Not a big issue but consider bringing earplugs if you plan to sleep until late and are sensitive to noise (during the evening, night and early morning it is very quiet though)

The room was nice and clean, the balcony was lovely. The administrator, Nikolas, was very kind offering transportation to the port where big ferries depart/arrive (not really close to the center of Symi). The hotel is very well located, close to everything specially the port where all the taxi boats departs to go to the beaches. Consider that Symi is build on a quite steep hill, having the hotel at the same level of the port, markets, bar and tabernas is a real advantage.

The room is at the central of the port which is very close to everything. The host was very friendly and really helpful. He even informed us regarding the local festivals. Also, the room was very clean.

This is not a 5star hotell, but the staff, the location and everything else is very very good at this most beautiful little city in greece ❤️

Nikolas was a wonderful host. We were met at the port and given a complimentary transfer to the hotel. The breakfasts were a feast for a small cost. A fruit platter, eggs, juice, coffee, yoghurt, bread, jam, savoury pie and biscuits. The location is so close to the waterfront. We really enjoyed our conversations with Nikolas about life in Symi. Thank you so much.

Nothing to dislike here.

Quirky traditional building in a great location. Considering where it is it was very quiet. Nikolas was amazingly helpful when we left a mobile phone on the beach at Marathunda and a wonderful host all round who couldn't do enough for us. Would heartily recommend staying here.

Lovely little 3 bedroomed hotel right near the port and taxi boats. Room was cleaned daily to an exceptional standard Breakfast was fresh and plentiful. All in all excelled value for money. Nikolas the owner was so friendly and welcoming and ensured that our stay was comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this little hotel if we visit Symi again

There's no shade on the balcony, so it isn't appropriate for mid-day, should that be your wish. Most people will be out, so not an issue.

Immaculate housekeeping, professional yet warm hospitality, comfortable bed and bedding, good silent a.c., free laundry service! I can recommend the Albatros without reservation. Nicolas is a charming, sophisticated, and attentive host who looks after his guests personally. Breakfast is simple but satisfying and graciously served. The hotel is conveniently located but somehow quiet inside. I slept well and had a peaceful week's stay.

Moving on.

IF this is your 1st visit to the island, Nikolas the host, greets you with a very informative table top tour of the highlights of Symi with the aid of a map. The hotel now in the hands of the founders son, is in traditional style with much use of wood in construction and many family artifacts about the place The breakfast was hearty, in the Greek style. Egg, mini spinach pies,toast & jams. Lots of fruit. Fruit juice. Tea & coffee. Yoghurt. Nikolas is fluent in Greek English, French, and capable in Italian. Located in a quiet side street 30m from the front.

Small hotel with perfect location in the center of Symi town and near the port. The hotel is runned by the superhost Nicolas and his lovely wife. The room was cozy and clean with comfortable beds and a small balcony. Delicious breakfast! Nicolas is very friendly and social. He told us a lot, about the history of Symi and about the people on the island. He gave us valuable information and tips about restaurants etc. and helped us with our heavy luggage. If Albatros is available when you visit Symi, don't hesitate, book!

We’re loath to criticise anything, but one tiny thing was the temperature and pressure of the shower could be better. We really weren’t bothered about this, though.

Albatros is a great place to stay in Symi. It’s just a few (flat) steps from the harbour front, so you’re near to everything. Rooms are fine and the air conditioning is effective. Breakfast is simple but substantial (that’ll save you some money) and included breads, good fruit, yoghurt, eggs, cheese or spinach pie and more. The host, Nicolas, was friendly, sociable and super well-informed about stuff. He’s also multi-lingual. And helpful. Like collection to and from the port.

Beautiful small hotel. Spotless clean, comfy bed, fabulous breakfast. Great value for money. Only 1 min walk from the port ,where all the day trips & taxi boats are. Perfect location for all shops, tavernas & local buses. Nicolas is a wonderful host, full of information & advice on where to go & what to do. He's so friendly and chats with everyone. You feel like you've known him all your life. He will meet you at the port & bring you back. We will definitely return again. If you want a relaxing stay in a typical Greek hotel, don't hesitate to book Albatros.

The room was spotless and cosy. Comfortable bed and very quiet. Had a cute balcony overlooking the narrow street. Nikos was the most friendly, helpful and hospitable person you could ever meet. He met us off the ferry and showed us where to explore in the little time we had on the island. Breakfast was lovely, fruit, yoghurt , bread and other goods from the bakery, bought fresh that morning. We would love to come back and spend more time on this special island with these wonderful people.
