  Faded......

  The Diamond Apartments can be found down a pot-holed road about fifteen minutes from the centre of Kos town. As you stroll along, you can admire the litter and discarded rubbish that is strewn liberally around in the fields and by the edge of the pitted tarmac. The place has that air of having seen much better times. The room we had boasted chipped and scuffed tiles in the bathroom, a shower curtain that didn't reach the base of the shower, a fridge that didn't work properly, and which had no retaining bars on the door, so that bottles and cartons couldn't be stored (ice melted in the ice-box compartment), a woefully inadequate set of utensils for any self-catering, a few plates, two mugs and a cup without a saucer. We used that for the olives. The free-standing dressing mirror is just about to lose a leg, and the extra settee-bed in the living room was tired and worn. The dressing table stool was parting company with itself.The bed was comfortable, and the linen on it spotless and fresh - but the towels (changed almost daily) were all torn. Had I offered anything like that to a visitor to my own home, they would have thought that I was offering an insult. The control for the air conditioning never turned up. The pool furniture is (mostly) stained and rather grubby. If all this seems very harsh, I have taken several pictures, which will be sent to the CEO of Tui, the travel company, requiring an explanation for this down-market "resort". Actually, it is very much a last resort. The cleaning staff were all polite and friendly, which is more than can be said for one of the front of house lads, whose blunt rudeness makes Basil Fawlty look positively joyful. Luckily, we were able to get out every day, and to enjoy ourselves.....please do NOT book any trips or excursion through your travel representative, you will find them in the town, and everything will be half or at worst two thirds of the price. Make absolutely certain that your chosen restaurant accepts card payments if that is your preferred choice - some refuse to do so. As for the Diamond Apartments, they are so ordinary and shabby that it would make a glass eye weep. Once, probably something rather special....but not today.

  not great

  We have just returned from these apartments, Thompsons suggested, they were reasonably clean and very basic, 2 young men running the place were always grumpy, not willing to help out with any problems and just playing om their mobiles, food was always cold and very basic, we were greeted more by the various feral cats! Shame as in quite nice area near town and beach but could do so much better with friendlier staff. Only have WiFi near the pool, never anyone sat round the pool or bar area though.

  Very cheap but basic

  My partner and I (in our 20's) stayed here for 10 days at the beginning of October. The two guys running it were friendly enough. The apartment was plenty big enough for the two of us, with a comfortable bed and plenty of storage. The bathroom was a little dated but functional, although the door required slamming to fully close it. The rooms were cleaned and tidied every day which was great. The pool area was okay, but the sunbeds are ancient and in need of replacing. We visited Kos Town with the aim of spending a lot of time out and about, so we never actually had a drink or food at the pool bar. Cooking facilities in the room weren't suitable for a fully-self catered apartment, but okay for breakfast and lunch. It was nice to be a little bit out of the town centre, and it was very quiet here at night, but be prepared for a 15 minute walk to the beachfront. Overall, pretty average but you get what you pay for.

  New layout. Same results

  From reviews of the older layout before its re development I was hoping for a change. Nice but basic modern rooms.. no shower head in the bathroom so you have to hold the shower up yourself. Minus a few exceptions of staff the majority were far from welcoming. 2 cases where staff come in are room! One being 9.15 at night to drop a letter! And one to get a pair of scales out of our room as we had too but walked in unannounced and couldnt communicate English with us so just came in to rummage through our wardrobes! Later to accuse us of breaking the scales (if they werent broken, why was there 2 scales in there originally) advertised as a new hotel opening but from what I can see its just been refurbished. Wouldnt be coming back and Id recommend the Michelangelo down the road. Great stay

  Lovely little place

  We arrived late in the evening and were warmly welcomed by the staff. Next morning we had a lovely breakfast again all the staff were so friendly. Good selection of things for breakfast as well as the cook making omelettes, eggs and pancakes to order. Worried about the sun beds as there didnt seem enough but there was always spare and no need to rush down and save them. Also very comfortable. Bar staff were brilliant and looked after us. Lunch snacks were typical but all you need in the day. Walked into town for evening meals so I cant comment on the evennng meals but the selection looked good. The apartments are small but we spend so little time in it. It was cleaned daily. The walk into town is a bit shabby but you cant blame the hotel for that!
