Syrou Melathron

Hotel was a real treat. Originally built as harbourmaster's house 150 years ago and beautifully converted into a hotel 24 years ago. Great elevated location overlooking the ocean. Great breakfast. Lovely swimming off the rock platforms below hotel which is well sheltered from prevailing North wind. Lovely restaurant, Sta Volparia ,just below hotel. 5 min walk into town and when you arrive on ferry ,there is a free city shuttle bus every 30 mins that takes you right up to hotel. The city of Ermopoulis is really lovely with marble streets and grand buildings - we really loved our stay here. Highly recommended.

Everything about this hotel was excellent: 1. Rooms were comfortable, clean with great decoration 2. People were very friendly and helpful 3. View from the room was simply AMAZING 4. Tasty breakfast 5. EXCELLENT location - 5'-10' walk from the main square and the port 6. Lovely beach downstairs (check: Vaporia)

The location of this hotel is excellent if you want to be near the city's center, It is a small but well furnished -quite old fashioned, though,hotel. Clean and with quite friendly personnel. The disadvantages are the wi-fi situation - they give you a ticket for limited access either for 72 hours or a specific amount of data with very poor signal and if you have more than 1 devices you have to ask every time for another ticket. The breakfast was not full of choices but all in all quite good except for the fact that if you want an espresso or cappuccino they charge you extra. The prices of the bottled water are also over the roof so don't buy it from there.

Το ξενοδοχειο ειναι στην καλυτερη γειτονια του κεντρου, πλαι σε ολες τις ομορφιες της πολης. Η θεα απο τα δωματια προσωψης και απο το roof bar που σερβιρεται το πρωινο ειναι εκπληκτικη. Το νεοκλασσικο στυλ του ξενοδοχειου ταιριαζει απολυτα με την πολη και η διακοσμηση με ταξιδεψε σε αλλες, αρχοντικες εποχες. Το προσωπικο ειναι φιλικο και ευδιαθετο. Απο τα καλυτερα ξενοδοχεια που εχω μεινει! Οι φωτογραφιες τραβηχτηκαν με το κινητο απο την βεραντα.

I booked this hotel last minute via phone (1 day befoire arrival) following an ad in Syros city map I collected on one of the Cycladic island -- fortunately one room was still available. The hotel turned out to be a 19th-century mansion -- quiet and aristocratic. Our room (1109) was overlooking a terrace facing Aegean sea -- quite a dramatic view in fact. The room itself was medium-size, cozy and very clean, with small balcony and exquisite stucco ceiling. Perfectly air-conditioned. The owner greeted us personally with warmth and took his time to provide us with touristic advice. The town of Ermoupolis itself is special, very different from other towns of Cycladic islands, due to its Roman touch. I hope to return to Ermoupolis one day and I will stay at Syrou Melathron again.

Our stay in this hotel was perfect from the beginning to the end. The décor is nice and stylish, brings memories of past times. Our room was clean and pretty large for the greek standards and the view from the balcony to the sea and the nearby church was divine . The hotel has the best position in the town, close to the city center, but also to the concrete platform from where you can swim in clear water. I think that it is located in the most beautifull part of the town. The personnel was kind and professional and we were very satisfied with the service at all times. The town of Hermoupolis itself is faboulos, not the tourist resort, but the town where people actually live, which we liked very much. The only bad thing was that at the end we had to leave Syros and return home. We visited about fifteen greek islands so far, but Syros we liked the best, which is a matter of taste of course, but we are quite sure that this hotel was the best we have stayed in Greece. I hope to be able to return one day.
