Unfortunate start in Ios

The staff was wonderful and friendly. The hotel was just opening and I personally think they should have taken a few more days to prepare. There was no hot water. We were told there would be after 0900 due to the solar waterheater, but we never could get anything but cold or tepid water. The ac only worked in one of the rooms. The bathroom was so small our friend traveling with us had a hard time fitting in the toliet space. The shower was not working, the faucet blew apart. The staff tried moving our rooms to accommodate us. Then the toliet stopped working. There were no blankets, when we were given blankets they were old, outdated and musty. There wasn't a kettle to make coffee, just a refrigerator (in one of the two rooms working). After staying a little over 24 hours, we gave up and moved to another hotel.

Lovely stay

Absolutely loved my stay at Mare Monte hotel. The location is absolutely perfect, you couldn't get closer to the beach (very nice beach) and it was close to the port and quick drive to the city centre. The grounds of the hotel are also very nice, gorgeous flowers everywhere and a big pool with plenty of sun loungers. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself isn't perfect a little outdated and needs a slight tune up but honestly the was easy to look past with everything else it has. Definitely would recommend staying here if you visit Ios.

Mare monte was out of a dream between the amazing staff that felt like family to the beautiful flowers blooming around the walk way to the rooms. You are as much on the beach as you can and it is a quick walk to food and cute shops! The pool was very clean and also lovely to relax by!

Close to everything and yet Private and quiet

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The girls were very welcoming and friendly. Close to the port, beach, shops and restaurants..yet our motel was quiet and private. Only problem was the wifi which they are hoping will be fixed soon by the phone company. We spent a lot of time at the Yialou bar next door.

Good location but....

The location by the port is very convenient and the beach right in front is shallow but good to swim and relax at with water sports on offer. With buses to Mylopotas not far away you can stay away or get involved, the choice is yours. A number of restaurants and cafes are nearby at the port with ATM as well.

The rooms are basic but at the lower end of the price bracket so probably fair.
The bathroom was a bit of a let qdown. Too small for 4 people, the hot water splutters occasionally if run for too long and you have to hold the shower head as there's no fitting.
The sisters that run the place are characters, there customer service leaves a bit to be desired.

Quite, peaceful and beautiful

it is very close to the ferry port.. convenient for a quite trip and you literally cross the road and onto the beach. There is a beautiful little restaurant next door and a mini market next to that.. the beach benches are 5EUR.. the cheapest we found.. All the people we met around that area were super sweet and extremely kind.. the bus stop is conveniently located by the port, a few mins walk from the hotel which will take u up to the city or other beaches.. if you want a calm and relaxing spot.. Mare Monte is the place to be. Oh! and i have to mention that the hotel owners are SUPER sweet with their beautiful little dog Bella :)

L’ hôtel est idéalement située sur la plage du port et il y a une jolie piscine avec des transats assez vétustes. En revanche, pas de petit déjeuner alors qu’on voyait des photos de buffet. Il devait y avoir un bar de piscine mais celui ci était fermé.
J avais demandé dès la réservation une chambre avec des lits jumeaux. J’ai reçu un message la veille me redemandant ma préférence. J’ai répondu que j’avais réservé des lits jumeaux et que c’était important car je logeais avec un ami. Mais arrivés de nuit, on a une chambre avec un lit double ridiculement petit. Certes, le propriétaire nous a changé de chambre dès le lendemain mais la situation a été gênante.
Encore une fois, l’hôtel est chouette mais vraiment cher en rapport qualité prix.

Wir waren eine Woche im Mare Monte und es war eine super schöne Zeit. Das Meer ist gleich vor der Tür, außerdem bietet die Unterkunft einen tollen & großen Pool zur Abkühlung.
Der Bus nach Chora & Pathos halten vorm Hotel per Handzeichen. Ansonsten ist im Hafen eine Busstation, welche 5 Gehminuten entfernt ist.
Super Lage, Zimmer waren sehr gemütlich und wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen :)
Einmal haben wir Nachts unseren Zimmerschlüssel beim Ausgehen verloren, der Hotelbesitzer ist dann sofort ans Telefon gegangen und konnte uns weiter helfen. Top Service!
Es wird jeden Tag im Zimmer geputzt. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Litt slitt hotell med en ypperlig beliggenhet

Koselig sted, med svømmebasseng. Fin beliggenhet ved en rolig strand. Ett stykke inn til ett hektisk sentrum. Gammelt, men ganske rent og en meget enkel frokost. Kort vei til havnen der båtene går fra.

Et dejligt sted.

Vi blev godt modtaget. Turen fra receptionen er en sti med blomster - et smukt syn. Værelserne var ok - tv og air condition. Daglig rengøring. Vores værter var imødekommende og venlige. Adgang til stranden var formidabel - ca 20 meter. Og et fanstisk vue fra morgenmaden - vand, sand og bjergene omkring havnen. Alt i alt et dejligt sted.

Buen hotel para pasar unos días

Es un hotel básico, ubicado cerca del puerto de Ios y a escasos metros de la playa de Gialos, la entrada casi toca la arena. Ideal para turismo familiar ya que la zona de fiesta está en la otra playa(Mylopotas), en la que se encuentra el Far Out.
Para ir a la ciudad(Chora) a Mylopotas o a otras playas tan solo tienes que andar un poco hasta el puerto(está muy cerca).
La conexión wifi era algo pobre, la relación calidad-precio es buena. Estuvimos a gusto, así que recomendado.
El restaurante más cercano dirección al puerto se come muy bien. El siguiente ya es más caro y una pequeña ración con la que ni comes ni cenas te cuesta más de 10€

Nära hamnen

Detta hotell ligger väldigt nära hamnen och precis vid Yialos strand. Dock ligger det inte alls nära Ios chora som vi fick information om. För att komma dit måste man gå i ca en kvart i trappor. Hotellet drivs av 2 äldre kvinnor som inte är ett dugg service minded. Första natten fick vi bo i ett näst intill vidrigt rum. Balkongen var täckt med smuts och damm, badrummet hade inget varmvatten, konstant stopp i toaletten och dåligt ljus. När vi påpekade att det inte fanns något varmvatten fick vi svaret: \"I don't believe you!\". Jaha? Detta skulle då åtgärdas vilket det dock inte gjorde. Andra natten fick vi bytt till ett annat rum som var något fräschare. Attityden hos de här kvinnorna var riktigt dålig och jag rekommenderar inte hotellet till någon. Visst, det var billigt men vi bodde mycket fräschare för mindre pengar på andra ställen.
