Amazing stay at koala hotel 18/05/26 - 25/05/26 The hotel is situated a quiet area of Kos town The hotel is self is branded 2 star but the standards and how clean and the staff themselves easily make it a 5 star😍 shout out to Dimitrius the owner, Kristy, and Ioanna there all amazing and so so friendly and can’t do enough for you ☺️ the rooms are modern and clean, the pool area is small but is ample to chill around I loved it, there’s also a roof terrace as well which is a massive sun trap, the only down side is the pool goes shaded after 4pm Breakfast Is simple but enough for what ya need, cold and hot selections and varies changes to some of the items each day which is a nice touch The only thing of feedback I’d say is to have some more comfier sunbeds as after a while they do get uncomfortable but other than that This hotel is so worth it and it’s a family run hotel Which they make you feel like family when you stay I can’t wait to be back, defo recommend this hotel for people who wanna chill and relax ☺️

“Most friendly hotel ever?”

As a '2 star plus' hotel it is really good value, a nice location near the marina and approx 20-30 mins walk to the centre of Kos town. If you turn right out of the hotel, past the marina you can find nice little pebble beach spots. I was out each day and so it was a great base for my stay and fir… more

As a '2 star plus' hotel it is really good value, a nice location near the marina and approx 20-30 mins walk to the centre of Kos town. If you turn right out of the hotel, past the marina you can find nice little pebble beach spots. I was out each day and so it was a great base for my stay and first time to Kos town. There's a car/bike hire place next door, mini mart/ shop opposite and supermarkets 5 min walk away. There are cycle lanes covering Kos town and it is very common and good value to rent bicycles/ebikes/scooters to get around as an option. The Land of Olive restaurant over the road is a great option if you don't want to travel too far and there's a really good gyros place called Masaboukes very close too. On the neighbouring back streets there are some lovely tavernas also. Due to time of year I stayed, the hotel and resort was quite quiet- they were able to provide me with my wish to have a room with street view on 3rd floor- same floor as the sun deck, which was handy for sunbathing or golden hour relaxing. The room was basic but adequate, the shower (with shampoo and shower gel/soap) was very good and continously had hot water. You pay extra (to be expected) for safety deposit box (in reception) and air con but it worked well to keep room cool. There's a kettle and cups/glasses in room. Ample storage space for clothes etc. Bed was very comfortable and room was cleaned several times in 5 days. I had no issues with any noise, as others may have noted. Breakfast was quite limited to be fair, but again was adequate and good value, matching its star rating. There were pastries, toast, jam etc, cereal,fruit, Greek salad items, hams and cheese, boiled eggs, hot dog sausage, fried ham/bacon, baked beans. Dilute juice, hot water for tea and filter coffee (no coffee machine). The pool area is cramped but as others have noted- the pictures are accurate. From the moment I arrived to when I left for my transfer, the staff were so friendly and helpful. Shout out to Dimitris who was always happy to give advice and offer help. If you are realistic with your expectations for a 2 star plus hotel, I really cannot fault this place and I genuinely feel the family/staff were the friendliest I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend it!

“Superbly located inner city family hotel.”

Great 2 star plus hotel in a residential location near the Marina end of Kos. A warm and friendly welcome from Dimitris and Chrysanthe who run the Koala.

Great 2 star plus hotel in a residential location near the Marina end of Kos. A warm and friendly welcome from Dimitris and Chrysanthe who run the Koala. Our room was clean and well kept with a nice balcony to sit on and watch Kos life go by. Breakfast was mainly continental, with a slightly different hot option to the buffet every morning. Great to have breakfast outside, but be careful of things dropping from the palm trees! The pool area is best earlier in the day when the sun is on it, but if you want full sun then head for the roof terrace! Thanks to Ioanna for some excellent omelettes for a great light lunch, and there was always a good smile and chat with Ntinos when he took over duties through the night. As mentioned Koala is in a great location, some lovely restaurants nearby, a few minutes from the sea front, and only a gentle 20min walk into the old town and the bus station. An excellent nine day stay to enjoy Kos town and island.

“Decent Hotel with a Few Things to Be Aware Of”

We stayed at Koala Hotel as a couple for 7 nights. Overall, for the price paid, it was a decent stay and the hotel is in a good location with a nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our holiday. There are a few things worth being aware of before booking. Air conditioning costs an extra £50 per week, which we were not aware of before arriving. The cleaners leave the balcony door open after cleaning each day, meaning the room becomes extremely hot, so air conditioning felt more like a necessity than an optional extra. We booked a double bed but were given two single beds pushed together which we were disappointed by. Breakfast was basic and only runs from 7:30 to 9:30. If you arrive closer to 9am, don’t expect items to be replenished as it’s whatever is left. The pool area is pleasant, but there are limited sunbeds available and the sun moves away from the pool area around 4pm, making it best suited to mornings and early afternoons. On the positive side, every room has a fridge, which was very useful during our stay, and the Wi-Fi throughout the hotel was excellent. The hotel also offers good value for money, has a welcoming atmosphere, and is a convenient base for exploring Kos.
