Also we knew that the apartment is located on a street, we never would have expected this extreme traffic noise. During the night it was ok, but during the day and in the evening the terrace could not be used due to the noise! When we asked for another apartment we could change to a hotel room for an extra charge. The hotel room was more or less the same apartment but on the other side of the street.
Besides the noise issue, the kitchen was poorly stuffed and the apartment was much smaller than it seems on the pictures.
We enjoyed the pool area of the hotel, however quality of the food of the pool bar is rather low - except the breakfast, which was quite nice!
By a 10 minutes walk you are in the city center of Kos with many shops, restaurants and the harbor. Also next to the hotel are some nice restaurants and two supermarkets.
Unfortunately, the beaches nearby are hardly inviting. To reach the beautiful beaches of Kos you will need a car.
