I discovered Ios purely by accident last July while island-hopping in the Cyclades. On arriving at the port I got chatting to Nikos (the friendly owner of Hermes hotel), and decided to spend 4 nights there. The room was very clean and comfortable with an ensuite bathroom. The pool was fantastic! A good size, with amazing views over the sea... More

Very reasonably priced accommodation. Clean room. Good bathroom facilities. Free wifi. Good A/C. Such a good location as it is only a 6/7 minute walk from the town and a 10 minute walk to Mylopotas beach. There is no noise at night so you can sleep well and not be bothered by the music from the clubs and bars in... More

I arrived on Ios after a long trip via Athens from Stockholm so was a bit fried and it was hot and I had no accommodation booked, had not looked at a map and really had no idea what I was going to do. There was this large friendly fellow standing round with the masses of backpackers and hotel owners... More

Good hotel well situated between village& beach,Great service by Ruth and her team at the pool bar, The owner Nick only seemed to appear when picking up or dropping off so all the PR is done by Ruth at the Pool Bar. Rooms basic but very clean would highly reccomend. Service& restaurant ratings refers to Pool bar only More

I visited this hotel in April with a friend. The hotel itself is super - the rooms were large and clean and had a lovely balcony with a sea view. The downside was the service.

My husband and I have been visiting Ios since 2002 and have stayed at Hotel Hermes all 5 years we have visited the island. Over the years they have renovated the rooms and have recently added a lounge/bar/restaurant where people can gather to watch football and have a few drinks and food. The views from the hotel are amazing and... More

My husband and I went to ios on a whim. When we arrived we where approached by nick the greek. Very nice host and enticed us to stay at his family run hotel. I'm glad he did, because the hotel is very nice and ideally situated between the beach and the town on a cliff overlooking the sea. More

Please please please anybody thinking of staying at this hotel..... DONT! My experiences & those of just about everybody else staying there at the same time were a mixture of despair & anger. If your aspirations of holiday accommodation are to be treated like cattle, stay in sub standard (18-30 looks like Dubai in comparison!) rooms, & generally be treated... More
