SPONGIA HOTEL SUITES & Spa

A great newer hotel in great Kalymnos location. Smaller hotel//less guests. Very convenient location, can walk to restaurants, stores, boat launch. Nice big room with nice bathroom/shower, kitchenette, tables/ chairs, sofas. Beds/couches comfortable. Good housekeeping service and in-house laundry service. The ground level room with covered terrace worth the extra cost for larger room, covered terrace, with 2 lounge chairs, table w/ chairs, and hot tub. These rooms close to patio/pool area. Nice staff at pool area. Good pool food and drink menu. Desk staff (Fotini, Maria, Sevastos) were excellent and helpful. Kitchen staff did good job. Great food variety and taste/loved the breakfast. Has small private beach. Taxi stand/bus stop in front of hotel. Stalas convenience store just a minute away and great for quick shopping. Nice side area to walk down to pool/patio/beach. No problem with noise from other rooms. Fridge was bigger and worked well. Plates and cutlery available in room. Covered pool lounge beds available, as well as covered seating area for eating next to pool.

Like all GR tourist areas, a bit short of help/ some of wait staff would benefit from more training/consistency/ attention to detail and making sure guests have everything (like water, cutlery, napkins, etc.), but all were nice, helpful, fulfilled any requests. Coffee had to be made far away and brought to dining area, so not always hot/fresh. No parking for rental cars. Had to use public lot up the road and hill (just an inconvenience, but true). A fair number of unanticipated step-downs/step-ups which can cause slips/falls in not seen. Not fans of the bed up on an elevated area. Safe was fine but couldn’t be programmed/ attendant had to give me a key to use. A microwave in room would be nice. Design of covered pool lounge beds would benefit from true coverage, as current slatted rods let in a good bit of sun. Shower doors couldn’t be locked and floor of shower quite slippery.

Great location, you can also hop on small boats going across to Telendos village. Nice restaurants on both sides.

Last day 3-4 Nordic families came with 2 children each and they took over the pool completely. Nothing the hotel can do about other than make some rules about noise.

The design and the location were close to perfection.

Shower room size was sacrificed for more space in the living area.

Wunderschöne Lage mit tollen Blick nach Telendos
