Virginia Hotel

This is an absolutely super hotel, really (really!) well run by the the exceptionally friendly and helpful Fontini and her team. It’s just a bit uphill from the sea front at Samos/Vathi – say a leisurely eight minutes’ walk down to the sea and the main square, and perhaps twelve minutes on the way back up. The building is stylish and well-appointed. A small lift gets you as far as floor three, with the top floor a further staircase up. The place is kept impeccably clean – communal areas and rooms (with daily room servicing). A highlight is the roof pool area accessed from the third floor – with a small but perfectly useable pool (good for a few strokes per length, and, of course, cooling refreshment), sun beds, a shower and an outstanding view over the town and bay. The ground floor houses reception (from which you will always receive a friendly greeting whenever you pass), the breakfast area (breakfasts looked super, but I didn’t indulge), and a bar and terrace. I was welcomed ahead of my formal check-in time and allowed to leave my bags behind reception and use the pool; likewise after check-out on the day of departure. When I visit Samos again (and I sincerely hope I will), The Virginia Hotel will be my first choice.

Very nice and welcoming staff at the hotel, always looking after you and wanting to make guests as happy as possible. Tortoises in the yard were always making me smile! ＜3 Breakfast was tasty every single morning, fresh fruits, tomatos and eggs, greek sausages, homemade bougatsa was my absolute favourite! Room was nice and tidy, great view from the balcony. Not too far from town square. Great view from the pool! Loved every minute of our stay ＜3

This is a beautiful hotel in Samos city, only 10 minutes walk from the centre. We had a car and it was easy to park in front of the hotel. We booked a room with double bed and balcony view overlooking the bay. Very clean and comfortable room. The mattress was soft and new! Small bathroom but cosy. The little pool on the roof was cool and the view wonderful. Fried eggs for breakfast was highly appreciated. Staff would do anything to help us . Very good service better than in a 5 star hotel. Certainly would love to come back.
