Kallirroi Studios — Hotel in Municipality of Eastern Samos

Stayed for 5 nights in what was advertised as a budget/economy studio. I've stayed in a lot of Greek studios and this was better than that.|The studio is approached from port along the sea front. Pop into Gregory's Bar (brilliant place!) and they will take you a few steps down the alley behind and into the studios. The studios are in a really good position.|The lady wasn't around but my name and room number had been left. My twin studio was on the first floor. It opened onto a big shared terrace. Overlooked by houses but ok. There were two washing lines and tables and chairs. This sort of set up is OK depending on your neighbours. At one point I had some noisy ones (mature) who had friends come to sit at the tables outside their studio for drinks ... noisily dragging mine over to use too. If you don't mind partying outside your bedroom you'll be ok. Not Kalliroi's fault, just some people are inconsiderate. |The studio was large. The kitchen facilities looked ok but all I used was the fridge. There was a tv and air con. No wi fi, safe or hair dryer. |Twin beds were comfy and there was plenty of storage. |The bathroom was small but modern and immaculate. The shower had good pressure and hot water. No shower curtain but big enough do as not to flood the room. Towels were changed frequently. |The lady came to introduce herself. She doesn't speak a lot of English but we could understand each other. Just beware ... she will knock and if you don't answer she'll let herself in. If you don't want to be caught in an embarrassing situation then lock the door and leave your key in the lock. |On my last day I had an afternoon ferry and check out is advertised as by noon. Planned to go out and have a leisurely breakfast and last look around before coming back to freshen up. Made the mistake of opening the terrace doors and at 9am I was being badgered to check out. Good job I had packed. Left my luggage downstairs and was given a key to get back in the property. Little bit annoying. I would happily...

I stayed for a week in this hotel/studio. The start, before even getting there was impressive. I received an email telling me that I was welcome and how I should find the place on arrival and who to turn to (Gregory's bar)to get my keys and to manage the check in. That never happened to me before.||||Following the instructions, that where really useful to have, since Goggle Maps place this hotel out in the desert far from it's real location, it was easy to find and I got my keys from a friendly||person.||||I don't know if there were any other facilities, like breakfast etc, but there probably was the hotel since it seemed to be run together with the restaurant/bar Gregory's.||||The room was quite big, with cooking possibilities, a fridge, a cooker etc so I managed my breakfast on my own on the terrace you could access from your room. It was not my own balcony||as promised in my booking, but in exchange I had nice breakfasts with my neighbors in the mornings. The view from the terrace was not so impressive, see photo, but if you take it for a little picturesque it was OK.||||Clean enough even if the floor could have been cleaned a little bit better. Shower and bathroom ||a bit low budget but OK and functioning.||||The whole stay including check out was very uncomplicated, with a lady "around" who was very helpful.||||Small supermarkets, touristic shops etc in the next street made life easy.||||For sleeping I found my earplugs useful even if the little alley outside was not very busy.||||In summary, average hotel but well...

Stayed here for 2 nights on way to Agathonissi, Arki, Lipsi and Leros. Recommend the ferry Nissiros Kalymnos for that trip.||||Nice location down a lane and out of the way of the noise of the harbour front restaurants and cafes. The neighbor opposite has quite a large generator of some sort that goes on all night though.||||Rooms were all you need for the price we paid via a booking website. Clean and sufficient for 2 nights. There's a nice terrace that gets boiling hot. Would easily do for longer.||||The lady who runs them was a lovely wee woman.||||Not much I can say for the town itself. The people are quite into grabbing up all the income they can get from tourists, and quite rightly so. But it’s a pain in the proverbial backside to get hassled non-stop to go into the sea-front restaurants if you’re obviously full and your eyes glazed to bits with retsina. There’s also an awful lot of tat to be had in the souvenir shops. Not the real Greece many people seek.||||Would recommend a walk round to the marina and further on to the large hotel (though the main road is a bit busy).||||Would stay here again, but next time I’d prefer to pay the owner direct rather than through a...
