Blue Lagoon City Hotel

"Firstly, I would like to say that I think Cindy’s review and low score is harsh. This is a very nice and well run small boutique hotel. The location of it is excellent. It’s very central for everything. It’s not in the most picturesque area but its position ticked all my boxes for distance you had to walk to the town centre, the old town and the harbour front, all only 5 mins and flat to. The FREE breakfast is very good with ample choice of hot, cold, continental and a variety of egg options too. It’s a modern hotel with excellent internal lounge and bar and also an excellent pool bar with high quality brands and good cocktail choices. Prices are reasonable to considering it’s a 4 star hotel. Hotel standards are never the best in Greece and I would say this was probably a 3. /. 4 stars. All the staff are very very pleasant and helpful and always have a smile for you. All of them speak good English. The hotel gets numerous return visitors which speaks for itself. The standard of the rooms is very good with ample storage and excellent large flat screen tv. If you are sun worshippers then there is restricted areas for you around the beautiful clean pool and surrounding area. This is due to shaded areas and I would imagine probably sun bed wars at peak times of the year. We were there in mid October and never ever had an issue getting sun beds in the sun. The pool area was quiet. The hotel is definitely an adults only hotel and doesn’t cater for kids. They would be board ! In my opinion it should be advertised as an adult only hotel. There was no evening entertainment in October, but when you eating out every night this isn’t a problem. Kos town is a great holiday resort and the eating out options are fantastic. Within 5 mins walk of the hotel there is a massive choice of restaurants. We found an absolute gem called “Petrino” which you must try. Just google it for details. Also “ Alberto’s” which is a 15 min flat walk but well worth it. Tables on the beach and wonderful food. Happy to answer any questions you may have but one thing for certain. We will deffo be back next September / October. Small supermarket right outside the hotel and it’s one of the cheapest to."

"I'd skip this one. The hotel is just ok. Not great. The breakfast has very limited options. You will need to put a deposit down on towels for the pool and you can only exchange them every 2 days. Rooms are clean and about what you'd expect. Staff is not really friendly and the hotel seems geared to German tourists (signage and menus are in Greek, English and German) Many staff didn't speak Greek - we've been going to Greece every year for many years and this was a first!"

"Lovely hotel a short 10 minute walk from the harbour. Staff are all friendly and the rooms are cleaned and towels changed every day. Higher rooms are better as there is nothing much you can see at lower levels. They have a lift, but you can just about get two people in, and you can negotiate a suitcase or two if you breathe in. The room we had was spacious with plenty of space for clothes, and to put suitcases out of the way. The room comes with a free safe as well. Room needed a small bit of maintenance in that we had a wobbly toilet seat, and the door to the fridge fell off, so needed to repair that. Nice pool area, but you have to move around during the day if you want to sun yourself all day."
