The location, the view

This property (and certainly the rooms facing the port) has a very big problem: it is certainly NOT quiet! On the contrary there is a very significant noise problem as it is next to a music club that stays open until something like 5 o'clock in the morning!! The management is well aware of the problem and should warn customers accordingly but for obvious reasons told me that they will not do so. I certainly did not appreciate at all spending more than 300 euros per night and being unable to sleep for 3 nights!

Η τοποθεσία που ήταν πάνω στο λιμάνι .

Δυστυχώς δεν ήταν καθόλου καλή η επικοινωνία με το κατάλυμα , πολύ βρώμικη και ασαφής είσοδος για το σπίτι , έλλειψη επαρκής θέρμανσης και παροχών που έγραφε ότι προσφέρει . Η διαμονή μας έγινε σε περίοδο που δεν είναι τουριστική ωστόσο ενώ η τιμή του δωματίου ήταν υψηλή , δεν αντεπεξήλθε σε αυτό που αναμέναμε. Καμία υποδοχή , αλλαγή του δωματίου που στην τύχη βρήκαμε ψάχνοντας το , ζητήθηκε να πληρώσουμε ενώ είχαμε εξοφλήσει ήδη , είχε ένα ζευγάρι από παντόφλες ενώ ήμασταν δυο , οι κάψουλες καφέ ήταν για άλλη συσκευή καφέ από αυτή που είχαν , το κλιματιστικό δεν ζέσταινε επαρκώς το δωμάτιο και στην είσοδο είχε πολύ απότομα και επικίνδυνα σκαλιά χωρίς ένα σκέπαστρο με αποτέλεσμα σε κάθε βήμα να υπάρχει κίνδυνος κουτσουλιάς από περιστέρια . Τέλος, το πρωί μέρος του προσωπικού του ξενοδοχείου , έκανε φασαρία και φώναζε έξω από το δωμάτιο μας . Κρίμα γιατί έχει προοπτικές και το νησί είναι υπέροχο .

The young lady serving breakfast is their best asset. Not sure ‘like’ is the word we’d use but there is a communal kitchen if you want to make a cup of tea or coffee & it was very clean.

The room is dormitory like, the bed is very uncomfortable, hard & lumpy. The room we had (we probably had the worst one) had a window that looked straight into the window of the place next door so don’t think ‘view’, it’s not. The photos online have flowers, a painting & fruit in a bowl, take all that dressing out & you have just 2 single beds shoved together, an old wardrobe, 2 side tables & lamps. The hand held shower is not attached to the wall, anywhere, (apparently the wall had been retiled & perhaps just haven’t got around to it before renting it out!) there is no shower door or curtain & it’s so small I’m not sure how they’d ever solve the water spraying out onto the floor anyway. There was rarely anyone at the reception desk. So many stairs, they mention 35, there’s a lot more, there are two entrances, both have very steep stairs, some handrails & to go to breakfast more stajrs. Don’t even think about staying here if you don’t want to climb. I asked if someone could help with one suitcase & was told the man who could help was not on the island, and it was too dangerous for the only other person there. Too dangerous for staff but ok for a paying guest? Overpriced for what is a very basic room. I think it was room 3 but definitely not going back to find out.

Réservation pour le 13 et 14 septembre. 13 septembre grève nationale de tous les marins grecs . Impossible d’arriver à Hydra . Aucune négociation possible avec la réception, ni report sur un jour suivant , hôtel complet. 300€ perdu . Le lendemain 14 sept à notre arrivée vers 10:00 , on a pu constater que l’hôtel était plein . Notre chambre annulée avait été relouée. Scandaleux. D’autre part 38 marches depuis le quai pour accéder à l’hôtel . Escalier très étroit et escarpé. Signalé nulle part . Personne pour porter les valises . La réception, une seule jeune fille, fait appel par téléphone à une bonne volonté moyennant attente et 10€ . Inadmissible. Bref hôtel mal géré et malhonnête. Nous avons passé la nuit suivante à l’hôtel Hydroussa, charmant et parfait . Une chance , il restait une chambre libre .

Location was great, just beside the main port. Breakfast delicious. Good service from a very busy waitress. Staff went above and beyond to get us there despite the ferry strikes.

very friendly and supportive manager who provides all the information needed about beaches, restaurants etc. on the island, convenient location in Hydra town, everything within walking distance, great view from the rooftop terrace where a lovely individual a la carte breakfast is served every morning

The location

The stairs were more than I anticipated and have an older person with me the stairs were a challenge for them.

The hotel is located in the port area. Our room had an awesome view of the port. There was also a rooftop area where we had breakfast. The breakfast was great and the view from there was amazing. I believe the rooftop area could be accessed during the day. We were only on Hydra overnight so we were not able take advantage of that. Next time we will definitely stay more than 1 night. The staff was also very helpful with beach and restaurant recommendations.

Just like most places in Greece, there were numerous steps to climb to enter the hotel.
