Overall, there wasn’t much we liked. Unfortunately, the service and overall experience did not feel like what we would e
Pros:

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much we liked.

Cons:

Unfortunately, this hotel was a big disappointment, especially considering the photos and reviews that made us choose it.

The staff were not welcoming or friendly at all. During our stay, we didn’t even receive a simple “good morning.” 😳

The hotel is located high above the sea, and you have to walk down a steep path to reach the waterfront. There is no actual beach directly in front of the hotel. To find a place to swim, you have to walk to either side and pay to access the beach.

What was even more disappointing was the lack of information from the reception. We asked on our first day about how to access the beach and where to go, but we were simply told that the information was “on the paper” we had been given. That paper only contained our identification details and provided no useful information about the beach.

The day before we left, we happened to see the hotel’s vehicle near the roadside after coming up from the beach. Only by chance did we discover that there was a hotel vehicle available to take guests back to the hotel.

Overall, do not expect a four-star hotel experience. In our opinion, the service, hospitality, and facilities did not meet the standard we would expect from a four-star hotel.

Pros:

Samos Adasında araba olmazsa olmaz. Arabanız olunca her yer size yakın oluyor. Otelin manzarası güzel. Kahvaltısı Avrupa standartların üstünde. En güzeli tarafı Omlet veya göz yumurta hazırlatabiliyorsunuz. Odalar temiz, Temizlik her gün yapılıyor.

Cons:

Ada rüzgarlı olduğu için, Küvetin oradaki pencerelerin değişik stili olduğu için banyo yaparken hem duş alıyorsunuz hem de rüzgarı hissediyorsunuz. farklı bir deneyim oldu.

Great hotel and lovely staff
Pros:

What an incredibly fantastic hotel!

Arion Hotel is on a hilltop with fantastic views of the port town of Kokkari and the surrounding hills. It has 108 rooms, in 8 separate buildings spread across well maintained gardens. The main building has a lift as there are three floors, whereas the other buildings only have two floors. On our visit there was only three British couples; most of the guests are Dutch, German or Nordic. This hotel tends to attract older guests.
The rooms are a good size and very functional.
We had a ground floor room, 109, in the main building as my wife had a recent hip operation and her mobility was limited.
Every member of staff was fantastic; friendly, very professional and engaging. The cleaner worked very hard and we had a change of towels and the room was cleaned every day
The air con was “free” but for a safe key it was €2 a day! (my only gripe).
Breakfast had a large selection of fruits, cereals, cheeses, meats, cakes, bread et al, as well as an egg station making omelettes and fried eggs which was very popular. It would be useful to label all the food as it was confusing to me as a vegetarian what I could and could not eat.
The pool was very clean and was a refreshing cool down from sunbathing. Plenty of sunlounges, even at midday. Towels cost €5 to hire for the week and €5 deposit per towel per week. These you can change every day and at the end you get your €5 deposit per towel.
There are two shifts in the bar and both teams are very friendly and work incredibly hard. I recommend the Greek Salad and Tuna Baguette; both very filling. The bar is cashless, so you either have a “tab” or pay by card.
The pool side toilets are very clean.

Getting into Town

Firstly there are only four operating taxis in Kokkari; we only ever had to walk back once as we waited for over 25 mins. Reception can order you a taxi and it is €7 per couple, so if you share it is still €7, but the driver gets €14. The taxi wait is not very long, apart from that one time.
To walk down the hill there is a track running from the pool down to the bottom of the main road. My wife has mobility issues and she made the trip down the track at least 5 times. For us the walk was not half as bad as some reviews state; you just have to be careful under foot.
