Samos City Hotel

This review is about the hotel’s cafe, as it was not possible to find the cafe separately in Google Maps and write it there.
While the waitress and the waiter were friendly and super fast to take our orders, we waited for half an hour for the simple orders of omelette and salad to arrive, and then the drinks to be forgotten and arrive even later. This happened on a weekday around 10:00. And then we had to wait in the disorganized queue to be able to pay. The employee in the cashier first asked for 46 euros and then corrected the amount to 32 euros after I objected remembering the listed prices. The food was ok, but the experience is no good.

The hotel is clean but quite old. The balconies are very close to each other, which means you might end up enjoying the view with your neighbor or being disturbed by their noise. The view is beautiful, but the closeness can be a downside.
There was a noticeable smell coming from the toilet drains, which seems to be more of a problem with the area itself. However, the water pressure and temperature in the shower were excellent. Despite the hotel’s age, I was pleased to find that there was no water pooling in the bathroom, which is a plus.
One thing I usually pay attention to in hotels is the shower curtain, and unfortunately, I didn’t find it very sterile. The hotel provided shampoo, soap, and other toiletries.
However, please take a look at the room with a queen-size bed and a sea view that was shown on the website, as well as the photos I’ve added. It’s an old-fashioned 140 cm spring mattress, and it’s uncomfortable—when you sit on one side, the other side bounces, making it feel quite small and unwelcoming.

We were there for a short vacation. An economical hotel to stay. Do not expect too much if you will spend most of your time in the hotel. Yes there is a smell in the bathroom, just don't mind open its window. The ventilator on the ceiling is a bit noisy, no problem just don't turn it on. They let your luggage stay in the hotel until your ferry leaves, just great! If you want to visit Pythagorion or Kokkari, don't take a taxi, just walk to the bus station which is only 15 minutes away by walking. Don't forget to take a photo of the timetable for planning your tour. The price for one person is 1.90 — 2.40€ which is 15-20 € for the taxi.

It is a fantastic hotel. Food and service was excellent. Next to port area where a lot of bar and restaurant next to walking path. Everything was excellent and very high standard. We felt very welcome including all my family. Highly recommended.

Samos Hotel is an older building, but has done some recent renovations. The rooms are basic but have what you need. The staff are EXCELLENT. They are friendly and helpful. When we had problems with another hotel, they went out of their way to help us and accommodate us.
The location is on the Main Street of Samos town.

Small rooms, okay breakfast, the view from our room was wonderful and the top roof pool and bar was very good. The only thing thats was bad, you cant walk to a prober beach.

We had coffee here at the cafe by the port. First time having Freddo espresso and it was awesome — thanks!
Service here was great and friendly. He let us leave our bags here for the day while we waited for the ferry to Ikaria, and let us know the port was 3km away!
Great place to stop for a coffee straight off the boat.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff but the hotel itself needs refurbishment, which I think was under way on the top floors. Our room had a magnificent view to the sea and the bay. However, the room itself was quite small and the drawings on the wall gave us the impression their purpose was to hide something rather than embellish them. The towels, though clean, were a little overused and the bed linen had little red stains here and there. In the morning, we were greeted by an army of ants in the bathroom 🤔 which was strange since we were on the 3rd floor. As for the breakfast, only the bare necessities were offered, the toaster wasn't working well, the juice and eggs seemed to be made of that powder/instant concoction, the tea and coffee horrible. The staff, on the other hand, were very polite and helpful.

This hotel's crowning glory is its rooftop pool. Lovely area with great views out towards the sea. It has comfy seabeds and towels are provided. Staff in the area are helpful.
I had a sea view with a balcony. A must if staying at this hotel as the rooms are basic to say the least. Paper thin walls. Very small bathrooms but nice products. The room was clean and the ladies who clean them are friendly and hard working.
Breakfast can we eaten outside with views of the harbour. Rolls, cake, cheese, meat, cereals and salad stuff. The coffee is poor and the 'juice' squash. The young man who clears the tables is efficient and takes a pride in doing a good job and is a credit to the hotel. I didn't like the cats and dogs joining me at breakfast, nor the loud group of Americans who were staying there. One spoke very rudely about me, she thought I was Greek. But that's not the hotel's fault.
