Virginia Hotel

Virginia Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We couldn’t fault our stay with Virginia Hotel . Even though only 2 nights we were pleasantly surprised from start to finish . Housekeeping was daily , fresh towels amenities replenished n staff were super good & efficient. We checked in very late at night n were worried if there would be anyone there @ midnight . Sofia greeted us, checked us in ran thru procedures professionally n confidently . Breakfast was plentiful & good variety . We were attended by Anna , made us feel like family and helped with the surrounds of the town & pointed places for us to see . She had a great sense of humour, chatted to all guests & if they wanted anything else she was happy to arrange. Hats of to her The Virginia Hotel is lucky to have staff that are dedicated to their jobs especially Anna … wish I could stay I’ll be back , age prevails but I’ll definitely recommend this hotel in Samos .

"Room was very tired particularly the bathroom,creaky stiff tap,non fitting toilet seat and clearly old rusted radiators - However the location was good and for 3 nights it suited our needs - a kettle in the room would have been fantastic as we like our morning and evening brew on the balcony- luckily a coffee shop was next door but a simple addition of a kettle would have been more convenient and make such a difference "
