Palladium Hotel

This hotel is quite simply fantastic! Even though it is somewhat off the beaten track, it’s worth the walk to get places. The rooms are clean and tidy, ours was modern with a flat screen tv (not that we watched it!), shower, plenty of storage space, charging points at both sides of the bed for mobile phones, fridge and air conditioning. The bed was king size with an extremely comfortable mattress. The gardens around the hotel were pretty and well kept, we saw the gardeners working hard most days. The pool area was lovely and clean with plenty of sun beds. My only negative about this area was there were too many parasols and covered areas - I found myself chasing the sun. The bar was lovely and the staff were friendly and attentive, no details were missed. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet which included bacon, eggs etc, cold meats, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, cheeses, lovely variety of breads, cereals, fresh fruit and sweet pastries. There was orange and grapefruit juice, coffee, fruit teas and water. The maitre d, Nikos, was amazing! He was so friendly and attentive, we had many laughs with him! All the staff were wonderful apart from the two receptionists - they were not particularly friendly or helpful. Overall this is an amazing hotel and we would definitely stay here again if we go back to Kos!

The Palladium is probably considered a medium size hotel. It has 1 main pool, ample free sun beds, an indoor and outdoor seating area around the bar and an upstairs dinning area again with indoor air-conditioned and outside eating area with view of the pool and mountains. The main 2 story blocks of accommodation circles the pool on 3 sides. There is also 4 separate blocks of 2 story, adults only accommodations further back, each having their own large communal pools directory outside. The ground floor apar**ents are called swim up rooms, you literally swim up and climb out onto your patio with private sun loungers and table and chairs for 2. These are the new refurbished rooms. Some of the rooms in the older part have also been refurbished. I however stayed in one of the older decor rooms. Apart from being a bit dated, it was fine. Mattress comfortable, air con quiet. Mosquito nets on windows. Bathroom in good repair. The shower is in the bath so have to climb into the bath. Fridge with freezer shelf. Cupboard with hangers and extra pillows. Patio with table and chairs. There is a safe in the room but have to pay extra to use it. I didn't so don't know how much. The fridge and air-con come standard no extra cost. The hotel has beautiful gardens, fruit trees, rose bushes, flowers, so even the "cheap" rooms have lovely views of greenery and flowers. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. They speak German and English. The location of the hotel, Marmari, is popular with German visitors. I think the hotel is relatively new on Jet2 for UK visitors. I only stayed B&B so can't comment on the all inclusive drinks etc. The breakfast was OK. It was buffet style, self service. Cereals, fruits, yogurts, cold meats, feta and other cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumber, various bread rolls and bread sticks, toast, preserves, eggs scrambled fried or boiled, omelette, sausage, bacon, mini pastries like pan o chocolate etc. Because there's a lot of Germans, there's some German foods and don't expect the bacon or sausage to be english. Maybe German. You can buy lunch there relatively well priced, i had €4.50 for cheese ham wrap, fresh and nice. Cocktails are OK, €9. Draught beer including german Weissbeir Erdinger €5.50 a pint. Don't think they did bitter except Guinness. There was only 1 night of entertainment I experienced in 10 days, which was a greek live music and dance performance. There was music playing of an evening but seemed to be background music. There are tip jars around for everyone, the gardeners, waiters, kitchen staff, reception to leave tips at end of your stay. I left cleaners tip in my room. Another thing, don't leave your room without your room key or you'll lock yourself out. Don't leave any food even wrappers or sweet drinks out in your room or you'll get ants. The flower beds are beautiful but attract bees if you are frightened of them. Location wise, there's not much in Marmari. The hotel is very close to the bus stop t

awesome hotel..just so peaceful and relaxing. we did have the swim up pool rooms,and they are great.modern room..good air con and safe.hotel also provides beach towels which is handy. the rest of the rooms look a bit small to me tbh. all the staff are excellent and the grounds are imaculate. great breakfast and we had one evening meal which was very good. the hotel is more geared up for all inclusive and mainly german guests.but dont let that put you off its lovely.not a lot close by but just enough.the aegean restaurant close by is excellent..and summer villiage bar is great for cocktails. small shop close by for essentials too..but u can get some basic supplys in reception. short bus trip to tigaki is good..lot busier and more food choice,1.80 euro each way..(15 mins) or kos town on bus 2.10 euro each way (30/40 mins) really good bus service. beach is a relatively short walk away..so all good... enjoy :)

