Hotel Platanista

A compliment to the people at the front desk and at the bar, they were really friendly and helpful. the hotel all in all was not so bad but not up to 4.5 stars standard. The prize of the hotel are very high. They need to do some improvement. Like at the breakfast buffet and dinner buffet. The food quality was quite poor. the pool and the beach were a pretty nice.

The architecture of the hotel Platanista is gorgeous. I loved everything about this hotel. Beautiful property. Great swimming pools and a nice close by private beach. Superb hotel ! Highly recommended !

Schöne Hotelanlage, große helle, gut isolierte Zimmer mit Balkon/Terrasse und immer frisch gemachten bequemen Betten (mit deutschem TV, leiser Klimaanlage und ebenerdiger Dusche), im Juli/August mit Animationsprogramm, reichhaltigem Buffet und eigenem Strandabschnitt in 2 Min. Laufnähe (kostenlose Liegen und Sonnenschirme), 2 große Pools und Poolbar. Die Frühstückszeit für Urlauber ist grenzwertig (7:30 bis 10:30 und man findet früh kaum einen Tisch, 6:30 bis 12:00 wäre besser), die Getränke (Flasche Wein 25 EUR, Cocktails 11 EUR) komplett überteuert. Der Pool ist nur von 10 bis 18 Uhr geöffnet, in Ruhe schwimmen Fehlanzeige. Die Hinweise (keine Liegen besetzen, Abendgarderobe) werden von den meisten Gästen ignoriert und vom Hotelpersonal nicht geahndet. Das Restaurant-Servicepersonal ist (bis auf wenige Ausnahmen) langsam bis unfreundlich - Tische bleiben ewig unabgeräumt, es fehlt Besteck, Getränke dauern ewig (extra, nicht im Preis enthalten). Es gibt zwar einen Kühlschrank aber keine Minibar, der kleine Kiosk im Hotel verkauft keine Getränke. Der Pool ist immer voll, der Strand liegt nicht direkt am Hotel (über eine Straße) und ist steinig (Einstiegshilfe über Sandsäcke). Der vorhandene Minigolf-, Tennis- und Volleyballplatz hat keinen Sonnenschutz und ist im Hochsommer eigentlich nicht bespielbar. Kos Stadt ist in ca 30 Min zu Fuß (10 Min Fahrrad) erreichbar, der lokale Bus ist unzuverlässig und Taxis im Sommer kaum verfügbar.

Hotel Platanista exceeded our expectations (Like it did 21 years ago when we were here the first time) . The hotel itself is stunning and very well maintained. Our rooms very very spacious and clean and offered everything we needed. All staff members are accomodating and paid attention to our needs. Especially Julia and Ria were very lovely The Center of Kos can be reached by a 30 minute walk or by Bike or Bus and offers some nice Sightseeing opportunities. All in all a wonderful vacation in an awesome Hotel

Purtroppo il sevizio non è stato all altezza delle aspettative di un 4 stelle anzi 4 stelle e mezzo come scritto all ingresso dell hotel. Abbiamo richiesto varie volte informazioni circa auto a noleggio e trasfer dal porto con largo anticipo piu di un mese ma non abbiamo mai ricevuto risposta. Alla fine ci siamo dovuti arrangiare chiedendo al porto e perdendo molto tempo. Inoltre al check in e al check out la nostra prenotazione era stata scambiata con un altra chiedendoci meta della spesa che invece era gia stata pagata. Quindi un servizio non all altezza di quello che ci aspettavamo. Infine non consigliato per coppie perche struttura enorme e piena di famiglie con bambini piccoli quindi molto rumorosa sia giorno che notte.

Dimitra on reception was really helpful Great service overall, 2 great pools!

Excellent hotel, enough space in the parking, restaurant nearby, you can also rent some bikes. Breakfast was very good, but unfortunately it wasn’t possible to have it on the terrace at 7:30.

Türen viel zu dünn - man hört alles von draußen Obwohl die Balkontüre zu war hat man dennoch die Hühner gehört Essen könnte mehr variieren - immer dasselbe Abendessen hat uns leider nicht überzeugt, daher haben wir immer auswärts gegessen

Struttura confortevole, pulizia accurata. Personale sempre disponibile e gentile. Buona posizione: pochi km dal centro.. quanto basta per essere vicini ma anche isolati dalla confusione notturna di Kos. Unico appunto:mancanza di un ascensore per accedere ai piani.

It was great. Very family friendly. Great amenities.Empty beaches . Great property.

Very nice comfortable rooms (superior). Nice communal areas and all very clean.Only negative is that the drinks and snacks are a bit expensive, and not great quality.

Beautiful hotel with great swimming pools. Staff are all lovely & very helpful

Wonderful resort, great location, excellent service, amazing facilities, food was great. Will be back next visit to Kos.

