Bra sted hyggelig vært
Bjørn, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had an excellent stay at The Windmills in Ios. The location is perfect and within walking distance of Chora, making it easy to explore the town and access everything on foot. The room itself was consistently clean, quiet, and spacious, with a very reasonable price for the quality offered. It was always well-maintained, which made coming back after a day out feel relaxing and comfortable. The highlight of my stay, however, was the manager, George. He was incredibly welcoming and approachable, always ready to provide information about the area and helpful tips for getting around. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, checking in regularly without ever being intrusive. His hospitality truly elevated the experience and made the stay memorable. I would highly recommend The Windmills to anyone visiting Ios.

Clean hotel , in a quiet location

Clean hotel , in a quiet location, close to city center and walkable distance to Mylopotas beach.

6/10 Good

Five days in agoust

La struttura esternamente é moderna, le camere sono piccole però, in due con valigia ci si sta a fatica, consiglio pEr 3 giorni inoltre essendo frequentato da gente giovane ci sono rumori tutta notte e si sente tutto, in pratica lo sconsiglio a coppie che vogliono fare una vacanza tranquilla mentre è ok per giovani single

Great host, clean hotel in main town

My sister and i traveled to Ios alone for 5 days and felt very safe at the Windmills. Our host Pavlos was very nice! He did not hesitate to strike up conversation or help us with directions in Ios. He also knows the best restaurants in town to ask him for recommendations! The hotel is right on the outskirts of the main town Chora so you dont hear the bar crowd at night but everything is in walking distance. Would stay here again!

απόλυτα ικανοποιημένος, όλα καλά

Στο πάνω μέρος της χώρας, δίπλα στους μύλους, απίθανος αέρας και στην καρδιά της διασκέδασης.

staying home with friends

The hotel is well located, confortable, clean and safe, but the best about Windmills is Pavlos, the owner, who is amazingly nice and welcoming, and helps his guests having a true and warmfull experience of the island and the nice people of Ios.

Good diversion

The evaluation is on Village Twins, a nearby hotel where we were diverted by our host. The hotel is ok. Rooms are small but clean. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The manager did not accept credit cards.

10/10 Exceptional

Feels like home. Great rooms and Fantastic Host.

Great hotel top location in the middle of all the hot spots but also quiet at all times. Can easily say this hotel has a warm feel to it the host Pavlos is a gentleman will make you feel at home from the second you walk in. Highly reccomend this hotel to all travellers of all ages.

10/10 Exceptional

Small hotel in the perfect spot

We had a great experience at Pavlos hotel, the owner was welcoming and friendly. The place has everything you need and the wifi is actually super fast. Many places advertise wifi but it will suck, so I was grateful for that. The rooms were clean and cozy. There was a mini fridge as well. 2 minute walk from all the bars, busses, shopping and restaurants. But far enough from them that you don't hear anything at night.

10/10 Exceptional

Ägaren var supertrevlig och hjälpsam! Mycket prisvärt och nära till restauranger osv.

8/10 Very good

Väldigt nöjda

Rummet var bra. Läget var väldigt bra och personalen trevlig. Tar ca. 3 minuter att gå till stadens kärna och ca. 15 minuter att gå till den närmsta stranden Mylopotas (finns även buss).

8/10 Very good

Great location and service

The hotel is situated in the best location! Quite close the the beach (about 15min walk) and right in the centre of town. The hotel manager was great and he gave us great service. The rooms are really small but for one night it was ok. They were super clean though and well air conditioned . Overall we had a good experience .

10/10 Exceptional

A great place to stay

To get there with luggage I would recommend taking a taxi, but otherwise we had no problem walking there and back from the center. There is also a bus that takes you close to the hotel if needed. Great staff, very helpful and nice. Allowed us to store our luggage in the basement even after we checked out. Rooms were clean, AC worked, and also wifi was good. I would recommend it.

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel near Xora

Great hotel at the edge of the main town, Xora (Ios town). Easy walk to all the major clubs in town and a 15 minute walk from a large popular beach.

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect stay

The guy who owns it is super friendly and understanding, as is the receptionist. The hotel is in great condition; clean, good air-conditioning and superb wifi. The rooms are nice and spacious, comfortable beds, nice private bathrooms and the wifi works perfectly in them. The location is really good; it's surroundings are quiet but it is really close to the centre and to lots of bars, shops, and a short walk to the beautiful lookout in Ios. I would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely guest house with extremely friendly hosts

If you are looking for a comfy and spotless room with an unbeatable price located within Chora (the main village on Ios) and an authentic Greek hospitality, look no further than The Windmills. My sister and I spent two nights here and we loved everything, particularly the superbly friendly owner - Pavlos - and his niece, Sharon. The guest house is located near the windmills (close to the theatre) and it's basically 5 minutes walk to everything in the village. We loved the fact that it's close to everything, yet it's far enough from the noise from the bars in the main strip of the village. The room we had was good sized and spotless! Both Pavlos and Sharon were very friendly and we had very nice chats with them on almost everything! Pavlos is an amazing man with many incredible stories to tell - he has come a long way in his life. If I were to return to Ios, The Windmills is definitely where i'd stay.
