Kritikakis Village Hotel

We had an amazing family holiday at Kritikakis Hotel in Ios! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely warm, making us feel right at home. The hotel is spotless — everything was super clean and well-maintained throughout our stay. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the port. Perfect for families looking for comfort and convenience. A wonderful experience overall — we would happily return and highly recommend Kritikakis Hotel to anyone visiting Ios!

We had a wonderful stay here! The hotel is in a perfect location, just a short walk from the beach. The staff were all genuinely friendly and helped us with everything we needed, they really did everything to make us feel welcome! Breakfast was amazing, with lots of tasty options. The pool area has a poolside bar offering excellent cocktails, and there are two pools to choose from. Highly recommended!

A Disappointing Stay at Kritikakis Village Hotel – Not Worth the Price We recently stayed at Kritikakis Village Hotel in Ios and had a thoroughly unpleasant experience. Despite its 4.5-star rating and claims of offering "comfortable and spacious rooms with stunning sea views," our stay was marred by several issues that made it feel more like a budget pension than a premium hotel. Ant Infestation and Chemical Treatment Upon arrival, we discovered an ant infestation in our room. The hotel's solution was to douse the area with harsh chemicals, which not only left the room smelling unbearable but also caused my wife to feel unwell (picture attached with yellow chemical)l. Unpleasant Garbage View The room description promised a sea view, but what we were greeted with was a patio littered with garbage that had been accumulating for five days. This unsightly view was not only disappointing but also unacceptable for a hotel of this supposed caliber (picture attached) Overcrowded and Inadequate Room for Families Advertised as suitable for a family of four, the room was cramped and barely accommodated two adults and two children. If your kids are under the age of 6 any room in this hotel would be suitable. However, if your there is more than two adults in the room is insufficient, and the lack of proper amenities makes it very uncomfortable. (picture attached) Overpriced for the Quality & Room sizes At €240 per night, we expected a much higher standard of accommodation. Comparable rooms in the area, such as those at Yialos Ios Hotel (another 4.5 star hotel) offer better value for money. The quality of the room and services did not justify the steep price tag. Inconsistent Quality Across Rooms Our group of 14 had booked multiple rooms, and the consensus was unanimous: all rooms were similarly disappointing. The lack of consistency in quality suggests that the hotel's standards are not up to par. If you really dig into the website the smallest room is 20m² & the largest is 28m². A difference of only 75 sq ft…. Not worthy of any additional costs. Not a 4.5-Star Experience In our opinion, Kritikakis Village Hotel does not deserve its 4.5-star rating. The issues we encountered, from the ant infestation to the garbage view and cramped rooms, point to a lack of attention to detail and guest satisfaction. It felt more like a budget pension than a luxury hotel. Recommendation: Consider Alternatives

The room was amazing, mattress was so comfortable. Breakfast was offered for a small fee. Pool area and pool bar were lovely. The staff, bartender, front registration, house keepers and wait staff in the breakfast area were all very nice. I would definitely come back and stay, and recommend it to anyone one who would listen.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Kritikakis. We had a friend’s wedding in Ios Club and decided to stay 3 nights in Kritikakis which is only a 10min walk away from the main town. We booked a room with sea view which did not dissapoint! The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much to ask (from providing a second key to printing my speech last minute for the wedding). Thank you to all the staff to make our stay so amazing🙏

Beautiful room and terrace. Just 5 minutes from the port and a 5 minute bus to Chora which runs every 15 minutes from just outside the hotel. To walk to Chora is about 15minutes. We’re really glad to be closer to the port than Chora. The local beach is also beautiful. The room has all the kitchenette supplies needed and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The two pools are beautiful with great friendly staff and not overcrowded.

Amazing service, extremely friendly staff, fantastic breakfast, spacious rooms with aircon and comfortable mattresses. Extra pool / beach towels every day. Reachable by foot from the port. Bus stop right in front to quickly reach the rest of the island. Highly recommended! Lovely views and quiet in the evenings. We had a small hic up with the AC just before the reception closed and the problem was fixed asap, incl. getting the maintenance team and an electrician onsite within 20-30 mins. Real commitment to the guests. Thank you all so much!
