When I was on Patmos, I stayed at the small en-suite rooms operated by the owners of Hotel Hellenis. The place is right next to the hotel itself, is brand new, clean and has everything one needs for a short stay on the island. The owners are friendly and they also have several self-catering units for rent.
In total there are four apartments, each unit has a double bed, shower/toilet attached, 24 hours hot water, air-conditioning, refrigerator in room, TV, kettle for making tea and coffee, as well as table and chairs for occupants of each unit on the patio outside the rooms. The patio is a common area shared by all occupants.
The whole house is painted in the tradmark Greek white-and-blue colours, with the exception of the chairs.
The beach is just a short walk away from the rooms. Restaurants and corner shops are available within walking distance (5-10minutes' walk) along the scenic harbour, which also has a good view of the impressive Monastery of St. John's on top of the hill.
If you arrive by ferry from Samos or Kalymnos/Kos/Leros/Rhodes, usually the owners of Hotel Hellenis will wait at the harbour upon arrival of the ferry and offer free shuttle to the apartments. The hotel/apartment/self-catering units are open all year.
