This was by the worst place ive stayed the owner is the lowest rudest obnoxious discracful human in the planet. Caught his twice breaking into room he abused me for drying my shirt on my balcony. He glad raps everything such as the cooler control so you can’t adjust the temp he abused me because I had wet towel in the bathroom then he kicked us out we had no idea why. By far the worst experience I’ve had. Never ever stay here

Awesome hotel near the port. Owners are extremely nice and welcoming. They go out of their way to accommodate your every need. Walk to the town is around 15 minutes of very steep stairs.

The owners of the property are lovely! We really enjoyed our 4 night stay. The property is only 60m from the beach, 500m walk into the main port and easy bus access to Chora or Mylopotas beach. Rooms are simple but very clean. Thank you so much for making our stay wonderful!

Highly recommended
Amazing place to stay. A short 5-10 minute walk from the port. We had a sea view room which was great to wake up to every morning and sit watching the sun set in the evening from the balcony. The hosts were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Ios is relatively unspoilt in spite of having a reputation of a party island. There are lots of practically uninhabited beaches and the beach near Helena was still very quiet. there is of course Myoplatas beach for the party animals. Lots of nice tavernas a short walk from the hotel if you dont want to go up to Chora. We will definitely be back to visit again.

Great stay in IOS
Perfect location walking distance to the port. Hotel is managed and owned by a local couple who take care of all the guests. Basic clean rooms serviced every day. Beach is very close but I went to Mylopotas Beach via bus each day as Far Out Beach club is there for all the daytime action. There are restaurants, bakeries, shops, and a convenience store within walking distance. The town is close, but uphill via steps or the bus which is convenient and comes by every 25 minutes or so. I usually walked from town down the steps with no problem. This is a great hotel for a home base in IOS. I highly recommend staying here.
