The hotel is excellent and extremely welcoming. When we arrived in the middle of the night and left in the middle of the night there was someone there both times.
The hotel is not too small to feel confined but not too big to not feel welcome and recognised. There were always a few spare sunbeds when you needed one and is in a great location. Its an easy walk into Kos town and there is plenty to do. I went with my boyfriend and we are both in our early twenties. The night when we wanted to visit 'bar street' we could but the nights when we didn't. It's great because its all confined to one area and you can easily avoid it and head to old Kos where you find the old cobbled streets and more traditional restaurants. And with boats, harbour side restaurants and beach side restaurants you wont be short of places to eat!
Also hire a bicycle. Everyone does and its about 2E for a day. We cycled to other beaches. Don't go on the Thomson arranged three island tour for 49E, go on one direct from the harbour for 20E and exactly the same.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alice Springs. We arrived in the early hours of the morning, greeted by friendly staff and the hospitality of the whole family made the holiday very relaxing. Staff couldn't do enough for us and their Kleftiko is not to be missed. There was entertainment for everyone most evenings, the barbecue was especially good with delicious food. They always gave good advice on where to go, where to eat, what to do. The pool area had a lovely atmosphere for families and couples with the beach less that a 5 minute walk away. The rest of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the breakfasts are a must for anyone with a sore head from the night before!
The rooms were basic, but great value for money and cleaned everyday.
We had a lovely holiday because of the hotel warmth and family atmosphere.

Great place - see above!

I highly recommend the Alice Springs Hotel; it does not have one bad point. The owners, George and Barbara and the rest of the family make you feel as though you are staying in their house. They go out of their way to make sure you are happy and having a great holiday.
The weekly BBQ is a must, the food and entertainment will be a highlight in your holiday.
The Hotel is only 4min walk from the beach and 20min walk from the centre of Kos Town. There is a huge selection of restaurants near by to go to. George will always point you in the right direction if asked.
The hotel rooms are spacious, in good condition and are kept very clean. The pool is well sized and there is also a small paddling pool. You are able to buy hot and cold food and drink throughout the day at reasonable prices.

I cannot recommend the Alice Springs hotel enough. My boyfriend and I just came back from a brilliant two weeks there. The owners George and Barbara and their family are so friendly and fun and make sure you have a great time. The BBQ and meals they put on are not to be missed! Kos itself is lovely with loads to do, but staying in this hotel really made the holiday special. The pool and rooms are very good quality. You won't want to leave!
