Guest Reviews

• laura (8/5): - The location could not be more perfect. The wonderful family who run the hotel really make this place. It’s been in the family for several generations. It’s not at all luxury - and the rooms are pretty basic but the prices don’t reflect that or mislead you in any way. In terms of the guests, be mindful that they are all generally below age 30 - and are in Ios to party! Some were inconsiderate blasting music in their rooms and talking on speaker phones but none of this is the hotel’s fault. If you want brilliant Greek hospitality at a good price (yes it’s a budget hotel but run by the most genuine of people, unlike many on Santorini), give this place a try and you’ll have a great time.
• Ludovic (8/5): Excellent choix à Ios - Très grand studio avec magnifique terrasse donnant sur la baie. L’hôtel dispose d’une très grande piscine ensoleillée et fournit des serviettes. Proche du port et à 10mn de montée de Chora
• Julia (10/5): - We got scared by all of the bad reviews but can’t relate at all! The hotel was clean, the staff lovely, and the pool an absolute lifesaver considering the cold ocean in Ios.
• Natalie (10/5): - The staff was great. It is close to the port and bus stop. Great cafe 2 minute walk from the hotel. Away from the noise in the main village.
• Lisa (8/5): - Hotellet har
• SYLVIE (2/5): - I booked this hotel by mistake , thinking it was in Santorini. When I noticed it wasn’t, I advised the hotel was in another island and I would not be able to make it. I booked it non refundable , because I had no thought it was wrong and I would need to cancel. Even with emails, messages and phone calls, the owner did not accept refunding the room or part of . They stayed weeks with no answer so that at the end no compassion whatsover…makes me wonder maybe if I was there, experience would have been as bad since they dont care about customers.
• Kafkas (2/5): - Noisy and not clean rooms, with poor conditions , was not a good experience at all..
• Gaash (2/5): - If you’re a group of girls AVOID at all costs. One of the staff members who claims to be security enters all the rooms where girls are staying without warning. When we stayed there 3 different groups complained that he just walked into their room while changing clothes and he wouldn’t leave. When told to management they completely ignored it as if it’s normal…it’s extremely unsafe there for women.
• Louis (10/5): - perfect stay
• maylise (6/5): - Rapport qualité prix correct, grâce à une grande piscine, à la situation géographique et à la propreté des chambres . Par contre, le personnel n’est pas très accueillant, le petit déjeuner n’est pas proposé lorsqu’il n’y a pas de grands groupes, on s’est déjà retrouvé sans pouvoir en prendre. Et il n’y a pas de pression dans la douche. C’est un hôtel avec énormément de jeunes, du coup il y a du bruit à peu près toute la nuit avec les entrées et sorties et les portes qui claquent. Enfin, il y a énormément de chats, ce qui nous a beaucoup plu, mais qui devrait être signalé pour les personnes qui en ont peur
• Robert (10/5): - I would recommend this hotel. I had an amazing stay in Armadoros Hotel!
• Ryan (2/5): - Unclean and dirty.
• Abi (10/5): - The staff here were incredible, rooms are so clean and, great views and vibes by the pool and 10 min walk into village centre and 5 mins to/from the port with heaps of dining options. Highly recommend and also amazing price
• Todd (8/5): - The property was good for a 20-30 year old crowd.
• Elin (8/5): - Perfect location. Close to the ferry port and a lot of restaurants. A lot of stairs to come to the city but worth it. Perfect hotel if you are younger and is there for partying!!
• Sacha (6/5): - L’emplacement est idéal et la piscine très sympa, le personnel agréable par contre l’insonorisation est horrible et la literie pas du tout sympa ! Les toilettes extérieures féminines sont très mal entretenues!!
• Dario (8/5): - Swimming pool patches a bit the room condition
• Verified traveler (2/5): Old hotel noisy in the corridor - Very, very noisy hotel, especially in the corridor between rooms. If you want to sleep at night, don't book here. Hotel for young people only.
• Blake (6/5): - Underwhelming for the price. We stayed on 4 different islands during our trip, this was somehow more expensive than Mykonos and Santorini so our hopes were high it'd be great. It's a great location, right by Ios port and beach. The beds were firm and the room air conditioning wasn't great, neither was the bathroom and shower. If I were going back to Ios, I'd look for somewhere else to stay.
• Sophia (10/5): - I loved the pool and the location
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Απλά δωμάτια και μικρά. Τα κρεβάτια δεν ηταν καθόλου άνετα. Το μόνο καλό του ξενοδοχείου ήταν ο χώρος της πισίνας και της καφετέριας.
• Nicko (10/5): - A minute away from the port. Simple nothing fancy hotel but had cold AC. Hot shower. Comfortable bed. Nice staff. Nice pool. Reasonable rate. Nothing bad to say about this place.
• Stefania (2/5): Hotel sconsigliatissimo - Il peggior Hotel di sempre! NON PRENOTATE. Accoglienza pessima, camera sporca, nessuna pulizia giornaliera e lenzuola sporche nonostante abbia chiesto di cambiarle più volte. Appena arrivata ho cercato un altro Hotel dove soggiornare ma era tutto pieno. I proprietari sono scostumati e poco disponibili. Frequentato da ragazzi ubriachi che disturbavano a notte inoltrata.
