Pros:

Beautiful boutique hotel in Hydra Town. Just blocks from the ferry docks. Small property, only a few rooms, excellent housekeeping. And a homemade breakfast that was huge, varied tremendously from day to day, multiple dishes, and NOT a buffet. From pastries to fruit, eggs, coffee, custard…so glad we opted to eat there instead of going to a restaurant. Fantastic place, would go back in a heartbeat.

Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel on a perfect island. The hotel is charming and has lovely balconies and meeting areas with fresh flowers everywhere. One can hike uphill to the rural villages along paths with wildflowers in abundance. It is an easy downhill walk to shopping, seaside restaurants and beaches. Great breakfast, friendly and helpful owner.

Pros:

Nice spacious room at the bottom of the hill and close to where the ferry docks.
Easy walk to everywhere except the Monastery at the top of Mt Eros which isn’t an easy walk from anywhere!
Hilda was very helpful

Pros:

The Phaedra Hotel is lovely. It is close enough to the port, dining, shopping, etc to walk back and forth many times a day with ease. The noise here consists mainly of roosters, donkeys, and church bells- all pleasant. The breakfast includes more than enough food, much of it home baked. I would be delighted to return.

Pros:

Perfectly located close to port, many surrounding tavernas, swimming options, part of the Hydra magic.

Hilda, the owner is an outstanding hostess. She made sure we were totally comfortable and gave us great recommendations. The continental breakfasts on the terrace were great. The Phaedra Hotel was endorsed by Rick Steves for good reason.

No doubt, we will return. We now have a friend in Hydra - Hilda!

Great Stay in Hydra
Pros:

Our stay at the Phaedra hotel was amazing. Even though we were there during the winter months, the island is beautiful and very relaxing. Our room was very large, clean, in a great location, and the owner, Hilda, was extremely helpful and accommodating. The room even had a kitchenette. Definitely recommend staying here.

A very elegant and comfortable B&B.
Pros:

We stayed for just one night in early January. The hotel is a beautiful, impeccably maintained house not far from the harbour in this gorgeous white town. Our ‘studio’ room was in fact large and well-appointed. The proprietor, Hilda, was very helpful and friendly, and provided us with a very good breakfast. For warmer seasons there is an attractive outdoor terrace.
