What guests think

At Achilleas Pension, travelers consistently praise the convenient, walkable location near the harbor, very clean and quiet rooms, and charming shared spaces like the courtyard and a rooftop terrace with town views.

Rooms can be small, and a few guests mention comfort issues such as an uncomfortable mattress, thin bedding on cool nights, and shower water escaping onto the floor. Service is widely described as friendly and accommodating, including help with luggage and late arrivals, though a small number reported unhelpful management and odd room odors. There is no on-site breakfast, with plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby. Expect a straightforward, comfortable stay suited to exploring Hydra on foot.

Rooms are small and there is no where comfortable to sit in the evening. But the location, staff, and lovely courtyard made up for this.

Et veldig godt altenativ hvis man velger Hydra . Fantastiske hotelleiere og en nydelig patio hvor man kan slappe av helt ustørt. Meget prisvennligt

Bella struttura, in posizione comoda (a poca distanza dal porto, ma in una zona tranquilla e silenziosa), gestito da una simpatica coppia di coniugi. Stanze semplici, ma confortevoli e un bel giardino, dove è possibile rilassarsi o consumare la colazione. Un'ottima soluzione per chi vuole soggiornare nella splendida Idra a un prezzo ragionevole.

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!

Excellent ! L’établissement est très bien situé et l’accueil est formidable. L’accès au toit permet d’étendre le linge ou de boire au coup dans un cadre parfait. Nous recommandons.

We had an amazing time at Achilleas - so friendly, clean and fantastic service and happy couple taking good care of everything we needed. The room was nice, and the place in the middel of Hydra with a great view from the roof top was so nice. We will for sure come back.

Mattress was not comfortable at all. We ended up sliding together in the middle of the mattress. Walkable to about everything if you don't have joint problems but if you're going to Hydra expecting to not walk you should rethink your trip. Staff was amazing and very accommodating. Water gets everywhere from the shower and I mean everywhere.
