Great location super close to the port! Fantastic pool, never too crowded! The room pictures did not do it justice: we were pleasantly surprised to find a large room, basic but very confortable and cleaned every single day by a lovely and friendly lady. Despite its numerous rooms and young guests, absolutely no hassle and not noisy although the isolation is fairly light. We stayed 6 nights and would definitely choose it again for our family of 4. Yes, there are many cats around fed by the property (?) but again, no hassle nor smell.

Corridors could use some face-lift not to look so 70s, a hairdryer and a small drying rack would be much needed additions in the room. But really the only negative point goes to one of the staff who would definitely need some lessons in manners when addressing to kids. Will blame it on the fact that they (kids) are not the main clients of this hotel and must say it only happened once.

The staff is on site 24/7 they are super friendly and accommodating especially because we had an issue with our booking at 2am. They clean the rooms everyday and provide fresh sheets and towels too. They also give you beach towels for the pool or beach, and the location of the place is so ideal for visiting the port and the town, either by foot or by bus. Wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else. Also our friend had an injury and the staff helped us with medical stuff and first aid.

Rooms were a little cramped and not much privacy in the balcony to other rooms. Maybe more toiletries in the bathroom and the showers were a little outdated.

We had some reservations about the hotel after reading reviews, but it all turned out wrong. We had a great stay here and we can only recommend it. Bear in my thought that we were here in September at the end of season, so there wasn't many other guests. The host welcomed us and gave us some useful info about the island and places to visit. The room, the beds and the bathroom were all very clean, nothing to complain about. The balcony was nice, it had pleasant view and we loved to chill there. The swimming pool was also very nice, we saw it was cleaned every day. We also had our towels changed every day, they offered us beach towels for free. This is a low budget hotel but it exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you very much for having us!

Nothing much, but maybe some decorations would make the room feel a bit less "hospital-ish".

We liked it a lot! Our receptionist, Adriana, was very polite. The room was clean and comfy. But most of all we enjoyed the pool area and the bar. The pool was taken care of, clean, big and fun. Young people were having good times at the pool but we didn't get bothered by the sound or anything. The vibes were chill and we enjoyed the fact we were so close to the port area which also has a nice beach and shops/restaurants around but also gives you the chance to chill out in front of this big pool with the option to order something to eat or drink there! The younger guy of the staff at the bar was very helpful and made me a nice coffee too! The little way going up to the hotel is quiet, full of fig trees and offers a traditional cycladic feeling.

Great location, lovely staff and a clean and satisfactory room, especially considering the price. The pool area was also appreciated, plenty of comfortable sunbeds both in the shade and the sun, generous opening hours and overall clean. The hotel also offered food and drinks in the pool bar, at a affordable price.

In our experience there was some noise during the night/early morning (other guests coming home from the clubs, we assumed), in our party only a few took notice, but if one is a light sleeper that may be good to keep in mind.

The property is great for young couples and friends out and about in Greece. Location is perfect as it’s close to the ferry port and walking distance to the village but bear in mind, it’s quite an incline to the top! There is a bus service every 15mins for only 2€ straight to the village and beaches so it’s so easy to get around. The property is older but staff are helpful and the bar and kitchen it’s perfect.

The beds aren’t the most comfortable, they’re are older, although clean and sheets are changed daily, it isn’t the most comfortable sleep but if you’re young and don’t care then you’ll be fine. Be advised majority of people that stay at this hotel are between 16-30, I wouldn’t suggest this if you’re a family or are looking for a quieter, more relaxed stay as most people are drinking and chatting from midnight until 5-6am.

Was not expecting much for what we paid for the property but we very very surprised, it was perfect for what we needed, Apartment was spotless and cleaned daily, pool was great and staff on reception and night staff were great. It is a bit of an uphill walk but if you get the bus that is outside it makes it easier. Perfect to walk to the port

nothing we loved it

Throughly enjoyed our stay here . Rooms were spacious and clean and the staff were top tier . Accommodating friendly and most importantly kind . A very short walk to bakery port and a small stair climb to the main night life of Chora . The pool was perfect depth and the loungers provided much needed chill time during the day !

I booked ‘Twin room with pool and sea view with balcony’ for my 19-year-old son and his friend for a week. They said the hotel was “amazing”, with excellent and reasonably priced food, and lovely staff. Spotlessly clean inside and outside. Spectacular views of the fab pool, sea and surrounding area from their roomy balcony. Easy 5 min walk to and from the port, and steeper (but not arduous) 10 min walk to the Chora. They (and their friends who also stayed in Armadoros) loved it! (All communications I had with hotel were smooth and the staff were very helpful.)