This hotel was amazing - the staff were fantastic and made the hotel. All of the staff were friendly and said good morning and nothing was too much trouble. We loved the adult only pool and the food at the pool side bar was really good - we were bed and breakfast and the breakfast was a buffet style and there was a choice of fruit - salad - muesli - cereal and cooked produce. The hotel is a good 15 minutes from the beach but there is a short cut. Mamari beach is lovely and there are plenty of sunbeds for hire. We walked from Mamari into Tingaki - along the beach and it took about an hour but it was very hot. Mamari has not got many restaurants and it is very quiet so we often went into Tingaki on the bus and got a taxi back which cost about 12 euros - Tingaki has a great range of restaurants and the beach is lovely - there are plenty of water sport activities available. Kos town is great and the bus leaves 5 mins away from the hotel - the bus does tend to get busy though. One evening we got a taxi back and it cost 20 euros. We hired a car a couple of days t explore the beautiful Island. Lase year we stayed in Tingaki and did the trips - the three Island tour and the Volcano trip is well worth a visit - Zia is also incredible - don't miss the beautiful sunset from here. All in all we had a great holiday here

We have just had 11 relaxing days at the Palladium Hotel. The hotel is very well maintained & very clean. ALL the staff work exceptionally hard. The food is lovely, always something to have. The desserts!! Wow!! The beach is a short walk away. And the pool area is lovely and quiet, we could always get a sun lounger. We hired a car for 3 days which was so worth it. Take a trip to Zia to see the sunset! go to the Happy Flamingo Beach & go see the peacocks in Plaka. Such a beautiful island! ☀️ efcharistó 💗

A wonderful hotel complex. The three star accommodation rating by most holiday providers doesn't do the place justice. Lovely food on our 11 night stay. Drinks are sensibly priced, and all the staff are so friendly and a credit to the establishment. The grounds are impeccably maintained by the staff. Rooms are pleasant and spacious. The aircon kept up nicely with the heatwave. Nicely laid out place. Two swimming pools. One for adults only. Wifi is free and although appears quite advanced in its protocols, it seems leggy at times and drops / reconnects often. There is a nearby vehicle hire company if you want to go off and explore the sleepy island. The location is a walk to the beach if you're up for it. It's probably a little far with children on tow. The location is good for busses and a taxi further afield. We didn't venture to Kos Town. It's quite a way and a hefty taxi fair. Lots of buses seem to go in that direction. Marmari and Tigaki are both nothing places. A few bars and a handful of souvier shops. All a bit underwhelming. A wonderful hotel if you want a week by the pool to unwind.

A brilliant hidden gem hotel is Kos. We booked this hotel on a bit of whim as there aren’t many reviews on the Jet2 website but we were pleasantly surprised. If you are after a relaxing, peaceful holiday this is the place for you. Located in the quiet village of Marmari this hotel meets all your needs. The staff are EXCELLENT and go above and beyond for you no matter what. Special mention to Alexis behind reception. We stayed in the deluxe rooms and they are beautiful and well maintained. They are located right in front of the adults only pool which is lovely, nobody reserves sunbeds and there are plenty of sunbeds to go around. There is also another pool that is child friendly and more shaded. Wide variety of food served at the buffet breakfast and dinner albeit a little repetitive but you can’t complain. Great bar, with an extensive drinks menu and in the day it doubles as a snack bar where you can get burgers, pizzas, toasties and more. Bare in mind this is an extra charge. It is also just a short walk from the bus stop to Kos town which €2.10 each way. The beach is a 15 minute walk and there are a handful of restaurants and cocktail bars on the front. Amazing hotel and will definitely be returning !
