Yialos Ios Hotel

Stayed 3 nights. Transferred from Santorini to Ios by Seajet high speed service, very good. Hotel was a short walk from harbour. Good size pool area with nice quality loungers etc. Pleasant bar area overlooking the pool. Breakfast was very good with a choice of food. Room was smallish (they do larger rooms) it was clean with a comfortable bed. Walk up a steep hill with steps taking circa 20 minutes to the main town (buses and taxis are available) lots of winding little streets with shops, restaurants and bars. Their are a few restaurants at the harbour also a small sandy beach. Staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. Would we stay again…. Yes

We came to Ios for a wedding and stayed at the Yialos Hotel. Everything was perfect and all the staff were amazing and very helpful! Really good location within a 5min walk to the port, with lots of restaurants nearby (definitely recommend Ithika) Lovely pool area and place to relax as well. Would highly recommend!!!!

I recently stayed at Yialos Ios Hotel and had a mixed experience. The initial room was disappointing (traditional economy). It was dark, humid, with yellowed pillows, a barely functioning hair dryer, and the bodywash dispenser was empty. The door would lock with difficulty, and my window faced a junk pile. Insects were coming in from under and around the door frame, making it impossible to sleep for two nights (I was afraid that insects were going crawl onto the bed). The first night I arrived back to the hotel after an evening out, I found at least 10 insects crawling around the floor. I used whatever I could find to block the space under the door, but the second night I realized that the insects were coming through the side of the door frame. When I reported this, the front desk dismissed my concerns, assuring me the insects wouldn’t harm me. I paid for an upgraded room, and while the new room was much better, it still had issues like the bathroom bin trash which was left from previous visitors. The room wasn’t ready at the discussed time, which was frustrating as I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my valuables at the front desk (these were work related devices which provide MFA and either had to be locked in a safe or kept on me). The breakfast offerings were underwhelming (I will admit to being picky with food). A positive aspect was the presence of a night guard who helped me feel safe. Whenever I would arrive in the evening, he would notice that I was on the property, which led me to believe that he was really paying attention of who was coming and going. Once I changed rooms, my stay improved. The pool area is amazing, and having a restaurant on-site was very convenient. I do not suggest staying in the traditional or economy rooms which are located in the old building. If you stay at Yialos Ios Hotel, book a room in the newer buildings, these are listed as superior and deluxe rooms.

Yialos Ios Hotel was a gorgeous oasis. The family staff are friendly and promptly deal with any issue. The location is perfect- just a short walk from port, close to many restaurants, a beach and one minute from the bus stop that takes you to the Chora or to another of Ios' wonderful beaches (def suggest a trip to Myloptas for 4 euro round trip) The daily buffet breakfast is a feast- with your english breakfast staples such as scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast and your mediterranean items such as feta and ham and hard-boiled eggs. There was always fruit and fresh yogurt with a sort of topping and I definitely can't forget to mention the delicious homemade Greek treats. My son and I stayed in one of their smaller rooms. It was comfortable and clean. I had friends stay in larger rooms, one even had an outdoor Jacuzzi so they can accommodate different budget levels and you still feel like you're being spoiled. The pool area has cabanas and a service bar all day with food and delicious drinks. The pool was always clean and given the heat while we were there, it was our favorite place to be. I would highly recommend staying here! (I have lovely photos but having issues with my phone 😩)

Sit by the pool, enjoy the nice views. Quiet, peaceful and safe even late at night. Very friendly owners willing to do everything to make your stay comfortable. Walking distance to the beach, ferry terminal, restaurants and churches. Hot buffet breakfast with all kinds of delicious Greek pastries. Would highly recommend this hotel!

Fantastic friendly family run hotel! Amazing pool area, bar facilities and breakfast. In a fantastic location next to the port and a short bus ride to town - buses run every half hour, we got them uphill and walked down a steady decline path back down. Will definitely be back!
