  The hotel only has three bedrooms and feels wonderfully unique. It has large stately rooms and the breakfast is out of this world. We enjoyed 3 nights here whilst exploring Syros. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It is a very special place to stay.

  Scam: 3 star b&b marketed as 5 star boutique

  The good point is the house is a nice Syran villa and well located. The bad is all the rest. Service was terrible with one old man as the staff, that didn’t make an effort at hiding he was annoyed with us being there (only guests on property). When we got there instead of helping my girlfriend with the heavy luggage he reached for the smallest bag and left her with the big one. He also calmly sat in the living room watching tv the whole day as the home’s owner. The entrance of the property (downstairs unit) was incredibly messy and not ready for guest They served us the leftovers from the first day for following breakfast. Towels were Zara home and dirty, no robe, reusable crappy slippers. Room had no windows except for one on a 60cm internal lightwell with the bathroom from the other room across the way at arms reach. Room so small you couldn’t open your bag and closet door would slam in bed and not open. On day of check out there was a ferry strike and we were stuck on the island, regardless of that the man frantically urged us out of the property commencing 9am, scared we might stay the extra night. This is no 5 star property, it’s a room for rent in skmeone’s House and someone not very acquainted with 5 star service either. What’s worse is that we are extremely kind and reserved guests that keep their room very clean, we smile, continuously thank and act kind with staff as we travel a lot. Absolute nightmare, would deserve 3 stars and the according price tag.

  Refined living in a pristine hotel

  The owner of this exceptionally refined hotel is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the island of Syros. By staying at this hotel you benefit from local knowledge and information that will ensure you make the most of every day and night.

  Amazing place to stay and probably the best place we stayed during our three week trip in Greece. Syros is an adorable island and the Arhontiko is centrally located in Ermoupolis--only a 5-minute walking distance to Vaporia and the city beach ;). But, the real star of our stay was Rania, who made sure everything worked perfectly and helped us plan our days.

  Wonderful place with a couple of "buts"

  Great location close to the center, very helpful hostess with excellent suggestions for things to do, and she made reservations for us wherever necessary. The building was lovely, however when we booked our trip the only available room was the basement, which did not really live up to the high standard and beauty of the rest of the rooms. We were aware of this, being informed in advance, but it's still good to know that the basement does not offer the luxury of the rest of the rooms, albeit quite a bit larger. No AC in the building (which we also knew in advance), which was compensated with a bunch of pretty noisy fans, at least in our room. All in all a pleasant experience, but if there is a next time we will not book the basement.
