My daughter, sister inlaw and my self spent a lovely two weeks at the Angela in August 2007,the weather was fab! As for some of the other comments on this web page YES the cooking facilities are basic but who wants to cook while on holiday when you can go across the road and eat George's (I recommend the beef stifado) and as for cleanliness, the maid comes in every other day to clean,change the beds and towels.(what more more do you want)

Not long home after 2 weeks at the Angela Aparments, Tingaki. I was a little worried to say the least after reading all the negative reviews on this site. However, I have to say most of them are old ones and not from this year.
I went to tingaki 2 yrs ago and im going back on the 4th aug. Me and my friend are staying at the angela annex i have been reading lots of your reviews and im still just wondering if this particular part of hotel is nice. Do they have balconies? Does anyone know if the nice people everyones talking about are still running it?
We have just come back from a fantasic two weeks here niki and george friendly and nice as ever. My partner was worried re some of previous comments regarding the hotel being cleaned but she was over the moon yea there is only one cleaner but she is fantastic. Theo well he just the bubbly theo as always made you feel welcome nothing two much trouble. Hillary kept the pool area perfect through out the day and the toaties were brill will be returning once again next year which will make it five years in a row anyone want any other info just send me message and will return a message to you one thing will comment is the rep holly was crap wasnt interested in us because i had been here before we were given our flight details two hours before we were due to leave so dont waste much of your time with her. best place to eat is munchies if you go down there and see elaine and lorraine tell them big man dazs recommened you and they will look after you best home cooked food going. and of course best bar is mascots they will look after you well and tubby broon is best might out.
There is a Pool at this accomodation it is absolutly clean by Theo and Hillary. There is also a Kiddies pool as well.
I have just come back from Kos and stayed at these absoutly brilliant clean appartments. Nikki and Gearge made me feel very welcome. Theo and Hillary who ran the bar are really lovely funny people we had a right laugh together. rrrrrrrrrrrrrr kavliaris I am going to try and come back in September As I really enjoyed myself here. The Full breakfast was the best on the island. Thank you Theo Hillary kikki george and the cleaner for looking after me. Ill be be back
I would not advise anybody to go to the Angela apartments. We have just returned from our 3rd year at athe Angela and the standard of cleanliness has fallen due to the maid having to clean all the rooms on her own due to Nicky being too mean to hire someone to help her. We were diapponted in the bar staff as they were not friendly and helpfull. We did not keep our room on for the last night but went somewhere else as it was cheaper. Nicky did not even say goodbye to us when we left. Nicky only speaks to guests who spend money at the bar and pay 35 euros to keep their room on for the last night. It will be our last time at the Angela but not our last time in Tingaki. e have found other accomodation which is far nicer, cleaner and friendly.
My husband and I have just returned from Kos. It has been the third time at the Angela apartments and it will certainly be our last. We were very dissapointed to find that the rooms were not as clean as previous years. We found outh reason for this and it was due to the maid having to clean all the aprtments on her own without any help. we felt very sorry for her as she is such a nice person. The staff at the pool bar were very unfriendly and not helpfull. When we asked the girl at the bar about fresh towels, all she could say was it was nothing to do with her as she only attended to the bar. In previous years we have found the staff very friendly and helpfull. On the last evening of our holiday we sat beside the pool bar and the owner, Nicky did not even chat to us or say goodbye. In previous years she appeared friendly, but we have now realised if you don't spend money at the pool bar or pay 35 euros to keep the room on for the last evening she has no time for you. We will be returning to Kos, but certainly not at the Angela apartments.
My husband I have just returned from our holiday in Kos. It has been our third time staying at the Angelaapartments and will be our last. The staff at the pool bar were very unfriendly and also unhelpfull when we asked about fresh towels. We were told that they were only there to look after the bar and not guest problems. The staff in previous years were very friendly and helpfull and we spent a lot of time at the pool bar because we had such a laugh with the bar staff.

