Karpathos hotels

Pros: The hospitality of whole family

Pros: Everything is top. The owners approach. The welcome. The cleanliness of the room. The room's equipment. The view to the sea. We will be back.

Pros: Beautiful view, comfortable bed, and high quality furnishings.

Cons: The owner was rude and unwillingly to be flexible. We saw that multiple larger room were available online for the same price as our studio and the owner refused to meet in the middle and negotiate a fair price. He scolded us for letting a cat in our room, when we had to scoot cats out of our room multiple times. He charged 10 euro more than Blue Sea Studios for an airport transfer. Lastly, he scolded my wife for not holding the door when it was very windy and she was tending to my child.

Pros: We came with a 3 months old baby and had the most wonderful time - planned to stay for 3 days only, and end up staying for 8 days! Minas our host was so kind and took care of us. Beautiful place, clean and inviting. Location perfect as well. We will definitely come back again

Pros: We loved everything about Alkioni Hotel. We were staying in apartment number 1, that is on upper floor of the building and composed by: one living room + kitchen, one bedroom, one bathroom and a balcony with sea view. All rooms are perfectly sized for two people, furniture are new and nice while the bad is really comfortable. Balcony as i said is sea view and we loved every evening watch the sunset over the bay of Finiki village We also enjoyed a lot the breakfast, with daily fresh fruit, yogurt, cakes, sandwiches and many many many other things.

Cons: none

Pros: Quiet location, great staff, very clean, would definitely stay here again.

Pros: Everything was great: the flat in the hotel, the location, the view, the beach, and especially Minas the owner's hospitality, attention to detail and to all our needs and wishes, and patience in answering all our questions. The breakfast served in our room by Minas, with cakes and other delicacies prepared by Anna his wife, was also excellent. Thank you Anna and Minas!

Cons: Very friendly lovely lady at the reception. Very spacious and clean room. It was also very close to the beach, cafes and restaurants!

Pros: The rooftop terrace is great. The host welcomed us with a friendly chat. The location is very convenient for the town, and quiet too.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The roof top terrace has stunning views over Karpathos. Helen provided a lovely breakfast which we enjoyed on the rooftop terrace.

Pros: Very kind host. Beautiful roof garden with stunning harbor view. Free breakfast - nice addition.

Pros: The view from the rooftop was great

Pros: Very nice owner named Helen. She takes good care of you. Great roof-top to relax. We felt very confortable!

Pros: excellent position: very close to the port and the centre of pigadia the best is the roof garden, we enjoyed it at the breakfast time (lovely) and at the sunset: it was terrific thanks helen for everything: if we come back to karpathos we will come and visit you!!

Pros: Hospitality showed by host. Nice upper terrace with view of harbour.

Cons: Need of refurbishment of kitchen. Breakfast very simple.

Pros: Everything the owner was just great. Good location nice complementary breakfast with home made cakes

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The property is in an excellent location with all amenities close by. Helen was such a kind and warm host who ensured that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We loved Helen’s delicious morning cakes and having breakfast on the beautiful terrace! We really enjoyed our stay and want to thank Helen for her wonderful hospitality!

Pros: Friendly and helpful in all aspects. Could not be beaten. In a quiet area on the outskirts of the island capital that was close enough for facilities, yet away enough to be quiet.

Pros: Pool, position, quiet place

Cons: Staff seems sad, bored, not entertaining; we did not feel welcome. Except for the bar attender, that made beautiful omelette

Pros: Very pleasant hotel and friendly hosts. A lovely address in Amoopi. Very nice breakfast every morning with local products that are really appealing. A highly recommended place indeed! Don't miss Calypso, the restaurant down the road; it offers gorgeous seaview, excellent Greek cuisine and great family atmosphere.

Cons: Nothing! We loved the place and the people!

Pros: The hotel is in a perfect and very quiet location in Amoopi. The owners are very friendly people. We were thinking of moving to the north of the island after a first stay here, but we changed our mind and stayed here for all our trip in Karpathos.

Pros: Owner couple very kind and helpful (language knowledge: Greek and modest English), free transport to/from port or airport is a great plus. Very good home made breakfast. Very quiet (for solitude lovers). We had a very good stay for one night after arriving late.

