Gardenia

I felt safe staying at So Nice Hotel, and the staff seemed ready to help if I ran into any confusion. I was travelling alone and had been nervous about choosing a place in Samos, but this one went beyond what I expected. Before arriving, I had questions and needed to adjust my booking; they got back to me quickly and helpfully. They arranged a taxi to meet me at the airport, even after a last-minute layover. The small hotel is run by just a few welcoming, kind people. My room was clean and tidy, had air conditioning, and included a little kitchen where I could make simple meals with ingredients from the market a few minutes' walk away. Down the road there are plenty of shops and restaurants, plus beach access and places to sit, some free and some available for a small fee. Tortuga, right on the beach, was my favorite spot, while Green Zone, across from the beach, was my favorite overall. If I come back to Samos, I'd choose this place first.

The family running this hotel was a plus, and the rooms were spacious and very clean. Having a parking lot behind the building was really convenient. Breakfast didn't offer many choices, but everything served was delicious. The internet connection needs work: the Wi-Fi was very poor, and cellular reception was bad too. Apart from that, everything was perfect.

The homemade breakfast was delicious, and the hotel is conveniently placed for reaching the island's best beaches in the south. What really stood out was how friendly everyone was and how much they did to make us comfortable. They arranged a rental car for us at a very good price when I asked about companies, picked us up from the port and drove us back at no charge, and agreed to a late checkout without hesitation. I strongly recommend this hotel.

The rooms were clean and good. Breakfast was the one issue for me; it could be better.