Hotel pulito, camere moderne e buona varietà di cibo. Unica pecca: la spiaggia. Per raggiungerla bisogna attraversare una strada trafficata e il mare non è’ facilmente accessibile, soprattutto se avete dei bambini piccoli.

hôtel charmant avec un petit dej et diner variés mais petit. les chambres sont confortables mais salle de bain minuscule. les transat sont pris d'assaut dès le matin et rapidement il n'ya plus de place. le gros bémole, pas de kids club pourtant indiqué sur hotels.com. c'etait pourtant l'un des mes critères!

I would like to thank you to all staff and management, they all working with happy face and all is supportive, helpful. Service is great, cleaning is great. Enjoy your holiday if you want to stay in this hotel. Close to town and beach.

Amazing place to stay. Do not lose the opportunity to rent a bike and go to the sorroundings and town.

Einwandfreies Hotel, sauber, modern ausgestattet, gute Betten, ruhige Lage, Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und große Auswahl in wirklich guter Qualität. Großer Pool. Wir waren in der absoluten Nebensaison da. Das Hotel schloss 3 Tage nachdem wir abgereist sind. Von daher waren vielleicht noch 20 Zimmer belegt. Wie ruhig das Hotel in der Peak Saison ist, kann ich also nicht beurteilen. Aber, wie gesagt, sonst alles tiptop.

Really lovely hotel in excellent location. Peaceful spot but east to get to a number of very good beachfront restaurants and Kos marina. About 30 minutes walk to town or safe cycle/scooter routes all along road. Staff cannot do enough for you and very friendly. Special mention to the beautiful Bengal cat who lives in the hotel and visited us in our balcony every day 😻

Clean, very kind staff, beautiful rooms

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at Platanista hotel! Everything was very nice! Staff is extra nice and professional. Food was exellent!

Beautiful hotel, excellent food, well-kept surroundings and superb swimming pools, comfortable room, very friendly staff.

Couldn’t fault this hotel. From the staff to the amenities and cleanliness, everything was top notch. Felt very well looked after and any question we had was answered by the very friendly staff. I’m not normally one for the entertainment section at hotels, but I must admit that the entertainment here put a smile on my face. We walked most days to the old Kos Town, but the hotel will happily arrange a taxi if needs be, which we did in fact use for an evening to watch the sunset in Zia. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to visit Kos.

We had a great stay at the hotel. The staff was friendly and did the best to make us enjoy the offered services. At the restaurant there was a wide choice for breakfast and dinner, not always of a mediterranean cousine tough. The room was comfortable and daily cleaned, we appreciated it very much.

I can't fault the property. It's clean comfortable and a good selection of food. The drinks are expensive but that's expected of a hotel. The walk to the beach you have to be super careful, as the walk down from the hotel is very narrow and on that lane is a vehicle hire company and coaches and cars are up and down there every minute. You have to cross a major road to get to the pebbled beach, if you have kids it's mega dangerous. The beaches are man made with brought in sand and the walk into the sea is very bad as the beach is made of large stones. Wrong side of the island really if you have children.

Beautiful, new facility. Excellent breakfast.

Εξαιρετικά !!!

Personale gentile e cortese. Noi avevamo mezza pensione e vi era sempre varia scelta giornaliera (essendo i pasti a buffet). Camera pulita ogni giorno e letto king molto comodo e spazioso.

Modern rooms, nice hotel.

Dinner only in pants mandate is a bit much, shoes maybe, but pants in july is a bit much. 😉

Unsere Ferien auf Kos im Hotel Platanista waren perfekt. Das Hotel war sehr sauber, das kulinarische Angebot vielfältig und das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Alles in allem eine sehr gute Erfahrung, weshalb wir das Hotel Platanista definitiv weiterempfehlen können.

Great hotel, wide spread, with nice landscape ang good rooms

I stayed in a brand new room, I was the first to use it. There was an issue of the bolt lock not working when I arrived, but was fixed the next morning. The room was very clean, everything was new and the bed was comfortable. I had a great view of the pool and property from the balcony. Although the room was great, there is no sound proofing and I could hear every footstep and conversation in the hall. This woke me up a few times late at night or early in the morning. The serving staff in the restaurant area and cleaning/maintenance staff in the hotel were very kind and helpful. The front desk staff seemed to only want to help at a minimum. Overall, the pool/room/beach were 5 stars!! Beautiful hotel!

Good hotel not too far from Kos Town (30 min walk). Very clean and lovely staff.

dit is de 6 e keer dat wij dit hotel boeken

Sehr schöne Anlage in der Nähe vom Zentrum. Bushaltestelke direkt in der Nähe, Velo und Autoverleih neben em Hotel.