Cons: We felt there  a bit like in the middle of nowhere in spite of the fact that Amoopi  beach village is not more than 500 m walking away. Decent room size and well equipped. But if you pay more than 100 € twin incl.breakfast (we had mid August top season) you may find it a bit expensive.

Pros: The peaceful location, just in the middle of olive trees and a well cared garden full of beautiful plants and flowers. Minas, his wife and their three children are incredibly warm welcoming. Included breakfast is rich and tasty. Very clean, spacious and quiet apartment, with a great view over Ammopi bay. Beaches are at 10' walking, as well tabernas and restaurants

Cons: To leave

Pros: Friendly owner. Nice and quiet place.

Pros: Felt like home, very friendly welcome, great breakfast, quiet place surrounded by olive groove, small thoughtful touches like sawing kit in the room. I was allowed for early check-in, which was priceless after the night in the airport. Wish I could stay longer:)

Cons: -

Pros: Spacious studio in rural surroundings. Friendly owners and excellent breakfast. Not too far from the beaches.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The owners were lovely people, very friendly but couldn't speak a lot of English. The breakfast was delicious and lots of it. We were there in October and were disappointed a lot of shops and restaurants were already closed even though the weather was still warm. I even went swimming and the water temperature was lovely. I'd definitely stay here again.

Pros: Great view from the sea view room, which had everything we needed, and the breakfast included local specialties and was delicious. The hosts were wonderful too.

Cons: Everything was lovely

Pros: staff - location - breakfast - the presents owner gave us: salt from the sea end origan from the mountain

Cons: room is little warm, however there is air conditioning.,

Cons: overpriced very exposed to strong winds, very unpleasant to seat outside, impossible to stay at your balcony 50% extra charge for children under 7 years old most of the staff are eastern European young trainees and they don't speak Greek the noise from top floors keeps you awake from early morning you are not allowed to take even an apple from breakfast outside the breakfast room

Pros: The hotel is conveniently located within a short walking distance from restaurants, shops, etc. Front desk staff was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was of generally good quality, including a few local specialties (tyropitas).

Cons: For a 5-star hotel, it needs some improvement. Rooms offer basic comfort but lack charm and have a few problems. The main one: the lights at the balcony don't work, so you cannot spend the evening reading there, for instance. The TV screen on the mirror is a false good idea: it doesn't work properly, as it was mentioned by previous reviewers. Noise insulation is not ideal, and I could hear during the night noises from the corridor and other rooms. In a 5-star hotel you would expect fresh juices in breakfast and the fact that you have to pay extra for an espresso or cappuccino seems misplaced. Unlike other places in Greece, both the restaurant and room service finishes very early, at 10pm. In a 5-star hotel, it is reasonable to expect 24-hour room service. And although it does not look in many aspects as a 5-star place, it has absurd requirements like forbidding shorts at dinner time, apparently trying to create a "sophisticated" atmosphere without offering a really sophisticated content overall. Expecting that people wear trousers at a beach resort in Greece (when you can wear shorts even in Michelin-starred restaurants in Athens) makes no sense.

Pros: We liked the pool, the towel service, sunbed terrace; location is quiet but still in walking distance of the town, hotel offered unobtrusive animation

Cons: stony beach, cursory cleaning (e. g. a piece of waste paper was lying on the terrace for two days and finally thrown over the reling onto the beach by the cleaning personel!); use of plastic bottles in the bar and the restaurant! no facilities to brew drinkable tea at breakfast (no pot - just tiny coffee cups, no boiling water)

Pros: Location

Cons: Staff was rude and unprofessional. They gave us room facing the electricity poles, see the picture!

Pros: Everything regarding the hotel and the facilities was fine.Staff very helpful and gentle.

Cons: Access to the beach is unsafe.During the week of staying, the bed sheets never changed.

Pros: Location great. We had a great time at the Nisia pool bar next door. Better food and great drinks.

Cons: Difficult with towel service and weak air conditioning

Pros: Location. Clean modern rooms

Cons: Only allowed 2 towels.