We have just come from a 2 week holiday at Angelas and we loved it.
Theo and Hilary are great and made us feel really welcome they really made our holiday.
We would come back now given half a chance and would love to come back next year if Theo and Hilary are still there.
Thanks Again
and keep in touch

Just spent 2x weeks at the ANGELA Apartments although they were very
Angela Apartments are in the perfect location. Just up the road from the main part of the town (a 5 minute walk away) and just over 5 minutes to walk to the beach. The pool is nice and clean and the bar staff are friendly. The apartments are cleaned regularly and the maid even tidies up the mess you make! My only complaint is the shower head it sprays water everywhere!
If you are visiting Tingaki and don't mind basic self-catering i recommend Angela Apartments as the place to stay!

Thanks Rosemary,
Hi Jason
We had a fantastic holiday and I would like to express a big THANKYOU to Hilary and Theo. They were fantastic hosts, cooked lovely snack food and always there to lend a helping hand. We had a great time.
Hi, stayed at the Angela Apartments last week and the only complaint is that for self catering their untensils and crockery are sparce. Basic is basic. 2 plates, 2 glasses, 2 mugs, 2 cutlery sets etc. Not sure when the owners where supposed to be around to man the reception area, the rep couldn't tell us either as it appears to have changed from last year but we got by.
Hi Guys
Thanks both Jet and Jason for your comments. We have found them really helpful.
Hi Amy
Hi Amy
hi guys well we are coming back to kos in august this year for our honeymoon!!!
We have just returned from the Angela Apartments and would like to make a comment regarding one or two things that have previously been said.
Just returned from our third stay at the Angela and once again had a fab time. Really didn't want to leave. Lorraine and Elaine who work behind the bar are nuts - what a laugh we had with them!! Food was excellent, music was excellent - in fact have to say everything about this place is excellent. We managed to keep our room on until 11pm which was great - seems to be easier to do this on a Saturday than on a Wednesday for some reason. Really hope the girls will be there next year cos we'll definately be back. Would recommend the Angela to everyone.
Hi Caroline you can keep your room till the evenning but it will cost extra. The girls at the Apartments are great. Hope you have a brill time.
I AM STAYING AT THE ANGELA APARTMENTS IN TINGAKI IN AUGUST AND NEED TO KNOW IF WE CAN KEEP OUR ROOM UNTIL LATER IN THE EVENING.
Hi there sam and melissa we are definately coming back again, missing all the crew, been lovely and hot in sunny Leominster but would prefer to be on the beach or by the pool in Tingaki, see u all soon Love michelle and katy xxxx
Hi Denise! And Michelle and Katy! Hope you are all well! Me and Sam are bored in Saffron Walden and missing The Angela Apts!!!! Still, must save for another trip to the lovely island of Kos! Take care! xxx
- Hi Denise its michelle and katy glad u had a good holiday hope to see u again some time in Tingaki
we stayed in the angelas apartment on the 13/07/2004 it was great ,our room did not get cleand every morning because we did not wake up in time!The people in tigaki are lovely.Nicky the lady who owns the hotel was great to us. We met some great people.we have booked the same time this year 13/07/2005 at the same hotel. iv any body is thinking of going to tigaki book the angelas apartment.
Stopped at Angela Apartments they were great clean and tidy all times. Elaine & Lorraines 1st year there and we were the 1st lot to stay with them. Well what can I say they are great couldnt wish for better people really made our holiday. Highly recommend u stay here. Michelle & Katy xx
My friend and I (both 24 and female) have just come back from 2 weeks in Tingaki and had a BRILLIANT holiday! We stayed at the Angela Hotel (owned by a very friendly Greek lady-Nicky) which was fairly basic but better than some Greek accommodation I have stayed in! We were lucky enough to have a big room (no.37) with a double and a single bed in and still had plenty of space! We also had a TV but only one or two English channels. The girls, Elaine and Lorraine, who work at the 'Angela' were absolutely the best people you could ever meet! They couldn't do enough for you and were always happy and smiling! The rooms were cleaned once or twice a week and bins emptied and new towels changed every other day! For those of you who have a night flight on the way back there is an option to pay more to keep your room, I think it was about 35 euros.
