Just stay here!
Love this hotel! Outstanding position, a little noisy but you are above the cafes and right across from the harbour. 400 m walk to the swimming areas. Good shopping nearby. Great breakfast excellent service by Panos.

Wonderful hotel, I would stay here again. Beautiful views. A little distance from main harbour but the hotel and staff made up for that. Food was excellent. Staff couldn’t do enough. We wanted to stay longer but fully booked. We loved it

The location is great, breakfast is very good, staff friendly and amenable. Room was okay but shower very small and floor constantly got totally wet. Parking is serious problem. Prepare to walk up steep steps with your luggage to the rooms.

Loved the central location. A few minute walk from the ferry port. Super close to a plethora of bars and restaurants! The staff was lovely and very hospitable. The room was a bit small for us to open our suitcases but we were only staying 2 nights so it was manageable. I wish there was a shower head attached to the wall. It was hard for me to wash my hair holding the shower head.

Lovely hotel with amazing breakfast and staff
Really nice hotel on the front with different rooms ours was a traditional curved roof double that had a nice wet room shower. The bed is a little hard and would benefit from a thick mattress topper but the hotel staff and breakfast quality makes this hotel a fabulous place to stay would definitely stay there again. It’s also v close to the shops and local tavernas so superb location. Would give it 9.5 out of 10 which would have been 10/10 if the bed was a little softer.

We have stayed at The Aktaion before. It’s a lovely hotel on the Port in Syros. The staff is helpful and friendly. The breakfast is generous, and very good. The only drawback to this place is the stairway to the rooms. They are steep and circular.

A charming, lovely place in Syros
The Aktaion Hotel is a lovely, newly remodeled hotel, with the charm of the city of Syros, Greece. Located on the main port, the Hotel has a bar/restaurant that joins all of the other along the port. Lovely place for coffee/drinks/dinner. Our room had very high ceilings, beautiful stone walls, and all the amenities of of nice hotel. Located on the third floor (that was once a ballroom for the home), the only caution would be that the stairs are not for anyone with disabilities. The breakfast was one of the best we have seen on our travels. The staff are friendly and very accommodating to all. We will definitely return to The Aktaion.

Charming hotel on the harbor
This is a cute, older hotel with lots of charm right on the harbor. It was so nice to be able to get off the ferry I'm the middle of the night and have such a short walk to the hotel. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Shops and main square were also very close. It does have a steep staircase which we managed fine but if you were feeble you might want a lower room.

Historic building converted into lovely hotel.
We have already spent two weeks in the Cyclades and are now in the Dodecanese. The route Syros to Samos was extremely convenient and Syros was really just a jumping off point. However Syros has had a major makeover since my last visit and the harbour area is rather upmarket and the island well worth a visit. The Aktaion Hotel stands out on the waterfront and is a beautiful well appointed building with lovely rooms overlooking the harbour and excellent service. A lovely experience.

Lovely people, clean and comfortable room
This hotel is an easy walk from the ferry port, which was the main reason I chose it. You can see the hotel right when you get off the boat. I was pleasantly surprised at how kind and accomodating the staff were. The room was very clean and comfortable, and a reasonable size by European standards. The breakfast room is lovely and they give you a very nice breakfast with a view of the water. It was a great way to start the day. The hotel is also located right in the town center. I absolutely will stay here again if I come back to Syros. One thing to note is that the rooms are up several flight of narrow stairs. The staff carried up my bags for me, and I don't mind walking up stairs, but this hotel would not be good for people with physical disabilities.

Value hotel with the special touches of luxury
This was a great hotel. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and very helpful. It was the little touches that made this hotel great - tea and coffee in the room (not all Greek hotels do), couch in the room, toiletries and the breakfast was wonderful. It was served outside, in front of the hotel they also had a cafe overlooking the port. The breakfast had good quality food, spreads, crockery and a more modern twist. When our ferry was delayed for 4hours we went back and they looked after our suitcases. Great value and hospitality.

Great hotel!
This place saved my life - well, my passport anyway. A testament to their amazing service - I left my passport in the room after leaving for another island. They arranged to have it delivered via ferry to my next location (Mykonos). Even without their amazing helpfulness, I would still give this place great marks. Great location right on the harbor, very nice (a bit old fashioned, though I'd call it charming) room, and an awesome breakfast delivered right to my room.

Great location in Syros
We arrived late due to ferry service but we were welcomedby the owners. There were a few flights of stairs and were assisted with our luggage. There was a lovely breakfast served in our room every morning. Staff were all very friendly and helpful in suggesting restaurants and places to visit on the island.

Ideally located near the port
We booked this hotel due to its proximity to the port as we were only stopping over one night on our way to Mykonos and our ferry didn't get in until around 2.30am. We could see the hotel when we arrived and it was an easy 5-10 mins walk around the harbour with 24 hour check in so perfect if you arriving by ferry late at night like us. We were pleasantly surprised by the room which was really nicely decorated and very comfortable - it was a shame we were there for such a short time.

Πολύ όμορφο νεοκλασικό κτίριο στο κέντρο της Ερμούπολης, κοντά στο λιμάνι και στην πλατεία με τα πόδια. Το κτίριο δεν έχει ασανσέρ, καθότι διατηρητέο. Το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ άνετο, όχι όμως και το κρεβάτι, καθώς το στρώμα ήταν πολύ σκληρό. Το πρωινό ήταν καλό, με λίγες επιλογές.
