I arrived in Samos ill and exhausted from my previous journey.I just wanted to get back home and Samos was the departure point towards that goal.I didnt even have the energy to look for an hotel and my daughter found one for me just because it shares the same name as me.Hotel NOTIS.That alone was good for a laugh .When you come out of the ferry in Vathi- Samos port -- all you got to do is drive North Bound along the water front , and just past the city's hospital, is this little charming hotel , absolutely drowning in Jasmin trees and flowers.The room i was given was not big, but i dont need big rooms and this was big enough.It had an amazingly comfortable bed with double giant pillows , plugs and outlets everywhere for me to charge all my equipement and then a kitchen area with a table and a absolutelly lovely small terrace to my self.There's no view as such to write home about, but what matters is that i had a lovely -albeit short- stay.What caught my eye instantly , is the amount of attention to detail the owners have given to everything.There's not a paint line out of place , not a scratch not a stain , not a chipped tile .Nothing.Everything is immaculate.Terrace doors and windows are sound proof so theres no noise from the road that passes right in front of the small hotel.More than anything i will remember the owners kindness.The young woman running the place was more than attentive and kind.Cannot forget that on the night of my arrival , she waited up for me at 02.30 A.M, though she was ill and on medication.Talk about hospitality!!If i ever go back to Samos--and i should- i will stay in NOTIS...

And there was a cold bottle of water waiting for me in it.||||Everyday you get fresh sheets and towels (they even smell like flowers). The accommodation did think about all the little things, such as a toothbrush kit, a tiny laundry rack and dishwasher soap (including a sponge). I stayed in the studio with the airconditioning and I have never ever come across such a tiny neat and clean place. The bed is very comfortable and the studio is spacious enough to do yoga in the morning. ||||I would definitely...
Read moreHaving spent several days in Notis Hotel, located on the charming island of Samos, I was impressed by the unique level of hospitality and scrupulous attention to detail by Stamatia and her family in this charming business. The studio apartment was a clean and cozy haven, the interior was very clean, and the everyday amenities—smelling of flowers sheets and towels—came as a nice surprise. Combined with the tranquility assured by soundproof doors and windows, this may be termed assurance for a night's sleep laden with comfort. It is a home set amidst alluring jasmine trees and flowers. The small but functional kitchen or the balcony was inviting and serene, it was all true to what Notis Hotel was all about Greek hospitality. It is a place I would look forward to coming back to on my next...
