Pros +
- This family run hotel is amazing. They are all very friendly and helpful. Everything is very clean. View is amazing!
- The room was comfortable with a great view. Very friendly and helpful staff
- Good location an easy five minute walk from the port. Bus stop to town is just 100 metres away. Room was clean and comfortable.
Cons -
- Long distance from the main town but still viable via bus and stairs
- No shower curtain or panel, so the bathroom got wet when taking a shower.
- The fact that is on the road that gets busy....Gets noisy even at night. Plus, it's dangerous to walk along this road, too many cars...What I personally find annoying is that at Greek Hotels, there are no shower curtains!The whole bathroom gets wet when one showers...! I mentioned it to the owners. They said that there were curtains but customers don't want them because they get stuck on them while showering...Well, it's normal to happen with a 70x70cm small shower!!! Foe me, that's a problem. Maybe not for the next person

Good location. Close to the port and you can wave the bus down just outside the hotel and go to the town centre.The apartment was cleaned everyday
It was close to the port, and the stairs to walk to the Hora. Also, within 150m there was safe parking. The room had enough space and a lovely balcony with privacy, since there was no building across the street. The room had a water boiler and cups to prepare tea and coffee. If interested, you could get utensils and plates/bowls to prepare breakfast. The price was affordable and a good value.

The breakfast was good and plentiful. More than I could eat. On my last morning there, I had to get an early ferry. They made me a breakfast that morning that I could take on the ferry to eat and drink it. That was very nice and thoughtful. This is a family run hotel and all members were there and helpful. The room was clean. The dad even carried my luggage up the stairs for me. I was within short walking distance of the ferry, bus station, and beach.
I was not in the actual village. I would take the bus up to the village and then walk back down the hill/mountain to the hotel, in the evening. Bus was only 2 euros on way so actually worked out well. The walking path to and from the village. I had no issues/problems with the hotel
Hotel is very close with easy access to the beach and port if travelling by ferry. It's next to the stairs that lead to the main city Chora. We got a sea view room and the view is actually really nice. The room seemed clean. The host lady with great English skills welcomed us upon arrival at the reception desk. There as a kettle in the room - very important as we like to make our own instant food. We were allowed to leave our bags after check-out (but they were placed literally by the open door in the empty reception, anyone from the street could just enter and grab them. I know it's my responsibility to leave bags after check-out, just pointing out this situation).
The fridge was quite loud and making it hard to sleep. Reception desk was usually empty after arrival and there wasn't anyone to ask about some daily stuff. There wasn't a doorhandle tag to indicate no cleaning needed. I think the hotel is a family business - great, but after arrival we couldn't rest and had to leave quickly to get some peace because there was a sweet, but really noisy little girl running up and down the hall all the time. Shower head in the bathroom was severely leaking.
Great location, clean with lots of space.
Very good
We didnt get the terrace from the photos on the reservations.In my opinion th hotel should put pictures of the room and the terrace you will get when you arrive. Apart from that the hotel and the staff were nice and the room clean.
The hotel is beautiful and homey at the same time. The family that owns it is wonderful, helpful and very welcoming. The rooms are adorably furnished and the terrace comes with a string to dry your clothes which is such a nice thought. Cleaning is done every day and the rooms are impeccable. Had such a wonderful stay and we really can't wait to come back.
I can't complain about anything, especially considering the price.
Great location close to the port and main local buses to travel the island. Very lovely welcoming and homemade breakfast, it felt as I was a kid again!
Great position 5 min to port, 5 min to beach and 15 min walkto chora. Nice views. Friendly, helpful staff
It was absolutely spotless and the view was amazing to watch boats and the sunset. Also very generous size balcony!
Nice location with an amazing balcony. Staff incredibly kind
Bathroom is a bit small

The property manager was really caring and welcoming. Good location near the port and main facilities. The cleaning room service was also good.Everything was wonderful. We would repeat.
Staff was nice, liked how there was a menu for snack items during our stay, the owner was really responsive to messages sent.
Great hosts and view
Ac broke and they couldn’t change our room until the next day. The daughter was kind but the mother was a bit sneaky.
