  No apto para viajeros exigentes

  Me alojé junto a mi pareja y nuestra niña de tres años en julio de 2015. Elegimos este lugar por la ubicación y la piscina infantil que se ofrecía. Reservamos a través de booking, pagando el importe completo, pues de esta forma se nos ofertaba un buen precio. Al llegar al lugar, después de preguntar a varios autóctonos (no muy bien indicado), comprobamos que no había recepción ni nadie a quien se pudiera acceder para hacer el check-in. Después de un buen rato preguntando a diferentes huéspedes que se encontraban en la piscina, nos atendió un chico que manifestó que no tenían conocimiento de nuestra reserva. Después de mostrarles el voucher y el comprobante de pago, nos tuvieron esperando más de una hora (a unos 40 grados) a que nos alojaran en un apartamento. Nos ubicaron en la planta baja de un edificio muy viejo y con una falta de mantenimiento evidente. Cabe decir que el tamaño de la sala de estar es grande, pero el mobiliario es similar al de un monasterio, austero, viejo y poco útil. La cocina que dispone es la típica eléctrica, pero que para cocinar en ella deberías esperar un milagro: los fusibles saltaban cada poco tiempo. Además, no había menaje suficiente para hacer una comida de supervivencia: no hay tostadora, cafetera, escurridor, o enseres básicos que un apartamento debería disponer. Se notaba que anteriores huéspedes habían traído vasos y tenedores, pues todos eran diferentes. Por otro lado, el baño necesitaba a gritos una reforma: la ducha no tenía mampara ni cortina, por lo que el baño quedaba totalmente anegado ante una mínima ducha ;no hay útiles de limpieza para limpiarlo así que el agua va secándose poco a poco, con el riesgo de resbalar contínuamente y abrirte la cabeza con todos los desconchones de baldosa que hay. En el sumidero que hay en el suelo, SIEMPRE habían varias hormigas de pequeño tamaño, que por suerte no salían del baño. Mi hija se hizo amiga de ellas, pues nos acompañaron todas las vacaciones. La iluminación del apartamento era pésima, de hecho, compramos dos bombillas nuevas porque de otro modo el lugar se hacía lúgubre. La zona de la piscina es donde quizá gana un poco el lugar. Poca gente y tranquilo, con mucha disponibilidad de hamacas y sombra. De todas formas, la piscina infantil no tenía escaleras, y era de hormigón vivo, así que había que estar pendiente que la niña no se hiciera daño. Además, la bomba limpiadora no funcionaba, y permanentemente estaba sucia, llena de hojarasca e insectos. El hombre que se encargaba del mantenimiento solía estar en las sillas del bar a la sombra, viendo como limpiabas por tus medios la piscina con una red que encontramos. Junto a la piscina hay un edificio a medio construir, pero en estado de abandonamiento, que da un aspecto de dejadez al lugar. Intentamos transmitir todas nuestras inquietudes al personal, pero apenas nadie hablaba inglés y medio con gestos entendimos que no había opción de cambio de habitación ni mejora de las quejas. Nosotros personalmente nos hubiéramos cambiado de alojamiento si no hubiéramos pagado el total de la reserva sin posibilidad de perder lo invertido. Somos viajeros medios, no esperamos grandes lujos, pero sí un hospedaje decente, y en este caso, creemos que no estaba a la altura. Hemos viajado por muchas islas de Grecia, y Samos para nosotros fue la peor en cuanto al trato y la dejadez del lugar. Desde luego no volveremos.

  Fantastic hotel/apartments!

  We stayed for a week at the end of August and had an absolutely lovely time. Rebecca and Dimitri couldnt be more friendly or welcoming, and so so helpful with advice on car rentals and things to do around the island etc. The location of the hotel is perfect, feels really peaceful and secluded but only a 10 minute walk to the beautiful little town and nearest beach. The town is quite small and quiet but was our favourite place we visited in Samos as it feels really authentic and not touristy at all. So many amazing little restaurants right on the waterfront! Also our favourite beach was Pappa beach, about a 20 minute walk from the hotel, really beautiful little bay with a lovely taverna offering great service. We hired a car for 2 days and visited Potami waterfalls which was fantastic, and Livadaki beach - both great recommendations from the hotel. Also as a side note - this was our first holiday together and as we are a gay couple occasionally you can feel a bit nervous about travelling - but the hotel staff were so lovely and made us feel really welcome, and around Samos in general there were no problems at all with this. Thank you Rebecca and Dimitri! We will definitely be back! Taja and Ruby x

  A really relaxing stay at Zeus

  Becca and Dimitri and Dimitri's mother Katerina, made us very welcome at Zeus, and were so helpful about local stuff, driving, and getting us a car hire deal. The pool is great. The loungers are on the grass around it. Tall trees in the background provide extra shade - full-on sun-worshippers might not like that, but we did. It's very picturesque. The apartment buildings are nicely presented, so the environment is pleasing and relaxing. The gardens are brilliantly set out and tended, with lots of exotic flowers and shrubs. The bar was a good place to catch up with other guests and to catch Becca and Katerina. We had breakfast there once, and it was great. The apartment was cleaned regularly, with everything working, and hot water always on. We were on the ground-floor with a terrace - not enclosed, but this didn't matter. It got plenty of sun, fine for drying clothes outside. There is a two-ring electric hob, so it's not for cooking massive meals, maybe, just quick things that are not much trouble to make. It was fine for us. Zeus is a 10-minute walk from Ireon, down a road flanked by olive groves and dramatic trees. It wasn't a busy road, with local drivers wary of pedestrians. The nearest beach is about 15 minutes walk, and Pappa Beach was 20-25 minutes. Just for a walk, there are several paths, one a longish one that leads eventually to Pappa Beach, and the other around some of the local farms and orchards. We really loved our stay at Zeus, and hope we'll go again.

  Great place to stay

  Zeus is an unusual place because I can't think of anything that is not excellent. Our room was large, clean, with aircon, and linen was changed every 2 or 3 days. This is a family-run hotel and all the staff are so helpful and friendly, particularly Katerina (her son Dimitri and his wife Rebecca were away for most of our stay). When we got to Samos airport on our way home, I realised I had left my jacket (house and car keys in the pocket!) in the hotel bar. I phoned and spoke to Katerina who jumped in her car and drove to the airport with the jacket. Amazing service. There is a very nice, clean pool and the sunbathing area is comfortable and relaxed. They will arrange car hire for you and give advice on anything related to the island. This was our first visit to Samos and having driven around we think Ireon is the best place to stay. As long as you want to chill out! The town is 10 minutes walk away where there are a couple of bars, 6 or 7 restaurants and the best coffee on Samos. The people are all friendly and the atmosphere is so relaxed. I am not sure this would be the best place to holiday with young children as there appears to be nothing for them to do. Get the bus into Pythagorio and/or Samos town for a day out. We want to return to Samos and when we do Zeus will be where we will stay.

  Wonderful!

  Can't think of anything bad to say about Zeus Hotel. We spent two weeks here in October 2019 for our honeymoon and had a fantastic stay. The owners are nothing but friendly and very accommodating and the food at the bar is great! The room was large and cleaned regularly, the wifi signal worked well and the water pressure in the shower was good. The hotel has wonderful views and is a short, easy walk to Ireon and the beach. Great location near Heraion (temple ruins) and the airport. Thank you so much Rebecca and Dimitri!
