breakfast is good. you can find most of the thing for breakfast. hotel is old but they made renovations some part of the hotel location is perfect. beach is close to hotels are very good. most of other good beach's are also 10 minutes by car. there are very good restaurant around the hotel ten minutes by walk. they have car park. we didn't use but they have also bar inside of the hotel and price's are good owner of the hotel is very kind. thanks for the gift and good restaurant suggestion cleaning is very good. they also have pool but we didn't use. for wifi connection we didn't have any problem. on breakfast time, connection is little bit slow but during the day connection is stable enough to make some meeting on computer

in bathroom shower curtain is used. so after shower bathroom is getting wet

The location does not get any better than this… it is right in the middle of Kefalos. This hotel is one of the cleanest we have stayed in, the bed was huge and super comfy (the best we’ve had in Greece). Great pool with plenty of sunbeds, lots of parking and just a really chilled nice vibe. Breakfast has everything you could want to eat and drink. The owners Nitsa and Vasillis (and their staff) are people that can do anything without a fuss, we had the most excellent time here and will 100% be returning (if we can get in, it’s very popular with returners) which to me says everything you want to hear. 100% recommended❤️. Book it ASAP if it’s available👍. 2*😂… exceeded all of our expectations❤️ V.xx

N/A

From the moment I arrived I was welcomed and made to feel like a valued guest, born out by the fact that I didn't have to pay extra for air conditioning (essential) and safety deposit box. Nitsa is so helpful and always happy to assist with any advice or information. My room was comfortable and cleaned every day, along with a view to die for across kefalos bay. Breakfast was a substantial buffet (try real greek yoghurt. You'll never want supermarkey greek'style' yoghurt again!), always fresh every day. The hotel is spotless along with the pool area with enough sunbeds so you don't need to put your towels out before dawn (although there are always some muppets who feel they need to!) Location is central for all the local bars and tavernas but quiet come night time for a relaxing night's sleep.

Struggling to think of anything

From the moment we arrived at Kokalakis Hotel, we knew we were in for a special experience. The owners were absolutely amazing, greeting us with warm smiles and a delightful welcome drink that set the tone for our stay. Their hospitality didn’t end there; they also offered us a refreshing leaving drink, making our departure just as pleasant as our arrival. Throughout our stay, the owners were constantly working hard to ensure we felt at home and had a memorable vacation. Their dedication to guest satisfaction is truly commendable. Our bungalow was perfect in every way. It was incredibly spacious, featuring not one but two outdoor spaces just for us. These private areas were ideal for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the breakfast. It was everything we needed to start our day on the right foot. The variety was impressive, catering to all tastes with fresh fruits, creamy yogurt, perfectly cooked eggs, a selection of pastries, and an array of juices. A special mention goes to the delicious Greek bread – a must-try! The owner was always attentive, promptly replenishing items as soon as they ran out, ensuring everything remained fresh and abundant. Thank you, Kokalakis Hotel, for a memorable vacation. We can’t wait to return and experience your wonderful hospitality once again!

A traditional Greek hotel with an authentic warm welcome from Nitsa and her small team. The hotel was exceptionally clean both inside and around the pool area. The rooms are spotless and the beds are comfortable. Breakfast is continental with fresh fruit, breads, yoghurt, boiled eggs, preserves, cereals- plenty of choice. The hotel location is perfect for the beach and restaurants with the bus stop right outside.

The filter coffee at breakfast wasn't great but I'm fussy and it was a minor thing really.

Location only 50 metres to the beach/sea, breakfast was continental style with plenty to choose from. Room cleaned daily, towels changed twice a week. Not having to pay for air con and safety deposit box a bonus. Fridge in the room. During my stay the pool/lounge area was never more than half full. The hotel is a family run 2 star hotel , Nitsa and Vasilis the owners work hard to keep the cogs turning, and are good people. This was first visit to Kos and I should like to thank Nitsa and Vasilis personally

Nothing

Travelled to  Hotel Kokalakis in late June. I went for a quiet break with my husband and that's what we got. After reading so many positive reviews about Kokalakis we were certain we had made right choice of hotel before we even got there. All the reviews were right. This hotel is an affordable, cosy and friendly hotel with all the amenities needed for a relaxing quiet no fuss break. Nitsa  and Vascilli go above and beyond for their guests.  My husband even had a lift up to the village with  Vascilli  as he was looking for a local barber shop and buses can be sporadic. The beds were comfortable and the Air Con was really good too. Rooms were simple but spotless clean we had room 24 which was a lovely size with separate little living area and two balconies both with pretty views one to sea one to hills.  We had read reviews on the small bathrooms and showering areas and the problems with wet floors so we arrived knowing what to expect so it didn't bother us that much although I was very careful to not slip coming in and out of bathroom after showering.  The toilets and shower were clean. The pool area is spotless clean too and while there were lots of folk who regularly holiday there, there wasn't an issue in finding a poolside sunbed when needed. The breakfast is plentiful and tasty, special mention for the Greek yoghurt and the Rice pudding!! Delicious!! Nitsa kindly accommodated us with a late check-out  request as the room wasn't needed straight away which was a huge gift for us to enjoy our last day at the beautiful beach right across road from hotel. This spot is ideally located in Kefalos midway between Harbour on one side and Kastri Island down the other side.  It's a stones throw to some lovely restaurants, special mention for my favourite which was Stamatia right across the road. A supermarket is also across road. The warmth and friendliness of the hotel owners is exactly how it is described in these reviews.

Just the bathrooms as mentioned but this isn't a deterrent in returning as it's clean despite being small and the Greek plumbing.

Kokalakis Is a basic but cosy hotel in a very good position, as the best beaches are really close, but the best thing about the hotel were Nitsa and his husband; you can really feel the love they have for their job and their clients, never met kindest people during my stays abroad. They welcomed us with a smile, always available if needed, and even allow us to use a room in the evening of our day of departure to take a shower, for free.

If I have to say something, just breakfast could be more varied, I would have appreciated a machine to make espresso and cappuccino, and trying a maybe a greek pastry or sweet

I traveled to Kos with my 19-year-old daughter. The place was just right. Cozy, beautiful, safe and comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast had a lot of options. The room was cozy, even better than I expected. I think the place deserves more stars. The next time I go to Kefalos, this will definitely be my choice. If they have room. I now understand why they are almost always sold out.

A nice, quiet, family run hotel with clean and comfortable rooms, perfectly located in Kefalos. Perfect place to relax. The closest beach is less than 5 mins walk with beautiful transparent water and cheap sunbeds and umbrellas. But if you walk 8-10 mins you find even less crowded spots. Many restaurants close-by, mainly along the beach with authentic and good value food. The bus from the airport or from Kos town/port stops right in front of the hotel. There are minimarkets and plenty of car and scooter rentals in case you want to explore the other beautiful beaches on the island.