stayed at the angela apartments in june 04 and the annexe in sept 04. the apartments were the best by far. annexe was clean enough but could do with upgrading. Angela is a great place to stay, pool area small but clean and very friendly.Bar snacks are excellant. Only down side are the showers - floor gets very wet and slippy. Nikki the owner is really helpful and friendly.
We stayed in the annex apartments which were very basic but very clean,
there was some noise but after a while you get use to it. the people that run
the Apartments are very nice and frendly and if you need any thing they will
help you out it is well situated and is only 5min from beach
Angela apartments are run by a family and own the large restuarant with the fountain in the front opposite the apartments. the people that own the apartments are lovely and i recommend the food in the restaurant too. apartments situated on main road down to the beach so some noise maybe heard. pool is a good size but not much room to sun bath around it. all in all a pleasant accommodation
the angela apartments suited our needs, plenty of places to eat and drink the only let down was the attitude of tracy when asked for breakfast. but this is her last year there nicky is very friendly and helpful. hope to go back next year 2005
Just returned from two weeks in the Angela booking via Olympic Holidays. The room I had at Angela Apartments was more than usually spacious for this type of Greek accommodation and in a good state of repair. Nice touches were satellite TV, aircon (5 Euros per day extra, I didn't need it at the end of August), shower curtain, flyscreen, substantional safety deposit box (20 Euros for two weeks - not as much of a ripoff as other places we have stayed) and electric kettle.
Like others I found buying your own loo rolls a bit cheeky, but at least there was a notice warning you about this (rather than finding out when you reach for the spare that isn't there).
The pool bar, the family-owned taverna opposite and the family-owned supermarket next door were all a bit pricey, but I found both Nikki and Tracey helpful and friendly. The pool itself was not very good - small and water a bit murky, with limited lounger space and right by the main road (there was a screen but this cut out the breeze). I went to the excellent town beach most days.
Generally being on the main road was an advantage. The apartments are mainly at the back and most of the bars and tavernas are close by. The bus stop for Kos Town is 1 minute away and the beach is ten minutes away. (Some of the other Olympic accommodation was well out of town.)
Olympic's excursions were overpriced. Like others I found the excellent English-staffed Theokratis Travel helpful, efficient and much better value.
We spent 1 week at the Angela apartments in August, had wonderful weather, the rooms are very basic, too scared to use the electrical products due to the fact that the plugs were hanging off the walls! Rooms were comfortable, just a base to sleep really. The bar at angela was more expensive than the local bars and taverna so it is worth going out down the road and you get better service at a cheaper price and more comfortable chairs. Nikki was fairly friendly, the only down side was, as long as someone is spending money at nikkis bar, doesnt matter what time it is, it will remain open, and they are very noisey, would recomend hiring the aircon in your room, not just to keep you and your faily cool, but also to drown out the noise levels, dont get me wrong im use to noise i live in london but when you are on holiday with your faily you dont need to hear that level of noise till 4am in the morning, on a regular basis, again thank god for the aircon, all in all Tigiki was lovely , beach beaitiful, saltlake picturesqe, got to go to Zia to see the sunset. I would go again to Tigiki.
To Gee:re Saturday night accommodation at the Angela. You can stay on till 7pm in your room for 15Euro, or till 11pm for 35Euro. Pay the owner in room 1.We found it well worth it to stay till 11, then you can have a 'proper' last day!Hope you have a good time!
If we stayed here could we have the room for the last Saturday of our stay, please, as the flight is not till 5am on the Sunday. Please let me know how much to have the room for the extra time.
