Kalonisa studios, Kos

Advantages: quiet location, near beach,easy reach of Kos town centre
Disadvantages: bar closed at set time and lights were turned out even if you had 1 or 2 drinks keft

...We stayed here Sept 2005 for 1 week.the location was excellent 5-10mins walk to Kos town centre and about 5 mins to the main beach. our room was a studio and was very large compared to the other studios i've stayed in before. the room had a tv but only showed greek programmes although there was mtv as well. we had plenty of space for all our things and if we had wanted to, there was a large dining table as well. snack bar was very reasonable had a decent menu and food was prepared nice and quick and was always piping hot., pool was quite small definitley not for those who like a decent swim- i was ok as i use the pool to cool down in. bar closed every nt bout 1am regardless of how many people were around and all the lights were turned off as well so we were left in the dark on a couple of occasions with 1 or 2 drinks! bottle of mthos...

...Me and my boyfriend went to Kefalos in Kos this year on our first holiday together. It took us a while to decide if this was where we wanted to go but for the price we couldn't refuse. We paid £179.00 each for a week self catering. We stayed at Kefalos Studios. Our Apartment was very basic, had a shower room, 2 single beds, kitchen and a balcony. Basic but nice.

...there are 2 parts to the kardamos hotel in kos. one, is the hotel itself, very much an 18-30 resort with small rooms and lively atmosphere, the other is the kardamos studios, directly opposite the hotel accross the swimming pool, which are more traditionally greek, with white walls and tiled floors, and a great view over the town of kardamena and the agean. the facilities in both the hotel and studios are basic, but then what more do you need for a young persona holiday. the hotel is just far enough away that you dont get all of the noise from the lively town and bar street, but not far enough away to give you troule walking to and from. about a ten minute walk door to bar ;) the pool at the hotel is awesome, slightly chilly early in season, but maintained well, and always busy and lively. the pool bar serves great food and cheap...
