Totally thrilled with my one night stay at Hermes Hotel, staff so friendly (and spoke perfect English) hotel is well placed for charming Syros town, as well as the port & ferries, both in easy walking distance in 10 minutes. The hotel was super clean and quiet, and my gorgeous big, cool, room had a wonderful sea view balcony, and views of the garden. The bed was massive, and had super quality bed linen, so comfortable. Inside the hotel is a charming mix of exposed stone and some indoor trees, 2 storeys high! Breakfast was VERY good, both hot and cold. I live on Tinos now, just arrived 3 weeks ago, but I am sure I will be visiting Syros again quite often and will definitely try to stay at the Hermes.

Nothing really.

The location was excellent, great views.

Limited breakfast choices. No beach towels and no tea and coffee in room.

Firstly the location is the best! The harbour view from the breakfast table is fabulous and swimming from the little beach at the back, amazing. Just enough sun loungers for guests to enjoy time in the day there too. Our bedroom and bathroom was very spacious and nicely decorated and the whole hotel looks and feels elegant.

Most balconies are small and open giving no privacy at all. We didn't pay for a sea view so we're given a balcony overlooking an ugly side building and litter strewn alley. We never used it!

We stayed five nights at the Hotel Hermes and it was an excellent choice and very good value: a beautiful hotel in a neoclassical building on the harbour side with commanding views of the town and harbour. Inside the hotel, the furnishings and rooms are tastefully decorated. The hotel also has a lovely garden and small private beach area. We enjoyed the extensive buffet breakfast and the opportunity to sit outside at the front of the hotel, watching as the boats came and went into the harbour. Also, a thank you to the staff who cleaned our room everyday, and to the other staff in the hotel who were so helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Hotel Hermes to other visitors to Syros.

The hotel was a great choice and had everything that we wanted to make our first visit to Syros an enjoyable stay.

The hotel is in a great location with easy access to the shops and restaurants of Ermoupoli. Even though it’s in a central location, the rooms are quiet and there’s no noise from the street outside. The staff are friendly and the rooms are kept very clean, well done to the housekeeping!

There absolutely should have been a coffee/tea maker in the room. It’s a nuisance to have to dress first thing in the morning and go down to the breakfast room to get a cup of coffee (which are small cups and contain just a few sips). The wifi worked well but if you expect to be able to watch tv in your room, think again as the provided screens are the size of a postage stamp! Also, the promised sea view was a small glimpse through the side of the balcony and not what I was expecting.

Good location and spacious public areas. My room was small but comfortable. It was quiet, and had a nice view from the balcony.The bathroom was well designed, with an effective shower screen so the bathroom floor stayed dry. I really appreciated the honesty of the bar staff who found some coins that had accidentally fallen from my pocket and which they returned to me the next day. Bravo!

The fridge didn’t work. I wasn’t there long enough for the hotel to replace it.My evening meal in the restaurant wasn’t very good.

The location was excellent, the room although quite ordinary, had the most gorgeous views from the outside balcony. We could hear the sea, which was an added bonus. Breakfast was acceptable. The hotel patio areas were lovely overlooking the sea on the one side and the town on the other.

The hairdryer in the room

The location for a short stay in Syros was excellent. We walked from the ferry and saw the hotel from the harbour. We arrived quite late but the restaurant was still open and we did not have to go out to look for a place for dinner. From the hotel there is easy access to attractions like the Apollon theatre and the main square. There are numerous restaurants and cafés in a walking distance. The breakfast buffet had a variety of selections and really helpful and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this location for a short stay.

We walked from the ferry to the Hotel with no problems, the hotel is set back slightly from the busy street. Our room overlooked the ocean which was pleasant and felt cooler with the shutters open allowing the sea breeze in. We were directly below the ocean steps and went swimming. Loved the location. Breakfast was on the undercover balcony overlooking the Harbour with a huge choice. I

The shower head needs replacing as it droops. I found the bed too hard

The location of this beautiful hotel was perfect. A very short walk to the cafes and restaurants for lunch or dinner. We had a room overlooking the ocean which was great. The breakfast was very substantial with something for everyone. The staff were very friendly, and we were able to check in early when we arrived. Very short walk to the ferry and to a great swimming platform.

I would have liked a kettle and tea and coffee in the room.
