Hello,
We really had a blast at your hotel. From A to Z everything has been perfect. The arrival as well as the welcome drink arrived at the perfect moment in our journey. What else to say more about the so friendly and helpful hosts. Lisa, Nicki and the crew made our stay fabulous. The hotel is calm and so well maintain. What else to say...of course the water melon jam made from the skin of it, simply delicious. Again, we highly recomend this place. Thanks to Lisa and Nicki to have made our stay in the cool island of Ios something we will never forget. Annie and Guy

Wir waren leider nur für drei Nächte im Brothers Hotel, aber die Zeit dort war absolut perfekt. Angefangen beim kostenlosen Shuttle Service vom Hafen zum Hotel über die nette Begrüßung durch Nicki & Lisa, den tollen Pool bis hin zu den schönen Zimmern, die keinen Wunsch offen ließen, war alles perfekt. Am Pool konnte man auf den angenehmen Liegen die Ruhe genießen und hätte sich an einem Kühlschrank selber mit Getränken versorgen können. Das Frühstück hat alles geboten, was man von einem Frühstück in einem griechischen Hotel erwarten kann. Als wir einen Roller mieten wollten, mussten wir nur Nicki Bescheid sagen und 5 Minuten später stand jemand vor der Tür um uns abzuholen. Besser gehts nicht. Die Lage des Hotels ist ebenfalls super. Man ist in 5-10 Minuten am Strand bzw. am Hafen. Dort Sind ausreichend Restaurants und Bars sowie ein Supermarkt vorhanden. Man ist auch weg vom Partytrubel, kann aber mit dem Bus vom Hafen in 5 Minuten in der Chora sein. Sollten wir nochmal nach Ios fahren, dann nur ins Brothers Hotel. Und falls uns jemand fragt, werden wir nur dieses Hotel empfehlen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden

Brothers hotel is a gem in the beautiful island of Ios. Extremely clean, very good location, only 600m from the beach and the center of the port of Ios, very quiet and suitable for the absolute relaxation. But what makes this hotel unique is the hospitality of the owners. Nikiforos, the hotel owner, is amazing. Always ready to help, to tell you where to go, where to eat, to tell you about hidden corners of this amazing island.
He is the true incarnation of the famous Greek hospitality and even if his hotel is found in one of the most famous Cyclades Island he is simple, friendly and kind honoring the tradition of the people of Cyclades.
The words that characterize the hotel are beauty and simplicity. Beauty as the hotel is beautiful and in perfect accordance with the islands architecture and simplicity as it has all the necessary amendments that can make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Ios is an amazing island. Beautiful beaches, great architecture, places of historical interest, amazing Chora [the main village of the island]. Quiet and noisy at the same time. Depends on your mood how you want to spend your vacations. And of course great food [Visit the tavern Suzana in Yialos with her tasty homemade food and you will understand]!!!
The beaches Manganari, Aghia Theodoti, Yialos, Koumpara, Mylopatas are unique! Clean blue waters, perfect golden sand and the beautiful sun of Greece above you. What else does someone needs to feel like he is in heaven.
Visit this amazing island and stay in Brothers hotel. It will be a life time experience especially for people who don’t enjoy sun and sea in their homeland.

This was the best family run hotel we have stayed at in Greece. Little wonder people return year after year. Niki and Lisa were always around, helpful with ideas for places to visit and places to eat. The breakfast was both varied and plentiful, the rooms spacious, spotless as well as fully equipped. The pool area was superb plus the honesty drinks fridge stocked with beer and soft drinks. A bonus was Niki collecting you from the port and returning you at just the right time to depart. All in all, a highly recommended hotel. Thanks for a great holiday.

Un'isola fantastica da scoprire e vivere. Sette giorni di vacanza indimenticabili. Grazie a Nicki e Lisa per l'accoglienza e la gentilezza non comuni.

