Iris Hotel

There is nothing about this hotel I could fault we had a fantastic two weeks. The hotel is family run and has that family feel. We were lucky enough to have a newly refurbished room which was outstanding and better than most 4* hotels we have stayed in. I've never stayed anywhere with such an outstanding maid service. The rooms are cleaned every day and the ladies are just adorable, all part of the family. The pool area is clean and tidy with a great pool. On the whole there are plenty of sunbeds but they could do with just a handful more to help but we never had a problem, of course there are the ignorant people who put towels down but don't appear until after lunch grrrrrrr... we ate at the bar a few times and the food was really good, the breakfast buns are particularly good !! Great range of drinks and prices similar to the main resorts. Location wise it was perfect for us. Five minute walk to the main footpath/beach that takes you one way to Kos town and another way to Psalidi.. Psalidi has a cocktail bar and a handful of very good restaurants. The walk to Kos is around 20-30 minutes but it's a lovely walk. There is a bike hire shop in the grounds of the hotel, this is well worth the few Euro's, you can cover miles in a short time and the cycle paths make this a very safe way to get around, you can see so much more of the area. The hotel also organised car hire for us, the car was dropped off and picked up, no hassle. Nothing seems a bother for anyone in this hotel, always happy to help. Other reviews mention their BBQ night on a Monday, this is a must. It's a big family affair, all their extended family come along and it's a proper Greek knees up, really great fun and the home made food is some of the best you will taste. Already looking to book up for next year !

Just come back from a lovely two week stay here with my children. Very friendly staff and clean apartments. The rooms are cleaned daily. Accomadation is basic but there is a plenty to eat downstairs and restaurants near by. The only down fall was sunbed availability around the pool area, I advise a early start if you wish to spend the day at the pool. The shop is literally across the road so everything you need is at hand. You can walk into town, it's around a 30 min walk but there is also a bus to and from which is pretty straight forward. Beach is ten minutes walk away also. All in all value for money and a lovely place.
