Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Kos KM, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay, as the lower floors may be closer to the street and potentially noisier. Additionally, consider rooms on the west side of the hotel, as they may receive afternoon sunlight and a more pleasant view of the surrounding streets.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be closer to the service entrance and potentially noisier. Also, rooms near the lift may experience noise from the elevator shaft.
