Location was acceptable and general condition of room was adequate however the configuration of the toilet and bathroom sink was absurd as it was almost impossible to sit 'front on' as the space between toilet bowl ands sink was too close. Entry door, bathroom door and wardrobe door opened onto each other and made it difficult to access these areas. Lack of drawers for clothing.

Otel çok merkezi odalar çok geniş, klima sorunsuz. Kahvaltı bu fiyat dengesine göre normal. Giriş kayıt hızlı. Otopark geçici limana almak gerekiyor. Havlular biraz eski. Sonuç olarak öneririm. Tekrar kalırım.

Sea view balcony hotel
Great location, overlooking the bay. A small walk to shops, bars, restaurant which (in October) were quiet, welcoming and cheap. Hotel WiFi a bit patchy, rooms nice but walls a bit thin, but I’ll be going back, for sure.

Great location with amazing views. The hotel is dated but has a charm with great service at hand whenever you need it. Didn’t try the hotel food so can’t comment but the roof bar by the pool was lovely in the evening. The rooms are simple and everything you need.

The location was excellent, 3 minutes from the ferry from Kuasdasi, a short stroll to all the cafes. Needs a bit of paint and tlc but it doesn't claim to be 5 star and it is excellant value.

Well located hotel in the heart of Samos Town with excellent views of the town. The staff from the serving staff, to the front desk to the cleaning staff are dedicated to making the guest stay enjoyable. The breakfast is very good. Some hotel room bathrooms require updating and the WiFi can be inconsistent, but overall the stay was enjoyable.

Great Location
You can see the hotel from the ferry dock, so it is a very convenient location and has a beautiful view of the harbour. The staff are friendly and helpful, supplying me with a printed bus schedule and directions to the bus station. It was great to have a comfortable bed and pillows. I enjoyed a lovely cappucino outside one afternoon, and a nice glass of wine while waiting for the ferry back.

Good location but very budget hotel.
Samos City Hotel is very well located, as it is opposite the ferry terminal and is very central to the town. Our room faced out the back, so had no views, but on the upside was very quiet. Beds were very wide and comfortable, however bathroom extremely small and when showering the shower curtain sticks to you and the entire bathroom gets flooded. Also the toilet seat did not stay up. The room did not feel clean enough and the TV remote looked as though it had never been clean. Staff are very nice and very helpful and know your room key number off the top of their head! Pool had moss around the stars, so did not look like it had a recent clean. The buffet breakfast was very nice with plenty of selection. Book this hotel if you want location and budget style.

Would not stay again...
We stayed for 3 nights. I had read a review from over a year ago that mentioned construction and thought that the construction would certainly be completed! The construction was road construction still going on. Seems that they have been working on the main street around the harbor for well over a year...and it does not appear to be coming to an end any time soon. This understandably is not the hotel's fault. However, the door to our room had a broken lock which was not discovered until our last night...much too late to do anything about. We couldn't get internet in our room, there was only one plug to even charge anything and it was at about chin height on the wall so we had to put something underneath it to place whatever we were trying to charge. The pool on the roof was the best amenity and proximity to the port meant no need for a taxi but we had to dodge construction to get down the street. There are restaurants near by but the city of Samos itself lacks personality. It would be recommended to stay in the town of Pythegoria. It is very attractive and endearing. For the cost I would go someplace else to stay. In addition to the negatives, the beds weren't comfortable and the room was very old and dated. If its all you can find well...just don't expect much! (Also, based on our experience the Trip Advisor awards they have received should not be considered when selecting this property...not much to show for it!)

Wrong Construction Timing
The kindness and courtesy of the employees outweighs the noisy and ugly construction looks of the area. The 2 start justifies the rooms levels and other features

Centrally located, quality review
Stayed only one night on our way from other Greek islands to Turkey but overall a good experience. Nice hotel. Rooms more than adequate. Centrally located and close to all you need in Samos city. Nice rooftop pool/sun deck even if the pool is small. Friendly informative staff. We had a problem with room allocation - we had booked a sea view but were given a garden view. It took a little arguing but it was sorted amicably. Good breakfast. Close to old port (for Turkey) but Greek ferries arrive at new port a few km across the bay. No bus from new port so you have to take a taxi.

Clean Hotel located in the heart of Samos Town
We spent 7 nights here in Samos Hotel. From the moment we walked into the hotel, the staff was so very accommodating. We had a small room with two twin beds on the second floor over looking the sea. The room was small, but very clean and worked well for our needs. The A/C worked but took some time to figure out the controls. Bathroom was small but clean. The best part was the roof top pool, great view and a constant breeze. We had lunch and drinks several times on the roof top bar, excellent food and loved the Mythos Beer. Maria at the front desk could not have been nicer. Each morning she welcomed us and helped us figure out which beach or town to explore. Maria also guided us to use the public bus, super easy, 1.5 euros per person, only problem was the irregular bus schedule. Breakfast was fair, fresh fruit, salads, breads, juice, etc.....sitting outside was a nice addition. Would recommend this hotel !!!!
