The bathroom was a bit old. The bottle of water in the fridge are charged.

It was such a pleasure to stay at Hydra Hotel. It is a charming boutique hotel atop of a hill well furnished and decorated. The staff was very nice and the cleaning of the room just perfect ! The breakfast is served on a nice terrace very lovely.

I would improve the breakfast adding more choices for hot beverages. The quality of the food is high and this would just add more prestigious to the service.

Everything is very nice and well curated. The design in my room was gorgeous and functional. Excellent Housekeeping service.

A wonderful place to stay and Dafne and her associate could not have been more helpful.

Air-conditioning bedroom was quite noisy and the steps up were a bit of a killer but, as I said, that’s just the nature of the island!

It was a fabulous location, albeit with lots of steps but then that’s the nature of hydra! We had the room with the balcony that overlook the harbour which was absolutely beautiful. Breakfasts were lovely as well saved in a lovely terrace.

Great view and wonderful staff

Many people went before us: there were a lot of stairs. The first climb with our luggage was challenging, but climbing them without luggage is okay. Also: the hotel is on an island, which means ferries can get cancelled due to the weather conditions. Consider booking insurance. The hotel was extremely helpful and caring to keep us updated when our ferries got cancelled. Would recommend!

We fell in love with the island and this charming boutique hotel. The view from the bed in the Junior Suite was insanely beautiful. The staff, especially the hostesses, was very friendly and helpful (extra grateful for the recommendations and care of Dafni). The breakfast was fine! The mattresses are hard, we liked it, but it comes to preference.

A bit more vegetable choice for breakfast would be nice ;)

Very nice hotel in a beautiful town on an amazing island. Everything you need is here.

The largest detriment of the property is the 170+ stair steps from the harbor up to our second (actually third) floor room. We are in our sixties, in pretty good shape (except for our knees!), and did this twice a day for three+ days. It did get easier (haha) and I think I gained some muscle in my legs. Definitely pay for the mule to haul your luggage (the hotel will arrange for this, which should be slightly less expensive than hiring one yourself)!

Our room was spacious, clean and had a great view of the town up the hill. The shared terrace/breakfast area is a nice bonus. The breakfast selection was small but very good; it could have had more variety day to day. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and were very helpful with local information, reservations, etc. I enjoyed visiting the Lazaros Koundouriotis Historical Mansion, which is just a few doors up the street from the hotel.

The location may be a challenge for those who are unfit or suffer from the summer heat. It is a good 165 steep steps up from the centre of town.

Pleasant and attentive staff. Great breakfast. Good views of the town and harbour. Comfortable beds. Airconditioned rooms. Traditional building.

Nothing

I liked the staff they were super friendly like a family Hotel was small and quiet and minimal Breakfast was perfect Rooms were great could do with a few more touches ie a stool and table to do hair and make up one reaches an age where one needs to sit and not stand

Stayed in June 2024

An espresso machine either in the room or at breakfast, wifi was on my bedside table. Otherwise its a fantastic option and i would stay there again.

Central but with lots of stairs, very friendly, large rooms, no extra facilities but it had exactly what we needed

Stayed in June 2024

Small boutique style accommodation - lovely staff and aesthetically pleasing. Nice buffer breakfast .Be warned you do need to climb the stairs of Hydra to get to the hotel and there are also stairs up to the hotel door and verandah where breakfast is served so not suited for anyone with mobility issues

Dafni was the best very welcoming and very professional!
