Excellent hotel all staff are friendly and helpful, nice location well worth a visit. The rooms are very clean, very nice pool and relaxing area. You can get a nice lunch and in season they do an excellent Barbeque in the evening.


Nice hotel in Kos

Arrived at the hotel early but checked in instantly not charged anything reception/bar  had red leather sofas Room had 2 small double beds & a nice bathroom bed mattress very clean cotton sheets & cotton duvet cover pillows clean with cotton pillowcases hairdryer and good drink tray wardrobe had shelves & drawer dressing table with drawers & large mirror bedside cabinets had drawer. Ironing board & iron in corridor Had a problem with shower /bath reported at reception maintenance sorted by the time we came back. Breakfast had cereals fresh fruit bananas grapes melon toasters for making toast. Waiters dressed in suits /waistcoats crisp shirts tables all had white linen covers. Tea coffee brought to table offered eggs scrambled poached or boiled eggs. You have probably guessed lovely hotel we'll be back !! 

Good experience 

Great stay here with friends! Hotel is clean and very nice considering the price isn’t expensive at all, rooms as spacious and beds decently comfy. Hotel is a little bit of a walk from the main town but theres many ways to get around, hotel has plenty of sunbeds and seats which is great. Bar by the pool is also great and well priced with some decent food options. Although we werent able to keep our room on after checkout since our flight was a late one we were still able to use showers and changing area and room to store cases. Would definitely come again. (I also love the fact the hotel has designated areas to feed the stray cats)

Great hotel overall!

Arrived at the hotel on Saturday evening. No problem at reception. Given a room on the second floor. Room was clean but dated which was not a problem for the price but omg the orange was just abit over the top. Second morning was when it all went wrong. Outside the hotel the floor had been washed down. Absolutely soaking wet and I fell down the wet marble steps and broke 2 bones in my foot. The family were nice enough although definitely not over friendly. They did move us to a ground floor self catering apartment which was really lovely. Breakfast was again basic but fine.housekeeping was excellent. Bar food again very good. Only gripe I have is I think unless you are a regular customer they are not really friendly. The mother is a lovely lady. Would I return again?. Yes I probably would as the good out weighted the bad and I made really good friends there. Just brush up on customer service skills and more people will keep returning 

Iris hotel 

We got there at around 11 o'clock we checked in went to the room omg what a shock it was horrible small and the colour orange we went back to reception for a change he said come back tomorrow so that's what we did we paid a extra fee of 84 euros 💶 it was well worth we got a nice apartment facing the pool 
Then we settled in and had a fantastic time the staff are friendly enough they we're closing down till may so they didn't care much closed bar early cleared off sunloungers table chairs it was looking very bare they left our sunloungers till we got off them 😀. 
For what we paid for, it was worth it 👌 would we go back again? Yes, but it's really only 2 stars. 

Meeting friends 

We had a week's stay, second time staying here.  Last time we had an executive room, this time not so lucky.  The room was definitely basic, redeeming feature was the fridge.  Beds not very comfy but ok after a few beers.  The hotel itself is nice, breakfast simple.  The staff are ok but sometimes you have to search for them.   Very friendly cleaning staff. Nice pool and bar area.  Great location with some good tavernas nearby.

Good but basic

I shouldn't have to, but to state from the outset that my family & I are really low maintenance when it comes to overseas holidays - it's our only 2-week break during the year (if at all possible), so we go with an open-mind to enjoy & relax, but at the same time ensure we chat with the locals & fellow holidaymakers, but go away primarily to decompress.

So upon arrival, it was disappointing to be welcomed into an impressive-looking lobby by one of the brothers that owns/runs the place in a really surly fashion. He gave us the scantest info about our room & our stay, forgetting anything to do with breakfast, air con or generally where anything was in the hotel.

We're able to work things out, so we put the welcome down to a blip. The plusses:

- Pool food is relatively cheap & good if you’re on a budget

- Fairly decent availability of sun beds around the pool at any time

- Comfortable beds in the supreme rooms

- Good blackout curtains for decent sleep

The minuses:

- The irony of so many “laughter / love / hugs” signs around the hotel but very little of this actually experienced - the original surliness continued for the duration of our 2 weeks, barring one of the brothers who became a little more smiley in our 2nd week & generally seemed to be working his socks off. We smiled but generally received ambivalent looks back.

