Elga Aparthotel Reviews
- Advice: don't get dragged into all the bars from PR's their everywhere and won't stop until they get you in to their bars, just keep saying no and carry on walking otherwise you find yourself in a empty bar!!!

This hotel was the worst I have ever been in. In the 40 something degree heat there was no air con whatsoever, and we had our towels and sheets changed once during the week we spent there. As well as the dishes being dirty and there being limescale on the taps and showers the rooms are obviously not very well looked after as we arrived to the previous guests underwear hanging in the shower.
I would not go back to this hotel, howver i would go back to the resort as a whole.

just come back from a week at elga with 18-30 and can say it was alot better than what we were expecting for the price we paid! rooms were all very clean and the cleaner came round 3 times in our 1 week stay,pool area was very clean and looked quite new aswell! after reading some of the earlyer reviews im assuming it has been refurbished since 2008!
would defo recommend this to anyone going 18-30 not to anyone with children or for couples though,bar is 24hr and when people are in you can hear everything from all over the hotel!
we will be staying here again if we do return to kos in the future

Stayed for a week at the Elga. Basic rooms, but better than where we had stayed before. Clean,and exactly what you expect from a greek hotel. Would definetly return, Pool area was very clean, good bar prices. The location was perfect for bars and clubs, the beach was 5 minutes walk, supermarket was 30 seconds away. The 24 hour bar is good.... however, there is a lack of security which means anyone and everyone can walk in. Needless to say we were woken up at 5am with randoms "knocking" with extreme enthusiasm. On the flip side, there was no security to turn away "Unauthorized guests" (as i experienced at a different hotel)so for an 18-30 experience it was good!! *wink wink* Aside from that, good maid service. Kardamena on the whole was excellent, and we spoke to lots of other people from different hotels who had complanined about ants, cockroaches etc, none were experienced at the Elga! I would recommend it as the best hotel to stay at in Kardamena, just be prepared to be woken up a few times a night!

Before booking this holiday i had a look at the reviews some bad some good but i can honestly say we had a ball, booked club 18-30 but never took part in any of that as your cheaper paying yourself to get into clubs. The Elga was brilliant to stay in 24hr bar & the wee Irish guy Danny who worked there was SOUND! The pool is brilliant, bar food is good i would say everything about this place was Brilliant - DEFO STAY THERE! *NO AIR CONDITIONING* so you need to hire!

The Elga has to be the most amazing place to stay in Kardamena!!
Three of us went in September so it was low season, but it was still AMAZING!
Butch the legend with his crazy cocktails!
The rooms are really basic but what do you expect for an 18-30, plus it's all you need!
It's just a shame you only get one toilet roll and that has to last you, but to be fair it's not exactly going to break the bank buying a new roll or two!.
We had no deposit to pay either which was mint!!!
Make sure you head to Stone Roses bar!!! amazing music amazing people.
CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!

First of all don't read any of the reviews from over a year ago as Elga has got a new pool and it is amazing! We went with 14 of us and had the time of our lives. The location is perfect walking distance from everything so no need to waste money on a taxi to get anywhere. In the day time it was great to just chill at the pool where people from otherhotels had chosen to come to and the food was brillaint, whatever you want they had. The evening began at beer o'clock! The rooms were just what you needed spacious and the balconys were big so perfect for the pre lash to save a little money. Beds were comfortable to sleep in even better for when you stroll in wasted. Don't know what this deposit business is about as none of us were asked to pay one. 24 hour bar was the way to start and end the night especially with the bar staff lovee sadie and tiny ash (ask him what he is known for), got to know most of the other people in the hotel as everyone would just chill here for drinks and smokes! Bar Street is only 2 minutes walk, and is amazing you have to go to wicked best bar ever and toxic as well. Nightclubs were good and also just around the corner, they catered for everyone and prices were standard. Reps were babes, JENNY FOR PRESIDENT. We now are all considering working out there next year, FISHBOWL AT MARIOS LIQUID COCAINE IS GROSS BUT DOES THE JOB. In a nutshell elga was amazing and so was Kos and we would recommend it hugely to anyone. TAKE US BACK THUNNN

I have no idea where the bad reviews about the elga came from because it is wicked. i'll just paint a picture:
- smoke wherever you want
- great 24 hour bar
- great bar staff, really funny and nice
- nice pool
- loads of sunbeds
- great rooms that are clean and basic, but perfect for coming home to wasted
- 2 minute walk from bar strip and literally minutes away from the two biggest clubs
- standard prices for drinks
- near supermarket to buy food and alcohol
- spacious balconies for pre-lash
so no complaints!

