    We were a bit indecisive about what part of Symi town to stay in, but finally focused around the clock tower as it had a swimming area off the promenade. Choosing the Dorian Hotel did not disappoint, what a gorgeous place! We had a spacious room with balcony & lovely views of Symi, but there were other terraces around that we also made use of. Appreciated the traditional beautiful hand painted features on the walls and furniture, the well stocked kitchen, super comfortable bed and excellent wifi. Nikos was such a nice guy, helpful taking our luggage up the stairs to the Hotel. We adored Symi and would love to return one day and stay at the Dorian again!

    Step flight of steps to the property, but this is highlighted by the owner. Our accommodation had steps to the bedroom which may not suit everyone.

    Location is fantastic, a short distance from the port and arguably the more scenic side of the bay. The town is easily walkable and there is a lovely quiet beach nearby.

    Great location just minutes from the Clock Tower where our ferry docked. Spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped with tea, coffee, milk and sugar even being provided. Nikos is a warm and welcoming host who kindly brought us some treats from the bakery. We loved sitting outside watching the world go by down on the harbour

    Location close to the clocktower, but quieter side. Up some steps, but not too many! Enjoyed sitting at table and chairs by the steps in the evening. The apartment consisted of a small kitchen area at the entrance, bedroom and shower room, nicely decorated. Nikos met us and was very helpful and kind.

    There are a number of steps up to the property which could be difficult for some. But the quality location and value for money made this good for us.

    Good size accommodation. Great linen and towels. Very clean. Modern bathroom. Good kitchen area with tea making facilities. Tea coffee etc plus water supplied by the hosts.

    Quite a lot of steep steps to get there, not a problem for us but maybe elderly/ disabled people should be aware. Would 100% book the room with balcony, had it for one night and it really made a big impact to open the doors in the morning and enjoy breakfast with the view.

    Great central location, beautiful view and the most helpful staff.

    The shower/toilet was small. Personally I didn't mind to much the steps leading up (74 steps).But people with mobility issues might struggle.

    The view from the terrace was great. We booked the maisonette. Dorian is in a quite area away from the main area but only a 5-10 min walk

    Stairs to the bedroom loft were a bit narrow, just need to be careful.

    Loved the view from the balcony. Kitchen was well equipped for a short stay. Towels changed out daily. The host provided good information at check in. I

    It was a traditional Greek bed which means it was raised so you had to use a step to access While it was v comfortable if you had mobility issues it could be a problem We mentioned it to Nicos who said he was changing them for next year

    Nicos the chap running the place was wonderful,v helpful, v sociable Helped us with transportation to and from port.Left a bag on minibus and he immediately contacted the driver to return with my bag He remembered our names,recommended places to visit and restaurants to go I never felt he had any agenda ,just v nice guy

    More stairs than we realised. Internal stairs very steep, better for younger and fitter people than us.

    Good views, good location, comfortable bed. Host organised transport from ferry to Dorian and back, very much appreciated.
