Superb family mansion renovated for tourism

No complaints simply exquisite

Amazing location!

We were really looking forward to our stay, especially given the premium price point, naturally, we expected a high standard of service. While the property itself has great potential, unfortunately the experience was let down by consistently poor service, which in my view makes all the difference. Our ground-floor room lacked any sort of view, which was fine, but it was also missing several basic comforts that would have made the space feel more welcoming, no full-length mirror, a broken toilet flusher top, and no table or chair to sit and work or do makeup. Staff presence was minimal, both in person and via WhatsApp, where responses were slow and unhelpful. Breakfast had the potential to be a highlight with its beautiful terrace views, but it consistently missed the mark — from missing plates and cups to an out-of-service cappuccino machine and no one around to take requests. On the day of checkout, reception wasn’t even staffed at 10:30 AM. All in all, I wouldn’t return or recommend this property. There are better options available at this price point that deliver both service and experience.

Excellent property

Breakfast staff were not very helpful, lady on morning of Friday 27th September should not be in that role in our view.

A beautiful little hotel that has captured its history with original wood walls, antiques throughout and yet updated for modern comfort. Also the breakfast was plentiful and good.

My only complaint is that the door to our room was tough to handle, especially with weakened 'old' hands. But by the end of our stay, I think I finally figured out how to work the lock and door handle.

Beautiful building that has been sensitively renovated. Nice breakfast, very quiet, no street noise.

The steps up to reception. A sign saying leave your luggage at the street level would avoid unnecessary handling.

Beautifully decorated, intimate and cosy with all modern cons - absolute heaven and I slept so well! I’ve been to Hydra a number of times and this is now by far my preferred place to stay.

Nothing at all, it really is a gem!

Nice location- gentle slope from port - big room - exceptionally good quality bedding and towels- very friendly manager/owner

I didn’t like not having any outside space to room- however this was my choice as other rooms that had outside space were on 2 floors. breakfast wasn’t to my taste as a lot of sweet stuff- to be honest though I find this in most Greek hotels - so more a taste thing on my part

The atmosphere, the breakfast, Giannis who went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one.

We’ve been coming for a few years now and it feels like home, but the hotel is a bit outdated and needs a little renovation

The hotel is beautiful. There are so many antiques decorating the building. Breakfast was amazing every morning. The staff could not have been friendlier. The walk to the hotel did not have stairs you just had to be careful walking on the stone road.

It was a hike up the road, but by the third day it wasn't so bad.

The heritage of the building and the sympathetic renovations.

The breakfast was ordinary compared to the many other places we stayed. The eggs were watery, the coffee was lukewarm and when the staff were asked if they could warm it, it seemed like too much trouble.
