Nicon Studios & Apartments Reviews
" Total Relaxation. "
Submitted By: ANNIEB@KENT
This was our 2nd visit to the Nicon. It was so nice to be recognised by the owners and made to feel so welcome. Having had a stressful few months prior to this holiday, but I relaxed completely during my stay.My son ,aged 13,had a wonderful time-spent a lot of time in the pooland chatting to new friends. We had a studio,which was on the ground floor.I usually prefer an upper floor, but I got quite fond of sitting on the little terrace and 'chilling'.The Nicon is in an ideal location, about 20 minutes walk into Kos Town, so it's not too noisy, and is a very safe environment for families.
We went on a trip to Nissyros-an unforgettable experience.Walking around inside a volcano is something not to be missed, even on a very hot day!
The Greek Niht at the Nicon is great fun-practise you 'Zorba' routine before you go!
All in all, this was a relaxing , enjoyable holiday in a friendly,cheerfu environment.
We shall definitely be returning.

" We went to Kos for a week of... "
Submitted By: Mr T Caswell
We went to Kos for a week of kitesurfing and booked the Nicon because it was cheap. We were amazed with the way we were looked after and with the cleanliness of this place. We were even more amazed to find Nico - barman/son of family was also mad on kitesurfing. He came with us on all wind days and showed us that Kos is a top kitesurfing island which is massively underrated. We loved the Nicon and all the family and staff.
If you are a kitesurfer stay at the Nicon and hire a car for your stay. Head to mamari, kohillari, ramira beach or tingaki for some top action. At the end of the day head back to the Nicon bar where you and Nico can big yourselves up (Nico loves having his ego pampered a bit).
Must not forget to mention Kostas and Tollis who also work at the pool bar. Both are a great laugh and both are extremely tallented singers! They should be on a stage somewhere.
Many thanks for a killer holidays guys!!!

" We had read all reviews for this... "
Submitted By: Mrs Hayley Brown
We had read all reviews for this hotel and 99% were very positive. We were sure there must be something wrong but there wasn't. We could not have had a better holiday. The hotel was spotless with the day bar staff Ellie, Tina and Phillis constantly cleaning and tidying all the pool area. The snacks were reasonably priced and delicious. Tollis and Nico were very friendly and kept us entertained in the evenings. The Greek night is a must - great fun and good value. We ate at The Blue Ocean on the sea front quite a few times as the service was excellent, sunsets were magical and prices were reasonable. George at The Music Bar was great company and the prices were good there too. We hired bikes to get to Kos Town (very busy) which was a great idea - too hot to walk! We loved the laid back, relaxing, feel of this resort and we will be returning as often as funds will allow - many of the guests at this hotel return year after year and have made lifelong friendships. I can definitely see why!

" The single-room apartment we had was... "
Submitted By: Mr J Bennison
The single-room apartment we had was simple but spotlessly clean (cleaned daily by the staff) - it had a dual hob, fridge & sink which given that we ony ate in every other night was quite adequate.
For those nights we ate out it was very well located, being only 10-15 mins bike ride from Kos Town centre, though to be honest we found the tavernas to the right at the bottom of the road the apartments are on (taking you away from the town centre) were far better value and seemed to be more highly recommended by people that have been there before.
It's well worth hiring bikes, which we had for nearly the entire time we were there.
A special mention has to go to Nikos and Tolis, who work at the pool bar in the evenings. They made us feel extremely welcome and it was a testiment to their hospitality that the other guests accepted us as well; despite being our first time there we now know a number of the people that have been going there for years thanks to them.
Provided you're not expecting five star accommodation I would wholeheartedly recommend the Nicon Apartments to friends and family and (fingers crossed) we'll be back in the not-too-distant-future!

" This visit to Nicon was my 3rd... "
Submitted By: Miss L Powell
This visit to Nicon was my 3rd occasion. I have been three years in a row! I would recommend it to anyone, couples families and any age group, I suppose apart from 17-19 year olds looking for nightlife 24 7, However Kos town just up the road is very lively for young people.
The apartments are clean and have all you need, there is sky TV if you want to watch TV on holiday! Which I did not!
The pool is a nice size, there is food served all day at the bar which is good. There are restaurants and bars just 2 mins walk up the road and the supermarket is 30 seconds away from the Nicon.
The best part for me was the bar at night time; they have a Greek night which is really good for entertainment and a piss up! They also have karaoke night which is really good and Tollis and Nic provide all the entertainment you need, they really go all out to make sure you have a really great holiday!
In fact 2 days after I got back I booked to go again in October. Can't wait!!

