Captains Hotel

THE CAPTAINS HOTEL

I stayed at this hotel a few years ago now and I have to say it was proberbly the worst holiday I have had. Although the staff were very friendly and did their best I found the lack of entertainment made the holiday boring. Also sharing the pool with the other hotel became a bit of a problem because me and a friend would be in the pool minding our own buisness playing bat and ball and all we got was complaints. I was here for 2 weeks and after 3 days I wanted to come home. I would recommend this hotel for people who are looking for a quite holiday. Its definatly not for the teenage age group.

My husband and I have just returned from 2 weeks at the Captains.  What a clean, friendly place.  The bedding was changed every other day, and the towels were fresh every day.  The staff couldn't do enough for us. Although the rooms were small, we found them quite adequate. What a pleasant change to be allowed to take breakfasts to room to eat on the balcony, and to be able to bring our own food in when we felt like it. Manos even offered to make tea when we arrived at 6 in the morning.  We'll definatley come back to the Captains.

I have just returned from a week at the Captains Hotel with my wife, son and girlfriend. Our first impression of the hotel was not very good and unfortunately this was true for the remainder of the accommodation too. As we sized the hotel exterior up and down and walked into the reception area we all looked at each other in astonishment and disappointment. It can best be described as something out a 1970’s pub decorated with ships, anchors and dark wooden panelling…I’m sure you get the picture.

I have visited the Greek Island for eleven years or so and Kos four times in that period. I can quite honestly say this was the worst accommodation that I have stayed in.

Dislikes:

1. Dark dingy décor (1970’s mock sailing theme)
2. Balcony too small to sit comfortably
3. Very small rooms
4. Storage dire
5. Breakfast choice poor
6. Bathroom…dirty, broken tiles, smell. (We bought a bottle of bleach to clean)
7. Noise late at night and workmen early morning

Likes:

1. Staff were friendly
2. Pool (although shared with the hotel opposite)

Three other parties, including ourselves, complained to the Rep who after prompting managed to find alternate accommodation with availability but at an additional cost of 300Euro. We decided to stay as we were now three days into our holiday with only four days remaining.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND CAPTAINS HOTEL, KOS TOWN
