We booked The Old Symi apartment very last-minute, and the host handled it perfectly—quick communication, smooth check-in, and a warm welcome when we arrived. The apartment was exactly as described: a well-done renovation that kept the traditional Symi character (wood beams, stone details) while feeling fresh and clean. Location was ideal—close enough to the harbor for dinners but quiet at night. Small thoughtful details (like strong Wi-Fi and clear local tips) made it feel like a home away from home. Would happily stay here again. Recommended for anyone who wants a *no-fuss, authentic place* on the island.

The apartment is really special. It is so big for the price, very comfy, and super clean. The bed was amazing, I slept so deeply every night and struggled to get up! I was travelling in off season so it was also really good to have a TV in the apartment with Netflix as the evenings were quiet in Symi. Fresh towels and bed made every day was a lovely surprise.

I'm on a super tight budget, so I had to make every meal myself. Although the kitchenette has a microwave, there could be a chopping board and some bowls added to the supplies to help.

The apartment is located central in Symi Town (Gialos) close to everything.Restaurants, cafe, super markets, arrival-departure of line ships and cruise fast boats.It's the ideal spot to explore everything.The apartment is in traditional Symi style decorated and comfortable with all necessities.It's spotlessly clear with daily care service.Great value for money.

Everything in this apartment is exceptional, absolutely no complaint.

Our stay was wonderful! The room exuded a delightful old-world charm, perfectly preserved through a tasteful renovation. The bed and sofa were comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights. Having a little kitchen was a major plus, especially as we traveled with our child. The location was perfect—close to everything yet very quiet. The view from our room was lovely, and everything was spotlessly clean. Communication with the hosts was excellent, and we appreciated being able to walk from the port to our room with ease, even with just a suitcase.

The mezzanine could be a bit hazardous for younger children, so it's something to be mindful of if you're traveling with little ones.

Apartment was well located, quiet and cute. Very simple arrangement which suited us completely fine, with a homey feeling. Very good value. Our host was very nice, made us feel welcomed by meeting us when arriving by ferry and kept our luggage after checkout. Closing the blinds during the night was important because of the pickleball court lights next to the balcony. The balcony is good, kitchenette useful for salads, and I loved all the old wooden interior

Nothing really. I don't like spring beds but that's personal taste I guess

Appliances, tables and sofa. Efficient toilet!

Bed frame and low ceiling difficult for tall husband. Very basic range of crockery, glasses and cutlery. Bowls and a sharp knife would have been useful. Limited storage space for clothes for a longer stay. No safe. Only two hooks in bathroom.

Lovely, traditional apartments in the heart of Yialós Symi where everything is close! The rooms are clean and spacious with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds!!! Bathroom with shower is quite efficient! The staff is nice and friendly and always helpful!

In the summer the rooms get very hot and the air-conditioning is not strong enough to keep the temperature low and pleasant!!! But that can be fixed easily I guess...

Spacious apartment, usefully designed shared entrance, lovely small terrace overlooking the Church grounds & gardens & the girl Katarina who meets & greets the guests is brilliant! (funny, welcoming & helpful).

There was one thing that was strange but Katarina got it sorted within 24 hrs, was the fact that the 1 x door key/electric fob (which you couldn't seperate) switched all electric off including the fridge unfortunately, when you went out. Katarina had this fridge issue resolved by the time we returned from the beach. We managed to rustle up supper one evening despite there not being a small hob, we utilised the toast machine & microwave instead.

Location was very central in town, 2 min walk to a great local bakery with coffee, restaurants within 5 - 15 min. Property looked as in the photos. Temperature of the upstairs bedroom manageable with fan turned on at night. Beds and pillows were as expected for the Greek islands - flimsy.

Our only annoyances were that the host didn't leave enough toilet paper for our stay and the shower drain was clogged.

Nice decoration, very clean and beautiful rooms, in the center of the market. Rooms was ready when we arrived and free bottles of cold water were offered

Needed international phone connection in order to communicate with the owner because nobody was in the house. They could give wifi password in advance to call them
