The small hotel is situated in a very quiet area but in center of Hydra. Hilda, the owner was very helpful, and gave us a lot of information about the island. We had a lovely, spacious suite with a balcony overlooking the busy street - donkeys doing their daily work. We enjoyed the lovely homemade breakfast each morning on the veranda. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. I would recommend it to stay at this hotel!!

Nothing. All of our needs were fulfilled plus a little more.

The hotel is in a very quiet area but close to everything. Complete silence at night. We thoroughly enjoyed a very spacious and atmospheric room. We loved the breakfast, welcoming attitude and assistance with various issues and questions from Hilda. She helped us with taxis, a person to bring our luggage from the port, beaches to go to, restaurants, etc. always feeling cared for.

Wi-Fi was a little spotty in the upstairs of our room but strong signal downstairs/on the patio.

Beautiful hotel a few blocks from the waterfront. Friendly and welcoming staff, our room was upgraded for free to a very spacious lofted room with small semi-private courtyard. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommend!

Be prepared for hearing donkeys braying in the early morning hours along with the roosters. We had no problem sleeping through the night with the windows open.

Hilda greeted us and showed us to our room which was much bigger than expected. Her staff, Lina, greeted us every morning with a fresh breakfast: warm cooked egg in the shell, assortment of homemade pastries, toasted bread, turkey and cheese slices, fresh squeezed juice/smoothie, fresh strong coffee and yogurt with honey up on a beautiful terrace overlooking the hillside of Hydra. Housekeeping was provided daily, plenty of bathroom amenities: soap, shampoo/conditioner, shower gel, soap, toothbrushes and terry cloth slippers. There is a keyed safe for valuables and beach towels are provided upon request. Hilda also made some excellent suggestions for dinner nearby or in town. Hydra is very easy to navigate and there are plenty of shops to entertain you around the harbor as well as beautiful pebbly beaches to swim in nearby. A liter bottle of cold water awaits you in the mini refrigerator and there is a mini kitchen should you wish to make a snack. I have to add the bed was very comfortable and we slept well.

we are frequent travelers and have traveled extensively in Europe and South America. we have rented homes and apartments as well as stayed at a variety of hotels, inns, etc. we liked, no loved, everything about our experience at Phaedra Hotel.

great location- 5 minute walk to port. very comfortable, spacious, and quiet room/bathroom. ample and tasty breakfast with homemade and local bakery treats. the terrace is lovely. the hostess, Hilda, is very jolly, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. our stay was the last of our month long trip through Southern Italy, Athens, and Ydra. our stay at Phaedra Hotel was the highlight of our trip thanks to Hilda, the accommodations, and the relaxing nature of Ydra.

Great location; room was really spacious and charming. Balcony and patio were great bonuses. Lovely owner.

a bit of a walk from the port, but the reward was quiet sleeping at night

Hilda and Lena completely looked after us. They were always available, yet never intrusive. We learned a lot about Hydra and life of the locals. Hilda had a man with handcart take our bags to the hotel and boat when we left. She made the onward calls to get us across to the peninsula and Napflio. Her breakfasts were a treat every morning. Our room had a lot of charm, real furniture, and the decor was so pleasant. Her ground floor accommodation was a real find for us with our walking challenges. I would highly recommend a stay at Hilda’s place.

Hilda was a wonderful host who made us feel at home straight away. She helped us with all our travel to and from the island and was really helpful with local knowledge. The breakfast served on the terrace was plentiful, great quality and really enjoyable. Excellent location to explore Hydra.

great location close to town but nice and quiet

The only disappointment was that we thought we had our own terrace and we did not, the terrace was shared and we like to sit out and have a drink at night but we were unable to because we were afraid we would have disturbed other people.

The location was perfect everything was in walking distance apart from the beaches which were accessible by boat. The breakfast was lovely and Hilda was very helpful and friendly, the rooms were cleaned every day and were exceptionally clean and comfortable. We would definitely consider going back.

Hilda is a great host and made my friend and I feel right at home. We enjoyed the variety in the breakfast and felt the vibe of the hotel matched the island very well.

We loved it!

The property was located in a perfect place. It was a short walk to the harbor and gave you the feel of sleeping as a local. You wind your way through cobbled streets to get to your accommodation. The rooms were quaint and comfortable too.

i had no complaint.. obviously reaching the hotel with luggage in hand is tiresome, albeit a common feature in the island

Very close distance from the city center, at the same time at a quiet street... the hostess is amazing, thank you very much for the hospitality.. great home-made breakfast

Very comfortable room, quiet location but not too far from the waterfront. Excellent breakfast and very congenial and helpful host.
