Rooms are extremely dated and need a bit of attention. Especially the kitchens and bathrooms. Our room (113) the shower head didn't even hold in the shower holder therefore every time we had a shower we needed to hold the shower head resulting in the bathroom getting flooded every time. 
The kitchen was also very dated and the worktop was coming away. 

On a positive note - The rooms were cleaned every day which was good. The main bedroom was clean and nothing was broken in there. 

The pool in October was very cold we could not get in it. The sunbeds were comfy. The cost of drinks is amazing, very cheap. 

We didn't eat a lot of the food, but it was good/average. 

I can see these apartments would be good in the height of the summer. 

The walk from the hotel into Kos Harbour is about 10 minutes so not good for someone who isn't good on their feet or struggle with mobility. 
Kos Old Town is a 20 min walk from here. 

Altogether we did enjoy our stay with Lenaki and the owners were lovely and helpful. Just the slight issues in the room which is letting them down slightly. However these may be fixed during the closed season.

Rooms very dates but nice enough apartments / pool area. A good base in Kos Town.

To risk parroting other reviews; Lenaki is an amazing small apartment hotel complex ran by wonderful staff who are friendly and welcoming. It punches well above it's three star rating. The grounds are well kept and clean including the lovely pool. The apartments are well kept and clean. The food offering is all day long with everything through breakfast and snacks to full evening menu and very well stocked bar. All very affordable too, cheaper than town on the whole.

The location is around a 10 minute walk inland from the back / West of the town, which whilst info not think is a far walk (with most tourist accommodation being even further, just up on the back of Lambi beach) but this takes you out of the noisy hustle and bustle of town and into the countryside with far reaching views of the Koan mountains.

Supermarket and bars are very easy access on foot.

I can't praise Lenaki and it's staff enough, they have helped my family have a wonderful and relaxing stay near Kos town.

Late October 2024

Fantastic Rural Fringe of Town Hidden Gem.

So I’m a Crowne plaza luxury kind of girl but that isn’t my budget for a two week stay! 
I am struggling to understand all the really negative reviews. I stayed here last year and had a great experience. I found previous owners friendly enough, location was perfect for me 
So this year the complex is under new ownership. Still family run by Vasililis and Andriana (apologies for spellings). 
Upon arrival I was greeted with a welcome drink, paid my hotel tax and bought a pack of 6 one litre water bottles for €3. You will need to pay extra if you decide you need air conditioning. 
I had paid more for a larger room than last time (I’m autistic and previous year small shower with curtain that kept touching me freaked me out). I was glad to have the larger shower cubicle. 
So the apartments are basic and a bit dated. You have to remember it’s Greece and a budget apartment. You only
Have a double hob and sandwich toaster to prepare food but to be honest reasonably priced food available at the bar if you don’t eat out and a lovely bakery ten mins walk away! 
Apartments are lovely and clean, I notice touches for this year  that there are new shower curtains, new kettles, new sink drainer etc. my mattresses also looked brand new. 
My only complaints comfort wise are wishing I could have had a double bed rather than the two singles and yes there is a bit of an ant issue (couldn’t find anything in supermarket to deal with this) but that’s not uncommon abroad. 
I was in ground floor room 105. Not as nice a view as last year’s room but quick access to the pool. My balcony didn’t seem to catch sunlight, not an issue as I only sat there for a cuppa in the morning, a cuppa while getting ready to go to town at night and maybe a beer to chat with a friend a couple of nights.  My clothes still dried super quick when hung out. I also had lovely neighbours each side of me! 
Pool area is spotless. Lovely pool. New cushions on the sun loungers. More than enough loungers for the guests (bear in mind I arrived end of September). Yes the odd few do the old towel out at the crack of dawn but I never had issues getting a lounger. 
Bar is well stocked and very reasonably priced. 
Now on a night time or if out for a wander I eat out. However I had a good few lunches and breakfasts from the bar. Lovely selection of food, some great salad, pitta,hummus etc. good breakfasts choices. I was struggling with my IBS some days so had some lovely bowls of Greek yoghurt, honey, fruit and sprinkled with oat flakes. I didn’t eat evening meals there but other customers said the pizzas were great. I did try one on my last day for lunch and it was great and way too big for me to eat! 
Onto the staff, cleaners are great and friendly if you have time for a chat, Anna was  our main point of contact in the day time. She did a great job on the bar and cooking till Andriana got in. Anna was so friendly, bubbly and always smiling. We had some great laughs. Mehmet did the night time bar and also seemed friendly
Although I generally wasn’t at the bar on a night time. 
Andriana and Vasillis are warm and friendly and also can’t do enough to welcome you and help you. In fact I saw how kind they were to a lady whose friend was a nightmare and flew back home on day 2. They went above and beyond to look after the remaining lady who was unexpectedly alone!
As a solo, female traveller I felt so safe and welcome here. I have seen another female, solo traveller post that she did not feel safe which I can’t fathom. I’m a very anxious person but felt safe and relaxed. 
You are a 15 min walk from Kos town. I felt perfectly safe doing this walk late at night or early hours of morning. You are in a well lit, mostly residential area for most of the walk. Last few mins is bit of a dirt track with a couple of other hotels, gym, shop etc. it’s still decently lit and is pretty quiet save for others staying on the road walking down it. I felt safer walking here than I do in my home town! 
You are also a ten min walk from lambi beach area and a lot of other restaurants,shops and a great bakery!
For me the location is perfect. Close to get to town but a quieter area when you get back. 
Now the quiet does get shattered in some ways. Yes there are some cockerels who love to sing (I couldn’t hear them as much from this year’s room as I did last year). There also is entertainment some nights so yes some nights there was music till around midnight. Personally this didn’t bother me. At the end of the day not everyone leaves the apartment complex, some people don’t want to go to town so expect a bit of entertainment. Lenaki obviously want customers to spend money at their bar on an evening so need to attract people to stay. 
Most nights music was finished by the time I got home,the evenings I was home early I still dropped off to sleep. 
Bear in mind this is the first year under new ownership so they will be learning to judge what the majority of their customers want. 
I believe there are renovations planned to bring the e apartments up to date. This will be great but I hope doesn’t move them out of the budget friendly price range. 
Personally in spite of me being a bit of a princess I can’t fault Lenaki. Great value for money and it’s absolutely a home away from home for me. I feel so relaxed and welcome there. 
After two visits I’m ready to do a holiday in a different country next year, but I will definitely be back again to lenaki in the future.

