Hermes Hotel

Excellent hotel very clean and tidy great location ,restaurants a short walk down the hill lots off choice , I would recommend a quad to get to some off the beaches well worth it .

I can't agree with the negative review about the staff. We found them very friendly and helpful. We came across this hotel last year by chance and were impressed enough to come back again this year. Diane, the owner, is now back at the helm after illness last year and it's undoubtedly stepped up a notch. The rooms are spotless and cleaned every day. Yes the shower is small but many of the reviews point this out so if you've done a bit of research you won't be surprised; and note to negative poster - try pointing the shower head down. Good Greek breakfast, nice pool which gives you lengths of about 20 metres. The prices at the main bar and the pool bar are very reasonable and you don't feel ripped off. Dimitri, the barman come night manager, is very helpful and if you arrive late can order food in for you from local restaurants. We usually eat in the old town and Ilias (local butcher who now runs his own restaurant ; tip if you don't like meat it's probably not your thing) and Maistrali (Greek restaurant where locals also eat) will send a car to collect you and take you home. NB it's a bit of a hill to walk up, but the main danger is from lunatic tourists on quad bikes going too fast. Many other restaurants lower down on the tourist *****. It may not suit everyone's taste - let's face it the world would be boring if we all liked the same thing - but we'll go back.

We are just about to fly home after a very memorable 10 night stay in Kos at The Hermes hotel. Everyone there was so very friendly. A special mention to Diana who we had a last minute check photo with & to the barman who recommended two top restaurants to us. The hotel was very clean & welcoming. We were pleasantly surprised by the daily maid service (apart from Sundays). The family run resort gives it a real cosy inviting feel to it. It is up a bit of a hill but apart from that is in a good location. I would highly recommend a car/quad bike in this area to get out & about. The roads out there make the driving quite easy apart from when finding Cavo Paradiso beach!!

Good value Hotel....All the staff and owners are very friendly and helpful speaking good English. Very clean and well kept rooms, brand new mattresses fitted to all rooms while we where there, pool is pretty good quite large and clean. Breakfast is a pretty basic affair bread, toast, hard boiled eggs cold meat and cheese, yogurt etc typical continental + tea coffee etc fresh and plentiful. If you have problems walking upstairs ask for a lower room at time of booking!! as some of the rooms have a quite long set of stairs to access No lifts, but have great views, the bar is not loud late at night. A good base for exploring the island plenty of parking for rental cars and quads etc car rental is easy and plentiful in Keflalos.
