Christa Apartments

Very helpful with our queries, help store our luggage, and helpful at check in

Superb Apartment which was larger than expected. Very clean and modern. The staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. The property manager should have mentioned the facilities in the basement. A male and female toilet area both with modern showers and towels. Great for day of departure when you have left your room,

From the moment we arrived at Christa Appartments we had a warm friendly welcome from Dora. She was superb throughout our stay giving great advice on places to visit, good places to eat and helping me brush up on my Greek. The rooms are immaculate with maid service every day and towels changed every two days. The kitchen was stocked with everything we need to self cater, but with so many good tavernas within walking distance we opted to eat out most of the time. The pool area is small with a few sunbeds and deck chairs but we rarely found it full and mainly used it late afternoon after spending the day on the beach. A big plus for the apartment was the in site changing facility with showers. Perfect if you have a late flight and want to make the most of your last day. Plenty to see and do in Kos Town. We booked a coach trip up to Zia which cost 12 Euro each and well worth it for a view of the ssunset. Also recommended Canadenes taverna which is just up the road. Great authentic greek food at a reasonable price. A taxi ride at around 20 Euro to Tingaki is a must, beautiful sandy beach with warm calm seas. We have loved our visit to Kos and our stay at Christas Appartments. Would definitely consider a revisit.

The hotel is 15 min walk distance to Kos old town and 25 min walk to the ferry. Clean and well-designed rooms have kitchens and are located in quite areas. Breakfast wasn't included, and reception was friendly.

In October 2023 I booked the Christa Apartment’s for a 7-day break. In my party there were two adults.   ROOM We were assigned room 22 which was located on the first floor (there is a lift provided). The apartment had a small kitchen, bathroom with shower, two separate bedrooms each with two single beds in (these are pushed together if you don’t require single beds).  There is also a balcony that can be accessed from both bedrooms. I have uploaded a room tour of our room which you can find on my YouTube chanel, the link is in my TripAdvisor profile or by searching howeij on YouTube. The rooms are spotless & the cleaning team do a fantastic job. The room also has fantastic Air Conditioning system. If you require a safe only one of the bedrooms has one.   FOOD As far as I am aware the apartment doesn’t provide or offer food which is understandable with it being self-catering apartments. However the appartment is in a perfect location for some fantastic restaurants that are within walking distance (I have listed some of these restaurants below). HOTEL & LOCATION The hotel is kept really clean with lots of outside / under shelter seating. The location of the hotel is fantastic for people who want to be near the beach / Kos Town. You can be at the sea in 6 minutes from the hotel front door. There is a variety of restaurants near the hotel (I have mentioned the best restaurants we found the best below). If you hire a car there is quite a bit of free kerbside parking around the hotel. A massive positive for the hotel is the shower facilities they have on ground floor which you can use to freshen yourself up on the days you arrive or leave if you have not checked in or checked out. They also have lockers that you can pay 2 euros to hire to store your luggage which allows you too make the most of your arrival or departure days ( I have uploaded a video of these shower facilities which you can find on my YouTube channel, the link is in my TripAdvisor profile or by searching howeij on YouTube).    POOL The pool at the hotel is spotlessly clean & tidy. When I visited the apartments, I only used the pool once as we were out most days till late. The pool is open 10am – 7pm.  I did feel there was probably a need for some extra sun beds during the busier months as there wasn’t many (The pool can also be seen in some of video tours I did of my stay on my YouTube channel, the link for this is in my TripAdvisor profile or by searching howeij on YouTube).   STAFF The staff at the hotel were fantastic & helpful. A massive shout out to Aimilia & Emiliano who were always so welcoming, they are a credit to the apartments.   OVERALL Overall, we had a great stay at the Christa Apartment’s. If I was to return to Kos & this apartment was available Id happily book the apartments again. Overall id give the apartment a 10/10.   TIPS / RECOMENDATIONS ** BIGGEST TIP - I highly recommend hiring a car for your entire stay because the island has so much too see. I also highly recommend using Kos Town as your place to base yourself from as there its lots of places to eat, drink & shop.
