Astir Odysseus Kos Resort and Spa

Super Buffet, sehr schön sind die Pools riesige Anlage nur der Strand ist steinig. Personal freundlich Clubhotel draußen herum ist fast nix

I returned to Astir for the second consecutive year. As always I had a great time. They offered us two lunches for water problems that affected our room. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Conveniently located if you want to get to Kos Town

So we went to this resort thinking 5 star.. A few things have been abit weird! Firstly the rooms that are shown in the pics for twin garden or balcony view are not exactly as the pic, less furniture and more Clinical then I imagined… so a bit disappointing but manable. It states clearly on website that u get a nespresso machine in room, I took my own decaf pods only to discover no machine and getting one was hard work to say the least!!! Had to ask at reception and then I had to take my own nepresso pods up there in there box for inspection before we were allowed a machine that was delivered to our room the following day! One day house keeping left the back door open, remembering mind we were ground floor, with passports and valuables left in our room, I thought this was very poor… The mini bar was meant to be restocked every day, this was a novelty as normal don’t do all inclusive so when that had been missed that was yet another phone call to reception.. Then to top the week off at 8pm on last full night I received a phone call from reception saying I had to leave my room tomorrow and pack as it was booked!!!!! I paid for late check out till 6pm to avoid exactly this!!!! So this morning I have been moved and packed everything only to unpack later this afternoon again!!! Before the long journey home.. Now sat on beach and thought to myself, it doesn’t matter, let it go, let’s order a cofffee… Only to discover they have kicked me out the app for ordering even though check out isn’t till 6pm!!!!!!!! NOT HAPPY AT ALL…. Thanks ASTIR ODYSSEUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS A BUNCH…….

First point to note is if you book a holiday in Kos in late Aug and Sep, then expect strong winds from the north (we didn't know this). This hotel is on the north coast. We were in Kos for 10 days and half the days had cool north wind, so red flags were out and sun bathing was not comfortable. We had room 812, which was a nice enough room, but there was no sofa bed, despite this being in the room description. We got an email from the hotel on the morning we arrived telling us this. We booked this room so we could use the lounge as an extra bedroom with the sofa bed set out. In the end we got a small portable bed in the room, not great. Rooms 811 and 812 are advertised as seafront with sea views and private pool. There is a white screen between the rooms pool and the sea front. When you are out by the rooms pool, you have no sea view unless you get up and walk to the screen in front of the room or go upstairs (see pictures attached). The room faces north and the sun deck is mostly in the shade all day, so you have to move the beds onto a thin ***** of grass on the other side of the pool, where there are no umbrellas. Back and forth moving beds along a narrow ***** at the edge of the pool is not ideal. If the hotel management extended the garden by 2m and added a sun deck with umbrellas in the sunny area and took the white screen away, this would be a great room. The staff are great, very friendly and very helpful. Lia in the beach bar was exceptional. Food was very good in the buffet, but the all inclusive only includes one evening meal in the taverna per week. Lunch in the taverna was good. We were there for 10 days, so could only go to the taverna once for free in the evening. We did eat twice in the Ithaka restaurant and the food was excellent, but this is an extra charge. All in all, a good hotel, excellent staff, good food, but for us it was spoiled by the high room cost which failed to deliver.

Beautiful place but disappointed on day one to learn that there is an additional charge for many drinks. The Al a carte restaurant is only available if you stay for 7 nights. We are a group of 6 here for a special birthday holiday and we are unable to go. No flexibility from the hotel #🥲

After much research of hotels on Kos we chose Astir based on reviews and it’s sea view room category. Having booked months in advance we requested an upper floor sea view room. Upon arrival we were given a lower floor room. Sadly the room is misleading being categorized sea view as shown in the photo I will post. Our view was chaises, umbrellas and the pool with “glimpses” of the sea!! A very unfortunate and disappointing room given our first time to Kos and all the pre-planning and early booking. The room itself was very nice - no complaints, bed was comfortable, A/C worked well. Wi Fi needs upgrading as it was a poor signal and times none at all. Quality of towels needs improving - some were old, worn and thin! We booked half board but only had 1 of 7 dinners at the resort. The resort is very family oriented and lots of unruly children as an FYI. Breakfast was o.k. Parking is easy and convenient. If we return to Kos we would book elsewhere.

I have travelled extensively over the years always staying at 5 star hotels. I can honestly say hand on heart Astir Odysseus is by far the best in so many ways. The very professional courteous staff from the lowest to the top ranking have ALWAYS been so accommodating and nothing is ever a problem for them. From the moment we arrive until we reluctantly have to leave we have always been treated like VIPs and made to feel very very welcomed loved special appreciated and like family even after 6 visits. I would never stay anywhere else in Kos. I could name so many of the staff but this would be a very long review. Trust me Astir is a very special place for me and my family. Thank you again for everything you do for us, see you all next year. I ❤ you all. Bambos & Louise 🙏

Just came back from a two days bussiness trip! I have to admit that it is my first visitin Kos i i wish i could stay longer! The room was nicely decorayed and cleaned daily. The food was really good and many options to choose from! The a la carte was just marvelous! Especially the apple pie! The staff was really well trained and helpful! My next visit will be for holidays and not bussiness!