A much needed relaxing break in place with warm, friendly atmosphere.

Asked for a quiet room. Was allocated room very near the bar and opposite the entrance and road to the front.Not quiet. 
Music onto after 11.30 and then on some nights people in the bar until after 3.00 am.
Room also opposite a scrapyard. Saw working at 8.00 am one morning and Cockerel crowing all times of the day/night.
Went to the beach most days for peace and quiet.
Sunbeds taken early near pool by towel huggers.
Would not return

Not relaxing time. SR

Lovely clean apartment ( although a little dated ) but very comfortable beds and spacious , lovely Quiet location but within a few minutes walk to bars , shops , beach  and 10  minutes walk to the harbour  . Wonderful friendly staff  . Lovely bar area with really good food and drinks at very reasonable prices too .i would really recommend this gem of a place and will definitely return

Lovely place to relax and beautiful pool

Terrible is the only word for it. Would not recommend these apartments to anyone. The management team were awful, didn't like being asked basic questions or helping with queries. They are in the wrong business. They were unhelpful, unfriendly, and money grabbing. They provided no entertainment whatsoever and as a result there was no atmosphere whatsoever. Guests didn't seem to mingle much, probably as they were bored stuff. A retirement home would have more life in it. The staff were friendly though, which is amazing as they management was soo awful.
Accommodation very basic and worn. 
Avoid these place like the plague.
 

Worst holiday apartments 

grotty and almost dangerous electrics - no air con unless you are prepared to be conned! nasty nasty bar food - rude employees ..... very basic grotty apartment - broken door handles - shower blocked with hair ...gross ......cooker wired up with insulating tape ......refused ice to take to room.....place is a joke