The hotel is lovely and clean with everything you need. There are two big pools, the pool area is well looked after. The standard of food is very good, but what makes this hotel exceptional is its staff.

Bellissime piscine ed aree verdi ben curate. Colazione a buffet buona ed abbondante, con cibi per tutti i gusti. Bar a bordo piscina con spettacoli tutte le sere. Non abbiamo provato il ristorante, aperto solo alla sera (obbligo pantaloni lunghi per gli uomini). Unico problema riscontrato nella errata gestione del mini bar in camera (attribuzione di consumazioni mai effettuate), amplificato dall'atteggiamento in merito poco rispettoso da parte di un addetto alla reception al quale mi sono rivolto per protestare, il tutto comunque risolto con gentilezza e professionalità da parte del Direttore dell'hotel. Il personale della struttura è risultato essere in generale gentile e professionale.

Nydelig hotell, men enkel standard på rommene. Harde senger og vi de rygger passer ikke sammen. Syns familierommene var for små til å dele med tennåringer. Hadde kanskje fungert med yngre unger. Veldig hyggelige ansatte!

We could not fault this hotel and would highly recommend.

Sehr freundliches, serviceorientiertes Personal. Man fühlt sich gleich wohl und willkommen.

Miellyttävä lomahotelli. Pyörävuokraamo hotellin vieressä, pyörien vuokrat edullisia ja pyörätie kulkee isomman tien ja meren välissä. Aamiainen hyvä.

Super Hotel in quiet location along the bay from Kos Town. Excellent facilities in beautiful surroundings, including a ‘must visit’ spa. This is a real haven for those who just want to relax in the sun at the end of the season.

Staff were great. Food was really nice.

Good location for holidays, beach is in 3 minute walking distance. Sunbeds and umbrella for 5 Euro

Gute Lage und rascher Zugang zum Strand. Freundliches und aufgestelltes Personal. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit für 14 Tage und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Zimmer waren immer sauber und nette Gesten gehörten ebenfalls dazu.

Wir waren eine Woche hier. Das Hotel ist schön gelegen. Etwas weiter weg von der Straße, dadurch schön ruhig. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Familienblock, somit war es ruhig trotz der abendlichen Animationsshow. Der Strand ist sandig aber im Wasser sehr steinig. Kleine Tavernen sind gleich nebendran. Man kann dort gut essen. Die Bushaltestelle ist ebenfalls dort. Man kommt schnell und günstig in die Stadt. Ebenfalls neben dem Hotel ist ein Verleih von Fahrrädern, Autos, Quad etc. Rundum alles da. Man kann das Hotel mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Heel vriendelijk personeel, goeie service. Eten aan de poolbar is zeker een aanrader. Ontbijt en avondeten was ok. Wij hadden een deluxe kamer geboekt, zijn pas gerenoveerd, heel netjes, airco werkte perfect, ook overal wifi, zeker een pluspunt. Ook geen handdoekjes leggen van 's morgensvroeg, hotelgasten zijn deftig publiek. Wij hadden zeker een vakantiegevoel!

Lekker eten, fijn zwembad dat ruim genoeg was voor iedereen, met genoeg ligbedden, heerlijk eten en vriendelijk personeel.

Wir waren 9 Tage im Hotel Platanista in einem Deluxe Doppelzimmer untergebracht. Bereits der 1. Eindruck war überwältigend. Die Hotelanlage ist sehr schön gestaltet - es gibt mehrere Häuser mit 2 Etagen und keine Riesengebäude, was die Anlage sehr stilvoll und angenehm macht. Die Hotelanlage ist sehr gepflegt und schön gestaltet. Es finden verschiedene Aktivitäten statt, wie Aquafitness, Minigolf, Beachvolleyball am Strand etc. - allerdings ist dies alles sehr dezent und in verschiedenen umliegenden Bereichen, sodass man trotz den Aktivitäten ebenfalls entspannt am Pool liegen kann (es gibt 2 Poolanlagen - ein Pool für Kinder und Animationen etc. und ein "ruhiger Pool"). Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig - unter anderem wurden auch jeden früh frisch Spiegeleier & Bacon, Pancakes, Waffeln und Crepes für jeden persönliches zubereitet. Außerdem gab es eine große Auswahl an süßen und Herzhaften Speisen. Die Zimmer waren immer sauber und die Klimaanlage funktionierte sehr gut. Die Rezeption schien allerdings immer etwas unfreundlich bzw. nicht sehr "Serviceorientiert" - auf verschiedene Nachfragen (Briefmarken für Postkarten, Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, Erklärung der Busse vor Ort) gab es meist nur sehr kurze Antworten und uns fehlte hier etwas die "persönlichere Note". Außerdem sprach bei uns auch nie jemand deutsch, obwohl das Hotel damit wirbt, dass auch deutsch gesprochen wird. Zusammenfassend ein sehr empfehlenswertes Hotel.

