I anxiously awaited the end of our stay in Kos to be able to write a review worthy of the discomfort we experienced, but I think it is important to prevent other tourists, like us, from being fooled by the more than positive reviews of this place. The hotel appears passable, the staff is courteous and the outdoor space is large. The experience in the rooms, however, betrays even that feeble appearance, forcing the unfortunate guests to sleepless nights and battles with hungry mosquitoes. To begin with, we had asked for a double room but were given two single beds joined together. The mattresses, hard as boards, were covered only by a thin sheet. No mattress covers, no hygiene devices. I had to spray Amuchina everywhere to avoid unpleasant surprises. Even the pillows, thin and insignificant, made rest almost a utopia. When I asked for two extra pillows or at least higher ones, the front desk first turned up their noses, then agreed to give me only one (literally bargaining) and in the end I wasn’t even given that. The air conditioning is a nightmare: they give you a remote control to adjust it but in reality everything is pre-set. The flaps don’t move and so it becomes impossible to divert the flow of air while you sleep because the air conditioning is aimed directly at the pillows of the unfortunate people. You can’t let the room cool down while you’re away because the electricity works with the key. And so you try to sleep without air conditioning and at the mercy of mosquitoes that make you a succulent banquet. Every attempt to remedy this is useless: even if you sleep with the windows closed and without air, you will be forced to kill countless insects that have entered who knows how from the corridors of the hotel that are infested like a swamp. English: I asked the reception for something for mosquitoes and was given, after much reluctance, a wall socket with an insect screen. Are you laughing? The room has no other sockets except for the one for the hairdryer, over a meter from the floor. When I asked the reception if they didn't think it was dangerous for inhalation (given the position of the socket and considering the size of the room) they just said: "try it, I don't know what to tell you, there are lots of mosquitoes here". We should open a separate chapter on the bathroom and breakfast. The first, blind with a fake fan through which only the voices of the guests in the neighboring rooms pass, the second little less than basic, with inedible food and drinks that left much to be desired that forced us to buy croissants from the nearby supermarket to be able to vaguely remember what breakfast was. As for cleaning, they advised us that they changed towels every three days, but they didn't tell us that the "needs" bin was emptied with the same frequency. You can imagine the rest. The only positive aspect
