Pros:

The room was cosy and comfortable. However, the aircon blows on the bed which is not so good when you are sensitive to cold on the neck

Cons:

Breakfast wasn't great though. I feel for the price we paid, I expected some more variety, better coffee and freshly baked eggs. All over overpriced.

Pros:

Excellent hotel with very friendly staff. Comfortable beds and room. Very clean. Good breakfast. View from the hotel is lovely. Be aware that there are about 130 stairs from port to hotel! We had to climb them 3 or so times a day, and the first day with suitcases, unless you rent a donkey for 20euro.

To avoid if you don’t like stairs !
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

Access extremely difficult, built on a very steep hill , 100 stairs to climb to reach the hotel , + 30 stairs to reach the room , very painful for bad knees .
Isolated from the center of the island from shop and restaurant . The staff was not helpful , sarcastic and arrogant !

Pros:

The views, room amenities, staff helpfulness are all pluses to the Hotel Hydra. When I chose the hotel, I knew it was up a long path with many stairs. However, the views at the hotel and the surrounding sights made the walk worth it.
The signage is good so it is difficult to get lost. The area around the hotel has an historic mansion and the family home of a famous artist. Both were excellent and interesting visits.

Cons:

Nothing not to like. Its not for people who are not fit enough to climb.

One small point, in our room, a small shelf under the bathroom sink would be helpful to place toiletries.
