Muses-Old Town

Safe hideaway in the Old Town (but watch for the cats!)

Pros: Location is in the old town and reasonably easy to find (but would be better if the address quoted only the street on which the access door is located!). Spacious; manageable for 4 people if you put 2 on the lounge sofa bed. Bars and restaurants close by.

Cons: Worth a bit of maintenance. Toilet seat falling off. Wahing machine works but incorrectly installed- not balanced, bounces when spinning. Oven lacked internal shelves, range hood not functional. Dining and outdoor seating rather uncomfortable. Stairs are rather steep, wouldn’t be good for handicapped, but ok with care otherwise. The town is awash with cats- there are few cat toilet places; beware of brining unwanted cat souvenirs in on your footwear!! Need to get out of the Old Town area if looking for a supermarket.

Can’t beat this apartment for value - great location, clean and comfy. What more can you ask for the price?

Pros: Great location, great value, comfortable - lovely warm welcome by Katerina

A smooth, well-hosted stay in a well-equipped apartment—perfectly placed for ferry port

Pros: I had a great experience at Muses Old Town. Communication with the owner was superb from the start—despite my flight being delayed and arriving quite late, they kindly met me at the apartment around midnight and were incredibly polite and welcoming. The apartment itself was well-equipped with everything needed for a short stay and conveniently located near shops and amenities. Bottles of water were in the fridge. One of the highlights was its proximity to the ferry port for Symi, which made my onward travel easy—though I did find the port layout a little confusing at first. Overall, a smooth and pleasant stay with thoughtful hosting.

Cons: I took the bus from the airport, and hadn't realised the terminal drop-off was about a 15-minute walk away partly through cobbled paths of the old town, it was manageable with small luggage (no reflection on the apartment).

Excellent location for old town access

Pros: Breakfast not included, Streets are cobbled so moving luggage not easy

Cons: Apartment seemed very small and bathroom needs redecorating

Pros: Quiet part of Old Town Comfortable bed Great location

Great value for money in the old town district

Pros: Lovely courtyard and location in the old city walls. Host was very receptive and gladly accom dated our late check in due to a delayed flight. Good amenities

Cons: Mattress was a touch on the hard side but not uncomfortable. Really not much to knock about this place. Overall a good stay and good value.

At last we have found some accommodation on Symi that we would like to return to.

Pros: The location, the views. The instant attention to comments, e.g. leaking kettle. The 10% discount on food and drink from the café attached. The friendly atmosphere created by everyone, especially in the evening. The lack of “street” noise, despite being on the harbour in the middle of the town.

Cons: Bathroom was rather cramped. Internal stairs and steps from the road were a little steep for anyone with mobility or balance problems.

Pros: The house was clean and cozy, and the owner couldn’t be kinder. Thanks a lot!

Nice room in a perfect location to access old town whilst being on quiet streets.

Pros: Perfect location away from the noise of the busy old town main square but close enough to access it easily. A spacious room that was suitably cool in the heat of the summer, and a very comfortable bed.

Cons: The shower had a tendency to make the bathroom very wet and slippery

In general its good.

Pros: The place is amazing, quite cosy. If your stay is just for sleep, its gonna be amazing, if your stay is about amenities, than probably possible get better option. In general its really fine

Cons: Room quite small and quite dark.
