Douskos Guesthouse ★★★

"Beautiful room with a balcony and sea view. Ideal location near the harbor. Spacious, simply decorated  with plates and glasses. Very clean. Great place to stay!"

Bellevalia Hydra - Formerly Four Seasons Hydra ★★★★

"We arrived in Hydra late in the afternoon. A water taxi was waiting for us at the port to take us to this little slice of heaven. As we stepped off the boat, our luggage was taken and we received two glasses of fresh squeezed lemonade. And from then on I gongs just got better. The service kind and generous, the place on the beach, food delicious and excellent shuttle service to and from the main village, I will definitely go back again!!!"

Angelica Traditional Boutique Hotel ★★★★

"The hotel is particularly beautiful, quiet, no room number, each room is distinguished by a Greek goddess. The room is particularly exquisite, and the mountain opposite the hotel is a school, especially warm."

Achilleas Pension ★★★

"Really excellent choice. Staff were really helpful, the room was good and the location was perfect. Near enough to everything but far enough away to be peaceful. The only criticism was that the wifi was weak and it took forever to send emails, don’t think about downloading anything."

Maison Muse ★★★

Hydrea Exclusive Hospitality ★★★

"We had a fabulous time at the Hydrea Exclusive Hospitality and on the incredible island of Hydra. We went last summer 2024 and loved it enough to return this summer 2025! This elegant boutique hotel was originally a private mansion built in 1803 ( I researched the background) and it was beautifully restored but still feels historical and magical. It's ideally positioned on the beautiful Hydra port with amazing views no matter what time of day. They serve a truly delicious breakfast high up on a big open outdoor big veranda where the ocean meets the port. At breakfast it's fresh and bright and then cocktails under the golden sunsets are enchanting at dusk and at night the harbor twinkles like a painting - so you’re insured that each day starts and ends with a beautiful place! In addition to the elegant Venetian mansion you get to stay in, the hotel staff are terrific and make your stay easy! The very professional and stylish Kallisti heads the team and manages every guest request with ease, interest and knows how to make things happen. She recommended super cool restaurants, got us hard to get reservations at several top restaurants and scored us seats at the very hip bar under a windmill and the best sunset on the island!. Kallisti arranged a boat for two adventures - one a day trip to around the island with incredible swimming in turquoise blue waters and caves and e enjoyed it so much a fe days later she organized a boat to he Peloponnese for a classic Greek taverna from the 70's with perfect sunset view, great music and nothing around but the sea. Kallisti also know everyone on the island! She was at the Hydrea Exclusive Hospitality last year on our 1st visit and this year it felt like she was an old friend! They hired Eleni since our last visit who works at reception and serves breakfast in the mornings and she’s lovely and remarkably hard-working. Her presence adds joy to each day as she always has a smile and remembers exactly how we like our coffee's, our Greek yogurt with extra dried fruits and pistachio's on the side! We left feeling that we were privileged to have an experience so rare and exquisite - we know we’ll definitely be back. Very special place!"

Mandraki Beach Resort - Adults Only ★★★★★

"I am what one may call a Greek fanatic. I have been coming to Greece for years, tried many high end hotels, but The Mandraki is the perfect spot to relax, cast all your stress away. It’s located in Hydra. If, like me, you enjoy daily boat rides, know you need a shuttle to access the hotel in only 10 minutes. Upon arrival, you will be shown to your room, the majority of which open directly onto one of the cleanest private sandy beaches I have experienced. Luxury hides in the details. The hotel was designed with great taste, in accordance with today’s luxury standards (but not an in-the-nose luxury) and with the history of the site, which is a former naval base. It’s feels like you are on a typical Greek harbor, though enjoying the peace and quiet of a 30 suites + facility. Very authentic and chic! Last but not least, art lovers will be pleased to know that one space was turned into a must-see art gallery. I wish I had come when there is yoga classes. It was too early in the season unfortunately. I will have to return! :) Thanks for everything! Shout out to Arthur, Wilhelmina, Alex, Chloe and Eirini who took great care of me! Sarah Belmont"

Orloff Boutique Hotel ★★★★

"The hotel is a short walk from the port and a beautifully kept historical building. The room was comfortable, clean and well equipped. On arrival we were given a local map and recommendations for eating, we tried three of the four and they were all excellent and all within 5 minutes walk of the hotel. Breakfast was served in the courtyard under the lemon trees and there was a good selection. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It is a lovely place to stay."

Hotel Miranda ★★★★

"Hotel Miranda was a fabulous spot to explore Hydra for 36 hours, we would have stayed longer if we could! Yanna and her team went over and above to make our experience amazing! They very kindly allowed us to keep our bags at the hotel while we awaited the evening ferry. Breakfast fabulous and the rooms very authentic to the grand mansion - the hotel has been in the same family for over 65 years!"
