🌍
Greece, Ios Chora, Ios Town
● Center: 1.3 km

The family-run hotel provides genuine Greek hospitality and friendly staff. The swimming pool is spacious, well-maintained, and a popular spot for guests. Close proximity to the ferry port and bus stop facilitates easy transport connections. Good value for money with clean rooms and air conditioning despite basic facilities. Rooms are basic and sometimes reported with cleanliness issues including dust and insects. Thin walls lead to noise disturbances especially at night, affecting sleep quality. Some guests reported safety concerns with staff entering rooms without warning. The location is not ideal for those wanting to be in the central village nightlife area.

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.
26.07.2025 RainingFace
in summer high season, it was not worth the price but it was cheapest option for duoble bed with swimming pool.
it is near port and far from city center. not good location if you want to hangout.
23.07.2025 Natalie
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.
14.07.2025 Guest
The location was good halfway between the port and village and budget friendly. The pool area was nice but the rooms were poor. Dust everywhere, cockroaches, insects and VERY VERY loud. From 1am through until 9am you can hear literally everything. We had hardly any sleep staying here. Cleaners will unlock your room and walk in early in the morning and are very loud too. The walls are paper thin so you can hear everything. At least 50 cats that stay here and are all over the hotel. But staff were lovely.
05.07.2025 Guest
Unbelievable service especially the barman - looks like a Viking and makes the best drinks - lovely people. Pretty good food for the price, nice variety and good tasting. Would definitely recommend for friends, great pool to

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.
18.08.2024 Gaash
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.
11.07.2024 Abi
The staff here were incredible, rooms are so clean and, great views and vibes by the pool and 10 min walk into village centre and 5 mins to/from the port with heaps of dining options. Highly recommend and also amazing price
21.06.2024 Guest
Lovely hotel, friendly ,helpful staff. My son and his friends had a fantastic holiday. Hotel rooms clean with bed linen changes and air con. There was also a fridge in the room. The swimming pool was huge. It was located very near the ferry port and a short walk up hill to the main strip. Would highly recommend
