This hotel is owned and managed by Fania (mother) and her family. The room was tidy and clean upon arrival, and cleaned daily. Everything in the apartment was intact and working, which is always a plus. The apartments have dual balconies, one to the east and west, so you get both the sunset and sunrise, as well as the fantastic Greek sun. As far as amenities go, the apartment had everything needed to cook food, plus refrigeration/freezer, water boiler, and silverware. The family was incredibly considerate in making my stay the best it could be, going far beyond being just a sleeping spot. I truly recommend this hotel, it is 2min from the bus station and grocery store, 5 minutes to the beach/harbor, and located with enough space from the main road to give you some "breathing room" from all the tourists. Also, the nearby fortress is just 45min walk each way, and well worth the hike to see a 360* view of the island. If you want more luxurious amenities, like a resort-like experience, you can go to the vast number of tourist hotels which only host foreigners, but that is not why I came to Greece. I came to experience the island of Kos and the Greek culture, and I needed a nice place to stay. If you are looking for a great deal, without a lot of "fluff", this is a perfect fit.
