Ilios Hotel

4 readers found this review helpful

The Hotel is clean, spacious, with well kept gardens. Rooms big with kitchen, clean & towels change every day, The pools are a nice size and are cleaned every morning, plent of sunbeds around.
Beach bus very handy even though you could walk there in 10 minuts
Tigaki has only one main street with loads of bars, restaurants and litte shops.
Kos town is 15 min away by bus with loads of shops and restaurants
Food at hotel a little bit same night after night but always something to eat for everyone. Cant expect much for that price.
Staff mostly very nice, especialy the polish girl who worked all hours but still with a smile and our daughter loved her and always wanted to go in behind the bar to her, and one of the chinise girls very nice as and polite. The blond girl at reception sometimes bit rude but Dimitra very nice and helpful.
Overall good value for the money.

We went for one week and found the food awful. Iam a vegetarian,there was virtualy nothing for me to eat. The stuff was not given any descriptins or clues as to whatit was. Fine for some ,but I like to know what i am eating.So we eat out every night, which we did not expe ct,and this spoilt our holiday.If you like germans this is the place to stay! IF you like good food go somewhere else. Could not fault the weather

We booked direct with the hotel and booked our flights via XL.com. Had a great holiday, Tingaki is a great place and the Ilios Hotel has very clean, nice appartments. We have been to Ilios once before and the Air Conditioning is definately a must have (due to the temperate in Greece and the fact that it deters any bugs).
Pool and rooms are excellent in Ilios. Breakfast is targetted more at the German guests, but it is fine.
Only one thing I would complain about at Ilios was the main bar by reception. This had fairly grumpy staff and was constintly running out of Diet Coke etc, etc. This is in complete contrast to the rest of Ilios, where all staff are friendly.
Please be aware if you have difficulty walking that it is a reasonable walk from the hotel to the main road (where all shops / restaurants are). This road has certainly got busier since we were there six years ago (our previous visit) and can feel a bit dangerous at night.
If your looking for a great restaurant, good food and reasonable then try the New Rodini - run by a lovely family who are very child friendly.
All in all a great holiday and no reason why I wouldn't go back again.

We have just returned from the Ilios hotel. On arrival it looks very good, but that's where it ends. The majority of the staff are pretty rude with the exception of a couple. The room was clean on first impressions, but was dirty really. The floor had not been cleaned from the previous occupants so not good. There was cutlery in the draws that still had food all over them & the plates were filthy. The beds were clean initially, but for the week we stayed there, they were made a couple of times but not changed. The beds are VERY hard and 1 pillow that is solid foam! The pools look great but be careful as the pool floor is very rough and you can take the skin off your feet very easily. If you want a sunbed, grab one before 7am or you don't stand a chance. It is not geared up for UK visitors and you are really made to feel this also. Be warned that if you pay for the air con, this will switch off when you leave the room as will ALL of the electric which is not handy if you need to charge things when you are out!
If you are a non smoker, this realy is not the hotel for you as 90% of the other guests when we were there were smoking permanently, everywhere!
Tigaki itself is a nice friendly resort with lots of very friendly bars, restaurants and cafe's.
We ended up having all our meals out as the food in the hotel was pretty bad and was pretty much the same every day.
Overall it was a very disappointing holiday as we had been saving and looking forward to it for a long time.
I shall be staying in the UK next year Rain or Sun!

