Samaina Inn

One of the most beautiful stays on the islands. The place is not yet polluted by too many tourists, the hotel is well-kept, clean, with wonderful people. Special thanks to Mrs. Ioanna from the reception desk. Wonderful, warm, nice, smiling, always willing to help and with kind words, it's a pleasure to come back to such people also. If someone is looking for a quiet holiday, relaxation, beautiful views, mountain walks, this is the right place!

Recently stayed at this charming hotel, and I must say, it truly exceeded my expectations. The place has a cozy, intimate vibe, with everything conveniently close by, and the pool area is absolutely fantastic—perfect for hanging out one's leisure time. The hotel staff were incredible—always smiling, eager to help, and even teaching some words in greek, which made my stay even more unique.

The food was generally excellent, with lunches and dinners offering a great variety of local dishes, including seafood. Like any dining experience, some of them were standout, while others were just okay, but that’s pretty normal. My only real gripe is with the breakfast. I had seen reviews on Google and through the travel agency offer mentioning that breakfasts are dull with the same options every day. Unfortunately, this turned out to be true. Some offerings like the scrambled eggs and omelets were dry as bone and there were only two types of vegetables, which was surprising given the wide selection at lunch and dinner.

I also agree with other guests that the cocktails were overly sweet, making them a bit hard to enjoy. And while the travel offer mentioned table tenis, there wasn’t one at the hotel, which was a bit disappointing.

Despite these small issues, my overall experience was fantastic. There were no long ques at the bar, the hotel grounds were lush and green, and the atmosphere was wonderfully peaceful. The location is great too, with Potami Waterfalls, one of the island’s main attractions, and the beach just a short distance away. If heading there, don't hesitate to visit the family-run restaurant upstairs.

All in all, while there were a few minor downsides, my stay was still amazing :)

The hotel is a little old but still looks nice, the service is really nice and the food is fantastic, but cakes really disappointed me because they are frozen and they don’t bake them here. The rooms are a little bit small but nice. The location is pretty good because the sea is right across the street. The sea is pretty nice, but when here’s big wind it of course like every other sea brings all the trash and plants really close to the beach. All the car rentals are really close and few meters from the hotel is a nice souvenir shop where they dont only have souvenirs but also glasses for snorkeling, ice cream and more. What i love about the hotel too is the room service, the rooms are always super clean and all the staff is nice. Another plus of this hotel is the pool, there is an all inclusive bar next to the pool with different kinds of drinks. The only thing i dont like about the hotel is the lifeguard, you can’t jump in the pool and everyone respects it, but some drunk guys were jumping there and the lifeguard just watched and did nothing even when they were splashing on everyone, eventually some other guy had to come and yell at them himself. A really big problem about this hotel is the wifi that doesn’t work everywhere and is really poor. Also the all inclusive bar is really not worth it, they give you a really small drinks, and they dont mix them by themselves it does the machine so it tastes really bad. If you want a nice drink you have to pay for it in the other bar that is not all inclusive. Even with these problems with wifi and drinks i really enjoyed my stay.

Very nice place good service and everything’s good. But the staff in the reception will not let you go if you try to learn Greek. My dad fell in that trap and they said if he didn’t learn it they will come to Denmark and learn danish. To prove if they can learn you can. But it’s a nice place. And jokes aside they are very kind and friendly and ask how your day has been👍

First off the staff is extraordinarily friendly and attentive. Everyone from receptionist to service in the restaurant as well as the cleaning staff were amazing. Rooms are simple yet very clean and have everything one needs.
The food was simple, for an all inclusive offer I found the buffet quite small and not all that great. However if you are not too picky I guess you’ll always find something.
The pool bar (included in all inclusive) offers a lot, if you want something like an Aperol spritz however you‘d need to go to the second bar which will charge you extra.
The location is okay, I would recommend to get a car so you can explore Samos as Karlovasi itself has lots of abandoned buildings and not too much to offer

Very nice hotel, I stayed over for a week and I really liked it, there is a wonderful pool in the middle (1,2m-2,25m) with a kids pool on the side of it (0,6m).
There is a nice little shop with souvenirs on the right side of the lobby.
I really enjoyed sitting inside nearby the bar and listening to the music and having some drinks.

We had a great time here. The staff was always welcoming and helpful. The room was great. Varied buffet with great food. The hotel is starting to feel a little bitt worn out. Karlovasi is not the most exciting town, but still places to see.
