Douskos Guesthouse ★★★

"Location was perfect. No climb at all. Staff were so lovely, especially Angeliki who was helpful, funny and friendly. Her recommendations were spot on and were perfect for our visit. The room was great, we even had a balcony! The swimming towels were a great bonus! I will be back!!"

Bellevalia Hydra - Formerly Four Seasons Hydra ★★★★

"We arrived in Hydra late in the afternoon. A water taxi was waiting for us at the port to take us to this little slice of heaven. As we stepped off the boat, our luggage was taken and we received two glasses of fresh squeezed lemonade. And from then on I gongs just got better. The service kind and generous, the place on the beach, food delicious and excellent shuttle service to and from the main village, I will definitely go back again!!!"

Angelica Traditional Boutique Hotel ★★★★

"The hotel is particularly beautiful, quiet, no room number, each room is distinguished by a Greek goddess. The room is particularly exquisite, and the mountain opposite the hotel is a school, especially warm."

Achilleas Pension ★★★

"Really excellent choice. Staff were really helpful, the room was good and the location was perfect. Near enough to everything but far enough away to be peaceful. The only criticism was that the wifi was weak and it took forever to send emails, don’t think about downloading anything."

Maison Muse ★★★

Hydrea Exclusive Hospitality ★★★

"The hotel is in a fantastic location right near the port and some great swimming spots. The rooms and lovely. However, the service was poor. A few examples include: Every day when we left our room they would come into our room and turn the aircon off. As it was 37 degrees during the day, we wanted to come back to a cool room after being out for lunch etc. Each day we asked them to stop doing this and each day they continued. On one occasion I had a 7.30am work call and asked to order a coffee to have while I did this call. They said they were unable to make coffee before 8am - crazy in a luxury hotel at these prices. Every day the barista got my coffee order wrong despite ordering the same thing every day for the duration of our stay. The girl on the front desk was quite rude and unhelpful. She claimed a few times it was just that she didn’t speak English well (which seems concerning given most of the guests staying speak English) however at other times it seemed to be clear she just wanted us to get out of the hotel each day and not ask for assistance for things like reservations for restaurants. In the end we organised things ourselves. On one day the tour guide we had organised for 7pm had called the hotel to cancel and they had not bothered to notify us - we got to reception at 6.45 only then to find our tour was cancelled It’s a shame as the hotel itself is lovely (however I would not recommend it for older guests or those not strong and fit to do lots of stairs - the main staircase is very steep and long - I’m in my mid 30s and found it hard to do each day in the heat. There’s no alternate access). I do hope they improve the service in future if the expect to charge the prices they do for this hotel."

Mandraki Beach Resort - Adults Only ★★★★★

"We took the resort’s boat from Hydra harbour and spent a beautiful day at the beach club. Very friendly and professional staff and tranquil location. Lunch was excellent. It was not the cheap option but it was a fantastic way to chill for the day."

Orloff Boutique Hotel ★★★★

"We stayed in the Garden Suite. The Suite was of perfect size with perfect amenities. However, the breakfast served at the main hotel was below average. This was our sixth year in Hydra and we are very familiar with pricing. Given its rather further location, pricing is on the high side. The garden was nice however there was cat piss smell in the garden. Although I am a cat lover, I d rather not have this smell having paid over 400 eur / night."

Hotel Miranda ★★★★

"Hotel Miranda was a fabulous spot to explore Hydra for 36 hours, we would have stayed longer if we could! Yanna and her team went over and above to make our experience amazing! They very kindly allowed us to keep our bags at the hotel while we awaited the evening ferry. Breakfast fabulous and the rooms very authentic to the grand mansion - the hotel has been in the same family for over 65 years!"