" It was my first time in Kos and... "
Submitted By: Miss T Nice
It was my first time in Kos and Greece altogether so I was a bit apprehensive as to what to expect for accommodation as it is very different from your typical Spanish holiday. When the Thomson coach pulled up outside the Nicon Apartments the driver was very helpful and unloaded our entire luggage. We then walked to the front of reception where Spiros greeted us and gave us keys to the rooms. The rooms were quite small but they grow with you as you get used to them but there is plenty of room for everything you could possibly need in there. The beds were comfy and the atmosphere was very homely.
The mornings were very friendly as Tina served breakfast at the pool snack bar and was chatting to all her new guests and welcoming them onto the resort which is nice, as not many other hotels do that. The tavernas were very nice, reasonably priced and served good food for the money. I would recommend the two tavernas just down the road from the Nicon site where you have the options to eat your meals on the seafront with the wave’s right next to you, very relaxing if you ask me. The evenings at the poolside bar in the Nicon were amazing, Nikos and Toilis were an absolute delight to have on site, they were fun, friendly, entertaining and most of all fit! They were great guys and did everything they possibly could to help their guests in the small but friendly family run studios.
Our Thomson rep (Claire) was helpful, always on sight whenever you needed her and she set a good example of fitness by riding her pushbike. There was David’s motors next door to the Nicon where I hired out a quad bike for 2 days and did my own exploring of the island of Kos, beautiful scenery.
Would love to go back as soon as possible to the Nicon, especially to see my friends Nikos and Tolis!

" We went to the Nicon apartments in a... "
Submitted By: Miss J Thomson
We went to the Nicon apartments in a group of four (2 couples) and we were a tad bit worried about the place we had booked especially after looking at some of the other reviews.
We are all aged between 18 and 25 and we all loved it, Nico and Tolis were brilliant, as were Spiros and Nan!! The apartments are regularly cleaned and the pool was really tidy.
We are all going back in may next year and that shows just how much we loved it! You rarely feel the need to venture into town at night as Nico and Tolis will keep you entertained while filling you full of shots and cocktails! Remember Yamas and you'll get on just fine! 10/10 apartments!

" Very clean apartments and pool etc.... "
Submitted By: Mrs C Hyndman
Very clean apartments and pool etc. The accommodation was very close to Kos town and if you don't want to walk the bus service is really good.
One of the highlights of the stay was bros theme which is where the hot waters from underground volcanoes flow out in to the sea like having an outdoor bath - very worth the walk.
The real down side though was when we had to report a problem with the apartment - the toilet was continually flushing and the balcony lights had blown a fuse, we were in our opinion treated very unfairly. The person we spoke to was rude and unhelpful to the extreme. Have in fact never been treated like that in any other place we have stayed in and for that reason alone will never recommend the Nicon to anyone
Other than that Kos is lovely, the Kos town beautiful and every one else we met was friendly and warm.

Submitted By: Miss H Beale
Nico was a very nice and friendly atmosphere. Me and my partner would recommend going there to anyone. We went for 2 weeks and it was fantastic.
All the staff were very friendly, many thanks to Tina for her Gyros burgers - they are very nice. Also many thanks to Bleddy and Nico for their shots and karaoke!!
Nico apartments are the cleanest of apartments that I have stayed in, this is the second time me and my partner have visited Kos island and we have found Psaldi to be a lovely place to stay.
The short walk into Kos town roughly takes about 20 minutes not 40minutes as Nudge the Rep suggested.
See you again soon xx

This was our eleventh year at the nicons, every year gets better and we always meet other guests who have returned, the staff are friendly and make all feel welcome. I wouldn’t miss a Summer at the nicons for anything we love it.

It is close enough to Kos town and many good bars and restaurants, but you don’t need to go out all the fun happens in the nicons. Needless to say we will be going back next year. <br>

Prices: expensive need for 2 couple about £100 a day,Euros and Pounds doesn't make any differences, lovely trips to Turkey £66pp, scuba diving £62pp, Volcano in Nissyros £50pp was worth to spend the money on that, never forget the experience.
