Hotel Review: Maratina, Kos I had a wonderful 10-day stay at Maratina in Kos this January. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and serviced regularly, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment throughout my stay. Breakfast was excellent, offering a plentiful selection with a good variety of options to suit different tastes. It was a great way to start each day. The front desk staff were particularly helpful, always friendly and ready to assist with any queries or recommendations. Their hospitality added to the overall positive experience. Overall, my stay at Maratina was enjoyable, and I would gladly return. A great choice for anyone visiting Kos!

We liked the rooftop bar and pool, as well as the balconies we received with the rooms. We also liked that our stay was half board which allowed us to save money on dinner.

The roof bar was low in stock, but it was explained to us that this was because it was the end of the season, which is understandable. The pool was cold but once we were acclimatised it was enjoyable. The walls were also thin, so we could hear our next door neighbours making full use of their bedroom in excruciating detail.

Breakfast is plentiful. Something for everyone. Room was comfortable and quiet. Location is great for town centre. Everywhere else I looked at was double the price. Had a lovely few days here and would come back without a doubt. Staff v friendly too.

Pool on the roof isn’t the biggest (or the warmest) but does the job. Having been delayed on my flight for three hours I got in late. I couldn’t get the air con to work but it turns out it won’t if the door is open. Apparently this is general knowledge but I didn’t know! From the second night it was working beautifully. Toilet is a bit tight if you are larger than a rake but it’s no big deal. It really is the best value for money in Kos town

Nice hotel in quiet street ideally located for bars, restaurants, good sandy beach @20 mins walk and port which was @ 15mins walk. Clean,comfortable, and friendly staff. Good selection of hot and cold foods for buffet breakfast, bottled water in room, and tea/coffee facilities. Small sports bar opposite or hotel bar available for nightcap. Lovely but small rooftop pool area and bar if you don't fancy beach or whilst waiting to leave for ferry.

Nothing really, view from room not the best but its where the hotel is situated and only there for 2 nights so not a problem.

Room was clean and light but very small, which didn't matter much as we were only there for sleeping. The location was brilliant and I loved the outside space where to sit for breakfast, coffee and a drink. The breakfast was very nice

The bathroom in our room was ridiculously small. We didn't expect much but it was small to the point of being uncomfortable. The mattresses were too soft for our old backs, but that probably says more about our backs than it does about the mattresses! The pool, which it's so extensively advertised in all their literature was closed, which was a great disappointment, although it was early in the season and I had the feeling that the hotel management was surprised by the high number of visitors. My main gripe is that the staff was very 'distant' and we could never work out if they understood what we said or asked as there was hardly ever a response... bizarre

The staff were all super friendly, nothing was too much trouble, even if they were a little rushed off of their feet and the location was perfect, a stone throws from the centre

I feel that the hotel was terribly under staffed, the bar staff (and that was 1 member only) was in charge of 2 bars, the bars are located on the basement and the roof top pool, the rooms and general maintenance. So sometimes, you could be waiting quite a while to be served, as they were busy elsewhere in the hotel

Room was nice the location is excellent, not far to restaurants ,local sites of ruins. Bathroom was a bit stained in shower. Breakfast was the same all the week but in Greece so that is what to expect . The reception staff were so helpful booking restaurant in mountains for 9 of us . Booked the mini bus for airport journey for us . Helpful with information of best places to go . Breakfast staff pleasant and kept the area tidy . Would go there again .

Just breakfast

Breakfast was incredible - fresh and so much choice, also permanent refills of everything right up to the last minute, staff were fantastic (friendly, accommodating and available 24/7), location is super central

Rooms rather small and lacking slightly in storage space/drawers/wardrobe space (but we hadn't accounted for the fact that this hotel caters more for short-term guests than tourists who stay for a week or 2 like us)

This lovely hotel is very well positioned near the harbour, old town and beaches. All within walking distance. The roof top pool is immaculate and the pool bar services cocktails and snacks. The pool.is small ideal to cool down in and it has a jacuzzi at one end. The breakfast is Greek style, delicious and plentiful. All the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

I only wish I had been able to stay longer to try all the different pastries that were available at breakfast.

This hotel is close to city center, the staff was really helpful. Breakfast was also really good

The main photos are edited, the pool area has seen its best days years ago and doesnt look like the photos. The rooms were clean but there were little things like toilet Seat or toilet door broken and many black spots at the shower room. The main bad thing is that there is really poor noice cancellation, you can hear everything outside your room and from the neighbour room them speaking clearly.
