This is a beautiful hotel on a perfect island. The hotel is charming and has lovely balconies and meeting areas with fresh flowers everywhere. One can hike uphill to the rural villages along paths with wildflowers in abundance. It is an easy downhill walk to shopping, seaside restaurants and beaches. Great breakfast, friendly and helpful owner.

Beautiful boutique hotel in Hydra Town. Just blocks from the ferry docks. Small property, only a few rooms, excellent housekeeping. And a homemade breakfast that was huge, varied tremendously from day to day, multiple dishes, and NOT a buffet. From pastries to fruit, eggs, coffee, custard…so glad we opted to eat there instead of going to a restaurant. Fantastic place, would go back in a heartbeat.

The Phaedra Hotel is lovely. It is close enough to the port, dining, shopping, etc to walk back and forth many times a day with ease. The noise here consists mainly of roosters, donkeys, and church bells- all pleasant. The breakfast includes more than enough food, much of it home baked. I would be delighted to return.

Perfectly located close to port, many surrounding tavernas, swimming options, part of the Hydra magic. Hilda, the owner is an outstanding hostess. She made sure we were totally comfortable and gave us great recommendations. The continental breakfasts on the terrace were great. The Phaedra Hotel was endorsed by Rick Steves for good reason. No doubt, we will return. We now have a friend in Hydra - Hilda!

Great Stay in Hydra

Our stay at the Phaedra hotel was amazing. Even though we were there during the winter months, the island is beautiful and very relaxing. Our room was very large, clean, in a great location, and the owner, Hilda, was extremely helpful and accommodating. The room even had a kitchenette. Definitely recommend staying here.

A very elegant and comfortable B&B.

We stayed for just one night in early January. The hotel is a beautiful, impeccably maintained house not far from the harbour in this gorgeous white town. Our ‘studio’ room was in fact large and well-appointed. The proprietor, Hilda, was very helpful and friendly, and provided us with a very good breakfast. For warmer seasons there is an attractive outdoor terrace.

Every day perfection!

My husband and I stayed at the Phaedre Hotel only 2 nights but we immediately discovered where to eat and what to see in Hydra. Hilda, the hotel proprietor, also owns a jewelry shop at the harbor and knows an excellent driving service in Athens. Of course I bought beautiful jewelry. The next day in Athens, a professional taxi driver, Michael, met us at Pireas port--on time and at the right location--and drove us to the Acropolis that had been closed for a strike on the weekend. Two hours later he picked us up at Dionysian restaurant and took us to the airport.

I left my bag

As I awoke late to catch the 7:30 boat back to Athens to rent a car to drive the Peloponnese I left my hanging clothing in the closet. Hilda asked for my schedule. I gave her the next hotels and she sent the garment bag to the hotel two stops ahead to be sure it arrived before we did.
