Hidden gem, only a year old yet established value in the making, must-visit, highly recommended. A palatial property in Ermoupoli, the heart of Syros (capital of the Cyclades) with a prime location, all points of interest are within walking distance or can be reached with a short car ride. The architecture and decor of the hotel and rooms is impressive. Beautiful chandeliers, ceiling paintings, woodwork, impressive staircase. There is a relaxing patio with an olive tree and lavender bushes. Mediterranean city trip feeling but also perfect for a (mid) week stay. We stayed for four nights while island hopping in the Greek Cyclades. Accessibility: Half an hour by domestic flight from Athens, one hour and 15 minutes by ferry to Naxos, approx. 10 minutes by taxi from Syros airport. Beautiful rooms. We recommend the Castro Prestige Suite (the flagship of the Castro Hotel). The room is large and has ultra comfortable beds, mattress and pillows. Extra blankets are provided. We slept wonderfully here. The bathrobes are super soft. The bathroom is a ballroom. Two sinks (ideal for couples). Shower and bath big enough for two people. Separate toilet. The wardrobe is sufficiently large. Safe is present. As well as all necessary bathroom facilities and products (including bubble bath). There is a television, sitting area, small desk. The large terrace overlooking the famous Church of Agios Nikolaos is an added value. Waking up to the ringing bells and having a morning coffee on this terrace is an unforgettable experience. Extensive minibar and your personal preferences are taken into account (it is best to inform the hotel in advance). The restaurant in the cellar serves a tasty breakfast (included in the room price) as well as à la minute dishes (menu). Delicious and strong coffee. Fresh orange juice. Recommendation for improvement: earlier start of the breakfast (now 8.30AM); early breakfast request is possible if communicated beforehand to the reception. Castro Hotel collaborates with Ousyra restaurant, hotel guests receive a free bottle of wine. The spa and wellness facilities are unique in the basement with vaulted ceilings. We booked the 'exclusive spa day' package (perfect for couples, romantic experience, duration: 4 hours): Sparkling wine and fruit platter as a welcome gift on arrival, afternoon tea and snacks (savoury and sweet), hammam (with face, body, hair detox masks), full body relaxing massage and a facial treatment per person, use of the hot tub (Roman bath). Shower, bathrobes, slippers are provided. The aromatherapy is a nice touch. Relaxing background music. The room was ultra clean. Mood lighting with candles and lanterns. The massage therapist is an artiste, thank you! We highly recommend this experience. The staff is welcoming, helpful, communicative, flexible. Excellent service. Good language knowledge. Great recommendations and suggestions for attractions, excursions and activities. We felt like home. We felt very safe in the hote
