Traveling with a family, it is often very hard to find a place where everyone can have their own bed! We were able to get a lovely little room with 4 twin beds! The Pension is walking distance from the harbor and all the wonderful restaurants Hydra has to offer. We also walked to a few swim spots from the hotel. The owner was very friendly and although we were only there for 2 days, we would most definitely come back.

50 year old Solo Female Traveler - this place was great! Close enough to walk from the Ferry (even with a big heavy suitcase) - rolling bag on cobblestone was pretty ok.
The staff was very helpful with allowing me to store my bags, stay an extra night, etc. Quiet neighborhood, about a 5 minute walk to the nearest corner store, restaurants are plenty. Would no hesitate to recommend this place and I will use it again next time :)

We came here directly from Athens Airport to recuperate from the day long trip from home. What a great, quiet way to be introduced to Greece!!! Located on the level of the port so no trouble dragging bags here. Everything beyond this point is up hill! Perfect, expansive views of the village and sea from the room and hotel roof. Welcoming and helpful hosts.

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay here again. The location is ideal—just a short walk from the harbor, but tucked away enough to feel quiet and relaxing.

The front desk host was incredibly kind and helpful, especially with carrying our bags up and down the stairs during both arrival and checkout, which made a big difference. The beds were very comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was charming, with a beautiful open courtyard that had that classic, old-style Greek feel.

One of the highlights was the rooftop access with stunning views—definitely worth taking the time to enjoy. It’s also perfectly situated for exploring, with great shopping, dining, and wandering all just steps away.

Highly recommend for anyone visiting Hydra.

A great place to stay in Hydra!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The hotel was very comfortable, with good ac and WiFi. The location was close to restaurants, markets and shipping. It was only a short, and mostly level, walk to the harbor and ferry landing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooftop terrace were very nice with a great view of the town. We walked to the beaches along beautiful cliffside roads with amazing views. We spend three nights and could have stayed longer! The people of the town are very friendly, and it is a beautiful and peaceful place!

UNREASONABLY UNREASONABLE

We booked a 3 night stay arriving on Monday with an early morning departure Thursday to take the ferry to Athens to board a cruise to New York. Upon arrival the manager said we would have to stay longer as the ferries go on strike Wednesday! If we missed our cruise we would lose 25K so we spent one night and left on the first ferry out. To our surprise, he would not refund the 2 unused nights. Had he sent an email advising of the strike, we wouldn't have gone in the first place. Because he didn't, we lost the ferry fare ($166.59), + two full days.

Achilleas and his son Dmitris were very accommodating. They upgraded our room to include a lovely patio with a gorgeous view of the harbour as well as kitchenette and large suite.
Achilleas helped me with my bags at 6:30 in the morning.
Their family run pension was in a lovely area a short walk from the ferry.
Highly recommend.

What a wonderful experience! The owners made my fiancé and I feel like we were a part of their family. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and make our stay in Hydra amazing! The hotel was in walking distance to the center of town and close to many great restaurants. The room was clean and pleasant. We would highly recommend staying here!

great room, great location and good value

Very convenient to where the ferry comes in and close to restaurants. There's an upper terrace where you can relax in the sun and the rooms were superb!

Final night in Athens. Very central, maybe a little too close to nightlife given the noise but managed to sleep.

Great stay on Hydra!

Our family had a great visit here. What a beautiful island! The Achilleas Pension was in a very convenient and quiet location. The hosts were fantastic. Definitely recommend this place!

We loved the location and the hosts. We had fun trying to communicate as they don't speak English very well. But that is not an expectation we had going in. It was Greece after all. We would stay there again.

The picture that shows as advertising does make the courtyard look very nice. In reality it was never set up like that. It was staged so one should not be surprised when you are there to see how it really looks.

Best night sleep in weeks!

Amazing stay with my family! The mattresses were super soft and comfortable, the room had excellent facilities and looked to have been recently renovated. Great water pressure in shower and constant hot water. Dimitri was very helpful and provided us with many additional extras to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. The communal rooftop patio was a great place to take in the view and also provided a space to meet some of the other families staying in the complex. Highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in Hydra! Located a few streets back from the water our room was super quiet but exceptionally located to great restaurants and only 4 minutes walk to the main port.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would recommend to other travellers.

Stayed here for more than a week and it was a great location as it wasn’t too far from the port and other highlights. The family who staff the hotel were also very lovely. Would stay there again.

Most excellent

It is the most excellent place to stay in Hydra; nice, clean, comfortable rooms; friendly and extremely helpful proprietor (who went out of his way to help me find accommodation in Hydra for the nights he had no rooms available, and make recommendations on everything I was interested in exploring); and quiet and convenient location, steps away from the port and all the points of interest.

If you are looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in Hydra at a welcoming place, look no further.

Set 5 minutes behind Hydra ‘s busy harbour, this pension is a haven of quiet. We stayed in one of the apartments with a verandah that looks out to the hills and harbour.. Lots of places to eat nearby or you can self cater. Great mattresses, aircon for that hot Greek summer.

This place was wonderful! Close to Hydra port, clean, and friendly staff. They let us store our bag after checkout so we could explore the island comfortably. I only wish we stayed more than 1 day! Next time we return, we will stay here again.

This is a great budget (for Hydra) option. Very clean and has everything you need. The room is small, but for the price it’s fine. Good location. Walking distance to the port but quiet.

Booking a hotel in an area one has never been and know little about can be a challenge. We were totally pleased with the pension’s location, ease of check-in and cleanliness. If we visit Hydra again, we will stay. Our ferry was running late and the owner waited up past midnight for us.

Affordable Hydra

Affordable accommodation in Hydra is rare, and this pension is quite nice, if basic. There's no front desk, but the owners are usually around (they live in part of the house that was converted to make the pension). No breakfast, but you can get that easily enough on Hydra. My room was on the ground floor, with windows to the street outside and to the interior walkway, so no natural light to speak of if you wanted any privacy. There's an interior courtyard and a rooftop patio you can use, but only the largest rooms have their own patios. Would I stay here again? Maybe.

Great location.

Room was cleaned daily and fresh towels which was good but air co was not strong enough in such a hot climate and location of room and the TV did not work was fixed on request. The prices of rooms on Hydra is I'm afraid very high for what's on offer in comparison with other local islands.

A lovely pensione with rooftop view of the city, a courtyard to sip your coffee, and overall homey environment to be in. Dimitri and his family will treat you well. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable bed. We look forward to staying here again when we come back to Hydra.

I made a mistake on the date of my arrival, in a non-refundable booking through Expedia. Called Achilleas Pension directly on the designated day of our stay, and they cheerfully moved the reservation to the next day.
