The staff was great. It is close to the port and bus stop. Great cafe 2 minute walk from the hotel. Away from the noise in the main village.

Perfect location. Close to the ferry port and a lot of restaurants. A lot of stairs to come to the city but worth it. Perfect hotel if you are younger and is there for partying!!

The location could not be more perfect. The wonderful family who run the hotel really make this place. It’s been in the family for several generations. It’s not at all luxury - and the rooms are pretty basic but the prices don’t reflect that or mislead you in any way. In terms of the guests, be mindful that they are all generally below age 30 - and are in Ios to party! Some were inconsiderate blasting music in their rooms and talking on speaker phones but none of this is the hotel’s fault.
If you want brilliant Greek hospitality at a good price (yes it’s a budget hotel but run by the most genuine of people, unlike many on Santorini), give this place a try and you’ll have a great time.

We got scared by all of the bad reviews but can’t relate at all! The hotel was clean, the staff lovely, and the pool an absolute lifesaver considering the cold ocean in Ios.

Old hotel noisy in the corridor
Very, very noisy hotel, especially in the corridor between rooms. If you want to sleep at night, don't book here. Hotel for young people only.

Underwhelming for the price. We stayed on 4 different islands during our trip, this was somehow more expensive than Mykonos and Santorini so our hopes were high it'd be great. It's a great location, right by Ios port and beach. The beds were firm and the room air conditioning wasn't great, neither was the bathroom and shower. If I were going back to Ios, I'd look for somewhere else to stay.

If you’re a group of girls AVOID at all costs. One of the staff members who claims to be security enters all the rooms where girls are staying without warning. When we stayed there 3 different groups complained that he just walked into their room while changing clothes and he wouldn’t leave. When told to management they completely ignored it as if it’s normal…it’s extremely unsafe there for women.

I booked this hotel by mistake , thinking it was in Santorini. When I noticed it wasn’t, I advised the hotel was in another island and I would not be able to make it. I booked it non refundable , because I had no thought it was wrong and I would need to cancel. Even with emails, messages and phone calls, the owner did not accept refunding the room or part of . They stayed weeks with no answer so that at the end no compassion whatsover…makes me wonder maybe if I was there, experience would have been as bad since they dont care about customers.

Rapport qualité prix correct, grâce à une grande piscine, à la situation géographique et à la propreté des chambres .
Par contre, le personnel n’est pas très accueillant, le petit déjeuner n’est pas proposé lorsqu’il n’y a pas de grands groupes, on s’est déjà retrouvé sans pouvoir en prendre.
Et il n’y a pas de pression dans la douche.
C’est un hôtel avec énormément de jeunes, du coup il y a du bruit à peu près toute la nuit avec les entrées et sorties et les portes qui claquent.
Enfin, il y a énormément de chats, ce qui nous a beaucoup plu, mais qui devrait être signalé pour les personnes qui en ont peur

Hotel sconsigliatissimo
Il peggior Hotel di sempre! NON PRENOTATE.
Accoglienza pessima, camera sporca, nessuna pulizia giornaliera e lenzuola sporche nonostante abbia chiesto di cambiarle più volte.
Appena arrivata ho cercato un altro Hotel dove soggiornare ma era tutto pieno. I proprietari sono scostumati e poco disponibili.
Frequentato da ragazzi ubriachi che disturbavano a notte inoltrata.

Esperienza pessima
Esperienza pessima, hotel sporchissimo.. appena sono entrAta nella stanza c’era una puzza assurda di fogna nel bagno, e un’unghia sul davanzale del bagno (che non è stata mai tolta) e per di più per farti pulire la stanza devi chiederlo alla reception perché loro altrimenti non la puliscono.. la piscina ha il fondale verde per quanto è sporca..in generale è sporchissimo. Non lo consiglio nemmeno al peggior nemico

I had a great room with amazing views! Seems like it’s being managed by lovely pensioners.
Very close to the port. Only 15mins tough hike to the village.
