Pension Erofili

I have stayed many many times at Pension Erofili, most recently in September, and I’ve never been disappointed. The rooms are extremely clean, comfortable and quiet. And this year I was surprised with a brand new beautiful large bathroom 👏. The Pension is in the most perfect location - just a short walk from the port yet very quiet. And the owners Irini and George couldn’t be more kind and helpful. I can’t wait to return!

I cannot speak highly enough of Pension Erofili and I have stayed many times. We are always warmly welcomed and in fact it feels a little like returning home. The rooms are quiet, immaculately clean and the beds very comfortable. It is also well located in a quiet area but just a short walk from the port. I have recommended Erofili to friends who also agree with me and I can’t wait to return!

Great location so close to the harbour, discrete with a nice courtyard to relax. All the staff was so cool and helpful. I had a comfortable stay. Managed to leave my luggages there in the check out day, and I spent another relaxing day by the beach. Certainly we will return in the following years. Totally recommend to my family and friends.

Like Hydra itself, there is an understated elegance to Pension Erofili. First off, you can easily walk to it from the harbor, which is great after a long flight and ferry trip. (It's less than a 5 minute walk.) Our room was super clean and quiet, even though the windows opened onto the courtyard. Breakfast was amazing! Most of the pastries were homemade by a woman who works there. It was hard to resist all the delicious Greek dishes, which get you ready to explore the beautiful island. For sure these are not luxurious accommodations, but the dignified elegance of the place (and the reasonable price!) will win you over.

Be very wary of the reviews as they're misleading. I'll start with the positives first: WiFi Comfortable bed Good location That's it. I paid a little extra for a room that was described as having a garden view and a shared patio - I was there for 5 nights, I wanted to be comfortable. On arrival I was shown to a room with a street view and no shared patio. It was overlooked by the patio next door and when I said I'd wanted privacy, I was told to 'close the curtains'. In person the room looked tired and dated compared to the pictures - I also realised there had been no pictures of the bathroom in the listing for good reason. Sound from the other rooms carried and I could hear people coughing and talking throughout the day & night. After being woken up from a nap by banging on the room door the following day, I was asked if I wanted my room cleaned. I said no. I came back from a walk, now that I was no longer sleeping, to find they had been in the room & a number of my things were not where I left them. There are no do not disturb signs. I was refused a refund (non refundable booking), despite the fact the service requested and provided was not the one described and paid for on the website at the time of booking. I was offered the option to view their alternative accomodation a few minutes away once there was a vacancy the following day - this is above some restaurants which was the reason I didn't book it in the first place. It had a shared patio, but no garden. I chose a room towards the back because I wanted some quiet & having now been here a couple of days I knew the restaurants/bars could get loud. Here, the room was a bit better & the bathroom definitely an improvement, but the internet didn't work for the duration of my time there. My options were limited due to it being the beginning of the season, but the whole experience genuinely had a negative impact on my trip as I just couldn't relax. There's more, but honestly I'd just avoid it - it's not worth the hassle.

We had a great 2 night stay. The bed was really comfortable, the water was hot and the room was quiet and clean with good A/C. An amazing central location, close to the harbour and loads of nice restaurants nearby. Friendly staff too :)|They also provide beach towels, which is a nice touch.

We found this hotel to be very reasonably priced, clean, comfortable and friendly. It is located on a quiet street within easy walking distance of the port. I would definitively recommend this hotel to any budget conscious traveler. We truly enjoyed our stay on this absolutely lovely island and at this hotel. If I ever get the chance to return to Hydra, l wouldn't hesitate to stay at this hotel again.

I just spent a week on Hydra (my first visit) and stayed at Pension Erofili. I highly recommend it. It is a beautiful pension with a beautiful garden. The room was perfect and very clean. The owner and staff are amazing. They answered all my questions and made fantastic suggestions as to what to see and do. And when I had a health problem with my eye, they helped me get immediate medical attention. The location is perfect. Just a 1 minute walk from the center of town. I will stay there the next time I visit Hydra! Irini, Alexandra, and Nana: thank you so much for everything!! Efharisto polee!!
