I was very excited for this stay, however I was quite disappointed with the total lack of wifi in the room (there was one bar of service if standing out on the balcony). Staff said they couldn't help at all and wifi is available in public areas which isn't ideal when you just want to lay back and chill for a couple of hours in private, not being chewed up by moskitos.
The general cleanliness isn't the best (esp. bathroom). Bathroom hasn’t got a shower curtain so spray goes everywhere.
The room does smell nice though.

A fantastic family run hotel. A good, relaxing atmosphere where you can get snacks and drinks till late. New apartments have recently been added, but the family make the holiday special

Food
The food in the hotel bar was fab. Portions are big and the prices are fair. The breakfast that’s included is basic and continental - toast/rolls, ham, cheese, butter, jam, cereal, milk, yogurt. There was fruit at the start but for the last few days there was none. We got bored of the included breakfast as it was the same thing every day so we ate in the bar instead.
Location
The hotel is located beside a supermarket that has everything you need. Only a few steps to the nearest pebbly beach and a few minutes from bars and restaurants. There is a bus to kos town that runs twice in the hour but we used the electric scooters instead.
Staff
The reception staff, the breakfast ladies, bar staff and the cleaners work very hard. They’re all friendly and very welcoming. Our room was not swept at all throughout our 2 week stay which was a bit of a bummer. But overall the beds were made daily and if we needed new towels you leave them on the floor. We had an issue with our tap and we notified the reception and it was fixed while we were out. The family is very friendly and genuinely work hard to make you feel welcomed and well fed.
Grounds
The pool area is a big big let down. The pool is ridiculously deep - the shallow part is 1.20m and the deepest is 3.20m which I would note if you are planning to travel with children who may not be able to swim. There is no lifeguard. There is no kids pool. There is also sunbed warriors that put towels on sunbeds even at 7am even though it is stated by the pool that no towels on sunbeds before 8am.

Just stayed at hotel iris for 2 week with my partner. We have no complaints. It was a very affordable holiday, we spent no more than £500 which included flights, baggage, transfer, and of course the hotel along with bed and breakfast! The lady’s who run the breakfast are really lovely ( as was everyone working at hotel iris ). The room was perfectly fine. I thought the retro headboard was quite cool contrary to what others seemed to say. The shower took a minute to figure out, it needed to be on so that the pressure could keep it upright but once it was on, it was great, really good pressure. We got air con when we arrived, we asked about this which I feel is fine? Someone else complained in their review that they weren’t offered it, but we asked about it and it was sorted out no problems. It was €8 a night which we were happy to pay after having to pay much more than that when in Rhodes last year. Admittedly, we were quite lazy this holiday, so spent quite a lot of our days around the pool. The pool is great! And the staff that works around the bar are lovely. There’s a really nice young couple that we saw the most, who were really friendly and approachable. The girl ( Selly I think her name is - sorry if this is incorrect ) makes the best smoothies 😁. We wanted to say a proper goodbye but unfortunately didn’t quite get the chance. The hotel had everything we needed. I really liked their efforts to be more environmentally friendly. They had signs about trying to reduce water usage, as well as a method adopted to change your bed sheets and towels. I saw a review complaining that their sheets and towels weren’t changed. Your sheets and towels can be changed as regularly as you wish them to be. There is a laminated card in your room ( which this reviewer obviously did not read ) which instructed customers to leave the card on the bed if they wanted their sheets changing, and to leave their towels on the floor if they wanted these changing. Overall, we had a great stay and would come again:) thank you to everyone at hotel iris! 😁

They gave me a very nasty dirty room on top floor then I payed for ground floor pool view. Room consists of 2 wooden rickety hard beds pulled together and a fridge and dressing table. Mold in bathroom, sink almost falling of the wall. Bedroom area had cracked loose tiles in which I ripped my toe nail off, tread bear towels, no bin and no washing line on balcony to dry your swimwear. Very dark repressive room even with every light on the atmosphere was dark. Had to avoid breakfast and poolside as staff were very unfriendly towards me since making complaints about my room and they would not move me to another room even though I have mobility issues and they placed me on the top floor. All in all my 2 weeks there I cryed every day, no kettle in room even though I oayed for self catering and no hair dryer although you can borrow one from reception. Absolute waste of my 2 weeks holiday and a total waste of money, if I was allocated the room I payed for I'm sure everything would have been ok.
