Pool

Firstly big shout to the staff who were excellent and worked from daylight to days end, very friendly and made you feel welcome.

Honestly, this hotel is just bang average and didn’t have that “luxury boutique/lavish” feel we have paid for other hotels on other islands within the same price point.  

Additionally, they charge extra to have wifi in the room €5 per device per day! I’m not bothered about having WiFi but more the principle, for the price you pay you would expect wifi as standard.

They also charge extra to have a safe in your room! And wait for it… THEY CHARGE FOR POOL TOWELS?!

On the other hand the hotel is Very clean and tidy but the rooms were basic, thin walls so you could hear everything going on around you and our room was next to the cleaner’s store so from 0630 hrs onwards there was quite a bit of noise, but you can’t blame them they’re just doing their job.  Rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels and beds made up.

Someone described the pool area as “beautiful” which would be an exaggeration; plenty of sunbeds but no mattresses on the sun beds, but possibly beautiful if you like stark brutalist architecture with no atmosphere, the bar area is okay but it all feels a bit sparse and sterile.

I cannot in good faith recommend this hotel unless you’re paying about £70 per night.

Yours sadly 

Donald Holiday.

Basic hotel lacking atomsphere

Really lovely hotel, down a little dusty road so not sure what your getting, but once it came into sight it was lovely. one of the cleanest hotels ive ever been to, opened in 2019 but looks brand new, we had bedding and towels changed every day , had a little garden area with sunbeds, its an adults only hotel, it did lack a bit of atmosphere as it was so quiet, but if thats what your looking for then  its ideal, the walk into Kos town was about 30mins, taxi's are not reliable so i would recommend the walk, across the road from the hotel is Lambi beach and Milos beach club where the food was really well priced with free sunbeds if you eat or drink there. Bike hire is available everywhere if your into that. all in all I would return to this hotel.

Lovely Hotel

Just back from a week’s stay and overall it’s fab but there are some things that were a bit frustrating. 
What was good.  Pretty good location, 20 mins walk to Lambi Beach and Kos Town. The other way (left out of the hotel’s road) is the sea but the beach is pretty non-existent.  A few bars close by and a supermarket just 10 mins down the road.  The hotel is very clean, staff are great and nothing is too much trouble.  The bar staff know their cocktails and don’t scrimp on the ingredients.  The room size (deluxe suite) was great, plenty of choice at breakfast and the pool offers a really relaxing space.  The hotel also offers free bike hire for a day when you arrive which is a good opportunity to have a look around the locale to get your bearings.  
What could be better.  Well, it’s called a Boutique hotel which it is by size but it doesn’t really feel like a more personalised place compared to a big chain hotel. It provides no toiletries (despite saying it does on the website) and the pool towels have to be paid for and there’s tea and coffee in the room but no milk. Only one key per room which is unusual and we didn’t ask for a second because there were charges for lots of things so we didn’t risk it. None of those are the end of the world but it’s the little things.  Something that was frustrating was that it was impossible not to drench the entire bathroom when having a shower.  There is no door on the shower so it just soaked the whole room.  Another minor frustration is that there is no shower room that can be used after check-out.  It’s 80 Euros for a late check-out room which is expensive, but clearly what the hotel would prefer. 
However, the most annoying part is that in the main building where our room was, every door, and I mean every door, slams and it literally shakes the room.  The staff start coming in and out using the door at the car park end at 6am and it’s a constant stream of slamming. It’s almost impossible to shut the room door too without pulling it firmly as well.  It would be so easy to add a soft-close to the door the staff use because It’s understood that they have their hands full when they go in and out.  

Despite all the above, we enjoyed our stay, Kos is great and you can’t beat the weather.   The hotel has what you need for a great stay. 

 Not the end of the world but it’s the little things. That said we knew about the towels before we went.

Clean, chilled, great staff but the doors……..

The rooms are clean and tidy and I'm afraid that's where it ends.
The pics of the hotel are misleading as it shows a huge pool, it's very small!
The bar area is always empty as it has no facilities at all to keep guests there so we didn't stay either. Overpriced drinks and not much choice at all.
The hotel doesn't even have an iron at all, so can't even get the basics right!
This is definitely NOT a 4 star hotel, I would say 2 star at best as it's a good way from the nearest beach and Kos town.
Upon leaving and checking out don't expect to get a shower room before your flight. I asked and was told it was 60 euros to keep our room till 6pm and our flight is at 12am
They told me to use the shower next to the pool! How rude can you be!
Anyway we had a great time in Kos but if you want a nice hotel, DON'T choose this one!

Basic, definitely NOT 4 star - Avoid!

Very bad experience with this hotel booked via Booking . The reservation was not taken into account and the receptionist was not competent to find a solution apart from saying that they had no booking and no room! We waited 1 hour to finally have a room . The room was not compatible at all with the website pictures . No window in the room. Awful decoration .gloomy atmosphere  . Industrial breakfast . None of our requests has been taken into considération . Hotel to avoid

VERY BAD EXPÉRIENCE

The small and friendly hotel is located in the Lambi area of Kos, only 150 m from the beach and within 20 minutes walking from Kos town with its harbour. The airport is 24 km away. Features of the hotel include 24-hour reception, free WIFI in the lobby, restaurant, bar, outdoor pool, children's pool, playground and sports facilities.
All the clients of Boheme can use all the facilities of Apollon hotel including all inclusive program without any additional charge
