I asked the local rep for one of the tour operators why everyone was not staying in the hotel Nireus. Well it only has 2 stars, it doesn't have wide screen multi channel tv in the room, nor a well stocked mini bar, nor a swimming pool. But I said- look at the location, 5 star hotels would die for...

We were staying at Nirus in autumn 2011 and our return in May was en even more positive experience than the first. This tine we had balcony and sea view and spent several evenings there in nice teperature for Norwegians adn with a glass of white wine. Nireus is a very well maintained hotel (probably family run) with an exceptional... More

We had a room with a view of the sea and sitting on the balcony in the evening was fantastic. We also enjoyed having our breakfast by the sea and going for a swim right in front of the hotel. The room was adequate and clean. We enjoyed borrowing books from the library of left-behind books. The owner and the... More

We returned again to this wonderful hotel in Symi. Our room was on the front with breathtaking views. we cannot fault this hotel and dont be put off with the 2 star rating. We had breakfast on the jetty every morning and we were ther in October

The Nireus is a relatively small, family-run hotel which faces out to sea on the outer harbour of the island of Symi. My wife and I have stayed there about half a dozen times over the last fifteen years or so, the last being in August 2011. As others have noted, the views from the front-facing rooms are wonderful and... More

We spent a week at tha Nireus at the beginning of October. The hotel was chosen reading the reviews on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. We asked to be upgraded to a room on the front and the views were worth every penny. The room was extremely clean, beddings and towels changed every day. Ver comfortable beds and powerful... More

Nireus already has excellent reviews and that's why we chose to stay there. It's clean, and simply furnished so no frills but the staff are very friendly and always happy to help. BUT I do wish they would enforce the NO SMOKING rule in the public areas. We had to ask another guest to smoke elsewhere while we were having... More

The hotel offers good quality accommodation at the best location in Symi. It is on the waterfront , which means no nighly climb to your hotel and easy access to the town and eateries . Would certainly recommend - and try and get a room on the top floor with seaview. Note there is no lift so you will need... More

We were delighted with our choice of hotel. The Nireus is just a minute's walk from the ferry by the old clocktower on Symi's harbour front. Our 2nd floor room was enormous (in fact I think it was probably classed as a suite) and had two balconies looking over the harbour. These were ideal for sitting on in the evening... More