• Giada (2/5): Esperienza pessima - Esperienza pessima, hotel sporchissimo.. appena sono entrAta nella stanza c’era una puzza assurda di fogna nel bagno, e un’unghia sul davanzale del bagno (che non è stata mai tolta) e per di più per farti pulire la stanza devi chiederlo alla reception perché loro altrimenti non la puliscono.. la piscina ha il fondale verde per quanto è sporca..in generale è sporchissimo. Non lo consiglio nemmeno al peggior nemico
• Verified traveler (4/5): - I had a great room with amazing views! Seems like it’s being managed by lovely pensioners. Very close to the port. Only 15mins tough hike to the village.
• Nora (10/5): - We loved our stay! The poolarea were really nice and our room had everything we needed. The walk up to the city were a bit hard, straight up for 10 min. But a really beautiful town that we enjoyed spending time in. Also the hotel is close to the port, some restaurants, a supermarket and renting cars/ATV!
• James (10/5): - Hotel is just beside the port. Cool swimming pool and bar. Staff are great. Room is basic but good standard
• Verified traveler (6/5): Not the best - We stayed there for one night and there were ants everywhere. The bathroom smelled obsqure and things were coming out of the well of the shower. The towels were dirty with different kinds of stains. They had a nice pool tho and the hotel was located close to a kind of hospital and the bus station as well as the ferry port. Overall it could have been better.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - A localização é ótima. A infraestrutura das piscinas e bar estão muito boas. O hotel poderia melhorar as camas e chuveiros. Um pouco de barulho a noite devido ao hotel ter muitos jovens. Reclamamos e o barulho logo parou. Mais recomendado para jovens viajando sozinhos.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Outside area of the hotel and food here was good, the bathroom and running water didn’t work for some of our stay and we had no hot water for a night
• Lianne (10/5): Great stay! - Really good stay for a group of friends travelling together. Lovely and clean - clean sheets & towels provided everyday! 5 mins walk (if even) from the port & bus stop. Bus goes every 20mins up into the village. Very easy to get around transport wise. Staff are friendly and very helpful. If travelling with a group would definitely recommend staying here.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The rooms are basic but ours had nice view of the port from our balcony. Staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. It's a 5 minute walk from the ferry to the hotel, and everything in the port area is walking distance. There is a bus stop by the hotel that takes you to the middle of town. The pool was a huge plus. Note: most people staying here are in their 20s, so don't expect it to be a quiet hotel.
• Greg and Elisabeth (10/5): Great place to stay - Great place clean friendly for couples and families, would definitely go back.
• Marcus (8/5): - Bra ungdomshotel
• Emile (10/5): Armadoros hotel IOS - Très bien reçu par le monde de l’hotel! Très beau séjour je recommande l’hôtel a 110%
• Verified traveler (10/5): FAB - Best backpackers I've ever stayed in. Beautiful pool, great food and drink and the rooms were a good size with AC. Would definitely return.
• Fabrice (8/5): Très proche du port et du bus stop - Le bâtiment n’est pas récent (type 1980) mais il a été bien entretenu. Accueil familial et chaleureux. Belle piscine. Grandes chambres propres. Salle de bain un peu datée mais propre. Préférer les chambres économiques à l’arriere car plus calmes.
• - (10/5): GREAT HOTEL! - Since this is a backpackers hotel, lots of people complain that it's not amazing. Yes it's not a 5* hotel. For a backpackers hotel, you have a fantastic clean pool, a pool bar that serves really tasty food and a good price, and it stays open til late so always good to pre-game. Beds are comfy, you have air con, shower works. Great view if you have the side of the view, if not the other side is great to make friends. I've been to Armadoros twice already and I would go back again if I go back to IOS!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Terrific Accommodation - Hotel staff was friendly and hospitable. The pool, bar, and front patio are a real treat. Also, the location of the hotel is perfect, which is within walking distance from the main port. We each had a big suitcase and were able to walk from the port to the hotel within 5 minutes. A slight hill climb and the road is bumpy, but manageable with wheeled luggage. #OsborneAdventures
• Verified traveler (6/5): God atmosfære, men trenger en oppussing - Bra
• Thomas (8/5): Sweet place - Bra hotell som praktisk plassert i forhold til havnen. Deilig bassengområde. Enkle rom i klassisk gresk stil (harde pinne senger). Veldig hyggelig personale. Bra bar med gode drinker.?
• Alexandra (10/5): Friendly and Accommodating Hotel - The hotel wasn't very nicely locatedckose to the port and only a 10 minute walk to the centre. The pool was fantastic, the food delicious and the staff are absolutely wonderful and so accommodating. My friend and I had the best time and plan to stay here again next year!
• Nathan (10/5): Great stay by the port. - Stayed here for our time in Ios and it is a great location for the price. Super close to the port (2 min walk after your ferry) and right near the bus station to take you to any beach or club. Very friendly and helpful staff. Minimal wifi in rooms but great wifi by the pool.
• Sarah (6/5): Ios stay - The Wifi isn't great and we couldn't get it in our rooms. Very close to Chora where you will find the amazing nightlife. Also close to the port for ferry access.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely hotel - Nice clean room with a pool view, friendly staff, perfect for a quieter Ios stay but still close enough to the village.
