This family-friendly hotel is situated in Psalidi, around 50 m from the closest pebble beach and quite close to the centre of Kos. The hotel area is surrounded by large verandas and beautiful gardens. The bus station, restaurants, shops and bars are within walking distance; the popular nightspots are just a few kilometres away.
Be sure to enjoy recreational amenities including an outdoor pool and an outdoor tennis court. This hotel also features complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services and an arcade/games room.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Just stayed here for a week. Welcoming staff members ( especially Irene of front desk.) room clean spacious cleaned daily if wanted. Polite cleaning staff . Breakfast evening meals ok. Great location close to beach harbour etc
This hotel is under new management since last year, more recent reviews are more relevant.
Reception staff have been friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure guests have a pleasant experience.
My room was unlocked when I found it. I arrived after dinner and a bag containing a small bottle of water, carton of juice and a wrap with lettuce, thin slice of cheese and slice of spam type 'meat' folded into it, had been left in my room for me. A piece of fruit would have been nice and luckily I'm not vegetarian.
There are no kettles or tea/coffee facilities in the room, I've requested one but nobody seems to know if I will receive one... There is a fridge.
The room is spacious, a bit tired and basic, with 3 beds which are hard and a good amount of furniture. I'm on the ground floor and there are lots of cats, in and around the hotel which can be heard fighting. One of them seems to have made my balcony it's home and, if I open thd door it is keen to come in. I've requested an alternative room on a higher floor. There are also hens and a cockrel running around and crowing first thing.
Breakfast was alright, if you prefer not to have cooked breakfast, options are very limited, only 3 fruit choices or tinned in syrup.
Dinner was not pleasant... the salad was OK but would have been better if there were more options available. The main course was horrible, cheap processed roast, you can guess the rest, dessert was no better, sponge piped with fake cream, highly coloured mousse and melon was the only fruit on offer. I was there soon after the restaurant opened, thankfully, because those who came later were left to clear tables so that they could eat. There were limited staff who were busy taking drinks orders then continually walked past tables needing to be cleared. It didn't look like there was anyone on clearing so I guess they are expected to do it all. The food was constantly topped up and I didn't see anything run out even though it was very busy.
The pool area looks nice enough and there were enough loungers. There's a pool bar and snack bar which I didn't try. They don't offer towels.
Although the hotel is close to the sea front, they don't seem to have an area of thd beach for guests so you have to pay for a lounger on the beach if you want one.
When we arrived in our room, there was a cat lying on our bed. We love cats, but they can carry fleas, and what if we had been allergic? It had apparently got into the room through the open balcony door. In the main area near the reception, there were old sofas. I actually saw a cat urinating on one of them. I reported it to the reception, but during the four hours we spent there waiting for our transfer, nobody cleaned or disinfected the sofa. People were still sitting on it. The food was below average and, unfortunately, nothing really tasted good. The furniture and hotel facilities were old and inadequate. The only positive thing was the swimming pool and the sun loungers. However, there were roosters running around, and their constant crowing repeatedly interrupted our sleep and relaxation. Our room was clean, but it was clearly worn and outdated. The shower/bath curtains were absolutely disgusting — yellow and stained, although they were obviously originally white. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel. There is nothing to do if you are not going to the city which is 30 minutes walk, beach that is near the hotel is small, dirty…
Had a lovely time at the Continental Palace, Kos. Friendly staff, close to the beach with a lovely spa, massage area right next to the pool. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable for my 3night stay. Met other soli travellers and felt very safe. Would recommend to friends and family.
This is our third visit and I have to say every time gets better. We had one of the newly refurbished rooms absolutely perfect with a view to take your breath away every morning. The staff are friendly and cannot do enough for you. We will be back again next year thank you x
