Hotel Golden Sun — Hotel in Municipality of Eastern Samos

Plus: Location next to the center of Kokkari

You can hire books for free (also a few in Dutch language)

Nice cats all around the hotel!

Flowers all around the hotel bringing a cozy atmosphere

The general areas are maintained very good!

Disappointing: Room is sometimes not cleaned well enough, it then gets cleaned with a dirty wipe, which made our room smell

The shower will flood every time you take a shower

You will get clean towels every two days. (While you would need them every day too dry your flooded bathroom…)

Also about the shower: we had cold water for 4 days out of the 6 days stay.

The owners can come up with new rules every other day. Example: rules about parking and about the use of the airconditioning. They even took our AC remote control out of our room while we weren’t there.

Poor breakfast: overcooked eggs, average croissants (more like dough balls than croissants), cheese, ham, olives, bread, jam, milk, and Greek yoghurt. That’s all. It’s the same every single day.

Not enough power points to charge your hardware The hotel is not renovated in the 21st century. You cannot charge your phone next to your bed, but only in the kitchen.

Google said this is three stars but I am positive that it is less.

Didnt know whether to rate the hotel with two or three stars. But three would be just too much, they did not meet our expectations on...

This little hotel is well situated in Kokkari's city center near the church, the shops, restaurants and the beach. It consists of several small buildings on a charming, quiet and well maintained property with beautiful trees and flowers everywhere. The rooms are basic and very clean. ||Unfortunately, the air-conditioning system did not function during the night when we needed it as it was turned off around 9 P.M. We consequently had difficulty sleeping with the heat...even with the door open.||The shower (phone-type) did not have a shower curtain and no matter how careful we tried to be, we always managed to spray some water on the floor and had to wipe everything up afterwards. A bit awkward. After cleaning our room, the doors to the balcony were always left open ( I assume to dry off the floor) and were left unlocked all day. We were not too keen on that as our room was situated right next to the municipal parking lot. We kept our luggage locked as a precaution.||Efficient air-conditioning, shower curtains and more security would make this hotel a very pleasant...

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We particularly liked the beautiful hotel complex, where you can calm down very well. The breakfast is perfectly adequate. The rooms are not the most modern, but contain everything you need for a vacation stay. The only thing we would have liked is a double bed instead of two single beds, which sometimes made the night a bit uncomfortable. But that's not so bad. Particularly noteworthy is the warmth of the owner family. Due to a booking mistake, we were generously compensated. They always helped you for special concerns and the friendly charisma and the nice handling made you feel at home.

In summary, we had a wonderful stay and a great time. Therefore we would recommend the hotel with the best...
