Great Location!
This was the first stop on our Greece trip and it was a great first stop! Reception was so friendly and always provided great local insight. It was also awesome that they provided towels for us.The hotel restaurant and breakfast were so tasty! We last minute wanted to do an ATV for a day and reception called several different places and found us an available one! This hotel was in a great location close to Ornos beach!

We were quite disappointed with our stay in Mykonos Essence. The room we were in was dark and facilities in the room were sparse E.g. no kettle or coffee making facilities. There was a half eaten ice cream tub in our freezer compartment from a previous guest. Cleaning was not up to scratch. The pool area looks over the car park so the view is not great.

Amazing, this hotel saved us
We experienced a VERY tragic air bnb experience when we got to mykonos. It was awful and we basically fled in the middle of the night. I booked our stay at Essence and within 10 minutes, Lamdrini the receptionist got us a transfer and he was there in two minutes. Since then, Lamdrini was our savior. She was the kindest, most knowledgeable, positive, wonderful ray of sunshine and catered to our EVERY need. We cannot say enough good things about her. This woman needs a raise. She truly went above and beyond for us every day. The hotel experience was incredible. Rooms were clean, comfortable. Shower was awesome. Wifi was A+. The location of this hotel could not be any better- short walk to food and the beach and bus stop. If we ever return to mykonos we will stay here hands down.

The reception staff were fantastic and gave us lots of good suggestions for what to do during our stay. They even organized a rental car to be dropped off at the hotel. Buffet breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety. The location is a 3-5 minute walk from the beach with plenty of great restaurants nearby.

Loved it!
We really enjoyed our stay here for a friends' trip. The location is very central in Ornos, and easily accessible to Mykonos town by bus or taxi. The staff was also incredible and very friendly! I only wish the airport transfer was free and some of the transportation was included. Otherwise, no complaints. We loved it!

Disappointing for a 4 star
Disappointing.... I was only resident in the hotel for two of the five nights I had pre paid for.. due to the weather I was unable to reach the island for the first 3 nights... .the price charged was non refundable Which I except but sadly I feel that the hotel missed a chance to ensure my two days were made extra special ... at no point was I offered a good Will gesture..... (a friend who was in the same situation was given a full refund even though again he had pre paid on a non refundable price) apart from the above I had paid for a superior room but apart from a larger balcony I would say the room was no more special.... the sun chairs were discoloured and looked dirty, the maintenance of the room was poor... telephone point was hanging out of the wall, the wall had dirty marks. For a four star hotel I would expect more. I raised my concern to the hotel manager and showed him photos of which I had taken but he refused to agree with my complaint and failed to deal with the points I had raised. The only plus points I can comment on was the staff were friendly and the breakfast was good. But overall I was disappointed and I will not return or recommend this hotel

Very kind staff! Sites on top of a hill- short walk to beach and lots of food choices. Arrange for transportation from port if going in busy season (Aug for sure). Really enjoyed our stay! Try the day of sailing excursion- highlight of our trip and can be arranges with front desk.

Nice hotel, great staff
I enjoyed my stay at the Mykonos Essence. It's a nice hotel, in a relatively quiet area of town away from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist areas but fairly close because Mykonos town is just 10 mns away by bus. The rooms are comfortable, with a very nice 2-level patio where one can relax in the evening and quietly enjoy the cool breeze. Most importantly, the staff is really nice. Especial mention of front desk staff Nikki, a beautiful and absolutely amazing Greek girl who makes you feel at home from the moment you check it. When I arrived and she learned I'd just disembarked from the ferry, she excused herself for a couple of minutes and walked to the back room. I thought she was taking care of some paperwork but she came back with a fantastic, cold, refreshing glass of fresh juice with fruits and lemons that she offered me whilst checking me in. She offered lots of tips of things to do around Mykonos and, throughout my entire 2-day stay, she was responsive to every need and always eager to help out. She's absolutely terrific and one of the best and most pleasant customer service staff I have ever met although I have visited a large number of hotels across all the continents. Nikki: ευχαριστώ.

Highly recommend for Ornos area!
We had a lovely stay at the Essence hotel. Our room was clean, had everything we needed and we loved the balcony. Breakfast was basic but okay. The pool was lovely, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to the beach, but there is a steep hill to walk up and down. Overall if you are looking at staying in the Ornos area I would highly recommend. The bus to travel into Mykonos town is just by the beach and is only €1.80 per person. There is also a bakery down by the beach that sell the yummiest sandwiches :)

Nice hotel with good pool, unfortunatly the sun bed cushions were grubby. Our room was fine apart from a very dirty floor. It was only when i got in the shower my feet left dirty marks in the bath. We wore the slippers provided and after a few minutes the soles were grubby. The bathroom ceiling was covered in condensation and moldy bits around the sink. On the plus side the breakfast was excellent.

We loved our recent stay! Extremely easy walk to Ornos beach, which is a lovely beach for a relaxing day. For more exploring, the local bus stops frequently at the beach and will take you to Mykonos Town, where you can catch buses to other locations. Ornos itself doesn’t have much to do, but that worked okay for us because we wanted something low key. The hotel offers a really nice complimentary breakfast, is clean, and had a nice room with comfortable bed.
