The hostel exceeded all my expectations. Even though it was the end season they still made the effort to help you to have the most fun possible. All the facilities were great and the location was perfect.

This place was wicked. The rooms were modern and clean. Mike and his sister were fantastic. Helpful and friendly. Fab location for nights out in Ios as it is only a short stumble home and still only a 5 min bus ride to the beach (or quad bike ride). Definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Ios Resort is well located, with good size rooms all around a courtyard with a pool and bar. Found the staff to be excellent (including Tyson the dog). Only 2 slight drawbacks, the security light glows orange in the room all night (apparently a legal requirement tho), and it can be a bit noisy... more Ios Resort is well located, with good size rooms all around a courtyard with a pool and bar. Found the staff to be excellent (including Tyson the dog). Only 2 slight drawbacks, the security light glows orange in the room all night (apparently a legal requirement tho), and it can be a bit noisy late at night (but you expect that in Ios anyway), so if you like your sleep, keep some earplugs handy just in case. Would definitely stay here again!!! Really enjoyed it.close

Kinda nice if you like wall to wall frat boys and aussies getting wrecked every night. Staff were amazingly helpful and kind, the room was only claned once while we were there and we didn't feel this was sufficient. Air con was an extra 3 euro per night and this was never made clear beforehand.... more Kinda nice if you like wall to wall frat boys and aussies getting wrecked every night.