Many thanks
Stayed at the Angela Apartments from 17-7-04 until 01-08-04. Very nice apartments, pool was nice too and the staff at the snack bar were very friendly.
Just come back after 2 weeks at the Angela 08/04. We had a great holiday and will come back to Kos. Tingaki was the best resort for us- not too mad, more than enough bars and tavernas, and a lovely long beach.The Angela's location was just right - set back from the road, a little way out from the centre. Cleanliness was reasonable, but they only supplied 1 loo roll (between 2 for 2 weeks!!!!) so you have to buy some!There's a big supermarket just up the road. It was fairly quiet, except when new guests arrive at dawn, shouting and dragging their cases up the steps. It all echoes and everyone has their windows open, so if you are going....please have a bit of consideration when you arrive!
Stayed at these apartments for one week from 28th July to 4th August. Have to agree that Nikki was most helpful and friendly. However, the apartment was only cleaned twice that week and not very thoroughly at that. I have been to the Greek Islands 3 time before so it was a bit of a shock to have to supply your own toilet paper - never had that before. Also Tracey the Canadian lady who works behind the bar was a bit unfriendly and it put my friend and I off so we spent most of our time in the local bars where the friendliness of the staff can't be faulted.
Had the most fantastic holiday in the Angela Apts. Usually a beach person but the atmosphere around the pool area was too much to resist. Everyone is very friendly, especially Nikki who is really lovely and very helpful. We found the food at the pool bar was excellent - english breakfasts every morning and you have to try their club sandwiches (to die for). Have read reports about the apts being very basic but have to disagree. Couldn't find one fault with the Angela and am definitely returning for a week in September. If you're reading this Nikki, Donna and I had a fantastic time and can't thank you enough as you added to one of the best holidays we have ever had. See you September - make sure you've got plenty red vodka!!!
Just got back from 2 weeks at the Angela. What a fantastic place to stay. 10 mins from the beach and Nikki is the "hostest with the mostest". Her milk shakes are the best on the island! The apartments were clean and we were lucky enough to have the option of air con as well. The pool is inviting but cold so be warned. Am planning to go back next year - we had that much of a good time.
Just got back after a two week stay at Angela appartments. Nice enough appartments. The rooms were very clean and typically greek...one hob and missing cuttlery, but fine if u intend eating out every night. Avoid room no 1 if you want a good nights sleep...its right above the bar which has no closing time!!!! We were kept awake until 3 and 5am most nights. Other than the lack of sleep everything else was brilliant. It is in an ideal location, close to the beach and restaurants. Would recommend that you take a driving licence so that you can hire a quad bike to look round the island!
Stayed in Angela Apts from 16th June 2004 for 1 week. Could not rate these Apartments and the owner Nikki highly enough. Had a superb holiday. The pool area was small but really good atmosphere and everyone was so friendly. The apartments had really good location - about 10mins walk from beach. The breakfast and snacks served at Angela were great - we had breakfast and lunch everday for a week!Anyone booked for Angela Apartments will have a great time. Defo would return - 2morrow!!! Tingaki and Angela together make great recipe for fantastic holiday with something to suit everyone.
We are booked to stay at the Socrates apartments - part of the Angela /annexe/ socrates. Has anyone stayed at the Socrates - I believe it's he ne above the supermarket. We have previously stayed at the Angela, but not the Socrates and would lke to know cleanliness, noise, facilities etc. Thanks
I need to know the e-mail address of the Hotel Angela please.
we went to tigaki in june and allthough there where a lot of cockroches it was an enjoyable stay a minutes walk from the beach is the angela appartments they are clean comftable and quiet i cant comment on the noise from the bar at night as i was making all the noise sorry all!!!! :-) nikki is a freindky helpfull lady and will make u feel very welcome wether u r young single married old g*y straight what ever shes lovley she also gives you advise on where to go and what to do all u have to do is ask having fair hair i burnt to a crisp and bill from the super market gave me some aloe vera cream to ease the burning and they told me all there trade secrets like putting greek youghart on ur skin this cools the blisters so all in all i had a brill holiday i went with my whole familey but nikki also made the singles and couples feel verry welcome too i would recomend it to n e 1 the beach near by is said to be second to the one and only paradise beach so u couldnt ask for a better location have a good holiday!!!!
