My wife and I were there at the end of March in the "off" season. The studio was nice and clean. The owner was extremely hospitable and it was obviously quiet. We were there for climbing and the location was great. Far enough away from the town that it was quiet and close enough to be handy. Can't wait to... More

We stayed at The Philoxenia in July 2012, and it surpassed my expectations. We booked through Manos, Thomas Cook as a late booking. The only other Greek island we had previously visited was Kefalonia, and this accomodation beat anything there. We had a seaview room, and the views are breathtaking. The rooms are clean although basic. Typical of Greek accomodation.The... More

We spent a wonderful relaxing week at the Hotel Philoxenia in June The location is superb, George,Maria and Nick make you feel so welcome. Hire a moped to see the rest of this beautiful island, we can thoroughly recommend it. There are a number of good restaurants within walking distance or try Maria's "home cooking".

We have just spend a week in Kalymnos and at Philoxenia. The rooms are not very big but enough. The kitchen area is a bit small and really very basic cutlery so if you need anything special for your cooking bring it from home as well as other stuff needed for washing up. Really nice view over the sea and... More

This is a family run hotel, Nicholas mother Maria is a wonderful cook... More

The hotel is rather small with 27 rooms in total. This makes it very easy for the family , who owns the hotel, to connect with all the guest to make them feel at home. The location is excellent in regard to the view from the balconies and distance to beaches and scooter rentals and so on, but it is... More

It is hard to review this hotel from any other perpective except the rock climber; but then climbing is the reason for most people visiting Kalymnos. The Philoxenia is perfectly located under the Grande Grotta, far enough from the cafes and restaurants in Massouri to feel a little exclusive but still close enough to reach by walking easily. Views across... More

This is a very special location, away from the loud motorcycles and scooters that run around the port and the more busy side of Kalymnos. This has a spectacular view of the island of Telendos and the sea. The nights are beautiful with bright stars in a black canopy. The sound of goats bells moving in the mountains behind the... More

The hotel was really nice, the room was good and the beds were comfortable. As Greek accomodation is always basic, this was above average compared to previous places we have stayed in Kalymnos. The family that runs the hotel are very friendly and accomodating to your needs and were willing to try to please us if we had any requests.... More
