Hermes Hotel Kos

As I sit here on my last night overlooking the beautiful views I thought I would write .....the hotel may not be a luxury 5 star but what you get here is a lovely family run very welcoming experience from minute you step in. We are staying in a family room with bunk beds overlooking the sea ..has a kettle and fridge....room is cleaned everyday and is faultless. The hotel is set in the hills you are guaranteed a sunbed at the pool and no one comes round making you do the pool side activities everyone dreads !! Snack bar is great reasonably priced etc....breakfast egg beans toast cake yoghurt melon... coffee machine is lovely and the fruit juice is not watered down ! Most rooms do have a hill / steps to get up ...but are manageable. There are plenty of resturants throughout and the staff can arrange for the resturants to collect and drop you back at no charge....the portions are huge !! The hill is ok and manageable if you are bordering on normal / unfit !! No cabs are here ...use ztours they are excellent and reasonably priced about 3 euros each person to get to beach.. bars etc - hotel staff will arrange or just give them a call. Can't fault our stay and will definitely be back.... hermes you are a delight and should be proud of your hotel...hope to see you again soon !

We visited Hermes at the end of June / early July 26 and were absolutely delighted with our choice of hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome and this was continued throughout by all the excellent staff during our stay. The hotel is extremely well run, clean (rooms cleaned / beds changed every day), with lovely surrounding gardens and fantastic sea views from our room and also bar area. Pool area is great, with plenty of sun beds to go round whatever the time of day. Breakfast was good, choice of cereals, honey, Greek yoghurt, melon, cheese, selection of cold meats and an absolute must for me - baked beans!! Coffee machine was excellent too and lovely to drink a few cups and take in the awesome views straight after breakfast! Both the pool bar and main hotel bar were excellent. Dimitrius serves an excellent cocktail and again was always happy to see us. Great choice of local tavernas and bars within walking distance of the hotel - however would highly recommend the tavernas in Kefalos village - accessed via a very steep hill, however the restaurant staff from the village will collect you and drop you back off at the hotel.

We enjoyed our stay that much, we have just booked again to go in September and cannot wait to return. Thank you again Diana and all your team for a lovely holiday!

This my favourite place to visit. It’s the only place I return again and again. We had 12 perfect days here at the end of June beginning of July. Diana and Sebastian work long hours to make sure every guests needs are met. If you want to chill by the pool, relax on an evening in the bar where Dimitri makes sure drinks are made exactly as you want them then this is the perfect place. I highly recommend the cocktails. Views out to sea at breakfast. This is all fresh local produce. I’ve travelled and you will never find friendlier people and that’s everywhere. Shops, restaurants and cafes. The food in the village is excellent and all reasonable prices. We’ve never had a bad meal. It’s a great spot for renting a quad/buggy or moped and exploring the island. Great organised trips are available to book locally. This is not a party spot, the nightlife is great food, drinks and fantastic views. The Hermes is the perfect base to stay, however I would not recommend it if you struggle with mobility as it has steep areas and steps. It’s great for burning off the extra calories you will definitely eat. Thank you for a perfect holiday.
