If you love banging music coming through the wall at 4am, this hotel is for you.
We were given the duplex suite to the left of the bar (and music system). We recorded 87 decibels through the wall at all hours after midnight.
This hotel is open to all residents on the island and stays open later than anywhere else, therefore attracts lots and lots of party goers.
Can’t say anything negative about the hotel other than we had 10 nights of hell.
Manager refused to move us but said we could swap rooms with our grown up children as they probably wouldn’t mind the noise!
TUI were an absolute joke and refused to intervene but offered us £75 for any inconvenience. Absolute nightmare holiday.

Origin absolutely made our holiday. It's a small hotel. All the staff are amazing - they made an effort to learn our names, made a fuss of our (severely affected by learning difficulties) daughter to make her feel welcome. Our rooms were basic but clean. The small pool was always clean, and contrary to another review, you do not need to pay for sunbeds or air conditioning. The bar is always open and can be noisy in the evenings and into the early hours but it didn't keep me awake. Kardamena is a lovely little resort, this hotel is positioned to have easy access to it all. Would highly recommend to anyone that doesn't mind the noise from the bar.

if you are looking for a quiet hotel AVOID! The rooms were ok at best, the shower was not great.
Upon arrival we were greeted by an almost naked girl who offered us a shot of god knows what. you could hear the thumping loud music 24 hrs a day. 50 euros for the air conditioning, 50 euros for a safe you can open with a potato ( watch it on youtube in not joking) 25 euros to use a sun lounger next to the pool a day! The owner was rude and nasty. absolutely no need to be that way in front of people who pay good money. Thankfully we found much nicer places to go on the island and only had to stay there to sleep. Kos itself is a beautiful place, Origins hotel sadly isn't. Far from it. If the owner was a nice person it would have been a higher rating. When we were there someone obviously thumped him as he had a corker of a black eye half way through our holiday. Pity, it had such potential. The lad who ran the nights was fantastic a true gentleman. The owner should take a leaf out of his book. We will be visiting kos again but we wont be staying at origins.

Staff are all freindly and can accommodate to disabilities or special needs (which was brilliant for my sister), the food and bar are brilliant, the pool is very clean and almost allways has the sun on it, the music from the bar can get loud especially with karyoke however after the first night it doesnt bother you at all. Definitely will go back in a few years.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit!
The staff here are 10/10 and will help with any issues, I loved talking to Lucy, George and Marcos (I think 😅). I had 1 issue on the first night with some bugs (I did visit in bug season) but I was relocated to another room within 10 minutes. The rooms are clean, have a small kitchen area containing a fridge, sink and cutlery.
I was located in a room at the front of the hotel, above the bar. You can hear the music from the bar in the room but it’s bearable (the ac drowns it out) and gets quieter around 1am ish.
The food is not the greatest, but there is a lot of places to eat within a 5 min walk. The drinks at the bar are 10/10, no question about it! Just note the bar workers may put a bit more liqueur in your drinks -which isn’t a bad thing at all!
All said, I loved my trip and will definitely consider origin hotel again if I return to Kos!
