Fantastisch verblijf op Ios
Pros:

Prachtig uitzicht, heerlijk zwembad, hele lieve , behulpzame staf, fantastisch ontbijt, prima kamer met eigen terrasje

Cons:

Je moet er rekening mee houden dat de weg sterk stijgt vanuit dorp. Maar dan heb je in hotel rust en geen lawaai uit dorp

Great accomodation. Superb sunset views.
Pros:

Solo Traveller. Room was clean (and cleaned daily to high standard). Fridge, kettle and cups/glasses. Plenty of hot water in shower. Price very competitive. Friendly and welcoming reception.
But,and there is a but, the view at sunset over the Chora and islands comes at the price of 235 strides up the hill to the hotel ( Sad but I counted) but what a memorable view. That view alone should sell this place to you. If you cannot walk it take a taxi or I think they will even pick you up from the ferry.
For my stay here, a sincere, Thank You.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

Great hospitality
Pros:

The place was only a few minutes to the city center. The facility was so beautiful. The view from our balcony was breathtaking. We got picked up from the port and communication was great. Breakfast was provided and it was filling and delicious. Will come back and stay longer next time.

Als Alleinreisender war ich mit Lage, Komfort und Service sehr zufrieden.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt steil oben am Berg, daher war der Ausblick außerordentlich gut, das Frühstück wurde bis ans Zimmer gebracht.

Cosy, polite and kind staff, majestic view
Pros:

I liked the view, it was nice during all the day and every weather. I enjoyed sitting outside in the balcony and relaxing.
Also the owner and all the staff were so helpful and kind for every claim that I had. I would definitely come back again to that property, without second thought.

Pros:

The welcoming owner was friendly and available. As for the breakfast that was served in the room it was basic with boiled eggs, toasted bread with butter and marmelade, juice, coffee and sliced fruits which was still enough to start the day. The location is conveniently located on the hill with views towards the chora of Ios and in walking distance to it. Tranquil to enjoy quite time on the verandah with view of the sun setting.

Ωραία διαμονή με ανεκτίμητη θέα!
Pros:

Πολύ καθαρό, φωτεινό κι άνετο δωμάτιο με παράθυρο και μπαλκόνι που έχουν πανοραμική θέα προς τη χώρα! Είναι μαγευτική η θέα κάθε στιγμή της ημέρας με αποκορύφωμα το ηλιοβασίλεμα! Πολύ καλό πρωινό. Η τοποθεσία του καταλύματος είναι σε κοντινή απόσταση από τη χώρα & σημεία ενδιαφέροντος. Ευγενικός, εξυπηρετικός και πρόθυμος ο οικοδεσπότης! Ευχαριστούμε για την όμορφη διαμονή!

Hotel z pięknym widokiem i pomocnym personelem.
Pros:

Hotel jest położony na wzgórzu z wspaniałym widokiem na Chore. Przy basenie jest bar, gdzie serwują drinki i jedzenie. Blisko do centrum, na plażę z górki (warto wrócić taxi). Pokój wystarczający dla 4 osób. Świetny i pomocny personel, bez problemu z komunikacja. Dobre śniadania.
