This place is so much fun and it is probably the best hostel on the island. You will have a ball here! But make sure you book early if you want to stay, i'd book now if you are heading to Ios in June/July.

Being a senior traveller and after spending time in Mykonos and Santorini I was not expecting too much and I was ready just to relax and enjoy the quiet beaches...But when my mate and I got in this place we felt home away from home, free transfer from/to port, welcome drink and drinking games to socialize then full rock to...

After travelling for so long and being away from home it was such a breath of fresh air to arrive at Francesco's and be instantly treated as a part of the family. From the warm welcome at the pier/docks and Alex's "informative" guide up through the streets of Ios to the hostel (I'll forever know the cost of the morning... More

I am not a hostel person. Bad beds, bad bathroom, noisy... and here it is not different. But there is something about this place that you must know: the people.

Recently my husband and I stayed at Francesco's. I was a bit hesitant to book here as I had read the mixed reviews and wasn't sure what I was getting myself into by staying there. I am so glad that we chose to stay here as so far it has been the best place we have stayed during our around... More

My friend and I stayed here last summer for 4 nights and really had the best time imaginable. Our room was clean and air-conditioned, and we used to have so much fun lounging by the pool (with the most incredible view!) all day. The location is right in the middle of the clubs, so you can just walk wherever you... More

Stayed here for 4 nights in July. The room was quite good, not many of the lights worked and was a bit dark. The air conditioner worked really well and it was clean. The location and friendliness of this place is what makes it great. Pool area has an amazing view but closes at 7pm. The bar is buzzing from... More
