room and the price

Location and helpfulness of staff, they agreed to keep our luggage on our return to Kos even though we were not staying with them

Quite good position, close to the old town and to the sea.Very kind and helpful reception

Breakfast pretty poor

The owners were very sweet and my daughters and I enjoyed the breakfast served. Great location; It was very easy to get to the ferry from the hotel.

Horrible .

I left my belongings at the hotel and next day I went there to get my belongings but the staff were to rude to me and they have said that they did not see my sport bra . But I have only stayed one night and I have left my sport bra there after I had my shower. I am very disappointed and not happy . To much noise from the street and curtains are net curtains because of the day light and noise from the street impossible to sleep . I dont recommend the place.

The owners are super friendly, was a good vibe. Location is about 5 mins to marina, short nice walk. Comfy beds and good aircon nice balcony
