Hotel Aktaion Syros

Full marks and bravo to owners and staff of Aktaion hotel! Location was superb right on the waterfront of Ermoupolis many rooms enjoy unlimited sea views of bay and the hills above making it a postcard perfect location. This is a very historic aristocratic mansion kept in excellent condition a perfect blend of traditional style with modern facilities and comforts. Professional staff very knowledgeable with spot on recommendations for sightseeing restaurants and more, truly every advise was with no doubt excellent!Breakfast was very generous, very tasty large portions and great variety of choices. Excellent location service and atmosphere will be back for sure!The top shared balcony is postcard perfect !Thank you Aktaion hotel for a perfect stay !

One of the best hotels we've booked in ages. Amazing romantic historic and cool room with an awesome view.

Very nice hotel in the centre of the city and in the front of the harbour. It is an old traditional Syros stone house which has been renovated. The hotel staff are very friendly, polite and willing to help you. The rooms are nice and clean with beautiful view at the sea. Hotel location is excellent. Highly recommended!!!

Cute room, beautiful view, homemade breakfast, good location, no noise. Wonderful!

The floor is old and the bed is small.

very close to the port and city center. Breakfast was delicious.

the shower only had a hand held that you had to hold while you showered. Nowhere it clicked onto

The room , the Breakfast , the politeness of employees

Super friendly service, the hosts were catering to any possible needs. Breakfast was amazing, location of the Hotel was also excellent - walking distance to the city center and the port, while rooms were still quiet.

Maria, Dimitri, Thodoros, Alexandra, and Panos, were all fantastic. They treated us like family and we could not have had a better stay in a more beautiful place. We will definitely come back.

From the moment we arrived from the Blue Star Ferry, our group of 11 family and friends were treated to the best level of hospitality. This family-owned and staffed hotel met all of our needs. Centrally located along the port, with many shops and restaurants throughout Ermoupoli within easy walking distance. While our guest rooms were upstairs, staff swiftly carried our luggage up to each of our 7 rooms. We did have a group member with an injured back who was placed in a room with the least amount of steps. The beautifully restored building was well-furnished in both the public areas as well as individual guest rooms. Our triple room looked out over the taverna below, and the port of Ermoupoli, Syros. While the taverna had patrons into the evening, the double-pane windows kept our room quiet. Room a/c worked well to keeps a comfortable temperature, too. On the uppermost floor, there is a large living room with a couches and upholstered chairs arranged throughout. A small balcony leads off this common area. We enjoyed meeting together with others in this area. Breakfast was served from 8:00 - 10:30 am daily. Freshly squeezed orange juice started my day. Greek yogurt drizzled with Greek honey and walnuts was also a highly anticipated morning treat. Eggs, croissants, cereal, fresh fruit, toast and jam, and coffee/tea rounds out the offerings. Make sure you don't skip it. I cannot rave enough about the fantastic staff at the Aktaion Hotel! Every person we interacted with was kind, helpful, and helped exceed all of our group's needs.

Perfect location, amazing breakfast and very friendly & helpful staff! :)

Lovely old hotel on the waterfront 15 minutes walk from the ferry terminal. The breakfast and staff were excellent. Perfectly placed for restaurants too.

The bathroom was tiny with only a hand held shower.

This is a beautiful yet unusual property. The staff are absolutely incredible. They are very inviting and most helpful and accommodating. We arrived around 9pm and after arriving at the property we were greeted by a very kind and enthusiastic host.

We booked a room with a larger bed for my husband and I, and our two little ones who are 3y and 1y. The door to our room was on the small side, so there is no walking in the room directly, especially if youre holding a bag, or a baby, but we made it work. In our room there was no place to fit a crib or playpen so all 4 of us smushed into the bed. It was cozy but a bit uncomfortable.

Excellent staff, excellent breakfast, excellent location I would choose them again next time

Excellent staff & service, delicious breakfast, great location, and memorable view of the port and the Syros.

Great breakfast, great view, very kind staff and a spacious shower.

Lacking light for the shower in the evening

The location is great and the host was great. Also the people making the breakfast were very nice and considerate

It is quite small

Ive stayed at Aktaion years ago and this time I had the chance to stay again. It was great just like I remember. My room had a wonderful view, it was spacious and spotless clean. Staff was very kind and the breakfast was great. In the room the a/c and wifi worked fine.

Nothing at all

Friendly, helpful staff. The cleaner did a very thorough job and deserved a good tip. Breakfast varied and plentiful. Room very comfortable. We were initially disappointed not to be able to book a sea view room, but on reflection our rear room was quieter and did not have the fierce afternoon sun. Everyone mentions the stairs - but they are a feature! I have a very arthritic knee and walk with a stick / but managed to go up and down three times each of the six days we were there. Not a negative / you know they are there: just roll with it!

Nice room in a fantastic old building with a great view of the harbor from a 2nd floor balcony

Location is the best in town. Many stairs to the rooms but worth the haul. Breakfast is taken in the bar/reception area on the ground floor. The choices are vast and the service amazing. The best part? The staff, all so friendly, helpful and caring. Have been before and will go again. My first choice in Ermopouli.

All of it. The room, the breakfast, the staff, the location.
