This property is everything a traveler needs!To begin with the staff is extremely gracious and helpful, from helping to book excursions and transport to suggestions on the best restaurants and places to watch sunset, they are your go to! Every member of the staff and the manager is so friendly!

The property is situated on a hill moments from the port with great water views, also minutes from Chora the main town .There are 2 pools and a bar at the pool and they also offer pool towels which is rare!

One of the best amenities is the guest shower just below the pool with guest bathrooms fully equipped with a blow dryer. Perfect for early check out but when you are still hanging around waiting for your boat or flight. We absolutely loved our stay, we had a balcony and the room was impeccable. Can’t wait to come back!

From the moment we arrived, this hotel exceeded every expectation we had. It wasn’t just the breathtakingly beautiful property or the absolutely gorgeous room that made our stay unforgettable — it was the genuine warmth, kindness, and hospitality we felt throughout our entire visit.

We were welcomed with such care and made to feel truly at home. A special thank you to the two incredible girls who went above and beyond to make our experience so special-Victoria and Dimitra. Thank you for every single thing that you did for us and the way you cared. Their recommendations, their knowledge of the local hidden gems, and their willingness to help us discover the best spots made our stay even more magical. They were truly phenomenal and a reflection of the heart and soul of this place.

My friends and I stayed at Krikitos Village Hotel on our recent visit to Ios. The hotel is located in great proximity to the Port and more importantly the main town, Chora. There is a bus stop right outside which takes you to Chora in 5 minutes (buses come every 15 minutes) otherwise it’s about a 15 minute walk uphill. The walk back from the main town however is 10 minutes downhill which is great! Chora has a great nightlife scene with lots of restaurant choices and bars.

The hotel facilities are great, neither of the two pools were over crowded and the staff are lovely!

Would stay again!

Great location, close to Yalos beach and to the bus stop, village of Chora is accessible either by walking or bus that goes every 20 minutes ( bus station is right at the hotel). Stunning views from breakfast! Nice and clean! I would give it a 10 out of 5! Great value!

We are very surprised that this hotel is only 3 star. Everything about it exceeds that. The staff, the room, the pool, the location. Everything was excellent. The friendly staff welcomed us with a voucher for a free cocktail by the pool. We were then showed to our room which was spotless. The shower room was bigger than any we have had in our travels through the Greek islands. The bed was soft just as we like it. I could go on, but basically it is the nicest hotel we have stayed in for the budget in our travels. If we had paid twice the rate I would still have been happy

Best place we stayed on our Greece holiday

Excellent hotel, central location, 5-10 min walk from port if you come by ferry. Bus stop right outside - 2 euros a person one way - if you want to go to the beach or do not want to walk up the stairs nearby to go to Chora (was a hike up and up in scorching heat, not necessarily fun). We came early and room was not ready, but staff very friendly, professional, and especially helpful. They answered all our questions about restaurants, bus, when to leave in the morning for the next ferry. Their dinner rec was spot on. Soooooo good. One of the best we ate on our 2 week holiday. Room itself is excellent, very clean, open space, roomy. Fridge in room with a 1 liter complimentary water bottle. Would stay again. Definitely recommend.

Well located for Ferries

Stayed for one night, very good location less than ten minutes walk up hill from port. Located just beside start of path leading up to Chora ( with alternative of local bus stopping just in front of door every 15 minutes - EUR1.60). Nice and stylish hotel, reasonably priced. Bonus of welcome drink at pool bar.
Our room was one of last available, so no view, just interior courtyard, but fine for one night.

Ios Rules!

Lovely hotel, in great location from the port and old town, bus right outside. Great little touches in the room, fruit bowl and we got a welcome drink. Room was really nice set up and spacious, lovey terrace. Perfect place to stay on Ios. Only slightly annoying part is the pre check in online, it’s a bit of a faff but not really a big deal in the scheme of things. there is also a weird video to watch when you check in with all the rules and regulations it was like a construction site induction? don’t let that put you off through we found it quite funny? we had no problem with the rules ?? the staff were helpful and laid back.

Terrible and scamming service!!!

Our stay at kritiakas was met with a bitter end.
From the beginning we were treated with poor service and lied to from checkin. Within 48hrs of our arrival, we were informed that the breakfast service was at no additional cost to us and was part of our booking. At the point of checkout, we were then confronted with a bill of over 150€... the staff claiming that we owed this and we were the ones at fault for not carefully knowing our own booking, when we were the ones that asked them and they would not own up to their fault in advising us wrong. After trying to discuss the problem, they threatened to call the police on us and blamed us for misunderstanding.
(Eleni) was the front end staff we dealt with.
We are extremely disappointed with the service and handled with a VERY unprofessional manner. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone!

Value Hotel in Good Location

The folks were kind and very polite. This hotel did not have any frills or wow factors, but did include some patio seating on the terrace. It was in a good location we could either walk down to the ferry port or go up the stairs to shops and restaurants. We rented an ATV at the port and visited Manganari Beach. The only con I had was the shower size. It is so small, and we kept running into the wall, faucet or curtain. I would stay here again because it was in walking distance of food and ferry port. If you want to party we recommend staying in Milopothas. This hotel is not in a party zone and you can hear the cars driving by since it’s on an intersection.

We liked the room upon first walking in, but once we got to the Bathroom it was a different story. The bathroom was dirty. The worst part about it was next to the toilet paper roll, there was a big clot of blood on the wall. The toilet seat wasn't clean either. They just threw some cleaning products in the bowl and labeled it that it was just cleaned.
The hotel was very close to the port so that was a plus. They also had two very nice pools. One for swimming, and one for lounging (it was only two feet deep the most) with beds inside the water. Oh I almost forgot, the wifi was terrible!
