Reviews of Ikaros Star Hotel 2 stars

- Best hotel in Ikaria Super nice owners, great breakfast. Good rooms and amazing view from balcony with ocean view. Second time here and absolutely loved it. Will come back

Great location Great breakfast Super friendly, kind, and helpful staff

The rooms were a bit old and there was a smell in the bathroom after showering

Beautiful View and Peaceful Location We loved the peaceful location and the stunning view. The central location made it easy to explore both the northern coast and inland villages. And thanks to its forested hillside setting, the hotel stays pleasantly cool in the mornings and evenings — a big plus in summer. Thanks for the stay!

The hotel is perched on a hill, so be prepared for a steep 10-minute walk if you’re coming without a car — it can be challenging in the summer heat. If breakfast is important to you, note that it was a bit underwhelming. There weren’t many fresh items like greens or tomatoes, which we normally expect. One issue we had was with privacy. Despite the “Do Not Disturb” sign on our door, housekeeping entered the room and changed the sheets. While this was done with good intentions, it didn’t align with our expectations. If you’re particular about privacy, it’s worth discussing this at check-in.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and tidy. Beautiful nature. Excellent

Liked the location and overall cleanliness… although it is quite far from the airport and taxi is $140 in one way only.

Breakfast was mainly carb saturated and sweet… for vegan eaters there was just coffee bread jam… no fresh fruit at all and no vegetables… just eggs ham cheese honey and sweet baked goods… sweet cereals and milk/yogurt…. No plant based milk at all. That should be improved.

The hotel was like an ‘oasis’ on a top of a hill, and still within walking distance to some beaches and to Gialiskari, the nearest ‘village’. (during the day in the boiling sunshine I wouldn’t attempt the walk back as its uphill) The rooms were clean and spacious enough with very comfortable beds, and the ones facing the sea came with a stunning, panoramic view. Breakfast was good, staff helpful, and the atmosphere generally very relaxing. Even during the heat wave there was always freshness and usually a breeze. We will be back.

Parking was a bit strenuous sometimes when the hotel was full and it took some manoeuvring to get the car in and out. The owner plans to build more parking spaces soon so it should be solved.

Everything. The people in this hotel are amazing. Food is great.

I will definitely come back again.

Stuff was very kind, helpful with anything you may need. Do not hesitate to ask them. Location is very good. Access to one of the best beaches in Ikaria within 10min walking time. Restaurants and mini markets nearby as well. We advise visiting in months such as May/June when it is not too busy.

We booked room with balcony and view to the mountains-better to say olives trees, but also was included big terace shared with another two rooms with a view to the sea and wonderful sunsets!!! Room smelled nice and was cleaned everyday. Self-service beakfast simple: hot drinks, water, orange juice, greek youghurt, olives, ham, cheese, boiled eggs, bread and some cookies. Besides! Drinking water from the tap! Recomend: *friendly hotel stuff; *good location; *the beach 5minutes walk; *ony 2stars, but it could be 3! Thank you Ikaros Star hotel 🩵

Not enough parking space for all travelers cars. Breakfast menu the same all week, and any fresh fruits or vegetables, so hard for vegetarians or vegan people.

A wonderful hotel with nice people running it.

Nothing, really

The hotel was great and I will definitely will be back ! Clean, comfortable, beautiful view from the balcony, good breakfast and a 10 minute walk to a messakti beach which is very convenient ! The owner, Mr.Zaxarias and Eleni where very kind and made me feel like home. As I had arrived late for my check in he offered to take me to and back from the restaurant by car as there was an uphill even though it was very close by. The next morning he prepared breakfast for me at 5:30am as I was there for work and had to leave very early. Thank you very much and hope to be back soon.

everything was great !

The hotel was peaceful and silent, the beach is 10 minutes walk and in our opinion it is the best beach in the island (Mesakti Beach). The staff was very kind and helpful, they helped and gave us good advice, eg.: which way is the best to visit tourist attractions or hidden places. The room was very clean, and they provided good breakfast every day. Thank you!

The fridge in the room was a bit noisy, and we felt the bed a bit hard, maybe because we usually sleep on soft matress, but we got used to it.

Lovely, traditional hotel with friendly, helpful and wonderful staff. Genuinely welcoming and kind people. Room was clean, quiet, comfortable, well-equipped and serviced every day. We stayed in a Mountain View room but there was a good shared balcony to use which overlooked the sea. Breakfast was buffet style and a lovely occasion as you could sit out on the terrace. Short walk to local shops, cafes and restaurants and Mesakti beach. Quiet, peaceful place. Excellent value for money too.

Nothing - all great.

The hotel is in a good location in Gialiskari. Room was clean and breakfast was abundant. Mr Zaharias and his wife made sure that we had everything we need. They clearly gave insitructions on how to navigate Ikaria and its roads and educated us on the history of the island and its citizens. They sent us to great locations for food, festivals and hidden beaches.

parking was a bit hard especially because the hotel is on an uphill, but is pretty standard on an island like Ikaria.

The breakfast met expectations. The staff was helpful and very pleasant. The parking situation is kind of a mess and I just ended up parking on the street because it was easier for me. There was an option to have our clothes washed too.

The parking situation first and foremost. No elevator too was difficult to ferry all of the luggage to the third floor. A bellhop or someone to bring the luggage to our room would have made my life easier. The cost to have clothes washed was a king’s ransom (€15 flat fee)

Good location nearby everywhere you need to be in Ikaria: by car 10 minutes to Mesakti Beach and 20 min from Raches. You need a car because the hotel is located on a hill. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We paid 60 euro per night which is a cheap price.

Chemical hotel breakfast, beds were rock hard.
