    Efficiency, simple but very functional. Staff was great. They arranged a complimentary room that was vacant to let our children have more space. Location and services at walking distance, out of the noise of central Skala. They also provided transportation to and from the port

    Breakfast was very basic but since it was included in the price, it’s ok.

    Located close to the center of Skala, very clean and quiet. Excellent view over the Chora, parking available. Clean room and clean hotel.

    The beds were a bit too hard and the bathroom was small and it would get all wet during shower. Breakfast was ok for a few days, but a bit too simple, it could have a toaster, some fresh fruits and more tea flavours.

    We really liked our stay, the person received us very warm and was very helpful. It felt like staying at relatives home ;) the location is calm and close to port and restaurants. The room was cleaned every day. I liked that the room has 2 balconies and the view was amazing, and I loved the bougainvilleas.

    It did have the classic issue of the inffectual shower-curtain which floods the bathroom floor, but not a big problem.

    We had a good stay. Good quiet location. The rooms are simple but have everything you'd need. It was very clean. Very nice breakfast with a good selection. It has quite a few different outlooks, over the courtyard, views towards Chora, and out to the rear. All are pleasant and peaceful, but they do seem to have different sized balconies. It seems to be family run and all the staff we encountered were really friendly, helpful and kind. I would definitely stay there again.

    it wasn’t the quietest at night, but that was mostly noise outside the hotel.

    very nice location, wonderful exterior. the staff were the highlight, sending a car for me when i arrived (without me even asking) and graciously allowing me to leave my bags for the day, as my ferry didn’t leave until 12am. the room was comfortable and clean, and there was a little balcony included that was charming. it was so hot when I stayed but I maybe saw 1-2 mosquitos the whole time.

    The rooms were dirty and outdated. Very small for 2 people. With better cleaning staff and an updated room this hotel could be a 5 star

    The staff was very pleasant and the location was perfect! Loved the outside of the hotel with the stones. Walking distance to the town. Accommodating reception desk

    Hotel Effie is very good situated near to the beach and to the town. From our great balcony we had a great view to the castle and to the Sea. The room was very clean and the Breakfast was very delicious. A short distance walk goes to the Meloi Beach a very quiet and fantastic beach in a corniche. A near pretty nice restaurant I can recommand without any doubt.

    Stay Away from this hotel. The behavior of the lady in the reception was rude and direspectful. I had two diferrent bookings in a row. The rooms do not follow the descriptions, be very careful. She blamed booking.com and their description for that. After i wrote my review for the first stay she called me on the phone in a very rude way, she spoke in an unprofessional and offensive way and she hang up the phone. This hotel is very old with out of date equipment (even with fire distinguishers expired), not at all sound insulation, poor breakfast. Patmos island is great, there are many other choices to stay, you will regret choosing this one, they can destroy your vacation as you will not find proper services or rest at this hotel.