We have just returned from a week at the Angela Apartments. We found the apartments to be more than adequate for a 1 or 2 week holiday although the standard was a little below what we have had before in Greece.
These apartments are in the ideal location, however can be a little noisy at night if guests are drinking at the bar!
Overall the apartments are ideal if you want something close to the bars and restaurants but not too close....
We have just returned home from what I can only say was the worst accomodation I have ever stayed in. I have visited quite a few Greek Islands and know the meaning of "Basic". The first room we were put in had Fungus/Damp growing on the Bathroom wall, and the toilet was leaking so much water, we could've use this as the swimming pool. We moved rooms only to discover that the floor and drawers were covered in long black hair and about an inch of dirt and dust. Considering I'm blonde, one friend ginger and one grey, I don't think they came from us. There was also crisp crumbs under one of the beds. When we ask that the room be cleaned the owners were very offended and rude to us, and the room never got cleaned throughout our whole stay. We eventually found a broom outside the apartment and cleaned the room. The kettle didn't work and we only had one knife and fork between 3 of us, even these were black and disgusting. The mattresses and pillows were covered in brown stain marks, we couldn't use them. Would definately not recommend this place to anyone. The swimming pool was a bit of a worry, if you sat to close to the end of the beds you would have ended up in the pool!
Have just got back from a week's stay. The apartment was fine - very basic but adequate. Was not too impressed by the size of the pool when we first got there, but it was actually more than adequate.
It is situated right on the main road of the resort which could be quite noisy but it was ok apart from the cockerel who was convinced it was morning even at 4am!
Everyone seemed really friendly - no problems at all. We took loo roll with us as we had seen that you only get your first roll and the loo roll in greece is much to be desired.
Would definitely recommend this place.
We recently returned from two weeks in the Angela Socrates Annexe and I have to say I was very impressed!!
Bill and Maria who run the apartments and the supermarket underneath were very welcoming and very helpful, particularly when my husband unfortunately managed to injure his back!! Nothing was too much trouble for them and they even arranged a masseure!!
The apartments are in the perfect location - just far enough away to be peaceful but within a 5 minute walk of the resort centre and only a couple of minutes more to the beach. The rooms are large and kept clean by Bill and although facilities are basic (a fridge and two cooking rings) who wants to cook on holiday anyway!!
We would definately return!
We have just got back after staying in the Angela for two weeks. Niki the owner is a great lady who is always friendly, I would well recomend going to her BBQ if they have it while your their as you get loads of food plus as much wine as you want till 12 for 15 euros.
Take your own toilet roll as they only supply the first roll plus the sink and hot plate you get is very basic, and they dont supply any cleaning pads or a dishcloth.
The room was cleaned each day but they have a card in the wall for turning on the power which the cleaner pulls out slightly to save power so after a day on the beach the room is hot as the air conditioning is off so have a word with niki and she will stop doing it. A supermarket 100 meters up the road is expensive their is one on the road to kos town which is half the price.
Dont book the trips with the rep as a travel ageny on the other side of the road and 250 meters towards the beach is nearly half the price, its called Theorakis Travel and is English owned ask for rich or sharron.
We visited the Angela Apartments at the beginning of June we found the rooms to be a good size and very clean. Rooms generally were cleaned each day.Niki, who ran or owned the hotel is an excellent hostess who makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. All round an excellent place to stay
I would just like to say when i went to the Angela apartments i experienced one hell of an amazing holiday!!!
The owners are unbelievably friendly and were very welcoming.