Before we went out we read all these reviews and did start to have second thoughts about going out to stay at Elga. However when we got there we were proved wrong! We didnt have to pay any of this 80 euro deposit stuff although we did have to hand in our passports which we did get back the very next morning. Yes the rooms were basic, but for an 18-30's clubbing holiday that is all you need. The rooms were very clean and spacious and we had a great view looking over the pool. The night bar staff were brilliant! spent every night after coming in from the clubs with Petros and Ash watching movies and drinking! They are honestly the greatest bar staff i have ever met! Love them! The pool bar was great also, great food and lots of choice! Everyone is so friendly! Lots of the Crackers bar staff hung around at the pool - all so cheeky and friendly :) such a good laugh! Spent all our days by the pool with them. Only night we did eat out we ate at Alexandra's .. Served by the greatest american waiter ever!! lovely food and great service! If you got to Kardemena you HAVE to go to Crackers. spent every night here. Amazing atmosphere, amazing staff and not forgetting the 'ooh likey likey' dance! Would recomend the 40euro fish bowl! Location of Elga is brilliant! right next to both clubs and only a 2 min walk from main bar strip, bar street and beach. the reps we had were brilliant fun too! Matt and Boomdog. always there when you needed them and knew how to make you have a good time! Do not have a bad word to say about any of our stay. The only thing i would say is be careful of the gypsy kids. dont go out alone. Other than that im deffinately going back next year! and i wouldnt stay anywhere other than Elga! Deffinately thinking of going to work out there next year too! No argument 10/10!

me and 11 friends were on a 18-30 holiday... and if you are doing the same, go to elga! for families and couples this is not the hotel!!!
There is constantly music by the pool during the day and our reps play pool games or there are pool paties... we were constantly entertained! The owners of the hotel are lovely, they look after you well and are always on helping hand! we also had to great reps here as well, we had friends at a hotel down the road who said they didn't like their reps and preferred ours and therefore spent the week with us, they looked out for us and made sure we were having the best week possible.
In terms of the hotel rooms, they are basic but clean.. showers are anything amazing, there's no curtain and it's more of a wet room but hey, you get what you paid for and we paid cheap! there s also no fan in the room however you can pay for one in your room for £25, a friend did this and said it did't help, it was just blowing hot air at them, but me and my friend just had our balcony door open while we were in bed at night and that was fine, fresh air and it was nice and cool.
The beds are comfy enough, your not in them for long anyway after a night out, you get in pretty early and then it hard to sleep in the heat of the morning anyway, so me and my friends went down to the pool and slept there! The pool is lovely, plenty of sunbeds for everyone, great music played, lovely staff at the bar and they get everyone involved in any activities going on. It's mainly people staying at the hotel at the pool however it is a public pool and you do get members of the public come in, but their all lovely and harmless.
Best places to go in the area, for dinner go to the sea front and go Scala for dinner, gorgeous food, lovely service, fantastic night!! and for a bar before you make your way to the clubs go crackers!!!, the best bar in kardamena, when you go get mars bar shots, the staff there also work at elga during the day, they are so funny and get to know you well, so always come and give you a big hello and you a sure to have a great time in there!!
We went from the end of July to the beginning of august 2011, one of the best holidays i've ever had!!! even now at the beginning of september when me and all my friends are going off to uni, all still would go back tomorrow, miss elga, miss the clubs, miss our reps paul and elliot, miss the town and miss the banter that was constantly flowing the whole week we were there!
would definatly recommend if your going with 18-30, the hotel and our reps made sure we had the best week possible... for families and romantic getaways this isn't the place!
TAKE ME BACK TO ELGA!!!
