  Relaxing, clean and comfortable stay in prime location. Highly recommend Despina Studios!!!

  21 Sept 2025

  Despina Studios are in an amazing location with a cove you can swim in literally in front of your door step. The views are beautiful and always changing. The studios are clean, quite roomy and well equipped with everything you need for a great holiday. The location is perfect with restaurants and town within walking distance. The car park is a few minutes walk but you can drive right up to the apartments and drop your luggage and then go and park the car, this is common on the island. Despina is kind and nothing is too much trouble, she is a great host.I would highly recommend booking for a relaxing and comfortable stay at Despina Studios. Thanks Despina we will definitely return😊

  Nightmare

  01 Aug 2025

  At first sight the hotel seems old and not well maintained. The bathroom is very small and smells bad. All furnitures are old and needs to be modernized, only positieve part is the good location of the studio. The nightmare started around 1 am at night. we spot several cockroach’s and one of them was walking on my brother’s face while he was sleeping. We called and asked the owner lady to provide us an insect killer spray. She started to defend herself and tried to explain us that this is normal. She also mentioned that all hotels on the eiland Samos has this same issue. Due to high temparature this summer she thinks that it is absolutely normal to have cockroach’es ın your room. Later on we saw another cockroach entering our room via the bottom of the entrance door of our studio. There is more than enough space at the bottom of doors so all insects can easily come and visit us in the room. As you can imagine we could not sleep till the morning and looked for another hotel on different websites. All hotels close to kokkari were unfortunately full and we asked the owner to clean and use insect killer spray to at least have a good rest on our second night. At the end, I don’t think that the owner lady is a bad person but in all our conversations she was defending herself instead of listening us and taking her responsiblity. We booked the despina studio’s via booking.com and paid 204 euro’s for two nights. I expect at least basic comfort and not all the insects we came across during our stay. The owner kept on saying she can not guarentee the second night without insects in her building. In these circumstances She even refused to cooperate for an hour later check out on our last day (12 am instead of 11 am). Whilst the location is good and close to many facilities please avoid this hotel during your stay on Samos.

  Thank you Despina for such a nice place to stay! We have been coming here for many years, and hopefully many more years to come. Everything is always very clean and the beds are super! Despina and Yianni are great people who always meet the guests' wishes! We love the view and the proximity to the restaurants. Also the ideal starting point for tours across the island!Thank you for everything!!!Biggi

  Simply wonderful

  23 Sept 2019

  Just spent 3 weeks at this fabulous location. Perfect for beach, restaurants and bars. The apartments are right in front of the small harbour beach and a stunning location. The interior was stylish and minimal with natural stone walls and rugs and bed throw in natural shades. Chrisp white bedding and towels, the towels were changed daily. Quality pillows and comfortable bed. Very clean with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Despinia and her husband Yannis were absolutely charming...Below was the view from our terrace
