Zeus Hotel

Zeus Hotel in Kefalos exceeded my expectations. The hotel is clean, modern reception area. The rooms are basic but comfortable with all the amenities needed. The staff are so friendly, kind and make you feel so welcome. The breakfast is simple with meat, cheese, bread, eggs, tomatoes and juices/hot drinks. It’s a nice start to the day and was enough for me. The swimming pool is amazing and you can always get a sun lounger even at the busy times. I’ve read some negative reviews but they seem very petty. I appreciated the people who worked hard to make my stay memorable. They remembered my name and were so sweet to my boy who turned 10 whilst on holiday. Thank you to the whole team at Zeus Hotel. I will definitely come back. So many people I met there had been before multiple times. It a true testament to this amazing gem in such a beautiful location. You will need a car to explore Kos. The hotel staff gave us an excellent deal on a car and were super flexible. First time I have drove abroad and it’s easy as the roads are well maintained. It was easy. For a holiday bought on a budget, it was the best I’ve had in years. Kos has culture, sandy beaches, some amazing traditional food venues, friendly and helpful people, fun waterpark and so much more.

Arrived late at night and shown to the room promptly.. a bottle of water would have been welcoming after travelling for long hours. Pull out bed was far from comfortable. Mosquitos are on steroids! If you’re prone to being bitten this area is not for you. Bites where done whilst in the room despite purchasing all kinds to stop the little darlings 🤣 The father and son Nick are the most friendliest of the family, the women however wore the face of a sour apple. Hardly spoke and noticed they wore the same attire every day from breakfast to cleaning carrying rubbish bags . Nick is made for the hospitality business he goes above and beyond which made our stay more likeable. End of season so limited places to eat out. The places still open served food we had no complaints about. End of season or not we are still guests and expect the same service as the in season guests. Room: balcony had not need swept before we arrived. Shower was in a poor state the shower head faces the back wall and could not be re postitioned. Towels and sheets did not get changed. If staff where all as friendly as Nicky and his father this would be a better review.. advice: smile you use less muscles than the frowns 😁

This is a lovely 2 star, family run hotel in a great location close to the beach, restaurants and wee supermarket. Pool area is spotless with plenty of padded loungers which were plentiful. The staff are super friendly and Nic always welcomes you for a nightcap after going out to eat. Only downside was leaky shower but solved by rolling a towel along the bottom of the door. Would recommend Ztours for trips to Kos Town, Nicyros Island and many more, very good value. Met some lovely people, so maybe if you're not too sociable this place is not for you. Looking forward to returning next year and exploring more of this beautiful island. Many thanks.

Lovely, clean, family run hotel. The room was small but modern and the beds were very comfortable. The shower was enclosed, which is a plus in a small greek hotel and the water was always hot and powerful. We had a nice balcony to sit on for a quiet drink in the evening which was furnished with a table and 2 comfortable chairs plus a drying rack. On previous holidays to Greece we have had to pay between 10 and 15 euros for a breakfast buffet, most of which we wouldn't eat, so I dont know why the free breakfast comes in for so much criticism. We were more than happy with the buffet of cereal, bread for toasting plus crusty bread, butter and jams, cheese and ham and boiled eggs. Plus juice, tea and coffee. It is much more than we would eat at home and if you want more it is available from the snack bar breakfast menu for a small cost. It is the family who own and run Zeus that made staying here such a pleasure. They give you a warm and friendly welcome and work tirelessly to make your stay an enjoyable one. We enjoyed our week here so much that we have booked for next year and cant wait to return.

Awful hotel, how people can go back year after year is beyond me, we arrived late at night and the bar,reception are in the same area, music was blaring out from bar but we were welcomed by the bar man! On entering the corridor to our room, thought it was quite modern wth the 'Bright Lights' all along the walls, the room how ever was completely the opposite, very old and dated, bathroom very small, shower head didn't stay up so all week we had to use our sunbed clip to hold it up, there was a gap under the door which we had to use a towel there every night, and there was a light which glowed at night in the room, we had to put a sock over it and it still glowed, very strange......but the WORSE thing about the hotel was the Breakfast, I knew it was continental but this was just an insult, it consisted of eating around the pool, on a table which u had to share wth other guests so felt you had to speak to them even if you didn't feel like talking first thing in the morning, and the choice of breakfast was Sliced cheap bread with one 4slice toaster, sliced ham and cheese which was not refrigerated, boiled eggs and cornflakes, coffee machine which was turned off at 10am and the juice was just awful syrup, if you wanted anything else even water you had to pay for it, I had a coffee on one occasion and had to pay €3 for him to part boil the kettle and a spoon of coffee from a canister We stayed around the pool just once, there all regulars who go there so are quite clicky, the beach was only across the road which was very nice but was €10 for 2 sunbeds but its worth it tbh... One possible point was the Cats 🐈 they made my stay palatable It's not a hotel for children so don't bother if you have a family, which was fine by me as I have no small children and there isn't really much in Kefalos for children Kos Town is well worth a visit though and the Volcano island 🏝 Avoid Hotel Zues, Jet2 say its a 3star, I've read its a 2star I wouldn't give it a 1 star

The Good !!about the hotel, first impressions on arrival very clean nicely laid out bar area plenty of seating. nice size pool plenty of sunbeds, staff friendly. Bedroom nice size plenty of space in wardrobe for clothing etc, shower little small but the water pressure is great. Balcony enough for two people and as we were on the end on the third floor had plenty of sunlight. The Bad!! depending on who serves you the wine measurements varie, but always small and the prices also varie, although its states on a notice board its compulsory to shower to go into the pool, there is no shower, and seems everyone is covered in suntan lotion and sweat I choose not to use the pool,no sunbeds to be reserved unless items will be removed, this does not apply, certain people reserve every morning, breakfast is poor, eggs, sliced tomatoes, ham, cheese and bread, if you want something different you have to pay. Snack bar closes at 2-30 in the afternoon and its cheaper to eat in the restaurants outside with excellent food. The rooms are not kept the cleanest, a notice states towels change every two days sheets every three, we were there 11 nights, sheets changed twice, bearing in mind you sweat a lot due to the heat, air con is expensive there. the bathroom mirror and sink never gets cleaned the tap was covered in mould, balcony never swept. Very noisy with guests going to their rooms in the night, music is always very loud, could say more but lets say will not be going there again