Pros: The bed, the breakfast and location

Cons: All different policies and rules, and fake smiles and fake service.

Pros: This hotel ticked all the boxes for us. Rooms spacious and super clean, excellent breakfast and a short walk into the little town Pigadia for dinner.

Cons: There were some unnecessary things like barriers put up to stop people from walking freely and a rule about men wearing trousers to dinner, which meant we did not choose to eat in the hotel. Who are these rules for? I think a five star hotel needs to consider what makes guests feel relaxed and welcome. All in all however, we had a very comfortable stay. My son was in room 202 and it had an ugly electricity pole right outside his balcony.

Pros: We enjoyed very much our stay at Alimounda. The room was spacious and clean, with a big veranda with a perfect view of the sea and Karpathos. The pool area was wonderful. The breakfast had so much variety and all the staff were very friendly. We also enjoyed the beach in front of the hotel (although a bit rocky) and we used the spa for a body message which was again of very good quality. The room was cleaned every day and we were provided a free bottle of wine and water to welcome us upon arrival. There is also an internal mini market to buy anything you might need. There were also music nights organised in the evenings and dinner and lunch could be provided (we didn't have it). The cocktails at the pool bar area were super. Excellent!

Cons: We found the idea of the TV being integrated in the mirror not very practical, the screen was not very well visible (although we didn't really watch much TV). We would prefer an espresso machine/maker in the room. Espresso coffee was served on breakfast but on extra charge. Generally pricey hotel, prices could a bit lower (in comparison to same class hotels in Greece) but it was totally worth it.

Pros: i'm not a breakfast person so didn't indulge.

Cons: No tea or coffee facilities in room, would of been nice for later in the day when everything was closed, although a fridge is provide in the room.

Pros: Very comfortable bed, big room and big bathroom. There is an elevator. I was able to leave my luggage at the reception in the morning after arrival - very nice. Bonus : i could see the sea straight from the bed :)

Pros: As we didn’t plan to stay much in the room, the hotel was everything we were looking for, located in the heart of Pigadia, with large and clean rooms and with an extra bonus of great sea view and friendly staff. Definetely a great value for money!

Cons: Everything was as expected.

Pros: Everything it was perfect

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: good breakfast,good bar ,staff very helpful & kind ,car parking good,everything no problem

Cons: loose fan switch in shower, broken towel rail on balcony,buzzing fridge we had to disconnect too noisy.

Pros: Polite staff... very good location...

Pros: This was the second time we have stayed at the hotel. There was a big improvement this year in that the WiFi was fast and reliable. Last year it was very slow and I could not use it much. This time we had a sea view room on the 3rd floor and the view was fantastic of beach and hills on the other side of the small bay. The room was conformable and modern. The beach is a 5 minute walk where there are free areas but the first concession has 2 chairs and an umbrella for 6 Euro. It is a short walk to old town and the port. A large supermarket is 10 minutes away if you want to get beverages and snacks for the room and use the minibar. So a great location to enjoy the beach and go for walks in town. The bus station is a short walk away. The breakfast is decent and you can eat outside on a terrace. The staff are friendly and nice. We got a great rate by booking early. This is the only hotel that I would consider staying at in this town.

Cons: There was no fresh fruit for breakfast. A sign in the bathroom says to put the toilet paper in the waste basket. I saw the same sign in other hotels and at the Rhodes airport so I guess it is common but needs getting used to.

Cons: I would prefer if the breakfast was served until 10

Pros: Value for Money - Staff was very helpful both for Hotel related questions & for guidance related the hole island. Even gave me their power bank for a few hours on my trip to North side of the island.

Cons: No complaints

Pros: Perfekt view over the sea! Close to everything No noise Nice staff (met only Kostas)

Pros: Like in a family.

Pros: The receptionist and the whole staff was very nice and always welcomed us with a smile. The rooms are large and the view from the balcony is amazing. The Hotel is located right in the city centre. Recommended!

Pros: Check in staff, cleaning staff, breakfast--- all were first rate!

Pros: Breakfast, location, cleanliness, price.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff, a nice spacious room with a balcony, very close to the center, the bus station and quite close to the local beach. Also there's a nice large swimming-pool.