- Occupying 2 rooms, we not unreasonably asked for an extra room key for each to facilitate our comings & goings. Not possible we were told, which for a hotel has to be a first. Even after explaining this meant we would always have to stay in pairs, we were told that we could fetch someone from the reception or bar area to be let in...except that the reception area was 99% of the time unmanned & there was predominantly one person at the bar that needed to serve drinks/prepare food. After asking a couple more times & being fobbed off each time, we surmised this was something they weren't going to budge on, so managed accordingly.

- The surliness continued when one evening the AC in our room stopped working & required attention, & on another the bathroom door handle fell apart (not through any force it has to be said) - as I said, we prefer to remain under the radar, but these were things out of our control that needed sorting.

- In these instances & as no-one was in the reception area, we had to ask for assistance at the bar, in front of a bunch of stony-faced other holidaymakers who seemed to have fixed seats at the bar - not ideal when all of these can overhear your conversation.
 
- Some of these bar regulars were also constantly behind the bar, washing up & serving themselves drinks (which I'm assuming they paid for)! Again, something I've never seen before at any hotel we've stayed at!

- Avoid the Greek night; the music is the worst imaginable. The music played around the bar is generally bad & seemed to be under the direction of the stony-faced regulars sat around the bar. Hard rock is not conducive to a relaxing time around the pool.

- Watch out for the pool itself - it has wildly incorrect height markings dotted around it, & is very deep (5 feet) at the shallow end & VERY deep at the other end.

- If you happen to be a decaf coffee drinker (they don't have any available for breakfast or at the bar), a request for a mug of hot water is also met with negativity.

Seeing some of the reviews for the non-supreme rooms, I'd definitely recommend the supreme rooms - very clean & well-maintained (another couple of plusses!). There is over-engineering with the entry lights for the supreme rooms however - even though you might highlight the 'No Cleaning' sign, you will find the cleaners knocking on the door & asking if you need your room cleaned. And no-one needs 30 different tones for your room bell (panpipe version of the 'Titanic' theme anyone?!).

In all, a disappointing time at the hotel itself - I do recommend the Akrogiali restaurant only 5 mins walk away, the beach restaurant next to Anemos Xtreme Sports & Smiley's near Kos town - fantastic hospitality & great food!

So much potential...but strangely underwhelming!

i return to this hotel every year because of the amazing staff. the hotel is absolutely spotless and the people could not be nicer. the pool is brilliant and deep also the bar is always a great night,
the greek night is the best i have been to!! and the food is homemade and could not be better
i will continue to return here every year

best place

My 11 year old daughter and I have just returned from a 7 night stay at this little gem. The family who run this hotel are beautiful people, they made us feel so welcome and safe from the moment we arrived. It was a late check in for us and we were created at reception with the warmest smile and shown to our room….the family work so so hard and nothing is too much trouble for them 

We stayed in self catering and our room was modern, had everything we needed….and was cleaned thoroughly everyday. Including fresh towels and sheets! 

We met some amazing people who return year after year because of the hospitality they receive. We found it to be a home from home and can not wait to return 

The pool is absolutely gorgeous, we also ate a few times at the pool bar and it was delicious! There are a couple of supermarkets and a few nice tavernas within walking distance if you fancy venturing out. Kos town is also walkable along the coast line if you are looking for a bit more action. We stayed local as prefer more of a chilled vibe. Although the Greek BBQ night at the hotel really is not to be missed! The food was delicious and the dancing!!! It was such a good night 

I can’t recommend this place enough. And honestly can’t get my head around some of the negative reviews I’ve read here……as they could not be further from what we experienced 

So Yamas Hotel! And see you next August ❤️

We love this gorgeous little place! ❤️

This was the worst hotel I’ve ever been in. We did not pay a lot for the room but this does not justify the condition it has been in. There were stains on the floor an disgustingly old bathroom. The shower did not even have a door so the whole bathroom got wet. Although the people working there were kind of nice it’s still the worst experience I’ve had. They did not change the towels. And the breakfast was nothing special. The bed was super hard to sleep on. 
All over I would not recommend booking a room there. Although they had some prettier rooms which are more expensive.
