Reviews Hotel Aegean View ****

Aegean View is a nice hotel, with exclusive views, seen from a hill onto Kos city. There many pools and nice apartments built on a hill side. They provide an excellent service bringing you to your room with karts, when you are not able to or want to walk. The food is good, it is fresh, but the variety can be better. Also, I suggest to add typical Greek dishes. Although we had some minor issues in the beginning of our stay, all were solved very quickly due to excellent service of the front desk. Thank you all for these 12 days in your hotel.

This is DEFINITELY NOT!!... a 4 star hotel!!!!!..more like 2!!

Our two week planned vacation was spoilt by the fact that this complex is so very badly maintained...10-12 year old I believe...but many many things are broken and in badly need of repair.

Look at the video that they use to promote this complex...then forget it.!!

There is no pool bar.. as seen in video..people standing in a pool being served at the bar..

Aqua Park is so dangerously in need of repair ...many children having accidents because of this!!..ALL.. the inflatable things in the Aqua Park are broken!!!.. and not fit for purpose!!

The lack of cleanliness is also shocking around all pool areas.... but more so the Aqua Park.

Our ..and many other guests complained of the same things...swimming wear having badly discoloration due to water in the pools !!

Apartment stinking because of bad drainage!!

Airco not working properly..

Food is disgraceful...over cooked...undercooked...cold ..tasteless

Many times drinks machines were empty...

Drinks are served around the pool in very small "picnic type" plastic beakers ...and are very poor quality drinks indeed!!

Animation team were so bad ..it was embarrassing

Kiddies club ladies did a great job ..considering the circumstances...PA system breaking down 5 times in our 2 week stay

The list goes on ...

Whoever listed 10 for everything in previous reviews were obviously NOT at Aegean View Kos!!!!

Thank god for the 30-35 degrees weather and the beautiful town and people of Kos..

Will be returning for sure ...but definitely not to this dump!!

Hotel is very beautyfull .. lots of swimmingpool for young and old people.. hotel staf is very friendly.. especially the hotel host alexandra kara and the staff from the poolbar.. we had a wonderfull vacation .. hopefully till next year ..

everything was just great staff food and rooms couldn't of asked for anything more and as I have said I was so happy that within a week of being back home I have booked to return in 95 days.

I was staying there for 14 days and my son and his girlfriend was staying elsewhere for a week but he too was made welcome and told he could use the pool and all facilities and this made him happy and he too will book to go back next year all because of how they treated him.

I could have saved money and stayed elsewhere but my choice had to be here were I knew they would welcome me back with open arms as they say, I wish them all the very best as that's what they would wish their customers.

Thank you

Good food, friendly kids club, many swimming pools relaxing holiday.

Aegean View is not a bad hotel but the food can be improved a lot. Everyday the same salads,fruit(watermelon) and if there is some meat in the buffet long queses of waiting people. For familys with children it's not a bad destination for young couples not so much it's located in the middle of nowhere. I don't think it's 4 stars but 3.

I urge you to ignore the bad reviews. They amount to nothing more than complaints about there being nothing for kids. That's a major plus in my humble opinion - it makes for an extremely relaxing stay. It's also shorthand for "there was nowhere for us to offload the sprogs so we could get smashed" - If you want that, go to Pontins and leave the Aegean View to the grown-ups. Truly fabulous hotel and the staff were as good as any high end hotel I've ever stayed in. Boat trip (10 Euros) was great - swimming in the lagoon whilst the BBQ was being prepared on the boat was magnificent. Pools wonderful - usual Brit nonsense about the water being freezing is, of course, nonsense. If you don't like it, stay out of the pools (gene as well as wimming...) :) Never been to a place where the staff are so *genuinely* attentive. Highly recommended and will certainly be returning.

I don't understand why people complain. We just got back from a 15 day stay. Beautiful rooms, great food; every day something different. The room was cleaned every day. Big boss is very friendly and will do anything for his guests. Nothing was asking too much. Alexia at the bar is a super woman! The view is fantastic and so is the taverna. In short: not a negative word about this residence. I would go back in a heartbeat!

In itself it is a very beautiful location. The food is not only cold but can especially be called bad. The worst thing is that the owner walks around the entire day to shout at and scold his staff, which constantly scares you as a) it is so loud and b) in the two weeks we were there, three times all the staff left. A shame, because you could really make something quite beautiful of the place.

I don't understand the negative comments and my question to all the negative reviewers is: be objective and provide details. So don't just say: the food is bad, the pool is bad…. Why is it bad and how bad is it?

Our experience was fine, even though I had some doubts because of these reviews.

The food is indeed luke warm but that's typically Greek. The location is wonderful, beautiful view. The sloping road is something they inform you about beforehand. The boat trip is free, transport back and forth is 5 Euros. Taxi from Kos city to Aegean View costs 8 Euros and not 3 Euros as I've read here a couple of times.

Recommendable: book your excursions yourself and not with the travel agent, have a look around (especially in the Kos harbour), this will save you quite an amount of money.