The people when we were there were out of this world i could not have of asked for a nicer bunch of people to spend my holiday with!
My family and i have made some new friends forever. The apartment is situated a five minutes walk away from the beach and a fifteen minute drive to the bustling city of kos town.
The place is ideal for families and the hard party goers! if u want peace and quite then the apertments are ideal, but if ur after the party lifestyle u only have to walk down the road to find some absoloutley great night life.
This is a reponse to the question below. I never saw any birds for the whole of the two weeks I was there.
Hope someone can help me. I have a bird (mainly pigeons) phobia (i know pretty weird), anyhow I alway do the greek islands as they doesn't seem to be that many.
Could anyone help me as we fly this Saturday and I would like to be prepared - especially as someone said there was a cockeral in the courtyard!!! Please help. Thanks
we went to tingaki on the 11th of june 03 and stayed at the angela appartments we found it to be set in an ideal location and the staff nikki and george made us feel very welcome we had a two bedroomed appartment witch was kept clean (by the cleaners not areselves)and every morning we had fresh fruit left on are table by bill from the suppermarket next door witch we where not charged for nikki gave my brother a job and even went looking for an appartment for him on her day off she found him one in the next village along and even offered him her bike to get to work on. the staff are so freindly especially nikki and george and the appartments are a 2 and a half minute walk from the second best beach in kos i would advise anyone with small children or just couples looking for a good time look no further than the angela appartments you will be made welcome and i garrentee you will enjoy your stay if you have any questions please feel free to e mail me billy bentick
We stayed in the Annex part of the complex. Generally they were fine for the price you pay. They are set on the main road so in terms of location it is perfect. The only problem is that the road is busy and I found it hard to sleep in the morning. Other problems where that they had not been cleaned when we had arrived, and when they do clean them they don't really do a proper job. We had to do it our selves every few days so that the mess did not build up. They also don;y supply toilet role which was a supprise to us. We never cook when we go away anyway but it you do plan to use the studio for this purpose, think again as the facilities supplied would cook you only a greek salad (if your lucky)!!! I do want to state however again that they are fine for the price you pay. Finally just a note to say that if you want to keep your room on a bit longer on the last night you may want to consider getting a hotel a little way down the main road as it is cheaper. They charged us 30 euro's to keep our room on until 10pm while another couple were only charged 15 euros for a double room for the whole night.
We have just returned from a week in the Annexe. We had a 1 bedroom apartment which, although very basic did offer everthing that we needed. My only grumble would be that the pillows were a little hard. The room was cleaned every other day by Vasillius who also owns the supermarket next to the appartments. The rooms overlook a courtyard and the only noise that woke us was the cockerel that wanted to announce morning. All rooms either a balcony or terrace.
Can anyone tell me whether the Angela Annex apartments have balconies please?
angela apts and annex were great nikki and staff brilliant they make everyone welcome and get people mixing and always great atmosphere
Hope someone can help. I need to know if the Angela Apartments in Tingaki have balconies. Has anyone also stayed in the Annex part of the Angela Apartments, if so what are they like?
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Angela Apartments in June last year and liked it so much we are returning in June this year (Can't wait).
Tingaki is lovely and George and Nikki(and Addy)at the Angela Apartments were fantastic. We are a young couple and they did not seem to have a problem with us. They were very friendly and helpful and really lovely people. The apartments we found to be lovely and were kept clean and tidy. All in all it was one of the best holidays we have had hence why we are returning this year. I would certainly reccomend it to anybody.
The apartments are ok but very white!They are clean when you get there but soon become messy - only saw the maid once when she emptied the bin and mopped the floor! The owners seem to have an attitude problem towards young couples (18-25). The Pool was very merky. We are returning to tingaki but not to the Angela apartments.
has anyone stayed at or seen the angela apartments in Tingaki.
thinking of going sep 2003.
are they too close to the centre, busy/noisy ?
any information would be great. thanx.
