Acteon Hotel

iOS port walking distance to centre Newly renovated, gem of a hotel, just steps off the ferry. The room was clean, sharp looking with everything you need. Shower was a delight, little balcony overlooking the port. Walk up the steps to iOS - 10mins, a 3min walk to the nearest beach with cafes, restaurants and mini supermarket right at the port. Highly recommend!

End of season experience... Friendly staff although half way through check in went and dealt with others. Tea/coffee making facilities but no tea/coffee (very odd), just a shower gel and soap bar in the bathroom, no shampoo/conditioner. There was water in the fridge though and our beds were made each day. Offered a deal on car hire but when we went back it's like we made it up. All this said though when we thought our ferry was cancelled, they happily made calls to get answers. I honestly think we just got the end of season experience. The hotel is very well place 30seconds walk from the port with restaurants and a supermarket in close proximity.

I booked this hotel when I decided to break up my trip from Paros back to Santorini. I specifically wanted somewhere close to port and this hotel was easy to spot from getting off the boat. When you arrive you'll find a door with a sign for the hotel but it isn't obvious that what you need to do is call in to the adjacent Acteon travel agency and they'll complete registration there. There isn't a reception as such. You then access the rooms via that door. There doesn't appear to be a lift. The stairs aren't terrible steep but they are winding in places. I had a twin room on the second floor - quite spacious with tv/hairdryer/fridge/AC and good wi fi access. No in room safety deposit box. The bathroom has a shower cubicle and is a big room. There's both a window and door out to the balcony on which there were two chairs. No table, although I noticed the other balconies were furnished with them. There was a great view from the balcony over the main square and port. I had a good night's sleep in a firm but comfortable bed. There's no meal plan at this hotel but there are places to get breakfast all around and a bakery where you can get takeaway coffee, etc. Check out is by noon. The island bus stop is just across the road to take you to the beach and Chora. There's also Yialos beach a few yards away. Being October Ios bore little resemblance to the party isle of summer but there were still amenities open and people around.

The girl at the desk was extremely hospitable !

Awesome stay The place was really nice, spacious, clean and very close on the port. I highly recommend this hotel.
