Great weekend in Hydra

Perfect accommodations, wonderful staff
Posted 12 May 2022 on HotelsI am so thankful to have selected the Orloff as our place to stay in Hydra. First, there’s the beautifully appointed rooms with excellent beds (as Americans who like a King-size, plush mattress) and soft linens. The room had a Nespresso machine, water kettle and refrigerator. We always had hot water and great water pressure in the shower and our bathroom. We had beautiful weather, but did turn on the air conditioning at night and it worked well. There’s a smart TV and great WiFi. The hotel’s location was perfect for us - just up the hill so it was away from the harbor noise, but still in the main area for an easy walk to restaurants. Most of all, we think the staff are the stars of this boutique hotel. They were all so friendly and helpful. Matina greeted us with lemonade made from the garden’s lemons and oriented us to the hotel. Michalis, the Operations Manager, greeted us at breakfast and helped us plan a hike for the day. Manola, the breakfast staff was delightful, attentive and accommodating to my gluten and dairy intolerances. Finally, we met owner Maria and she gave us an orientation to the beautiful artwork around the hotel. Our visit to Hydra was absolutely lovely and memorable largely because the Orloff was home for a few days. Thank you to all of the staff who go out of their way to make it special.

Very characterful, staff very helpful when required but not 'in your face' at other times. Good location. Charming.

The hotel uses a historic residence to house the rooms. The hotel is more like a bed and breakfast rather than a 4 star hotel. If you have a room on the first floor (ground floor) be prepared to hear the foot steps of the residents on the upper floor room, which can be rather unpleasant if it happens early in the morning or late at night. The queen size bed was particularly hard to sleep on - at least for my taste. The breakfast was simple with the items that would most likely satisfy most tastes. The rooms were air conditioned and quite roomy, however the bathroom space was rather limited. The hotel does not have elevator(s) so carrying your luggages on one or more flight of stairs is the norm. The staff was pleasant and welcoming. The hotel is in a good location and close to the port, which is a big plus. Overall, I felt that the rooms were overpriced for the amenities the hotel offered.

Fantastic Stay
Posted 20 Oct 2018
Pros: The staff and the history of the hotel.
Cons: A shower head holder at head height.
Location: The harbour, walks, shops, restaurants, and best of all The Pirate Bar!
Great hotel, close to the port and all that is fantastic about Idra. We will be back.

Turn back the clock when you arrive.
Posted 10 Oct 2018 on HotelsPosition is reasonable, building is dated and quant but is not well sound insulated. Hydra is well worth visiting but we found that restaurants and accommodation we're not quite the same standard as other islands. However, the views are sensational and the tranquility etc make it a different location.
