Albatros
About the Island Hotel
Albatros - A traditional 2-star hotel near Symi Port with a Greek breakfast and a host who arranges port pickup
With a 9.5/10 Booking.com rating, Albatros pairs 2-star accommodations with a location 400 metres from Symi Port and a 13-minute walk from Nos Beach. The traditional building sits on a quiet side street 30 metres from the waterfront, placing guests at the same level as the port, markets, bars, and tavernas, avoiding Symi's steep hill. Each air-conditioned room includes a balcony, private bathroom, dining area, work desk, and free WiFi, with mountain or city views. The host, Nikolas, meets guests at the port and provides a complimentary transfer to Albatros, along with a map-based overview of Symi's highlights and advice on restaurants and beaches. Breakfast is served daily and includes eggs, spinach pie, bread, jam, yoghurt, fruit, juice, tea, and coffee. Guests can use the free laundry service, luggage storage, and tour desk, while daily housekeeping and a 24-hour front desk are available. The property also offers express check-in/check-out, private check-in/check-out, and a paid shuttle service. Fitness classes and walking tours are available, and the hotel features allergy-free rooms, non-smoking rooms, and a designated smoking area. Albatros is located 63 km from Rhodes International Airport, with Ενετικο Καστρο Των Ιπποτων Συμησ (700 metres) within walking distance. The host speaks Greek, English, French, and some Italian, and provides personal attention throughout the stay. Guests receive a warm welcome at Albatros, including a complimentary transfer back to the port upon departure.
