The was a great view of the port and a little nook in the window to sit. The hotel had great character. The best part was the helpful staff that went out of their way to make the experience the best. We love Syros and the Aktaion Hotel. We will stay there on our next visit for sure.

I really enjoyed my stay at Aktaion Hotel. The location is perfect, right by the ferry port and within walking distance of Ermoupoli’s restaurants, cafés, shops and main sights. The hotel itself has so much character, with its beautiful antique/neoclassical interior and lovely views of the water. The staff were particularly warm, friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. A charming place to stay when visiting Syros, and I would definitely come back!

This was our second stay at this hotel. Room was very small, but comfortable and clean. Had issues with air conditioning which required us to open window, making room noisy. When window closed was quiet. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a small buffet. Last time they had a breakfast menu and choices were lovely. We missed having that, but it was okay. Great location for exploring Ermoupoli.

Absolutely recommend

Lovely old hotel with a great location and very nice staff. The view from our room was perfect but be aware that there are several steep steps to get to the rooms so be mindful if you have a traveler with some difficulties. Breakfast was fresh and cooked perfectly and the entire staff was so helpful and very positive. I would absolutely stay there again.

Great Stay

This hotel is in a great location and the service and helpfulness of all of the owners/staff is oustanding. The rooms are a little quirky but that is common in hotels of this age. Our room had a lot of space, except for the bathroom which was quite small. A generous breakfast was included in the price.

Wonderful location and facilities. Small hotel rehabbed from some other use so there are some idiosyncratic design features, such as stairs that others commented on. Hosts are very accommodating and helpful. Amazing breakfast is the clincher. Would return eagerly.

Choose this hotel for an extraordinary experience. However, be aware that the stairs to the second floor are not suitable for those with bad knees. The staff is super friendly. Breakfast superb.

Convenient location on the harbor within a short walk of the ferry landing and virtually everything else in town. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable, bathroom/shower tight, not surprising for a turn of the century hotel. Should mention the hotel lacks an elevator so not suitable for those unable to walk two flights of stairs.

This gem of a hotel on the waterfront of Syros' main town, Ermoupoli was a delight to stay in. If you want a Greek island in the Cyclades, which is virtually tourist free, Syros is the answer. The rooms were clean and well appointed and the staff service was superb. They responded cheerfully and helpfully to any request for assistance. The breakfast is freshly cooked from an a la carte menu that offers plenty of options. Cappuccinos and other coffees are provided at no extra cost and staff are very happy to provided multiple cups. All the staff were cheerful and friendly and happy to assist with everything. The hotel is adjacent to a large number of cafes, restaurants and bars which operate from early in the morning until late at night.

Wonderful hotel, I would stay here again. Beautiful views. A little distance from main harbour but the hotel and staff made up for that. Food was excellent. Staff couldn’t do enough. We wanted to stay longer but fully booked. We loved it

There was a range of foods -we honed in on fresh fruit, Greek yoghurt etc. coffee made to your preference. Meat seemed to be processed. Staff were quite attentive and kind and compensated with help with luggage on precarious stairs. Soap dish shattered in shower when I grabbed at it. Shower was most roomy and easy to use on our trip. Decor somewhat vintage. View of port was amazing from our window. Great location to ferry, restaurants. No regrets. We would definitely recommend to those who don’t require high end accommodations.
