It was our second time at this property and it is a superb option for a stay on Hydra, It is a perfect location within a 5 minute walk of the Athens ferry. The property is a beautiful and quirky building decorated with local artefacts and it is exceptionally clean. Each room is individually laid out and designed due to the historic nature of the building which adds real character. It should be noted that there isn't a lift to cover the three floors. Every morning a fantastic breakfast is served in the courtyard which includes Greek specialities that change daily. Best of all Jenny and her staff are excellent. During our stay there was a problem with the ferries which Jenny resolved on our behalf much to our relief. A fantastic choice for Hydra!

Beautiful original building, renovated to provide all the luxuries of the perfectly clean and comfortable hotel style with the right amount of original features. Crisp clean towels & linen with their own olive oil toiletries in the room. The breakfast was exceptional, freshly home prepared Greek style breakfast with all their own ingredients & speciality of a passionate cook. A very calming atmosphere from the moment you enter the exceptionally beautiful garden and throughout the hotel. All the staff were so friendly & showed passion & care for every guest. It really felt like a family business.

A balcony to sit outside the room would have been lovely. But the court yard garden made up for this. The building was renovated and kept as many original features which explains why a balcony was not possible. A coffee machine in the reception would be have been fantastic. Although they do provide cool drinks to purchase in the garden & unlimited coffee for breakfast.

We really enjoyed our stay. A lovely hotel, in a nice and peaceful location but close to all the action. We felt very welcomed during our stay and whilst the room was fairly basic it had everything you need - clean and a good size. The large and varied breakfast was fantastic. We would happily return to this hotel. It's incredibly good value.

This has been our second stay at Mistral. We have loved being very warmly welcomed back and plan to return again next year. The staff are all absolutely lovely, and communication prior to booking was seemless. The breakfast is delicious, home cooked and different each day. It's a lovely and quiet location with a shaded courtyard and beautiful roof top terrace that has views to the sea and the mountains - very close to port (about a 5 min walk). Our room was spacious and clean and the beds are super comfortable.

The Mistral Hotel is truly a special place on the beautiful island of Hydra. Jenny, Theo, and Nikos are such a lovely family that have made their hotel into a beautiful oasis of comfort and hospitality. The garden terrace where the most delicious breakfasts are served is full of beautiful flowers and plants and is a great space to relax. The hotel is conveniently located a short walk to the port and many great restaurants and shops. We had the most amazing time and would highly recommend this beautiful hotel to other travellers.

Everything was fantastic.

The hotel is located in a very scenic part of the island (Not that the Island is short of such locations). Breakfast always had several options available, and check-in with Nikos was easy. You could reach anywhere signifiant on the island without having to walk far, and the hospitality and the weather were exceptional. Jenny was particularly helpful about finding me another room when I had to stay an extra night due to my flight being postponed. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely small family hotel , easy to get to from the port, The family who run hotel were welcoming and told us where to visit on our trip. I loved the breakfast every morning, it was different every day and was always delicious .?

They take such a good care of their customers at Mistral. We felt welcomed, well hosted and assisted from the very first moment we stepped in, throughout our entire stay. I definitely wouldn't search for anything else for an eventual come back to Hydra. My stay at Mistral was simply memorable. The facilities are spacious, clean, comfortable and beautiful, including the room. The breakfast is superb. I work in tourism for many years now, and I have never seen such a good care and originality at breakfast. I would be giving 11+ stars if it was an option.

The breakfast was really outstanding, the best I ever had during a holiday. It isn't a classical buffet breakfast but a menu served to the table, and it changes every day. I stayed for almost three weeks, and there was not much repetition. It also contained traditional Greek dishes, which was really great. I also got many valuable hints regarding my stay in general, e.g., for hiking and weather conditions.

There isn't anything that I didn't like at all. Room cleaning can be improved. It would be really good if the toilet paper is refilled once the last role is started and not if there is almost no paper left on the role. Some people might be afraid of running out of it during the night.

Really lovely small hotel with a lot of personal touches. Our room was beautifully furnished with antique furniture but a modern touch with a fabulous view of the town.Almost like staying in someones house. The breakfast, as others have said, is amazing. It changes daily, but on our stay, there was a delicious omelette, bruschetta, olives, tomatoes, a local rice pudding and baklava (which sadly we could not manage to eat). Your host is attentive, constantly refilling coffee.
