Hydrea Exclusive Hospitality

The manager on site (Mike) was extremely friendly and helpful. We had the corner suite with the balcony overlooking the port, and almost wanted to stay out their the entire time, but were very glad we ventured out and took Mike's recommendations for dinner and daily walks. Amazing location, very comfortable, and did I mention the balcony? Feels like we know one of the best rooms in all of Greece. The whole hotel has a unique beauty and charm, and the smell of fresh-baking bread in the mornings... I miss it already.

Hotel charmant, personnel attentionné, très bien placé, propre et confortable. Dommage qu’il manque des parasols pour être à l’ombre au petit déjeuner…

A nice hotel in a perfect location but lacking attention to detail and badly needing investment. For a 4 star ‘Exclusive’ ‘luxury’ ‘boutique’ hotel all sorts of things need attending to: 2 umbrellas on the terrace for the whole hotel - come to breakfast late and you need to sit in blazing sun. No tea making, bin, mirror in room. Tiny wardrobe with a handful of hangers. No place to put bags. Certainly ‘luxury’ extras perhaps expected for €350 or more a night were not present. Maintenance poor - shower / bath tap jammed and despite maintenance visit never worked thecwhole stay plug not working, bulbs not working, light falling off wall. Furnishings strange, not taking reference to the beautiful historic building, and rather dated. Ancient tiny TV. Clear that investment has been totally absent for years. Staff helpful and enthusiastic but rather hit and miss in efficiency. Maximum of only one staff member seemingly present outside breakfast and no hint of any sort if exclusive or luxury hospitality. For pretty much the most expensive hotel in town a real disappointment. A recent stay in the Leto was equally good and a third of the price. Ridiculous cost left a bitter taste and unfulfilled expectations after an otherwise lovely stay on the island. Very mediocre.

A beautiful hotel in an excellent location. This is a restored mansion from the 1800s. The staff was very gracious and helpful. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Located right on the port but to one side away from the hustle and bustle of the main area. Our room was spacious and with a harbour view. Breakfast is served on a terrace overlooking the water and staff are extremely attentive.

The hotel is a beautiful old home. The manager Thanos is amazing. He is so welcoming and helpful with any requests. The breakfast is cooked to order and delicious. The staff can’t be beat. The location is also a perfect launch point for anything you want to do in the old town area.

Perfect

Nice breakfast, handmaded and rich.beautiful property They gave us another room outsited in a nearby location. A nice room, but not the one that I've choose.

Just an amazing stay! Beautiful common areas and rooms. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was the best ever and enjoyed on the balcony overlooking the water. Couldn't improve on one thing.....everything was perfect.

Ein Paradis - perfekte Lage, oberhalb aber nah am Hafen, mit gleichzeitigem Bluck auf das Meer. Ein Ort mit einer außergewöhnlichen Ausstrahlung und einem perfekten Service. Man fühlt sich wie zu Hause!

This is a lovingly restored powerful merchant’s house from 1803 overlooking the port and the main town. They’ve done it in a style that is at once grand and contemporary shabby chic. Great details, elegant, but comfortable. They only have eight rooms, so it felt like my own decadent Hydra home. The great vibe is reinforced by the staff, not least by the manager, Thanos, who radiates charm and conviviality. Breakfast is a delightful, authentic experience. You feel every minute that you are in Greece, and in a world of sameness and international standard fare, this is really welcome.

Excelente hotel, muy bien ubicado, con una vista extraordinaria y las instalaciones muy buenas. Lo recomiendo ampliamente

Wir haben hier ein langes Wochenende verbracht und waren rundum zufrieden. Ein sehr schönes und feines Hotel. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