As cosy as home
"I have spent 5 wonderful days at Lisa's and Nicki's and really felt as if I was with old friends of mine
The hotel is really quiet, rooms are large and neat, breakfast is excellent with multiple options
The pool is pretty large and perfectly clean
The place is 10 mn away from the port and close to the main village
Moreover, the atmosphere is unique. Lisa and Nicki are so friendly, so helpful, so available that the only thing you aim at is coming back
In a word, one of my best memories of all times
Thanks Lisa and Nicki"

Brothers Hotel is tops on Ios for many reasons, all of which start with the owners Nikki and Lisa. They are by far the most personable hosts we have ever met. Upon our arrival, Nikki sat us down on the charming veranda, poured us Greek beer, pulled out a map of Ios and continued to spend a full 30 minutes marking up the map with all the ins and outs of Ios we would need to efficiently fill three days on the island. Coming to Ios, we had a good general idea of what we wanted to do and see, but this time spent with Nikki really crystalized how and when to do it all...and more!

Our room was perfect. Very roomy by European standards featuring beautiful stone tile floors, a comfy oversized sitting chair, fridge and a huge stone patio with table and chairs perfect for enjoying drinks and the night air.

The hotel grounds were immaculate and wonderfully landscaped with loads of jasmine, bougainvillea and olive trees. Ancient Greek relics like mortars, pestles and water basins accentuated the grounds. The pool was sparkling and perfect for a refreshing afternoon dip or early morning wake-up call.

At the far end of the pool deck is a big glass-faced "honor" fridge stocked with every beverage under the Greek sun including Greek beers and wines as well as soft drinks and water. Pricing was cheaper than the corner stores and pop-up stalls in the tourist areas and the convenience was priceless. You just keep track yourself of what you drink and settle up when you checkout. Brilliant!

This was an incredibly social hotel. Most of the travelers we met were Europeans on repeat visits to Brothers Hotel, many of whom had been coming for years if not decades - a testament to the quality of the property and, of course, it's hosts. Every night we would pass by the veranda on our way out to a late dinner and either Nikki, Lisa or both would be holding court with any number of guests - trading stories and filling the night with laughter and goodwill.

Brothers Hotel is a short, flat 10 minute walk to the port which offers a nice set of mostly family-owned restaurants and tavernas along the beach and waterfront. If you don't have your own transportation, buses seemed to run pretty late into the night from the port to Chora (the one main town on Ios) and Mylopotas Beach (the nightlife hub on Ios). Just check with Nikki for details.

According to Nikki, breakfast was included because we had booked directly with the hotel. Breakfast was a delicious array of everything you would find in a traditional Greek breakfast and included dried fruit (a particular favorite of mine): kiwi and pineapple.

Lastly, our checkout-day ferry to Santorini was cancelled while we slept due to high winds. We booked the only other available direct ferry when we woke up. Nikki knew we had a problem before we did. He had made a mental note of our travel plans when we checked in and let us know as soon as we arrived for breakfast. He told us the other ferry we booked would also be canceled, which it was. He figured out that there would only be one possible way for us to get to Santorini that day, which was a lone larger ad-hoc ferry that did not list Santorini on it's online itinerary. Long story short, Nikki was spot on about everything. He kindly drove us to the port, dropped us at the ferry lineup and assured us it would end up at Santorini that day, which it did. It's funny because we asked several ferry personal if this boat was going to Santorini: the first in the boarding line said no - we still got on, the second at the information desk on the boat said we would have to get off at Naxos and catch a different boat, the third, a ferry crewman, while the boat was deboarding on Naxos took our tickets to another counter and, voila, we were now ticketed to Santorini...on the same boat that no one else would acknowledge was eventually going to Santorini.

I'm still not sure of the why's or how's of the ferry logistics when disruptions occur, but the bottom line is that without Nikki, we would not have ended up on Santorini that day.

So....a very big thank you to Nikki and Lisa for a picture perfect stay on Ios and for your help in keeping our travels on track! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we will do everything we can to make it twice (or more) like so many of your other guests do!
