Excellent hotel. Exactly what one is looking for when one wishes quiet, calm, privilege and service. The hotel is helpful with anything and everything and communicates their desire to offer excellent service. And they do! Breakfast is perfect, perfectly made, perfectly served, perfectly timed (they knew when we were ready for breakfast!). Conversation is perfectly balanced between warm, friendly and... More

Carlo and Andy created this fabolous location on the island with every single detail to make you feel special and exquisite. The rooms are comfortable and luxurious, the tasty breakfast is prepared by Carlo and the drinks on the terrace before dinner is breath taking. It was truly a great experience and we will be back as soon as possible!

We spent one week in august for our holiday in this fantastic boutique hotel in Symi. Everything in The old markets is perfect: the location (near the harbour and the taxi boats), the rooms (only four with a suite and completely renovated), the terrace (where you can enjoy your time on sofa beds for an apertif or a dinner). This... More

We stayed at The Old Markets for three days in late June and were delighted with the stay. The owners have intricately renovated the old Jewish Markets into this fantastic hotel - each room takes up the space of two former market shops. We didn't spend too much time in the rooms of course, but the beds were fantastic -... More

We have just returned from a stunning time at The Old Markets. From the time of arrival till we left we were treated like royalty - fantastic room (we were in the Symi Suite - amazing) and fantastic staff. Carlo, Alex and Gabby couldn't have done more for us and made this one of our most memorable holidays. Treat yourself... More

The Old Markets is like no other hotel we have stayed in before, it is an absolute gem. The service was fantastic - whether it be during the very flexible champagne breakfast, the aperitif on the roof terrace in the evening, or during an evening meal which can be enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the harbour - it was consistently...

The Old Markets in Symi's harbour town has been stunningly, creatively and painstakingly converted into a boutique hotel of the highest order. The four bedrooms and one suite are supremely comfortable and luxurious - without losing any of the original features. We stayed for a week and found ourselves treated as guests in a private house rather than a hotel.... More

Stayed as a family at the end of our trip with our two teenage daughters. A newly renovated hotel in the old Jewish Markets in Symi. Beautifully done. Great staff who are extremely friendly and welcoming. We were met off the ferry, and well looked after during our stay. Only five rooms, but incredibly well furnished. Possibly one of the... More

My wife and I are young professionals living between London and Paris and both do a fair amount of client entertainment. As such, we have seen some very good hotels and restaurants in the world. The Old Markets meets every standard that the discerning international traveler would expect to find in an establishment calling itself an Exclusive Boutique Hotel. The... More
