Kos Palace

What an amazing place , the staff were so wonderful , the reception staff , cleaning staff and snack bar and bar absolutely great.the rooms were comfortable and clean and the pool amazing. One small point is if the breakfasts could be hot as all the food was tepid. I would highly recommend this hotel and really hope to return asap thank you.

Kos palace is 4 star probably a 3 + star in reality great pool, great beach .yes a 30 walk to the resort centre but lovely stroll along the beach if your not in a rush. Breakfast good variety evening meal the same best thing not the normal stampede did not seem overly busy .snack bar for lunch etc excellent chicken gyros 5 euros. A special mention for all the staff who really friendly and helpful especially all those involved in helping to us to have a birthday celebration for our grandson they really went above and beyond overall we would recommend for those seeking a relaxed beachfront holiday only one negative no tea/coffee making facilities in room

So the Kos Palace is no Palace, I'm shocked it's rated 4 star, at best it's 3 star, don't get me wrong for the most part we enjoyed our 10 days here but... we booked a family room, first mistake - above our room is the roof, on the roof there are air conditioning units ( well that's what i think it was ) from 4am through 8pm the humming noise was so loud the family room with the kitchen in was unsleepable so we all had to use the bedroom, luckily there was a double and single bed in there, the noise was insane, it could be heard in the bedroom but was much better, there was an electric hot plate with two rings but one knife, 1 fork, 1 plate and absolutely nothing else, not a major issue as we bought a travel kettle and cups with us and we had no intention of cooking, just thought it was ridiculous, the room was tired - Shower riser rail broken so the shower head could not be raised at all, toilet roll holder falling off the wall, no plugs in basin or bath, plug sockets came out of walls when you pulled the plugs out, overall it really needs some TLC, we never had evening meals here but the reviews from people we met were not good so i wouldn't take half board, the public transport to town was rubbish and on one occasion the bus just carried on past us, every 1 1/2 hours so not regular enough, the reviews make you think it's walkable to town which to be fair it is about 30 mins but in 38 degree heat it is not walkable, some evenings we had no choice other than to walk back to the hotel, don't get me started on Taxis OMG I've never stayed anywhere this bad, the hotel would call you one if they can but the response would be maybe 1/2 hour but most likely won't turn up, from KOS harbor you have to queue like we did in the 80's-90's at the one Taxi rank there is no other way, On the positive side the Pool is really big and a very nice spot, the staff are all really lovely and the breakfast is definitely worth getting up for, on most days the sunbeds were not fully occupied and there is never a rush, beds were always available up to 10-11 if not all day, all in all we had a nice holiday but that's mainly due to us being easy going, we definitely would not return or recommend this hotel, i am really surprised at the Tripadvisor overall review rating for this hotel to be honest.

I really enjoyed my 10 night stay here. The location was great; right on the beach and only a 20 minute walk to the strip which was flat so easy to walk. There was also a bus stop right outside the hotel for the strip, excursions or Kos town. The food was average, lots of variety but I found most foods to be too salty so ate ice cream every night. I had an encounter with a staff member who kept staring and directing comments at me which made me uncomfortable but every other staff member I came across was super friendly and happy to help. The pool was clean and the garden area surrounding it was lovely and quiet. I had a garden room and had a beautiful view of the mountains behind the hotel which I will leave below.

Location: Well situated along the northern coast away from the bustle of Tingaki. Room: Spacious and comfortable garden view on third floor. Bed comfortable but need to take a kettle plus tea and coffee? Food: What you would expect with buffet choices and quality and range OK Pool and beach: Pool area OK but plenty of garden area. Beach a fab feature albeit narrow. Donut Man outstanding! Entertainment: .None with truly blessed relief from hawkers, jolly entertainment people or excursion sellers. Paradise! Staff: Great team throughout from Reception to the cooks and cleaners, This is not a 5 star hotel and does not pretend to be - but it does offer a great experience.
