Olympic Kosmas Hotel- Hanioti

Spent just two nights there but already looking forward to going there again. The hosts, dear Athanasios and Gregory, were some of the friendliest and most welcoming people we’ve seen. Really thankful that they helped us immensely with the small unlucky car accident we had prior to arriving there. Beyond being personally thankful, the room and facilities were very clean so that we could feel very comfortable. The breakfast was also quite nice and the hotel also had tables on the balcony so we got to enjoy our breakfast with a calming scenery of the sea and a nice piece of traditional greek music. We had dinner at the hotel one evening and enjoyed it quite a lot as well. Another nice thing is that the hotel had sunbeds and umbrellas at the beach so that we could get away with carrying less stuff to the beach. Overall, would really recommend it if you’re looking for a calming and peaceful holiday.

A hotel with a nice indoor pool, decent rooms and good facilities. On the hottest days, you can really relax by the pool with food and drinks and then head to the beach later for sunset. The staff are friendly, and the fact that the hotel is run by a Greek family adds a nice, authentic touch — seeing the family around the hotel, at breakfast and during events makes the atmosphere more welcoming. The biggest highlight for us was the Greek live music night on Thursdays. It was an excellent idea: local Greek musicians, great music and a really enjoyable and authentic evening. Huge praise for organizing this — it definitely improved our overall impression of the hotel.

There were a few downsides. Our room was on the top floor, probably one of the newer rooms, but unfortunately it was possibly the worst positioned room on that floor, overlooking a large metal roof. The roof gets extremely hot during the day, making the room much hotter, while the all other rooms have much better views. Maybe we simply weren’t lucky, but paid the same price as guests staying in the rooms with the best views, but it is also possible that this is related to booking through Booking.com. You should definitely check which room you are actually getting, as the representative photos show the better rooms, while the room you receive can be quite different. The hotel has no private parking, so during peak season it is very difficult to find a spot nearby. On weekends, when the area was completely full, we had to park quite far from the hotel. The breakfast was very basic, limited and almost exactly the same every day. This is definitely an area where the hotel could improve. Additionally, we were charged extra environmental taxes on arrival, even though it was stated during booking process that all taxes were included. This should be clarified in advance.

I liked everything: the room very big and clean, the distance from the beach

The breakfast could be more diversified

The room was beyond amazing and the balcony overlooked the pool. The air con was much appreciated, the bathroom was stunning, room was cleaned daily with bedding and towels refreshed every other day. Breakfast was varied each day with lots of choices. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing.
