A little Gem of a Hotel 😊

We are just back from Hotel Iris, where we booked superior room 102. It was perfect, featuring a very comfortable bed and a great shower. This is a lovely family-run hotel, and the staff were fantastic. Nothing was too much bother, and they truly couldn't do enough for you. We especially enjoyed having great chats with Minas every evening at the bar.

Breakfast is your typical continental style. The food and drinks at the hotel bar were reasonably priced and absolutely lovely. We also had a great time chatting with other guests at the bar, as everyone was incredibly friendly.

We hired bikes from next door because the walk into town takes approximately 30 minutes, and we are fast walkers. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you all for a fabulous holiday!

A wonderful family-friendly stay! ☀️💛

We had such a wonderful time at Hotel Iris! We stayed in one of the renovated rooms with our 2-year-old daughter, and the family really goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay.

For example, our daughter didn’t want to finish her spaghetti by the pool, so they gave us a little container to take it back to our room. After her afternoon nap, she happily finished every last bit of it!

They also gave us an extra key card so we could keep the air conditioning running while our daughter was having her afternoon nap. We didn’t even ask for it, they simply thought of it themselves. Such a thoughtful gesture!

Special thanks to the hotel’s unofficial “entertainment team”, Thea and Miles, who did a wonderful job entertaining our daughter and the other kids! 😊

And definitely don’t underestimate the food at the hotel, it’s really delicious!

Another big plus was that, for an additional fee, we were able to keep our room for longer on our last day because our flight home wasn’t until the evening. This was incredibly convenient, especially when travelling with a young child.

We would happily come back!

A Gem of a Hotel

We stayed in the Iris hotel 4th to 18th July and had a brilliant holiday From the first minute we stepped in the hotel we we're made to feel welcombe by the family who run the hotel. We had booked a superior room numbef 103 that far exceeded our expextations lovely shower room very comfy bed fridge kettle tv well decoated and a lovely balcony. The bar at the pool was absolutely brilliant where guest and staff all got to know each over and the food was amazing . I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the staff for making our holiday one that we won't forget and hope to visit again in the not too distant future .

Avoid at all costs!

Avoid at all costs!

I have been to many Greek islands and basic accomodations is standard. Most hotels I have stayed in were 2* but although very basic, they were spotless!

Upon booking this hotel we thought it would be lovely. A few days before we went I noticed a split in the reviews on the basic and deluxe rooms. I contacted Tui to ask if we had a standard room as my husband has mobility issues. The reply I had was they don't know but ask at the hotel...Too late!

Upon arrival, the hotel Iris looks premium but don't be fooled, unless you are blessed to have a deluxe room. We were quided to the back of the hotel and the contrast will blow you away.

Dated rooms are one thing but filth is another! The photos will say it all but no bed linen change all week. On the Saturday, no towel change as the washing machine was broken. Sunday house keeping do not work and Monday was their day off. You have to go to the pool bar to complain as there is never anyone at reception. The room was not cleaned at all throughout the week.

You are absolutely fine if you are in a deluxe room as housekeeping work all week there!

The pool is very deep and not suitable for children and we spent 30 minutes there sat amongst lifting paving, weeds and the strong smell of a cat litter tray!

If you like to drink, spend all day at their bar, they will treat you like family!