joke

After reading lots of reviews we decided to take a bit of a gamble on Lenaki apartments.  After our 10 day visit I can see things from both sides.
The good:
The staff were all great.  Sure the owner didn't talk to us very much, but the bar staff and cleaning staff that we encountered daily were all really nice and welcoming - thank you to them
The pool is nice and not as cold as many are in October, and the beds around it are much nicer than most.  The public areas of the apartments look nice and had no issues with smells or dirt which can afflict places in Greece sometimes.
The beds in the apartment were typical reasonable Greek beds - basic and quite firm but we had no problem sleeping on them and they were clean.
The cooking facilities are very basic, but typical of cheap apartments in Greece and the fridge cooled our drinks faster than expected.
There was an unfresh smell in our bathroom when we arrived but after a generous dose of bleach (that we bought from a local supermarket) we had no further issues.  It wasn't ideal that we had to deal with this but minor issue slike this aren't uncommon in my experience.
The curtains/shutters were fairly typical of Greece - annoyingly inadequate at keeping out the morning sunlight, but as with other quibbles this is almost to be expected.
The shower was usually ok but did take a very long time to settle on a temperature - taking a long time to warm up and then gradually getting hotter and hotter.  On one occasion the flow of hot water cut off completely which was very frustrating - I think the plumbing in the building couldn't cope when multiple rooms were using water.
Finally, my biggest frustration was with the prices in the bar.  4 euros for a small beer is too expensive, and other drinks were considerably worse value.  The reason this was so frustrating is because it means very few people spend much time around the bar each evening so there is limited social activity which feels like a real missed opportunity.  There were always 1 or 2 couples at the bar area each time we were there but there was never a critical mass for anything more.
The location was fantastic however.  Far enough out from Kos town to be very peaceful, yet only a short walk to reach many great restaurants in the town.  There is also a new looking really good supermarket only ~10 mins walk in the opposite direction (or 2 mins in the car).

Overall we had a decent time at Lenaki, but it did also feel like with just a little more care it could be so much more - a bit of an opportunity missed.  To me a good clean bed and a decent hot shower are the minimum expectation of anywhere I stay - if the shower had been a little more consistent I would have given a 4/5 rating.   Better curtains and better prices at the bar would make this a great place to stay.  As it is however despite the friendly staff and great location I would probably look elsewhere if I was returning to Kos.

Basic cheap apartments, good in parts, mixed in others

This was my first summer holiday since 2008 and my first ever solo trip abroad. I was quite nervous about this but my travel agent used to rep in Kos and recommended these apartments and Kos town. She recommended Lenaki as it is family run and she felt I would feel safe here.
Now I haven't stayed in an apartment since 2008 and I am more used to City breaks in hotels, so it was a bit of a culture shock at first. 
For  self catering accommodation facilities were very lilted. A tiny two ring plug in hob and a toaster. No oven and no sharp knives, limited cutlery. Since looking online I see this is pretty much the norm now.
The insides yes are a little dates and could do with upgrading.However the apartment was clean and  I was overjoyed as a solo traveler to have a 1 bedroom apartment not a studio. I would have preferred to have towel change daily but again I am used to hotels, more regular sheet change would again be preferable in the heat but it wasn't a deal breaker. 
Now onto the real positives. It is a 15-20 min walk to town or the beach. For me this was perfect you are on a quiet road out of town close to a few other hotels and apartments. So no excessive traffic noise or drunk revelers. For me this encouraged me to have a daily walk, one day i even did 20km going off to see the sights. I also felt extremely safe here. At first I was worried about walking alone at night but actually I felt very safe (and staff told me it wasn't an area I had to worry about being attacked etc). I found the staff to be lovely and friendly, especially as I was on my own and I would often sit at the bar and chat a while. I did also find the owners friendly. Their son speaks the best English and was very chatty but the owners do chat to you if you make an effort (just remember their English is limited they are far from rude). Some of the rules yes may seem harsh regarding food, drinks but they are a tiny family business trying to make a living in an industry dominated by large companies. In fact apparently there are very few small family run apartments left and they apparently are paid pretty poor rates from the holiday companies. I don't begrudge them needing people to buy food and drinks for them ( the aircon yes I would disagree regarding needing to pay that).To me drink prices were fair and I was happy to pay £7- £8 euros for a salad for lunch and buy a couple of drinks each day ( and I was on a very tight budget).
I actually got chatting to people who holiday there very regularly and say they feel like family. 
I can see why. This holiday was so important to me as I was ill and run down and needed to relax. I have never felt so chilled in my life and I felt very welcome there.
So in conclusion, they are not luxury apartments. You are in Greece staying in a budget apartment and to be fair I have stayed in some grubbier Chain hotels in England. If you go there not expecting luxury and you make an effort so support them buy buying some snacks and drinks and also make an effort to be friendly with them then they will be warm and friendly back.
I enjoyed this holiday so much that I intend to return next year.
 

Unexpected upgrade when we arrived which was very much appreciated. Very large, newly refurbished room. Very well equipped kitchen. Food was very good & reasonably priced, basic menu. The staff were lovely, very friendly. Excellent pool. Location was very good 20 min walk either way to beach or Kos harbour.
Couple of negatives, can only pay in cash & television with nearly all channels in German.
