Reviews for Dorian
Review 1：Would have preferred a real double bed. Not a great fan of the "love gap"
Review 2：Overall atmosphere, very good and romantic to stay. I'm definitely going back. Fotini is extremely friendly and helpful.
Review 3：Bottom studio does not have sea view. May want to request room with view. Shower does not have holder for soap - small irritation.
Review 4：Very friendly and helpful owner. She provides bread and condiments for breakfast although breakfast is not included. Also got discount at taxi boat and boat cruise due to us staying at dorian. Location is away from the main drag so quiet in evening but close enough to everything. If ever we come back to symi we will definitely stay here again.
Review 5：For the more senior, senior citizens, the steps to the studios etc particularly in the heat, can be quite a challenge. However, most of Symi is like this & is doesnt spoil what is a lovely holiday
Review 6：Fotini, the owner, is so kind & generous. The accomodation is very good. The views over the port gave you a constantly changing scene.
Review 7：Quite many stairs to get to the rooms if you have a heavy suitcase. The rooms were warm and humid but with the air- conditioning, it was ok!
Review 8：nice, cozy, clean hotel in a good location near the port of Symi. Friendly staff, fresh towels and breakfast supplies every day. Good value for money.
Review 9：Fotini the owner was very friendly and hospitable. She would bring fresh bred rolls,pastry or fruit every morning!!! Don't forget to take her husband's boat "Poseidon" around the island!!! It is so worth it!!!!
Review 10：You need to be able to climb approx 50 steps to the door but we were met and helped with the luggage.
Review 11：Very welcoming and helpful. Fresh linen and towels every day. Breakfast supplies to your door every morning as requested. Met from the ferry and shown the way (not far).
Review 12：The hotel made up of small apartments was well situated close to the centre of town - but in a quiet area. The hotel owner was friendly and very helpful and did everything to make sure the stay was as pleasant as possible.
Review 13：NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY!
Review 14：The location of the property is great! We had a sea view room with a really cozy balcony. The room was excellent in all points. Mrs. Foteini (owner) just the best! Always smiling and always to be there for us. Everything was amazing!
Review 15：Can't think of anything
Review 16：All the rooms at the Dorian are uniquely decorated with beautiful artwork. This was such a different experience for us from other places that we stayed at. We had everything that we needed and were able to cook our meals in the well equipped kitchen. The view over the harbor from the outside sitting area was fantastic. We can't wait to come back to Symi and the Dorian.
Review 17：- Small living space inside (but lots of room outside on the terrace) - Lots of stairs to climb
Review 18：- Fotini is a great host and tries to make you feel at home - Partial seaview from the terrace - Cozy split level apartment - Quiet location
Review 19：You need to walk up a series of stairs to reach the hotel, but that is the way in most places in Symi. Rooms are nice but a bit dark.
Review 20：A nice place to stay in Symi. Room we stayed in was clean but had only a small window so was a bit dark. ‘Fotini’, the hotel owner, is extremely friendly and helpful. She brought us fresh baked cookies in the morning for the breakfast and guide us well on what to do in the island.
Review 21：Breakfast products could be further improved. The room was equiped with standardized butter and jams (The owner did however provide us with fresh croissants on the first day). The maisonette we stayed in, despite good overall, did not have a double bed (equipped with two single beds).
Review 22：Mrs Fotini (the owner) was great! Very kind and eager to help. Nice views. Very clean. Excellent location.
Review 23：The stairs (around 50) to climb up to the studio but it was worth it! They help at arrival and departure with your luggages, included in the price!
Review 24：The house was beatifully painted by local artist with flowers and colourful windows and doors, we slept wonderfully after long beach days and boat trips in the typical wooden made bedroom, nice kitchen and bathroom. Had relaxing breakfast in the fresh patio looking at the boats and the sea. Mrs Fotini received us at the boat and helped us with good advises for boat trips,restaurants etc. Her husband was our excellent captain and cook for a whole day tour and nicely prepared lunch in the island. You spend your vacation with a real 'Symi' family. Don't hesitate to book and just follow their advise if first time in Symi. thanks, Mille grazie, Susanna, Roma
Review 25：This hidden gem is tucked away from the busy harbour side area. Extremely quiet location. Rooms are decorated tastefully with a Greek "kitsch" feeling. Fotini the owner is accommodating allowing us a late check out while we waited for our ferry. Personal touches of the hotel much appreciated.

