Alice Springs is not so far away as you think! At least not this Alice Springs. My husband and I have just recently returned from a wonderful holiday at this hotel in Kos. It was fun all the time, all down to George, Barbara and Elias, plus the excellent Weather we had whilst we were there during the first week of October.

The hotel is spotlessly clean, with fresh linen every day. We stayed on a room only basis which was fine for us as we liked to get out and about. Kos Town is super for shopping. We hired bikes and cycled to Tingaki, which was great. We also went on a 3 island boat trip and took the little train up to Askeplion. The week passed in a flash.

It was always great to return to the hotel after a day out as George and Barbara or Elias loved to hear what you had been doing.

They are such lovely people and we were sad to leave. We loved Kos and loved the Alice Springs Hotel.

Just a note to say also this hotel you can flush paper down the loo, not all hotels you can do this.

Do go to George & Barbara’s barbeque and Klefito evenings they are such fun. Also George showed us how to make Tzasaki!! – it was great George!. We hope to meet up with you again sometime. We will never forget you all and the wonderful welcome you gave to us. We are part of an ever expanding family of very satisfied Guests. Good on you George Barbara and Elias. All the best.

We stayed at the Alice Springs from the 25th Sep for a week and had a really good time. George, Barbara and Elias are so friendly and just want you to have a good time. They are really helpful and such good fun - in fact every one in the hotel is so nice it makes for a really relaxed atmosphere. We usually view the room as just a bed to sleep in, but it was nice here to sit and chat around the pool when not on the beach too. The beach is 100m away where sunbeds are paid for unless you walk 5 mins towards town to the beach cafes where they are free. Kos town centre is a 15 -20 minute walk (take the beach road - it's faster). The BBQ night is great fun, George got out of his sick bed to make sure and people come from other hotels because of its reputation as a good evening. Good restaurants were Elia and Jumbo's in the old town.
If you go here you wont be let down. Enjoy it.

Have just returned from two weeks holiday at Alice Springs Hotel. We had an excellent holiday George, Barbara & Elias were brilliant hosts made you feel very at home. Unfortunately George was unwell for a short time but he stiil kept his sense of humour & made the effort to organise the BBQ & Kleftiko Nights which are an absolute must ( lots of people from other hotels came for the evening)!!
We were on a room only basis & rooms were spotlessly cleaned every day & linen & towels changed every day. You cant fail to enjoy your stay here. Kos town is near at hand & very lively. Lots of places to eat. Cant fault anything- you must go!!!

I have just got back from The Alice Springs Hotel and it was the best hotel I have ever stayed in for its friendly atmosphere. George and Barbra were there to greet us on arrival and are such a lovley couple. They couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome.
The hotel was spotless, and so were the rooms, they were cleaned every day with fresh towels daily too.
The pool area was also kept very clean and nice comfey sunbeds to use for free around it. Just watch out for George if he has his orange bucket with him when you are sunbathing! Only kidding George. I have never has so much fun at a hotel in all my life.
The BBQ night is a definate must do night, the cheekbones in my face were hurting with laughter. George and Barbra put a lot of hard work and effort in to making this night brilliant and the food is delicious.
We made lots of really nice friends on the holiday thanks to George who makes sure you get gabbing to the other holiday makers in a way that you wouldn't even notice. Hi to Stef and Trevor (thanks for your pants trev), Nat and Debbie, Andy and Nic, you are all wonderful people and I'm sure we will all bump in to each other in the Alice Springs Hotel over the next few years.
I will be returning to this hotel for sure in the future.

Just come back from a week staying at Alice Springs Hotel in Kos. I can’t recommend this hotel enough it was FANTASTIC.
Where do I start – the welcome when we got there was wonderful George the owner stays up to welcome each of his guests personally no matter what time of the night they arrive (even though he is always up and around the hotel at 6am every day !). He makes sure he learns everyone’s name and introduces you to other the guests so that you feel at home the moment you arrive. He was telling us jokes within about 10 minutes of our arrival (loved the one about the retiring postman George).
Barbara, George’s wife, is lovely, she too makes everyone feel very welcome and the food she serves at the snack bar is really good, nothing is too much trouble.
Elias their son works behind the pool side bar and is also very, very helpful (and funny).
The bbq and Kleftikol nights are not to be missed and help to bring everyone together even more with fun and games and dancing for all.
The hotel is very near to Lambi beach (which is a bit crowded with sun beds, but who needs the beach when you have the gorgeous pool at Alice Springs) and within walking distance of beautiful Kos town.
The rooms are spotlessly clean with clean towels everyday, the sun beds by the pool had mattresses on, not something you get everywhere. I asked if I could have a fridge in my room and one was put there straight away.
When it’s time to go home George is around to say goodbye to everyone what ever time they leave (do you ever sleep George?).
We will definitely be going back next year (if you’ll have us George & Barbara).

We recently got back from Alice Springs and had a fantastic time thanks to George Barbara and Elias, they are a family you have to meet, as they are so friendly and take time to get to know their guests – George proudly knows the name of every guest staying in his hotel, which is fantastic as it just goes to show they will go out of their way to do anything to help you as they really value their guests.

If you’re planning to stay in Kos stay at Alice Springs, it’s well known throughout the island. Many guests from other hotels even came to join in the fun.

You must go to George’s BBQ, it’s a great night and enjoyed by everyone. You are guaranteed a few laughs!!

Bar (open till late), pool and other facilities are great including the fact that you can choose what to watch on the TV at the bar – just ask George for the remote. Anything you need, they will sort for you from car hire to recommending the best places to eat and where not to eat.

These reviews decided our holiday for us as they are so positive but believe us the experience is even better, indescribable, but definitely a holiday not to be missed.

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at the Alice Springs Hotel, thanks to George, Barbara and Elias.

Location, facilities and atmosphere were spot on, wouldnt have changed anything.

We stayed in room only but had everything you needed, you can hire fridges and air con and they are cleaned everyday with fresh towels provided.

Great pool bar, stays open late - very late Elias!!!!

Fun BBQ on a Monday night, and the Lamb night is a must.

George and Barbara are around all day ensuring your holiday is enjoyable and will sort out anything you need i.e car hire etc.

Thanks for a geat Holiday

In July 2006 my partner and I had a wonderful holiday in the Alice Springs hotel, Kos. We are both doctors and found our time in Alice Springs to be a welcome break from work. Whilst we were there we met a family of psychologists from South Africa who were attending an international conference in their speciality field. The Alice Springs hotel is ideally located for both the relaxing holiday and for travel to … where the conference was held.

George and Barbara, the couple who own the hotel, are amazing hosts. They make everyone feel welcome and are always offering help and advice in order to make your holiday the best it can be. The bbq and kleftiko nights are particularly special and should not be missed.

A holiday at the Alice Springs hotel has everything you could wish for; a beautiful swimming pool, a lovely beach within 5 mins, Kos town just a short walk away, the hotel is immaculately presented and the hosts are incredible.

while in kos my family had a fantastic time at the alice springs hotel where the owner george and his wife barbara and staff were really freindly and helpful. We would definately consider going back. Thanks for the memories!
