Kalypso Studios

Good value hotel with a nice pool. We really liked this hotel and the family apartment worked well. Unfortunately our room didn't have sea view instead it was a view of the building in front which was disappointing. The area was good for hiking, lots of good restaurants and the ferry to Telendous is only a 5 min walk.

We enjoyed our stay here; comfortable bed, everywhere clean & tidy. Pool well maintained with plenty of sunbeds & chairs and shade if required. Staff friendly & efficient. Most rooms appear to have a small partial sea view as there is another building in front. Free safe deposit box was a bonus but no changing room for those guests checking out with a late departure. Good location; close to several tavernas and shops within a 10 min. walk. Also close to the ferry point to Telendos which is well worth a visit. As usual in these parts there are no footpaths so it is a case of dodging the local traffic.

Situato a pochi metri dalla spiaggia di Myrties, lo studio era minuscolo, pochissimo spazio per girare in due e neanche tanto funzionale. La posizione è rumorosissima, in prossimità di due strade molto trafficate a tutte le ore. Gli spazi comuni di piscina e idromassaggio molto belli e puliti, ma sinceramente mi sembra un po' troppo sopravvalutato nelle recensioni

It was a really fantastic experience staying at Kalypso ... the location is perfect, a nice walk into Massouri, very close to Myrties pier for going across to Telendos, also close to bus stops to take you all over the island. The room was a good size with enough storage and plug points and air con. Great size balcony with a good view (we stayed in room 4 on 1st floor). Everything was perfect for us with everything we needed. The pool area was fantastic with lots of space, we don't spend all day by the pool as we're usually at the beach but we always pop in for an hour or so at the end of the day, there is a shower and toilet by the side of the pool which we used on the last day to rinse off before we got picked up as we had already checked out. The staff are absolutely lovely and very accommodating but a special shout out has to go to the cleaners who did an absolutely brilliant job changing bedding, towels emptying the bins every day except Sunday. If I ever go back to Kalymnos again I would definitely stay again!

Hotel rooms are comfortable and staff friendly and helpful. Rooms are ok, we had a top floor room so had a seaview, not sure every room gets a seaview. Housekeeping is excellent. We had breakfast, served at the hotel across the road and it was very nice. There's a local bus that stops nearby (at the Spongia hotel) and its only EUR2 into town. Unfortunately the pool setup was not ideal. We travelled with Jet2 and they don't advertise on their website that the pool at the Kalypso Hotel is open to use to guests from neighbouring hotels (none of which have their own pools) and also the general public. There are only 10 sunbeds (which are rock hard!) and at some points it was impossible to get a seat. Weekends are even worse when non-hotel guests use the pool area all day with hordes of screaming children jumping in the pool all day. On one day a family pulled up outside in a car, simply walked into the hotel and jumped into the jacuzzi. They they spotted that there was a EUR5 pp charge and promptly ran out! Most days we gave up and went out to the beach. Its one of least relaxing holidays I've ever been on and a real shame as the hotel is lovely and location great. For guests travelling with Jet2 on a late flight to Kos, be warned, if you miss the last ferry you'll be put into accommodation on Kos (which we knew about in advance). In our case it was no where near Mastichari port (we were put up in the sunshine hotel in Tingaki) and we then had to wait for a coach transfer with other guests staying on Kos and spent over an hour dropping off guests at 1am. We managed 4 hours sleep max before being picked up again at 8am to make the 9am ferry (fortunately this transfer was by taxi). Please Jet2 put guests travelling to Kalymnos in accommodation at Mastichari and don't make them travel around Kos doing late night drop offs! On the way back to Kalymnos port for our return journey, the minibus was so overloaded with people and baggage in the aisles and on chairs it was dangerous. We also had a two hour wait in Mastichari port before a coach picked up up to go to the airport.

Would definitely stay again! Great base for exploring the island in a lovely quiet area. We had read about the hill up to the main road, if you struggle with mobility it could be an issue but to be fair it wasn’t an issue for us. Staff at hotel were amazing and helpful, could not fault the cleanliness of the room. The two ladies that clean the rooms do a great job and towels and bedding changed daily. We had food by the pool a couple of times and lovely. Breakfast was served just across the small road in the sister hotel and good selection. Close by to the the jetting that you get the water taxi over to Telendos (definitely need to visit)
