Agia Paraskevi-kirken

Hadde et veldig fint opphold på Hermes hotell. De som driver det er utrolig hyggelige og gjør alt for at du skal trives på oppholdet. Frokosten er veldig god. Den inkluderte maten er enkel, men de har mye annet å velge mellom til en liten penge. To ganger i uka er det også middagsbuffé man kan være med på. Hjemmelaget gresk mat som smaker utrolig godt!

We stayed at this hotel in July with two rooms. It is a beautiful 5-star property with great architecture and two nice pools. The location close to Kos town can be both a plus and a minus. Service in the restaurant and at breakfast was excellent, and the food and breakfast were truly 5-star quality. Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives. We had serious issues with ants and cockroaches in one room. Three times we found large cockroaches, and the hotel’s response was very poor. We were simply told this was to be expected, given a spray, and advised not to use too much as it was unhealthy. Only after four days and three incidents were we finally moved to another room. Ant problems were also handled unprofessionally. At check-in we were told we had been upgraded, which was not correct, since we had already paid for the upgrade. This is not a real beach hotel – the beach is 300–400 meters away, stony, and very crowded. Sunbeds are packed tightly, umbrellas cannot be adjusted, and you may end up in shade most of the day. Both at the pools and beach, guests reserve sunbeds with towels hours before using them, which is very frustrating. Overall: a beautiful hotel, but our experience of such an expensive 5-star stay was far below expectations. We will not return.

Nice hotel with modern rooms away from the busy town. It has it's private beach club area with tasteful and clean drinks.
