Well located for Ferries
Stayed for one night, very good location less than ten minutes walk up hill from port. Located just beside start of path leading up to Chora ( with alternative of local bus stopping just in front of door every 15 minutes - EUR1.60). Nice and stylish hotel, reasonably priced. Bonus of welcome drink at pool bar. Our room was one of last available, so no view, just interior courtyard, but fine for one night.

Unforgettable!
The best hotel we've ever been privileged enough to stay at. Stunning architecture, and it gets more breathtaking when you walk in. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff were kind and approachable. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ios. It is perfectly positioned - close to the port and Chora. Thank you xx

Best accommodation I’ve ever stayed in on a trip to Europe. Beautiful property with high quality fixtures and fittings and extremely clean making for a comfortable stay. View over the port and beach was amazing! Comfortable bed and pillows, excellent bathroom with toiletries, comfortable padded bench seat on the balcony. Welcome cocktail on arrival at the beautiful (but a bit chilly) pool. Wish I never left!

Our stay here was amazing! Customer service was outstanding, cleanliness and comfort of the room was excellent, and location was ideal! The location is less than a ten minute walk from the ferry port and is roughly a fifteen minute walk from the main town (Ios Village/Chora) with a foot path right outside the front door! Overall, our stay here was fantastic!

Ios Rules!
Lovely hotel, in great location from the port and old town, bus right outside. Great little touches in the room, fruit bowl and we got a welcome drink. Room was really nice set up and spacious, lovey terrace. Perfect place to stay on Ios. Only slightly annoying part is the pre check in online, it’s a bit of a faff but not really a big deal in the scheme of things. there is also a weird video to watch when you check in with all the rules and regulations it was like a construction site induction? don’t let that put you off through we found it quite funny? we had no problem with the rules ?? the staff were helpful and laid back.

The welcoming presentation conducted by one of receptionists offers our guests very useful information about our services our operating hours and a few rules that are in place that enhance our hotel's ambient environment such as our hotel's quiet hours. The presentation is also very useful in offering many different visualised hints and tips of things to do and see in Ios.

Terrible and scamming service!!!
Our stay at kritiakas was met with a bitter end. From the beginning we were treated with poor service and lied to from checkin. Within 48hrs of our arrival, we were informed that the breakfast service was at no additional cost to us and was part of our booking. At the point of checkout, we were then confronted with a bill of over 150€... the staff claiming that we owed this and we were the ones at fault for not carefully knowing our own booking, when we were the ones that asked them and they would not own up to their fault in advising us wrong. After trying to discuss the problem, they threatened to call the police on us and blamed us for misunderstanding. (Eleni) was the front end staff we dealt with. We are extremely disappointed with the service and handled with a VERY unprofessional manner. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone!
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019
Response from Kritikakis Village Management on 23 Jul 2019
We are appalled by your audacity to insult the integrity of our personnel that is honouring us with their hard work and merit. If you wished to see if breakfast was included, you could call Expedia or simply check your emails for the copy of your booking that states all details. If it was so easy to blow the cover of our scam, (by simply checking your emails) it would be a very badly set up scam, to the level of foolishness. If we had a deceptive approach, scams would not just happen to you. They would be repeated. If you did not agree with the breakfast charges you would have refused to sign the receipt for your breakfasts at the breakfast area prior to your check out. However, if you falsely claimed during your check out that you had been informed that breakfast was included, that could be a scam pressuring us to offer you breakfast for free. Of course, we would call the police. It is our legal right against anyone who doesn’t have the decency to honour the agreement of their reservation and against anyone that refuses to cover the expenses of the services they used or consumed in our hotel. Why would you feel threatened by the police if you truly felt we were scamming you? Moreover, you did not try to discuss, instead you simply refused to pay based on false claims which you couldn’t even back up by not being able to answer simple questions such as “who and at what time was it that informed you that breakfast was included”. We only have three receptionists, so it couldn’t have been such a tough question to answer. Eleni, an exceptional outstanding professional offering the best services possible, the one who spent time trying to arrange your massage and the laundry services for you. Sadly enough, even your review is lacking the necessary coherence, not being able to decide if we lied to you at check in or at some point during the first two days.