I’ve just come home from Kos i was there from 9/7/08 till 23/7/08 i stayed in tigaki in a hotel called ilios hotel i was very disappointed when i got there to find that our room hadn’t been cleaned from the previous family staying in it and the receptionist said she had no idea when it would be cleaned "Maybe not till tomorrow" She Said!! luckily there were 5 of us So We Had 2 Rooms one of the rooms had been cleaned so we had to wait a few hours till our room was done. Not a good start. Throughout the whole holiday our room was dirty, we were given clean towels which were dirty and were full of stains, and the sheets were only changed one or 2 times.
Absolutely Full Of Mosquitoes, Had About 60 Bites Throughout The Holiday So If Your Going Here Make Sure you Take Plenty Of Repellent!!
The Food Is Awful Do Not Eat here!! very poor selection of food everything is very salty, and its full of flies, at breakfast there were flies all over the bread and rolls even one morning we found a spider crawling in the beans! And The Egg yolk Was Grey!!
The Staff Were Rude And very unfriendly.
Felt Like we didn’t Fit In As There Were Very Few English People Out Of About 300 people.
The Pools Are Nice Bit Small For The Amount Of People, And By The Time I Left It Was So Busy That There Wasn’t Even Half Enough Sun Loungers For The Amount Of People!!
Tigaki Itself Is Nice There Are Plenty Of Bars And Nice Places To Eat With Lovely Food!! There Is A Good Bus Service To Get Around However We Hired A Car For The 2weeks.
i really wouldn’t recommend going To the Ilios Hotel. Me and my family were very disappointed as we were looking forward to this holiday for months!!

Tingaki fantastic place to visit. Lovely beaches friendly people, lovely restaurants. Ilios starting to look a little tatty around the edges. Our room was rather tatty.
We have been there 5 times but going to a different hotel next year. They really need to smarten the place up a bit. But the staff are friendly.
Don’t go half board the food is terrible. But lovely food sold at the snack bar.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Ilios apartments and we have had a great time.
The hotel is well run and kept tidy and clean. The rooms where spacious and the cleaner came in every day. The towels and bedding are changed regular and the bins where emptied daily. We had the aircon for the two weeks which cost around 100 euro's but it was well worth it.
The pool area was great fun they play good music at the bar and we met loads of families and joined in games. The staff at the pool bar are great fun and had every one laughing and it’s great to sit at the swim up bar and get out of the sun for abit.
Tigaki is a lovely resort suitable for families and couples. The Greek people are so friendly and we had some delicious meals and it was very cheap to eat out it usually cost around 40 Euros for 3 of us and the was with starters, mean meal and wine. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from.
The beach was around a 20 min walk from the Ilios apartments which was a bit of a bind in the heat but it’s worth the effort. Not very good form snorkelling though we didn’t see any fish at all.
I would recommend this place to families with teenagers and younger ones looking for a taste of Greece staying at a good fun hotel that make you very welcome.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Just come back from the Ilios had a fantastic time. The rooms were spot on, very clean. The maids came in every day apart from Sunday. The pool bar was brill. The atmosphere round it was really good, Iccillis the barman was a little dream he was lovely. So was Babis the other barman in the hotel bar they all made you feel very welcome. The sun shone all the two weeks we was there. Tingaki is a lovely resort, it is a strip with loads of restaurants and a few bars ,Masgots is the best . At the end of the strip there is the beach. I recommend a trip down to Kos town and go on one of the boat trips for a fantastic day out.
I would go back to the Ilios but was my first first time in Greece so I am going to try other islands. I have fallen in love with Greece, the people are lovely and would do anything to make your holiday a good one.

I returned from Ilios 2 weeks ago and I wish I was still there! I went with my 2 sisters and my parents and had the best time ever!
The rooms were lovely nice and tidy, the food was great and the staff were brilliant.
We made many friends at Ilios especially Achileas, Babis, Youlis, Christos and loads more who enjoyed taken all of us out to the clubs in Kos and Tingaki.
Thanks guys you lot made my holiday one to remember.
I am looking to book up for next year but this time I will take my daughter with me as I think she would have loved it.
Anyone who was there at the time I was it would be nice to hear from you... I was the girl that wore the Celtic top.
Bye for now, Lisa.

Just back from Tingaki stayed at Ilios Hotel and apartments, had a wonderful time.
Apartments are basis but very clean, clean towels every day and bed lined changed twice a week.
Hotel staff friendly, there is a maid everyday who cleans and disinfects the apartment even washes the balcony, nothing is too much trouble for anyone there.
The pool is smashing there are two, although the best one is the one with a swim up bar as there are trees which shade you and keep you cool under the parasols.
Didn't eat in restaurant as we went out most nights. The snack bar is very reasonable and the food is nicely cooked, smashing coffees as well.
I can't really say anything bad about it because there was nothing bad. We are booking up again to go back to the Ilios.