Review 49：A very nice place to stay! In fact among the best guest rooms I ever visited in Greece, and I have been places there. The rooms are kept extremely clean. ‘Fotini’, the hotel owner, is very friendly and will do everything to keep her guests happy. If ever I return to Symi, I hope there will be a room available for me in the Dorian.
Review 50：Lovely friendly owner ! Symi is a beautiful island ! the location is good ! good wi-fi , good view ! we live at another places in Symi , but DORIAN we like better than all !))))))))) thx for all !!!!!
Review 51：Only one cereal bowl, only one wine glass, no tin opener or extra pillows.
Review 52：Attentiveness of owner. Bread delivered every morning for breakfast. Position - near to town and beach but still quiet.
Review 53：Lovely friendly owner. Nothing too much trouble. Supplied fruit for breakfast as she was aware my husband has coeliac. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Review 54：The owner was very welcoming and really did everything she could to make my stay special and memorable. Symi is a beautiful island and my stay at the Dorian really helped make my visit extra special.
Review 55：friendliness of Fotini and her willingness to do anything for us to make our stay good. . we were upgraded to tow maisonettes. the decor in bedroom. was really lovely. great location for everything
Review 56：Nothing - everything was great.
Review 57：Fotini, the manager, was very hospitable and friendly. She took great care of us. We had a studio with a small kitchenette. We cooked several meals there to save money. This is a great option for families or someone in Symi for an extended stay. The location is great. There is a partial sea view from the several terraces and chairs. It is located near the clock tower but around the corner from the main area. There are less tourists here but you are a 3 minute walk to the action.
Review 58：The owner of the hotel is really friendly and kind, just like a mother. We have a room which has a small kitchen inside, and our breakfast is served in a tiny cute basket. All the rooms are on their own, independent from each other (5 or 6 rooms in total) Everything is clean and OK. The price is really very economical. I will surely stay at the same hotel the next time. Better for couples and want a calm-peaceful holiday.
Review 59：Just spent an amazing week in beautiful surroundings of Dorian Hotel. Extremely helpful owner Fotini and perfect location near the harbour but so quiet. WiFi worked well too. A few steps up from water but easily managed and worth it for the view. Would certainly return here. 10/10.
Review 60：The owner, Fotini, is very kind, friendly and helpful person. The location of the hotel is great (close to the port and town center as well as the beach), very close to the sea - the second row of houses) and there is a beautiful terrace overlooking the bay.
Review 61：The studio we stayed at was comfy and pretty. There is an every day cleaning service and new towels.The patio has a lovely view at the harbour. Fotini though(the owner) is the real jem of Dorian. Friendly, professional and very pleasant gives life and character at her wonderfull hotel. Greatly recommended.
Review 62：Just be aware that the bathrooms are very small.
Review 63：We had a lovely time there. The hotel is small, simple but very clean and lovely decorated. Fotini's (the hotel owner) was very kind and welcoming, she even met us at the port as we arrived by ferry. Location was great, very close to the town centre and with a wonderful view on the harbour, just know that there are lots of steps to get to the hotel. The bathroom was simple, a bit too small but very clean.
Review 64：Fantastic maisonette with a beautiful view and extremely well situated. This is an exception where the actual place is better than the photos of it. I would hapily stay here again.
Review 65：The wi-fi was a bit weak inside the room but not a problem for us. The room was a bit damp.
Review 66：Fotini's (the hotel owner) hospitality was incredible! She's very warm, sincere, and loves to know her guests. She even met us at the port as we arrived by ferry. Location was great, 2 minutes to the port. The hotel was very nicely decorated and beautifully painted. The room was big and bathroom was clean.
Review 67：In a lovely traditional building, full of character and charm, simplebut pretty decor, lovely terrace with sea view, staff were very friendlyand left us a gift of pastries one day and a small gift when we left,was easy to relax, safe and welcoming.
