The hotel was like an ‘oasis’ on a top of a hill, and still within walking distance to some beaches and to Gialiskari, the nearest ‘village’. (during the day in the boiling sunshine I wouldn’t attempt the walk back as its uphill) The rooms were clean and spacious enough with very comfortable beds, and the ones facing the sea came with a stunning, panoramic view. Breakfast was good, staff helpful, and the atmosphere generally very relaxing. Even during the heat wave there was always freshness and usually a breeze. We will be back.

Parking was a bit strenuous sometimes when the hotel was full and it took some manoeuvring to get the car in and out. The owner plans to build more parking spaces soon so it should be solved.

We booked room with balcony and view to the mountains-better to say olives trees, but also was included big terace shared with another two rooms with a view to the sea and wonderful sunsets!!! Room smelled nice and was cleaned everyday. Self-service beakfast simple: hot drinks, water, orange juice, greek youghurt, olives, ham, cheese, boiled eggs, bread and some cookies. Besides! Drinking water from the tap! Recomend: *friendly hotel stuff; *good location; *the beach 5minutes walk; *ony 2stars, but it could be 3! Thank you Ikaros Star hotel 🩵

Not enough parking space for all travelers cars. Breakfast menu the same all week, and any fresh fruits or vegetables, so hard for vegetarians or vegan people.

The hotel was great and I will definitely will be back ! Clean, comfortable, beautiful view from the balcony, good breakfast and a 10 minute walk to a messakti beach which is very convenient ! The owner, Mr.Zaxarias and Eleni where very kind and made me feel like home. As I had arrived late for my check in he offered to take me to and back from the restaurant by car as there was an uphill even though it was very close by. The next morning he prepared breakfast for me at 5:30am as I was there for work and had to leave very early. Thank you very much and hope to be back soon.

everything was great !

The hotel was a simple, bright, clean, pleasant place to stay with amazing views from the rooms. The beach is a 10-minute walk away, with everything you need in the local area. The breakfast was basic but decent. The staff were accommodating and friendly.

There wasn't a lot of space for parking given now necessary a car is on the island. The food provided for breakfast was okay but a few more fresh options would have been good, and more coffee options.

Liked the location and overall cleanliness… although it is quite far from the airport and taxi is $140 in one way only.

Breakfast was mainly carb saturated and sweet… for vegan eaters there was just coffee bread jam… no fresh fruit at all and no vegetables… just eggs ham cheese honey and sweet baked goods… sweet cereals and milk/yogurt…. No plant based milk at all. That should be improved.

Lovely, traditional hotel with friendly, helpful and wonderful staff. Genuinely welcoming and kind people. Room was clean, quiet, comfortable, well-equipped and serviced every day. We stayed in a Mountain View room but there was a good shared balcony to use which overlooked the sea. Breakfast was buffet style and a lovely occasion as you could sit out on the terrace. Short walk to local shops, cafes and restaurants and Mesakti beach. Quiet, peaceful place. Excellent value for money too.

Nothing - all great.

The hotel was peaceful and silent, the beach is 10 minutes walk and in our opinion it is the best beach in the island (Mesakti Beach). The staff was very kind and helpful, they helped and gave us good advice, eg.: which way is the best to visit tourist attractions or hidden places. The room was very clean, and they provided good breakfast every day. Thank you!

The fridge in the room was a bit noisy, and we felt the bed a bit hard, maybe because we usually sleep on soft matress, but we got used to it.

The location is off the main road. Great views, quiet and located where you have access to main road going anywhere on the island. The hotel is clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The morning breakfast was perfect to start our day. The air conditioning was perfect after a long hot day. Close to restaurants and supermarkets and beach. Ample parking. Definitely would come back because we love it here.

It was great, no issues.

The hotel is in a good location in Gialiskari. Room was clean and breakfast was abundant. Mr Zaharias and his wife made sure that we had everything we need. They clearly gave insitructions on how to navigate Ikaria and its roads and educated us on the history of the island and its citizens. They sent us to great locations for food, festivals and hidden beaches.

parking was a bit hard especially because the hotel is on an uphill, but is pretty standard on an island like Ikaria.

Awesome location including the exceptional sea view and the walking distance to the beach. The staff was very friendly! It is also very clean and made us feel at home.

The breakfast was a bit scarce. There was no fresh fruit (but out of a can) and also no vegetables. Usually, we live a vegan lifestyle, so we brought our own oat milk, but we thought there would be some vegan choices like hummus or fresh fruit. That would be the only wish we have for improvement.
