The most basic of 2* ive ever stayed in, no ketttle, t.pot, toaster, microwave, only one hand towel each and only changed once in a fortnight, bedding only changed once in a fortnight, only one plug in room, no drawer space, no hot water first thing in the morning and again no hot water later on in the evening, had to buy own toilet paper, doors rattle in their casing when windy, dogs across the road barking continuesly day and night and situated on a very busy road heavy and speeding traffic passing day and night so noisey. Would not recommend this place to anyone it was the pits. | |

Got to the Ilias at 7 in the morning and thought it was alright for what we paid. The shower is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life, and as we walked in our room it smelt of old people! It is a bit of a walk to the centre so we ended up staying with our mate who's working out there and lives much closer. If you don't mind roughing it a bit then you'll be sweet. It seemed like everyone in the hotel at some point was in trouble with the boss, I didnt think he was that bad but I only stayed there 2 nights in 2 weeks luckily. I'm going back in 2 weeks but won't be staying there!!! | ||||||||||

Just to add to the last post don't give them an excuse to bill you for anything...so you might be best taking your own towels(one provided for the week), bog roll(not provided) and maybe a sheet (because theirs aren't exactly homely and seem to become expensively damaged easily) Enjoy your stay, but book somewhere else next time, it's definetly worth the extra money! | ||||||||||

well the comment below is fairly spot on, but they have clearly cleaned up the place a bit. the owner and his wife are absolute bastads like, they have no hesitation of walking into your room without knocking!!. they charged us 20 euro for a bed sheet with shower gel on, 20 euro for an already broken chair. one night a few of th lads were pissed n cudnt get in their rooms, so he kicked them and tried to charge them 10 euro just for sleeping outside their rooms!!!. he is the most sexist owner aswell, as we barely had th music on and hed open our door n turn it off. but across th corridor the girls had the music blasting . but on the plus side the location is within stagerring distance from th clubs and the 24 bar which is all gd ![]() | ||||||||||

I have stayed in many hotels and studios all over the world and when I booked the Ilias I knew it would be basic but this place gives the word basic a new meaning however there’s already a word for this `S**t`. The whole hotel is filthy and ridden with fleas, it is not staffed and has no pool or bar. The owner of this place lives in the building next door him and his wife are to put it as politely as possible C**TS We arrived at the hotel around 3am and went straight to sleep only to be woken again at 6:30am when the owner and his wife came into our room and turned on the lights before banging around for ten minutes and then asking me and my friends to sign some forms? The following day we were out on the piss until late and got to bed around 3am only to be awoken again by the owner cleaning at 6:30 despite all this cleaning the place is still dirty and they only give you 1 towel for 2 people for the whole week, you have to purchase your own toilet paper. The third successive morning we were woken by the c*nts I had a terrible hangover so I asked that he didn’t clean our room this morning, he said he had to clean and I should "shut up" he proceeded to shout at me in Greek so I got up and asked him to leave so he told me I drink to much not that that’s any of his business, he then said he would call the police on us?? For the rest of our holiday we barricaded our room door shut at night to keep the f*ckers out they still came and hammered on our door every morning shouting at us to let them in. Then they tried to bill us 30 euros for dirty towels??? We didn’t pay. If you are thinking of staying here don’t you will regret it, if you have already booked this place try to change it, even if it costs you it will be worth it. | ||||||||||

| Me and two friends have just returned from a week's stay at the Ilias Studios. We were actually really impressed as we weren't expecting too much to be honest. The Apartment was a good size for the three of us, very basic but was clean. The location was ideal as its a 10 minute walk from the nightlife which is close enough but not too close that you can't get to sleep for all the noise! We found the cleaners and owners (who live next door) to be very helpful and friendly. I think as long as you don't play your music too loud late at night and are quietish then they're happy with that. Overall Ilias Studios are not luxurious by any means but for a week's holiday where are you not planning to stay in your apartment all day, they are ideal. There is an excellent pool with bar/snack bar in the Cleopatra Superior Hotel which is just down the road! | ||||||||||

| These apartments where exactly what i was expecting, clean and no bugs yay!! You only get two rooms the bathroom with shower (more like a footspa) and your bedroom and kitchen are in the same room. You get a small balcony with two chairs a table and even a washing line lol. One huge problem we had though where the cleaners they came everyday at 10am so you had to leave your apartment (not good when you got a bad hangover and its boiling outside). There were several times they walked in when me and my partner where asleep (not exactly fully clothed)There are many rules you have to stick to like no overnight guests, no henna tattoos (as they stain the sheets and you have to pay for them!) we experienced one problem with the cleaners/owners we invited friends round for a few drinks before we went out and one of them walked past the door and said 'just friends?' and later told us to quiet down, but we were only talking and it was only 10pm!!! The location is good with a pool right across the road which plays modern music and a beach down the road, many restaurants and i recommend you pop in sports man bar at the end of the street nicest people ever!! other than the problems with the cleaners apartments were nice and location was good. | ||||||||||

| We have just got back this morning after staying in these apartments for a week. They are just what you would expect in Greece, the cleaner comes in nearly everyday and they are in quite a good location, two minutes away from the beach and not far from bar street, excellent night life and good food. However these apartments are right on a main road and we couldnt get any sleep for the noise also we had to unplug the fridge every night as it was so noisy! | ||||||||||

| A very basic place butquite a good size apartment. Don't expect a power shower more of a dribble. If you are looking for a place that is quiet after midnight then you will be fine. One of the best bits about Kos is that all music has to be turned down at midnight, so at least you get a good nights sleep. Only a 10 minute walk from the beach and restaurants. Have a nice time if you go. If you are looking for watersports go to Banana Beach. | ||||||||||
