3-star family-run guesthouse in Hydra, 100 metres from the port
Amenities
Ippokampos has a courtyard with bougainvillea and olive trees used for breakfast, evening cocktails, and relaxation. The property offers a shared lounge/TV area with a business centre and meeting/banquet facilities. Guests have access to a garden with multiple terrace areas for sunbathing or reading.
Rooms
All 17 rooms are en suite with satellite TV, minibar, fridge, and direct dial phone. Most rooms have a private balcony with views of the harbour or the courtyard. Each room has its own electric water heater for the shower, which requires a 20-minute warm-up before use.
Location
The hotel is 100 metres straight up from the Hydra ferry port, at the end of the harbour behind the first turning. It lies within a 4-minute walk of restaurants, bars, and shops, yet the courtyard remains quiet at night. The property has no lift, so guests carry luggage up two floors to the rooms.
Dining
Breakfast is served buffet-style in the dining room with original wooden beams and on the courtyard patio. The spread includes homemade cakes, cold fried eggs, ham and cheese toasties, yogurt, honey, and filter coffee. There is no restaurant on site for lunch or dinner.
Services
The family-run hotel provides a 24-hour personalised service, with staff named Kostas, Yiannis, and Nota offering recommendations for island activities. Guests can use the luggage storage, ironing service, and laundry facilities. CCTV cameras cover common areas and the outside property for safety.
