From the moment we arrived we were greeted very warmly and felt immediately like we were staying in our own luxury retreat. The family run operation is extremely well appointed, with immaculate rooms, gorgeous views of old town Hydra stretching out from our balcony. Breakfast was delightfully extended to 1030 am for us late risers, with tasty breakfast mainstays and welcome local additions. The hotel is perfectly placed, within a very short walk of the main town and port and a awe-inspiring short hike to the historic monastery up the mountain side, directly behind the hotel. Thank you for the great experience, we'll be definitely returning!!

Fine and plentifull breakfast - not too much on the menu to choose from, but just the right things, as we prefer. Breakfast area is nice and cosy. Room (Riders) and beds were fine also for a newly back operated young girl. Most importantly: We can not thank the staff enough for helping and guiding us, as we had to change travel plans due to a strike on the ferries to Piraeus.. we were welcome to stay... but we could also get fine and helpfull advice and assistance for leaving as scheduled and reach Athens as planned - Thank you Angelica all!! This was our third stay - pleased to go back also in 2025 - with the rest of the family and some friends again.

We had as often too much luggage -- so -- despite we had a nice and fine room (Riders) with tall ceiling and a lovely terrasse... we could have made use with more luggage space... for suitcases and clothes... .. but ... you often get what you pay for .. so next time we might opt for family rooms..(-:

Room on the top floor with private terrace with sun-beds was lovely with wonderful views. Reception and cleaning staff very friendly. Building and outdoor planting beautifully maintained. Rooms were always cleaned while we were at breakfast. Location is fantastic; just a 5 minute walk from the port with shops and restaurants nearby but in very peaceful surroundings.

Breakfast buffet space feels slightly cramped given the number of guests, and only accessible down several steps. Would be lovely if the buffet area was outdoor in the dining area, more spacious, and featured more traditional produce. Otherwise, the breakfast setup and food were fine.

Attended for a wedding. The location of the hotel was perfect. On arrival we were greeted very well by a very nice man with smiles and he carried all the heavy luggage to our room-great after a long journey. Room was a good size and very clean. Bathroom was also a good size with a shower/bath. Nice balcony to relax on a warm evening. Had a great outdoor patio area with a nice cool jacuzzi with good shade if desired. Outside breakfast area was very good with a good selection of cooked food, cold meats, cheeses and pastries

Nothing we did not like

The hotel was beautiful and in a great location - far enough from the centre, but an easy walk. Rooms were very appealing and our balcony was huge and well appointed with lounge chairs, table, umbrella. Staff were friendly and communicated well.

We ended up staying for 6 days (we'd booked for 3) due to ferry strike. There was only one chair in the ,which made seating for 2 impossible. Also, a discount for the extra 3 days stay, which was not of our choosing, would have been nice. Especially as the room would have been empty otherwise as new guests had to cancel due to strike.

Room charming with neat and fresh paintwork and soft furnishings, good bathroom and effective hot water system (when we remembered to turn it on after a day out!). Tea and coffee-making facilities were satisfactory. Balcony good with good furniture, views are characterful but would have appreciated more distant and even sea-views.

I requested a bath but this may not have been possible. The hotel is a small one so the satisfactory breakfast offering did not match up to larger establishments. The lady who oversaw the breakfast should learn to smile more - it took three days to get our first smile and when it came it was charming! She was efficient and amenable to special requests.

Lovely room, took advantage of the jacuzzi and patio area too which was very enjoyable. Fabulously decorated throughout. Owner very helpful with cases.

The climb up the hill! The cobbles made it difficult but worth it all the same. Had to queue for breakfast as only small dining area.There was a price list of food and drinks in the room but when we asked for a beer at around 22:00 having rung a bell for the owner to come running from his house next door , he looked at us as if we were mad..muttered something about licence ..shouldn’t have a list in room then

This property and its staff are amazing! We can’t wait to come back again! They have very nice and comfortable rooms with great air conditioning for the summer heat. The provided so many extra amenities like big waters that were so so helpful in the heat and robes and slippers that made our stay just a little bit more comfortable! It is very easy to walk to everything from the hotel and the island itself is something we will never stop raving about! If you are considering coming to Hydra then please take our advice and stay at the Angelica Traditional Boutique Hotel, you will not be disappointed!

The location was a bit of a slog uphill on cobbles but once found it was in a good position. Breakfast had some nice unusual offerings such as jelly with fruit and watermelon. They kindly cooked an omelette on request. The tall man with a beard at breakfast was friendly and helpful.

The shower in the bath was difficult to get into. Really what was needed was a stand alone shower you could walk into. Getting in and out of the shower was potentially dangerous and slippy. Very old people just wouldn’t be able to do it.The shower gel was pink and came off onto the towel.

Very romantic stay. They kindly upgraded us to a room with a balcony with a lovely view of the neighborhood. At check-in, they provided great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit on the island. Everything we did was in walking distance and we enjoyed getting to explore many of the very beautiful streets in town. Breakfast was excellent too. Would absolutely come back!

This is not a complaint, just an FYI: do be prepared for the hill if you plan on rolling your own bags. The walk is manageable but can seem longer than it actually is with heavy bags.