Cons: The bathroom facilities, quite poor wi-fi connection.

Pros: Perfect location. Roomy and clean room. Breakfast Ok. Friendly staff. Nice view. Beautiful island.

Cons: WiFi did not work most of of the time. The cleaning ladies kept knocking on the door while we were inside. They did not wash the dishes we used. We had to ask for soap and shampoo every 2d day( they were not replaced otherewhise)

Pros: I was very pleased with the service provided by the lady at reception. She was extremely helpful, flexible and professional. I felt that the feedback I gave her was not a waste of time as she listened and am sure she passed it on to the owner.

Cons: Issues with the shower and cleanliness of the bed which do not reflect any lack of professionalism of the maids but the hotel management.

Pros: Central location. Outside pool area was very nice.

Cons: Shower was a bit awkward as had to hold the shower head. Big nicely decorated bedroom with kitchenette. Fridge was useful and the complimentary bottle of water. Staff were very helpful.

Pros: Good location in Pigadia. Close to the port, restaurants, transport and services but just far enough away from nightlife noise. Staff were extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. Great sized swimming pool for hot summer days. Good variety of food for breakfast. Parking available on the street next to the hotel.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything was very nice, especially the staff, their kindness, the way they were helping us. The last day we even stayed longer, without extra cost. Everything was clean and tidy. We had to walk just a few meters to be in the center. Thanks a lot!

Cons: I liked everything.

Pros: My daughter was there and she enjoyed the stay:)

Pros: The breakfast had plenty of choice was large and the cooked eggs were varied across the week.

Cons: Missed having bacon occasionally.

Pros: The swimming pool and the meal at the pool bar. The personnel is excellent

Cons: Simple room, no special view. Far away from the harbour

Pros: Very friendly atmosphere right from checking in to checking out. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was very comfortable and the modern bathroom with walk-in shower was great, and well maintained by the cleaning staff. Bar, terrace and pool area great, with plenty of sunbeds so there was never a race for one. George and Dimitris behind the bar were always cheerful and friendly (we tried to educate George regarding real rock and roll! Did we succeed?) Wednesday evening Barbecues were a great experience, bringing a lot of people from different nationalities together; and real value for money.

Cons: Leaving to come home!!

Pros: For me it was perfect, exactly what I needed. All staff was very friendly, but not too much on you. Felt from the start like home. Liked the Greek feeling in hotel, as I wasn't looking for too modern hotel there anyway. Good size and clean pool and lovely garden area around it. Breakfast had everything you needed to start a good day. Location was little out of center, but again, this is what I wanted. Beach, store and center were close by for short walk. But you didn't even needed to leave, as also their small restourant offered a good meal throughout the day. Will most defenetly go back, I really rested well there. Best vacation ever.

Pros: The room was clean. Nice toilet.

Cons: Breakfast. I’ve read a lot of review were people was saying something like “ the best breakfast of my life “.... They probably never being to a decent hotel with a normal continental breakfast. Eggs seem to be cooked two days before, horrible orange juice, poor choice of basically everything.

Pros: Great pool area to sit and relax, quiet and very pretty. Main building rooms basic but have everything you need. Bathroom/shower great. Lovely staff

Cons: The 20 min walk into town was fine for us but some may not be happy. Breakfast some mornings was manic and as it was it a corner it was difficult to get to the food. But food was good.

Pros: Everything was great

Pros: Good location; just a couple of minutes from the "action" i.e. the harbour and all the restaurants etc. Taxi rank right in front of it. Friendly staff.

Cons: The hotel has probably not been touched since about 1950. The room (with the beds) was ok but the bathroom was poor, with everything falling apart. For example the shower curtain stopped about 5cm above the base so a shower flooded the floor. The whole place needs a big refurbishment. Breakfast was about the most basic I have ever seen, with just choco and normal corn flakes, milk, and a couple of other things. I have seen places like this before but usually as a cheap, say 40 euro a night large city airb&b apartment in some 3rd world country.

Pros: Family hotel. Friendly staff. Great location. Reasonable price.

Cons: Can’t think of something