Niets dan lof over het hotel. De luxe kamers zijn prachtig. Het eten overtrof mijn verwachtingen meer dan, zo gevarieerd en elke dag vers. Ook wad het er heel erg netjes 2x daags poetsservice op je kamer. Het personeel erg vriendelijk. Kortom echt een aanrader prijs-kwaliteitverhouding was top!

Das Hotel ist sehr schön. Der Außenbereich sowie der Poolbereich sind architektonisch sehr gut gestaltet. Der Poolbereich war nie überfüllt. An der Snackbar wurde außergewöhnlich gutes Essen und nicht nur Snacks serviert.

We wanted a very good hotel (4-5*) in a quiet location within walking distance of Kos town. The hotel was fine but very big and rather noisy for our liking. Ideal for families but not for couples looking for complete relaxation. The location was good but on the first night when we were trying to get our bearings and looking for restaurant recommendations, the reception staff were not helpful. We had no idea of the length of time to walk to Kos town and they could not recommend anywhere to eat - not ideal to say the least. We had to pay for the use of a safe and also pay for pool towels - something we have never had to do in any other hotels we have stayed in. The hotel was clean but the room was very small and basic. I would rate the hotel as 3-4* rather than 4-5*.

Overall I had a great experience in this hotel. The stuff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and the breakfast had a large selection of items. I mostly swam in the sea but the pool was good.

Great, fantastic and very easy to arrive in every part of the island

This was our first time in Kos and it shan't be our last. The hotel was superb, the whole place was very clean. The pools are a great size and not over crowded. There is a towel on the loungers obsession which is a tad annoying but I am not sure what they could do about that. All in all we will definitely be back :)

Great friendly hotel/resort . Brilliant staff especially on the pool bar and Spartak on the main bar. Fun cheesy activities for all day and night Slightly dated room decor but totally clean and well presented. Excellent communal areas.

Ein wirklich super Hotel. Alles sehr sauber und in gutem Zustand. Das Personal immer da, wenn man es braucht und stets freundlich. Frühstück umfangreich und von hoher Güte. Lage des Hotel ideal. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

We stayed three nights in total at the beginning and end of a yachting holiday. The hotel was very attractive and comfortable. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The swimming pools were very clean and in a good setting. Breakfasts were excellent. The only thing that let the hotel down was that the evening meals were buffet style rather than waiter service.The quality of the evening meal was acceptable, but we had much better meals in local tavernas during our stay. The buffet was cleared away at nine o'clock which we felt was too early. Having gone down to dinner at 8.30 on our first night, we nearly missed our main course and sweet. They were clearing away as we collected our main course so we had to hastily collect both main course and sweet. We had been told that the dining room was 7.00 until 9.00 but assumed that 9.00 referred to last orders. We had a superior room for our first two nights and a standard room for our last night. Both were very clean and comfortable and virtually the same size. The superior room had a jacuzzi, bath robes and different toiletries, but in our case the standard room had a bigger balcony and a better position and view.

Absolutely lovely hotel. Very clean, excellent staff who were all very cheerful and helpful. Rooms very nice, clean and good aircon and mini bar. Food, really good selection for breakfast(we did not eat in the evenings there), but could see the food choices looked good. All bar staff really friendly. Really good measures. Not bad prices. Pools x2, plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. Poolside snack bar - excellent, staff and food. All food freshly cooked, recommend the gyros and pizzas. Prices not bad for quality of food. Good position of hotel. Bus from end road 3mins Into Kos town. Good bar opposite bus stop 2euros a pint. Lots of lovely restaurants in the old square in Kos, in particular one called Select. Restaurants along the road from hotel. - Nestoras and Blue Ocean. Both very good.

Platanista is a lovely hotel located 3km out of Kos Town with 2 great pools and excellent accommodation. The food is average and the staff are rather abrupt but we stayed b&b and were very happy with the pool bar for lunch where the staff were my friendlier. We hired bikes to cycle into town in the evening to eat where there's a great choice of restaurants.

This hotel has very friendly & helpful staff, very good food & decent facilities. We had standard, garden view rooms, which were a nice size. We booked half board & the quality & variety of the meals was excellent. It is family friendly, with plenty for kids to do. Its' location is a little bit 'out of the way', as there is not much in terms of bars/restaurants/shops very near to the hotel. However, Kos town is 10 mins by bus or 5 mins by taxi (€6-7). This hotel is ideal for families or couples, who just want a quiet, relaxing holiday around the pool. If you like being right in the middle of things, it's not the place for you.
