Olia Hotel

"We understand that Mykonos is an extremely expensive destination and, within our budget, Olia Hotel may have been one of the best available options. However, there are a few important points future guests should consider. The main positive aspect was the staff, who were consistently kind, welcoming and helpful. Our room was extremely simple considering the price, but it was impeccably clean. Breakfast was also quite basic. The pool area is beautiful, although the strong local winds and very cold water made it difficult to enjoy. This seemed to be the case not only for us, as most guests preferred to remain on the sun loungers rather than use the pool. However, the main reason we would choose a different hotel next time is the location. Being close to the ferry port and having free parking may initially seem convenient, but much of the Mykonos experience involves walking through the charming alleys, shops and restaurants of Mykonos Town. From the hotel, accessing these areas was more complicated than expected. Although there are large public parking areas near the town, they were crowded, disorganised and unable to handle the volume of cars. Combined with the chaotic traffic, staying farther away made some outings unnecessarily stressful. Overall, Olia Hotel offers excellent cleanliness and a genuinely kind team, but for us, staying within walking distance of Mykonos Town would have made the experience much more enjoyable."

"This was our second stop on our Greek island‑hopping adventure. We arrived in Mykonos by ferry, and the hotel’s location close to the port was ideal — especially when it was time to head back. Our room was at the back of the complex, lovely and quiet, and as a suite it was absolutely huge. The large fridge was perfect for keeping drinks and food cool, and with a couple of small supermarkets next door, it was easy to stock up on fruit, yoghurt, cheese and meats for lunch. The complex itself was beautiful, with flowers in bloom giving it that classic Greek feel. The pool area is on the smaller side, but we never struggled to get sunbeds, and guests were great about not reserving them for hours. My husband walked into Mykonos Town (which he described as a bit hairy), while my daughter and I took the sea taxi nearby we was easy and fun. Breakfast each morning was lovely, typically Greek with plenty of fruit and yoghurt, and the rustic seating area/restaurant added to the charm. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. We’d happily recommend this hotel."

"A mother and daughter trip. Location of this hotel is great for the Seabus (€2.50 each way) into Mykonos town and there are also normal buses which stop outside the hotel. There are around 27 rooms. The average age of people in this hotel is over 50 and this is an issue when the hotel allows block bookings for groups of party goers who come in at between 3am and 6am as the noise echoes around the apartments and when asked politely to keep the noise down as we were trying to sleep, left us feeling intimidated around the pool the next day with insults and a barrage of abuse from the young girls. Rooms themselves are ok, we paid extra for a superior room which had a sea view. Perfect for watching the cruise ships. They are cleaned daily. There are no activities at this hotel. Around the hotel there are a couple of food shops which we used if we did not want to eat in the hotel as it’s a bit overpriced.. The shop has all the essentials (1 litre bottle of water €1, the hotel are charging €2.50). I recommend the feta cheese salad made fresh daily as this was €6 and easily feeds 2 people. There are a couple of restaurants in walking distance, in particular Mathias. A meal from 2 with shared starter and a main each plus a beer and a coke was €78 but it was delicious and worth a visit! Back to the hotel, majority of the staff are amazing in particular Demetrius and Eugenia who are extremely accommodating and hard working, however the day manager George/Georgios is rude and unhelpful unless you’re not British!! The pool is clean with plenty of sun loungers however it is very windy and at times difficult to sit in.. I would say this hotel is used as a stopover for many guests as we saw many people arrive and go the next day. As a whole we would not visit this hotel again for a long stay. What should’ve been a relaxing stay left us feeling anxious and underwhelmed!"
