Doryssa Theorem Hotel

We stayed in this hotel for four nights in late May. The hotel is modern and appears to have been converted from properties on a side street near the harbour. The conversion is superb, without any noticeable sign of separate properties. It has 60 rooms over three floors. We did not notice any arrangements for the mobility impaired - whilst we are sure that the hotel would strive to help the very style of it does present difficulties. There is no lift. We arrived by ferry and the hotel is a 10 minute walk with hand luggage from the port. A taxi would not be necessary unless guests had substantial luggage. There is an airport on Samos which is less than 5k from Pythagorio. We are not aware of any car parking on site and it is quite impossible on the surrounding roads. But there are a number of car parks in fields around the town. The reception area is minimalist with a desk at the head of the entrance steps. The desk guards the staircase to the upper floors and looks onto the bar and breakfast room. There is some soft seating in the bar area but it is insufficient. There is an outside terrace across the front of the hotel which is very pleasant but not made for lounging – this has tables and chairs for dining and indeed is accessible from the breakfast room. The hotel has a spa and a gym – we did not use either – and it has no pool. Our room was a junior suite on the top floor overlooking the road and therefore without any views save to the town. The suite was a single room with a room divider which could be used as a desk. The sleeping and sitting areas are therefore separate. There is a hanging rail in the lobby area with no wardrobe, beneath the hanging rail there is one full shelf and one half shelf – this arrangement caused us no problems (we travel light) but for some guests it might mean storing clothes in suitcases. There is a Nespresso machine, a refrigerator (with water) and a safe. The bathroom was open plan with a wash-hand basin preceding a walk-in shower, the whole tiled in stone. The towels were high quality and the toiletries excellent. There is a separate WC. The room is undoubtedly stylish. It is well kept and nicely decorated. This suite had two opening windows onto a balcony with a table and two chairs. The sitting area in actuality had a fold-up bed as a sofa but of high quality. There was a coffee table and two comfortable easy chairs. The bed was very comfortable with high quality linen. The suite was situated at the head of a staircase and is only one floor up from reception and the breakfast room, in consequence there was some noise although it was not too prevalent. There was minor noise from the street. The wifi was excellent and the air-con very efficient at both heating and cooling. Housekeeping was excellent. The interior of the hotel was clean and tidy and well maintained. Servicing and caring for the areas appears constant. Only breakfast was available although snacks could be o

My wife and I have just returned from a week at Doryssa Theorem. It's located about 100 metres from the harbour area and very convenient for the many tavernas, shopping, etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful and our room was great with a huge and very comfortable bed, excellent shower and other facilities. It also had a small balcony where we had our cups of Nespresso (and a cigarette) before breakfast. There was a huge choice for breakfast, which we ate on the terrace under the shade of an orange tree. The hotel itself is immaculate and the service impeccable. We are looking forward to staying at the hotel again in May next year.

This Doryssa Theorem hotel was an amazing stay for us. Has everything we wanted. Great bed, great sheets and pillows. Nice rain shower with hot water. Great air conditioning and creature comforts. Hot tub and wet steam for guest. Quiet location hey only 50-100 metters from private beach and restaurants. Staff was attentive and nice. Breakfast included was a special aurprise and had much to chose from.

Great and central hotel. Close to both the city centre and the beach. Super nice atmosphere and great service. Good breakfast with Greek foods. Newly renovated with nice Japandi style/interior. Best hotel in Pythagório / Samos. We loved it!

Doryssa Theorem is a very good hotel. Exclusive interiors, high quality materials, comfortable beds, tasty and varied breakfast, service minded staff. So, there shouldn’t be a problem. But there are some details that need to be improved before getting an even higher rating from me. Breakfast is tasty and has a lot of varieties to offer. But the fried eggs should be warm, not cold. The same goes for the bacon and sausages. Warm bacon and sausage is a lot better than cold. When the breakfast opens at 6:30 everything should be at place 6:30, and not 6:40-6:45. The fridge in our room was not working, and after some fixes (quick response from the staff!) it gradually got a colder. After 24 hours(!) it was almost cold but not really cold. It could take 2 bottles of beverages but cooling 3 bottles was beyond its capacity. Undersized fridge? The Air Conditioning was also undersized or had some other issue. Even when we set the AC at +19 C with fan speed at maximum the room was never cool enough. I have stayed in many hotel rooms and often the problem is the opposite, the room can easily get overchilled. But here we struggled to get below what felt to be like 24-25 C. We never made any complaints though, perhaps we should have? But the parameters were set to maximum cold so what more could a receptionist have done? The room, the bathroom, and the bed were of ambitious standards and comfortable, there are few places to put your belongings. You had to keep most of your things in the suitcase on the floor. A bit frustrating. I tried every night to find at spot to put my phone, my tablet, my book, and my glasses within reach, but this was a difficult task. Those who have designed the rooms are perhaps not accustomed to staying in hotels and meeting these tiny but vital details? 😊 It may sound as I am very disappointed? But I’m not. Doryssa Theroem is good! But since the whole hotel says “high quality” these details stand out. Thank you, for a pleasant stay!

A delightful stay with impeccable service in a modern oasis. Clean rooms, amazing drinks, and great breakfast. Helpful staff and top-notch recommendations. I really loved Samos and Doryssa Theorem!!!
