Mayara, United States of America

Great location, a couple of min walk to the heart of Mykonos town and yet away from the noise and the party buzz at night. Very friendly and helpful staff. We‘ll definitely be back soon :)

Mila, Austria

The hotel was lovely and just what we expected. It was clean and had all the basics you'd need. Our view was great overlooking Mykonos Town. Location is a short walk to the town (about 5 mins) but it is up a pretty high hill.

Carolina, United States of America

Hotel Nazos is a small family owned and operated hotel. (I thought) the location is ideal because it was very quiet yet you are only a few minutes away from Mykonos Town. My room had a wonderful view and a small patio area. The hosts I interacted with, George, Sophie and Kalliope were very genuine, kind and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Hotel Nazos for everyone from solo travelers to families.!

Mark_from_seattle, United States of America

George who owns the place is like that protective relative that takes care of you from the moment he picked you up at the ferry and drove you to the airport. We instantly felt happy and comfortable we chose this place. The location was up a hill that overlooks the town and ocean but just a quick 3-5 minute walks into center. The rooms are super cute, clean, modern bathroom, large, comfortable beds and linens and even has a fridge and balcony/patio. Staff was very friendly and sweet. The housekeeping staff was superb.

Anita, United States of America

Family run property, really welcoming and friendly. Prepared to go out of their way to make your stay special. We were fetched from the airport and given a lift to port, all part of the service. Very quiet situation away from the main town but in walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.

Rachael, United Kingdom

The staff and room were excellent. They were helpful, warm and always available. We won stay here again. The hotel has a good location which is close to the city but far away enough to miss the noise.

Cindi, United States of America

the hotel is exactly as it looks in the picture. the view from the rooms is very picturesque. the hosts are happy people and even picked up & dropped us to the port. the staff is very friendly. The rooms are clean. the hotel is located very close to the town, the windmills and little venice.

Aarti, India

The ocean view from our balcony was breathtaking. The location area is very peaceful and relaxing. Not too far from the town center and bus station. The owners are very hospitable and Sofia even dropped me off at the airport for free.

Daphne, Qatar

Modern and bright rooms, beautiful view out of my room over to the old port of Mykonos. Friendly hosts, always up for a chat and help you out with questions etc. You re next to the Elysium and down the road in max 5 Minutes you re at the town. I can highly recommend this place and will come back soon when the price is a bit lower.;)

Stay in the Heart of Mikonos –

Beautifully located in Mykonos town, this hotel overlooks the bright blue Aegean Sea and stunning Cycladic landscapes, warmly welcoming you with a friendly Greek atmosphere and hospitality.

This family-run property is within easy walking distance of unspoiled beaches and the charming old Mykonos town and its tiny houses and maze-like streets. It has been built according to the local Mykonos architecture and offers traditional-style accommodations, with modern comforts.

Mykonos town in Chora is definitely one of the most pleasant and charming towns of the Greek islands. There are endless small streets, shops, windmills, churches, terraces and whitewashed houses. This is a place to wander around for days and find something unexpected every time.

This is our guests' favorite part of Mikonos, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

This hotel is also rated as the best value in Mikonos! Guests are getting more for their money when compared to other properties in this city.

Was noisy at night. Think we were mostly unlucky and had particularly noisy neighbours, the walls and doors very thin. Would recommend ear plugs just in case if you are a light sleeper, and an eye mask because the light really streams through in the morning.
Such a great find. Perfect location, meters away from the main hustle and bustle of Mykonos town. However it is on a steep incline, so wouldn’t recommend for those with reduced mobility. Excellent facilities, hairdryer, iron, sea view unreal, comfortable beds, lovely air conditioning. Amazing staff, helped answer any questions and drove us to the port on day of departure. Didn’t try the breakfast but it seemed popular. Very good value for money!

No pool so only look here if you are happy to go to beaches instead
Great location apart from the steep hill you have to walk up from the town (but this is only 2 minutes but worth noting), really friendly staff they were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel facilities are simple but clean and better value for money as compared to other hotels in the area. Good for a few days stay.

I simply could not have asked for a better stay. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, it’s in such a great, central location but most importantly all of the staff at Hotel Nazos were just amazing. So friendly and welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable! I cannot recommend this place more. I won’t be staying anywhere else when I visit Mykonos again. Thank you for everything you did for us :)
