The breakfast was terrific, and the view from the breakfast terrace was exceptional. The breakfast offerings (while not extensive) were fresh and prepared to order.

The biggest challenge were the steps up to the lobby. I realized that there would be steps going up to the terrace, but had no idea that it would be such a long steep climb to the lobby.

Staff and location

Loud music till 3:30am and the hotel had a party on the rood top that went on till 12:30am. So the last night we couldn't seat on the rooftop and enjoy the evening view of the harbor. Don't stay here on a weekend.

Absolutely adorable little spot in Hydra that is central with lovely unique rooms. The staff was lovely, and you almost feel like a home stay, very casual and comfortable place. Amazing cosy beds and a gentle breeze through the window, just a delight. The bathrooms could do with a little renovating but that’s just being picky and I didn’t mind the island life!

I saw some reviews about the noise but we were right on top of the bar and it didn’t bother us at all! Actually it was perfect ambience and the insulation on the windows was stellar. There is a lot of stairs though so be mindful not to bring too much luggage and practice a little cardio before hand! 😄

Fabulous location and Ioanna was a superb hostess. Super helpful and suggested a perfect itinerary for our 2 day stay. Great restaurant recommendations. The view from our room out to the port was gorgeous and beautiful to wake up to the comings and going of the port.

Bathroom needs floor and shower to be painted and resealed. Not a great bathroom for the price. It let the rest of the room down. Breakfast was adequate but very ordinary and could be so much better without too much more effort. Great coffee!

Douskos Port House is a fabulous, homely and welcoming boutique hotel with picture perfect views directly over the idyllic harbour at Hydra. The accommodation is spacious, serene, stylish and very clean with all the amenities one could wish for. A short climb up the intimate characterful stairway leads to the rooms and further up to a glorious rooftop garden & terrace with spectacular views. Vasileo, the hotel manager, is the perfect host, welcoming, friendly, very attentive but also discreet, utterly charming and nothing was too much trouble, a perfect gentleman.

Honestly, there is nothing not to like about this property - it is exquisitely charming and delightful

Location was excellent. On the main street overlooking the port. We would open the shutters & face the window to watch the ships every morning & night. The manager, Julietta, went above & beyond to make us comfortable. Was hands on every day. Visited the guests daily at breakfast time on the lovely rooftop to inquire if we were satisfied with everything. They are fortunate to have someone like her. The breakfast was also great with plenty of choices from the bkfst menu

It was a great stay with a small exception of loud music from the Cafe below, but the manager spoke to the Cafe owner & they lowered the volume for the remainder of our stay.

Excellent location with amazing views over the port. Breakfast on a terrace roof again with fantastic views. Essentially you won't find a better located place to stay on Hydra.

Items weren't refreshed. So a water bottle only provided on the first day but no matter as there was a shop downstairs. However coffee pods were only provided on the first 2 days and no shampoo on the last. There is a bar next door which played loud music until very late Friday/Saturday.

Super friendly host Ioanna who shared local tips and offered exceptional customer service at all times. We were there celebrating our upcoming wedding and loved Douskos house so much. Our room had plenty of space and the accomodation is in a perfect spot on the harbour. Really appreciated the complimentary wine in our room too

The noise from the club next door however noting this cannot be controlled from Douskos and they did provide earplugs

Perfect location. Rooftop patio is is spectacular of the waterfront and marina. Room was very comfortable and clean. Excellent service. The included breakfast is amazing and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Nikolaos was a great host and helped in making dining recommendations and reservations. He was available anytime by phone if needed.

The stairs the stairs to the are property are challenging with luggage. 35 steps to the entrance. But the view is worth it.

This is truly an exceptional place to stay in a fantastic location in one of the prettiest harbours we have seen in the whole of Greece. Everything about the place is wonderful, including the incredibly helpful Vasileo. Thanks again Vasileo, for the fab bottle of wine on my birthday which was consumed on the roof terrace overlooking the boats in the harbour. Probably the most memorable of birthdays (and there have been plenty of them!). A day, and amazing three day stay, that will remain in our memory for many years. Don't even think about staying anywhere else!

Difficult to be objectively critical about anything when everything is just about as perfect as it could be. But for anyone with mobility problems access is up a steep flight of steps and might be an issue. And there is a club nearby that might be a bit noisy at weekends. But without doubt the pluses of the Port House make these disadvantages of little consequence.
