Nice Place except for the Hill Climb!
Everything is Great about this place, especially the view of the Town, except for the 1 Kilometre walk up a Very Steep Hill!! Made me only want to walk down and back into Chora once a day because of it… Hire a Car or Quad bike to commute around the island, you’ll be glad you did!!

Fantastic views
Accomodation consists of separate apartment type buildings. Pool area is first class. Breakfast is excellent with various options. Only possible problem may be the walk back to hotel as it is situated up a very extreme hill.

Amazing sunsets overlooking the skyline
This hotel is situated on top of the hill and the view is simply amazing, you'll feel like you're transcended somewhere else. There is a fantastic pool, a small restaurant, free parking, and massage services on site which makes it very convenient to not have to leave the property if you just want to take it easy and relax. It's fairly close to two supermarkets for supplies and also Chora with a number of great restaurants/entertainment, but be prepared for a really steep hike. Also, if you are a light sleeper, you should anticipate you'll hear everything next door. I didn't mind this too much as I was fortunately put in a corner unit and slept like a log from all the great hiking nearby. Finally, the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. I didn't know about the shuttle service they have from 10am-3pm and they helped squeeze me into catch a last minute ferry - really kind people! Note: Cash only if you are paying at the hotel directly

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately despite email communication to the manager prior to arriving, about a transfer to the hotel from the port, nobody arrived to pick us up. There was also no option to pay by card at the hotel which was slightly frustrating. Apart from that, the staff were very accommodating to help my friend with her injured ankle. The pool and area around the hotel were much nicer than in the pictures and there was vegetarian options for breakfast. We did struggle walking to the hotel from the town as it was very steep, so you will probably need to hire an ATV. We would stay here again.

GREAT LOCATION, FRIENDLY STAFF
This hotel is in a perfect location, a two minute walk to the center of Ios and about a 15 minute walk to the nearest beach. Wonderful swimming pool and bar staff. The concierge team was fantastic, especially Kyriaki who was very knowledgeable and helpful regarding the surrounding area. They gave me a ride back to the ferry station at no charge. The only criticism I have is that the WiFi is very weak but other than that, I would definitely return. I had a fabulous time.

Great experience
Really glad we picked to stay at this hotel. The views are great and is in very close walking distance to the main town. The fact it is NOT near the port was not an issue as they offer free port transfers both there and back. The pool area is great with excellent ‘lounging’ facilities (& views) it also offers a very reasonably Priced pool bar. We opted for breakfast included which we were glad we did as it was quite big selections/portions - 3 pieces of toast, orange juice, tea/coffee, yogurt or fruit, scrambled/hard boiled egg, croissant & selection of spreads! as this is offered until 1pm we thought of it as a brunch and didn’t need anymore food until dinner.

Family run hotel with beautiful views
This is a very local and family run hotel in a beautiful location. It is a good option on a tight budget. We didn’t know that Ios is a party island in June-July, which is our fault! The hotel was full of young people partying and we are a couple with a baby trying to rest. Not a good combination! It also meant we didn’t use the pool. The family who run the hotel were very nice and helped us a lot.they explained that June and July is party time in Ios and then it becomes more family friendly island in August. We really loved being picked up and dropped off at the port, breakfast and the views are amazing! Thanks very much.

The view from the hotel was amazing and the owner was super helpful. He picked us up from the port and dropped us off as well. The location was perfect as well as it was close to the village as well as Mylopotas beach. Breakfast was also good and the room was clean. It does say on hotels.com that this hotel is a 4 minute walk from the Ios ferry port which is not true. It is in fact a good 30-40 minutes. Overall, a very good place.

Great hotel but they only take cash payments
Great hotel with good amenities. Only problem was that they failed to tell us we needed to pay the hotel bill in CASH at check out. The room was held with a credit card but we were never informed of the cash only policy by Hotels.com or by the hotel upon check in. We found out 30 minutes before check out and had a panic trying to get cash before our ferry left.

The owner of the Skala Hotel, Kilyakos, is the paragon of Greek hospitality. He greets his guests at the port upon their arrival and returns them upon their departure. An energetic and enterprising man, he not only manages the hotel, but he also oversees his restaurant, The Mill, located at the top of Ios Village. The view of Ios Village and the port from the hotel pool is absolutely stunning. This has to be the greatest bargain available on Expedia for Ios hotels!

Best view of Ios! Family is really friendly and have a GREAT restaurant down the road. Free transport to and from the port and they let you know all about the island, what to go see and how to get around. Rooms are a little outdated but the view, pool and friendliness of the staff are unbeatable.

Unbelievable view!
First, note that the map on hotels.com doesn't have the right location for the hotel. It is not in the port, but rather on the top of the hill. That said this hotel had an absolutely breathtaking view and its a bit outside the madness of the town square. The room was basic, practical, and very clean. The breakfast was delicious! The owner and his brother were extremely thoughtful. I will remember their kindness whenever I think about the trip to Ios.
