Have had the pleasure to stay here before. Amazing location right on the beach yet away from the hustle & bustle further down Magazia beach, so had a wonderfully quiet & peaceful stay. The reception of the hotel has an air of Skyrian tradition (ask to see the sitting room) and elegance, which you’d never guess from the outside. You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome from the exceptionally friendly helpful and fun reception team. There are 2 floors and no lift but someone will help with luggage if required. Once you walk into your beautiful clean stylishly white room with soft blue curtains and wood carved furniture, all you hear is the sound of the waves, to wake up to and go to sleep. Every room has a balcony which feels secluded. The shower gel smells lovely. You’ll have a stunning sea view in front of you, the bay to your left, mountains to your right. You can even watch the sun rise from your bed!! Buffet breakfast can be eaten on the lawn, with a sea view. The buffet has a great variety of choices from traditional Greek delicacies with daily baked pastries, fresh fruit, cheeses, cold meats, cereal, breads plus cooked hot food etc. There’s a Nespresso machine, various teas and decaf choices. Greek coffee available on request, just ask the very helpful lady who attends this area. Towels available for beach or sun-bed use. Discrete efficient, friendly cleaning staff. This year I was the first and only guest for 2 days at the start of season. I couldn’t have felt more fussed over. What a memorable start to my stay on Skyros. Efharisto para poli to all the staff. There’s a supermarket 5 mins walk away on the main road near the hotel. A taxi costs approx €5 to get to Chora the main village on the mountain or it’s a brisk 20 min walk up to it. But there’s lots of restaurants on the beach, and one 5 mins away, Stafanos which serves excellent fresh fish.

No full length mirror in the room, patchy WiFi in the room at certain times of the day (neither a deal breaker), the prices have doubled since I booked, so not sure I’ll be able to stay again!

We had a lovely stay at the Hydroussa Skyros. It was still low season when we visited so for most days we were the only guests in the entire hotel. The Hydroussa's location is unbeatable, right on the beach, and within walking distance from the town of Skyros as well as a great variety of restaurants and bars on Magazia and Molos beach. The rooms (I believe all have sea views) were very comfortable and had nice balconies. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and the breakfasts were very generous. Skyros is a very special place with its own distinct culture. We would love to visit again and would certainly stay at the Hydroussa again on a future visit.

Nothing that I can think of.

The staff was exceptional. They responded immediately to any request. The room was a good size. There was a balcony overlooking the beach. The light was good.

For breakfast they needed to supply trays to transport the food. In the bathroom they could have used an overhead shower in addition to the hand shower. There was no elevator.

The location is just perfect, visiting Skyros every year we finally found the most conveniently located place, first of all, it's straight on the best beach in Magazia, close to very good taverna Stefanos and also within working distance to Skyros hora through the upward path, so we didn't use the car at all.

Parking could have some tents for the shadow, hope the owner will do it next year as they are constantly investing and improving the facilities of the hotel.

Excellent location, professional and very very friendly staff. Good standard breakfast and clean and spacious room. Definitely we will come back!

A little bit in the upper side of the price range but definitely within the expected values

Great location, the rooms were really nice,renovated and clean.Great views,really nice balcony and great air conditioning. We loved our stay at Hydrousa.The receptionist Anna was wonderful!

The location is fantastic right on the beach yet away from hustle and bustle…Very peaceful stay. You can go to sleep listening to the sea, even take a photo of the sunrise from your bed (as I did!). Each room has its own private balcony, with stunning views. Has beautiful interiors, and exteriors. The breakfasts were fantastic, lots of variety, plus different traditional Greek pastries every day. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. Certainly plan to return and stay for more than 4 nights!

Nothing, I loved being there!

Location - everything is nearby, best island taverna "Stefanou", beachfront, walking pass to town.

A bit hard mattresses.

Lovely staff, good location. Comfortable room and bed

Love to have fresh fruit for breakfast but peaches were very hard. Fresh fruit salad would nice

The location is probably the best on the island: very close to the sea( beach front with the great sea view from all the rooms, as well as within walking distance from the city centre by the minor pavement up the hill.

Even though the hotel was a bit upgraded last year, it still needs some essential improvements inside, like doors, beds, and mattresses.