Value Hotel in Good Location
The folks were kind and very polite. This hotel did not have any frills or wow factors, but did include some patio seating on the terrace. It was in a good location we could either walk down to the ferry port or go up the stairs to shops and restaurants. We rented an ATV at the port and visited Manganari Beach. The only con I had was the shower size. It is so small, and we kept running into the wall, faucet or curtain. I would stay here again because it was in walking distance of food and ferry port. If you want to party we recommend staying in Milopothas. This hotel is not in a party zone and you can hear the cars driving by since it’s on an intersection.

Dear Marisol, Thank you for taking the time to share your view. We would like to inform you that if you stayed with us again you would be happily surprised as we have renovated and upgraded a large number of bathrooms to address such comfort issues. In addition the comment about bathroom size was not characteristic of the hotel throughout but concerned a few room types that have now been completely renovated. We are definitely not a party hotel nor do we advertise as one. We provide a nice ambient environment, if you wish to party there are plenty of options near by that we can suggest. Mylopotas is great for day time partying indeed but at night there not as many options as there in the port to dine or have a drink. Moreover, It is tough to reach Mylopotas at night after partying in the village as it is a much longer distance and walk and there is much more noise than the sound of the street intersection that our reception is facing that you complained about. We are pleased that you enjoyed our hospitality and we hope to see you again. Kind regards, Kritikakis VIllage Hotel team

We liked the room upon first walking in, but once we got to the Bathroom it was a different story. The bathroom was dirty. The worst part about it was next to the toilet paper roll, there was a big clot of blood on the wall. The toilet seat wasn't clean either. They just threw some cleaning products in the bowl and labeled it that it was just cleaned. The hotel was very close to the port so that was a plus. They also had two very nice pools. One for swimming, and one for lounging (it was only two feet deep the most) with beds inside the water. Oh I almost forgot, the wifi was terrible!

Dear Cathy, Thank you for your feedback. We would like to apologise for the bad cleaning experienced that you temporarily faced. The mark on the wall was not blood but a make up stain that needed repainting. It did come to our attention and we took immediate action. During our daily inspections we did acknowledge the sudden poor performance of a member of our house keepers and we terminated our cooperation, as we do not accept underachievement in our cleaning services. We are happy that you enjoyed the hotel overall.

Great location within walking distance of port. Lovely welcome meeting at checkin detailing highlights of ios. All staff were happy and very helpful. We had room 12 which was close to the pool and had a superb view over the bay. Bus stop located just outside hotel for easy access to Chora.

Tap water was salty, service mediocre. I wish I had seen reviews before.

Tap water is the same on all the island that is why we inform you that it is not potable and we offer a bottle of water for free upon arrival. The majority of reviews are very positive contrary to yours, which is poorly justified.

Epic! So serene!
Fantastic hotel! Lovely staff they bent over backwards for me. Super clean, great service! The PM shift girl waited for my boat to come in that arrived a bit late. Very close to the port it was perfect when I get off my boat . I spent two days there . I definitely took advantage to the pool area. I definitely got my work out with the 72 steps to my room.

Your review is the only one stating such discomfort, to the extreme extent of not being able to sleep. Despite your overt exaggeration, we understand that the beds might not have been of the softness or hardness you would desire; however we do have ways of adjusting the mattress softness if we have specific requests.

Friendly nice hotel
My partner and I stayed for 2 nights only during the quieter time so we didn't really get to see the island in full swing however the hotel staff were extremely helpful when we got there telling us about all the restaurants, bars, clubs and beaches to see. We also were upgraded upon arrival which was extremely nice too the room had a lovely view aswell.

A village hotel with excellent service
For a 3 star rated location; beyond expations simply based on their customer service. It's genuine. May not be the grandest of facilities. Has the nesesseties and the view from the breakfast and pool area are beautiful. Will strongly recommend for any traveler during the off season in September.
