Excellent hotel with very friendly staff. Comfortable beds and room. Very clean. Good breakfast. View from the hotel is lovely. Be aware that there are about 130 stairs from port to hotel! We had to climb them 3 or so times a day, and the first day with suitcases, unless you rent a donkey for 20euro.

Really lovely hotel. Great location and beautiful view!
A very nice property. Spare and elegant decor. Gorgeous views of the town and port from my spacious suite. Lots of steps up the hill, but that is part of the charm of Hydra. The staff is excellent: friendly, knowledgeable and engaging.

Loved the quietness of the island which made sleeping excellent. We had a room with a balcony (not many here) and enjoyed sitting, looking over the harbour and enjoying a glass or two of wine. The breakfast was served in a quaint dining area and had a great selection of items to eat. Will definitely come back here again.
The staff at Hydra hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful. I was in room 201 with spectacular corner views of the port and was right next to the breakfast area with its own outdoor area. Unless you are carrying a light weight bag, just plan on hiring the donkey transportation to the hotel. I carried my heavy bad myself, having not understood how many steps there actually were and would not recommend it! I highly recommend Hydra Hotel for its kind staff, beautiful aesthetics, and insane views!

Lovely Stay
Not recommended for someone who is not up to the climb, the hotel, situated some distance up from the harbor, was wonderful for us. The location made the stay quieter, and the view lovelier. Mule transport (15 euros each way) made getting luggage in and out reasonably painless. The rooms were beautiful. We are not given to relaxing in hotel rooms much, but the wonderful ambience made us very happy to hang out there. The breakfast was great and the staff vary helpful.
The property is perched high up, some 120 steps up from the harbour. If you don’t feel like carrying your own luggage you can hire the service of a local mule for 20 euros. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable recommending local restaurants. Our room (201) was situated at the end where of the building overlooking the harbour. We had a terrace at the rear to sit and enjoy a glass of wine but this did not have a view. Our shower doors were missing but this was not an issue.s the beds were very comfortable and the hotel was very clean all round. A number of options for the continental breakfast were offered including scrambled eggs and bacon which was bonus. The clock tower strikes at the hour and half hour throughout the day but ceases at 10pm and restarts at 6am! That was a bit of shock after the first night! Access to good waking along the coast of Hydra and island day hoping should you want to. We think you’d exhaust all attractions in 2 days but just watching the yachts in the harbour passes the time.
Property was very new and well kept and room was large. Staff was friendly but only when there, which was not after 6 pm. It was quite expensive, so I expected a higher level of service. Small things like drinking water and expresso coffee were extra.
Great stay at Hydra hotel. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, delicious breakfast and lovely staff - thank you Daphne and Anastasia ❤️.
There are many steps (100 apparently) to get to the hotel from town so not recommended if mobility is an issue.
Daphne assured us it got easier each time!
This is a classy little hotel with a great location, friendly personal service and very elegant decor on a peaceful, restful little Greek Island. At else. Oils you ask for.
There are a lot of stairs to get to the property, so it may not be suitable for everyone

I loved the place and it was unique but not worth the 124 steps up and down for anything you want to do. It was exhausting and there wasnt anything available without going into the town

Elana is at the front desk and she was more than good, she was excellent. She gave us a list of everything that we needed on the island and all were perfect. She was answering all kinds of questions that we had right away. Also the other 2 staff that were working were great as well. All so helpfull, and kind. We were very lucky to stay at this hotel. Thank youGuys

Everything was absolutely lovely about this hideaway spot. The most important thing for every traveler to know is that you would be best served to hire a donkey service to carry your luggage to the hotel from the port. You also need to be sure you are in relatively healthy shape to handle the series of stairs to and within the hotel. The stone-laden stairs in the streets are VERY slippery as I found out rolling my ankle while wearing excellent athletic shoes.
Nettes kleines Hotel auf Hydra, wenn man bereit ist 100 Stufen zu steigen. Gepäck wird im Hafen via Maulieren transportiert.
