“Great location, great staff, lovely place to stay”
Lovely place, with the staff being the best thing about it. Marilena was so nice, funny and helpful The location was perfect, 200 m from the bus stops, 20 mins walk to Fira (the capital). The coffee from the coffee machine was really good, the room was spacious, and the wardrobe sufficient, and there was a nice terrace which I didn't use. The Aircon was great! They have their own taxi guy, Anthonis was lovely and so helpful!

Wonderful stay! The owners were incredibly kind and helpful. They allowed me a late check-out, which made my trip much more comfortable. A special thank you to Marilena, who was amazing throughout my stay – always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help. Highly recommended!

Thank you for the exceptional service and care by the staff at Ikaros! 5🌟 ! My room was quaint, clean, lovely private patio, wifi good, hot water good, fridge in room, breakfast and bed was comfortable. Solo traveller, so getting assistance from MaryLou and staff was very helpful! This was also great value. I was 5min walk to the bus stop and 18min to the main bus station where buses could take you literally anywhere on the island.

“Would recommend the property for its cleanliness, location, and courteous staff.”
Overall, it was a pleasant stay. The room was very clean, and the washroom was also maintained well. However, after taking a shower, the entire washroom tends to get quite wet, including the floor near the door and the doormat, which could be improved. The location of the hotel is excellent — around a 10–12 minute walk to Fira bus stop and just 5 minutes from Indian and other restaurants. The staff was very kind and accommodating; they even waited for us until midnight for check-in, which we truly appreciated. All staff were very helpful. Marilena was also there and and helpfull and had special bonding with my 1 year old Son. Would recommend the property for its cleanliness, location, and courteous staff.

“Exceptional - hard to see how they could improve”
Everything - location was amazing, just 15 mins walk from Fira, and directly by the bus stop. The room was incredibly clean, and the staff were extremely friendly. The breakfast was basic but I was surprised it was included at all. The value for money was exceptional! Would highly recommend.
