Apollon Hotel

Visited in May staying in 2nd floor room with balcony. The room was very clean, beds comfortable, excellent shower. Air conditioning was good. Cleaned every day. The only criticism was the wardrobe. It had plenty of shelf space but the half for hanging clothes was tiny. We did get chance to look into 2 bedroom apar**ent which had more space and bigger wardrobe. We stayed all inclusive as we got a great priced deal. The food was generally good with plenty of choice. We did eat out twice for a bit of variety. The staff were friendly and helpful and couldn't criticise in any way. The hotel is in easy walk of the beach but we stayed at the pool which had loads of sunbeds. Usual all inclusive where local based drinks are free but there was the option to pay for some well known brands. Local bars within 10 minutes and Flintstones Bar good value and friendly. You can bus into Kos Town just outside the hotel but we walked in a few times which took circa 20 mins with lots of options for coffee stop on the way. For history lovers a visit to the Roman Odeon is recommended. Across the road from that is the Hellenistic Gymnasium and a good hour can be spent exploring that. Both free. We did bus/boat trip to Nisyros and that was well worthwhile.

On arrival we received a free upgrade to a bigger room with a pool view, after such a long day travelling and arriving early hours of the morning. We really appreciated the lovely gesture, so thank you. Just be weary there are no lifts at this hotel and you were left to your own devices to find your room in one of the hotel buildings if you're not in the main reception building. Which did often involve steps to climb with your suitcase, so if you have any health concerns it would be best to request a ground floor room prior to arrival. You also have to pay for the room safe which was 3 euros per day. There is also often cats in the restaurant which people tend to feed so it proves hard to get rid of them, just to note if you have any allergy's. This did hinder me enjoying going down for food because I often could not eat it in peace. The food was not always hot however this is often the case with All Inclusive, it just depends if you can catch them when they put fresh food out. Our room was cleaned really well daily and Lambi beach is just across the road. The hotel is located close to Kos town we often walked which took about 30 minutes. If you wish to get the bus it's 1.10 euros if you pay at the kiosk in Dolphin Square (bus number 2) and you cannot miss the Dolphin fountain in the middle so its easy to spot. There is no iron available, so we traveled with a small travel iron. Poppy who works at reception was helpful. Overall a very nice hotel in a great location which made it easy to see the sights of Kos.

Stayed with friends in April 23. Hotel spotlessly clean. Well laid out. Not much to do evenins but happy to sit in the bar playung cards or reading. Drinks a bit limited and had to pay for branded alcohol. Couldnt use wifi in our room and only around the pool. Weather was a little windy, so didnt use the pool. The food was excellent, large choice and variety. All the food was well cooked, and was re-filled all the time, couldnt fault anything very happy with inclusive deal.
