Ippokampos Beachfront Hotel & Restaurant

Fantastic beach front boutique hotel. St. George beach a stone’s throw from your room. Less than a 5 minute walk to town with dozens of shops and restaurants. Very good breakfast included with your room. Get a room on 3rd floor with balcony. Friendly and attentive staff. Nine of us stayed here in five rooms. Everyone loved it here. We all plan to return.

Edit: The hotel has mentioned I have a pattern of harsh reviews, please hotel person read my prior reviews, if I was a harsh reviewer I would have given you one star and said like many others “would give you zero if I could” and if I remember correctly I gave you since the start a five stars on location. Edited Nov 2025. Room: The room was decent, but it was located underground with no windows, and the shower had some mold. The bed, however, was comfortable. Service: There was no assistance with our luggage, and on Monday morning, when we needed a taxi to the airport, there was no one at reception to help us, even though it was 8 a.m. !! Thankfully, the cleaning staff member kindly called a friend who arranged a taxi for us. The taxi arrived at 8 a.m. and charged €25 for a five-minute ride to the airport. Breakfast: Breakfast service starts at 8:30 a.m., which we found quite late. If staff had been available earlier, we could have received guidance, for instance, that we could have had our included breakfast before leaving, instead of arriving at the airport, which wasn’t even open at 8:15 a.m. It gives the impression that delaying breakfast until 8:30 may be a way to reduce service for guests with early flights to Athens. Location: Great location right by the beach and within walking distance to several restaurants.

An absolutely wonderful hotel , in my opinion on the nicest beach and 2 mins away from the town.||Everything you could need in the room with a great shower and coffee facilities and very clean and smelt lovely || Fabulous bars/restarants scattered along the beach. The breakfast was amazing. Waiter service was a lovely touch on the beach , thank you Ippokampos I cannot wait to return :-)

Ippokampos Hotel is very nice for the view of the beach, but we had a very bad experience due to the shower which was broken and made it difficult to be able to have a shower. The shower handle did not attach to the fixture of the shower, we had difficulty showering. After complaining we had to struggle with the attendant for more than 1 hour which got us from being able to enjoy a commitment we had planned, plus the garbage bin was broken, which caused us to have to get our hands dirty instead of being able to open it with the foot lever. Our fridge did not chill our water properly and the furniture outside where there is a table had stains on the cushions and a dead cactus plant blocking an old and decadent door which was done so we would not have access to it. Overall the restaurant was good, had good breakfast and the food was decent when we ordered the first day that we came. The reception lady was not always very pleasant as she seemed bothered from when we brought issues to her attention and was not very patient when we asked for suggestions of what to see around the island. In the end we had a good time and enjoyed the beach very much, but we were really disappointed with the problems we encountered in the room. We asked for a partial refund but that was ignored, when I approached reception the next morning and asked about the incident, they said they where notified by management and did nothing else. Customer service is not very strong in Greece over all, anything you are dissatisfied with many times is ignored.

The Location is an easy walk into the Old Town.|Breakfast was ok. The room was old and could do with some upgrades. Hotel staff was attentive when I advised the doona needed to be replaced, as on my arrival it had dirty marks and hair over it.|Even though you are staying at the property, there is a charge a €20 for twin sun lounges at the beach, and as a solo traveller, it was disappointing that it wasn’t €10 for a solo traveller.

Don’t stay here unless you are happy to be stolen from!The good: Location is great - right on the beach and a short walk into the town.Staff in the bar are very friendly and understood my dietary requirements well. Beach is well-maintained. The bad:Check-in took 40 minutes as the receptionist had gone home for the evening. Rooms are extremely small (much smaller than the pictures!) this didn’t bother us as we were only staying for 3 nights but something to be aware of particularly if you are staying longer. On check-out the security deposit was refunded but another one was taken at the same time without my knowledge. We have contacted the hotel on several occasions and they are denying all knowledge - now having to go through Trip and Mastercard to recoup funds - avoid!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ – Wonderful Stay at Ippokampos We stayed at Ippokampos in Naxos from August 14–18 and had a fantastic experience overall. From the moment we arrived earlier than expected, the reception staff welcomed us with a warm smile and immediately made us feel at home. The location is unbeatable—right across from the beach with stunning views and sunsets just steps from our room. Guests can rent beach chairs and umbrellas for €25/day (a nice discount compared to €45 for non-guests). The biggest drawback, however, was the constant stream of merchants coming by every half hour offering massages. This wasn’t just distracting—it was extremely annoying when all we wanted to do was relax by the sea. The included breakfast was a real highlight. I tried the Greek breakfast, which came with coffee, a hard-boiled egg, cheese, tomatoes, olives, fresh bread with butter and jam, fruit, and even rice pudding with cinnamon for dessert. I also sampled the “super breakfast,” with egg whites, veggies, peanut butter toast, dried apple bites, and more. Both were delicious, generous, and filling enough to carry me through until dinner. Our room was clean, comfortable, and airy, and I loved that I could simply crack the window to let in a cool breeze. What stood out most was the service—staff were never intrusive, but whenever we needed help, they were ready to go above and beyond. The only reason I’m giving 4.5 instead of 5 stars is because of two things: the strict rules about bringing outside snacks to the beach chairs (which I understand about tax inspections, but if you have a receipt), and the constant interruptions from beach merchants. That said, I would absolutely stay here again. The views, sunsets, location, and warm hospitality made it a memorable trip. Highly recommend Ippokampos for anyone visiting Naxos!

Amazing location with very clean rooms.|The room we stayed in could have benefited from some modernisation but it didn’t affect our stay.|Good value for money, booking included a very good sized breakfast and drinks.|You were also given 50% discount for the beach beds, making the only €22.50 a day which we thought were very good value. They also provided drink service to your sun lounger.
