Arion Boutique Hotel

My husband and I stayed in the Pink room at this beautiful boutique hotel for three glorious and relaxing nights. Everything was impeccable from the cleanliness, decor, comfort and most enjoyable for us the stunning views from the windows and balcony. Breakfast was delicious and the staff and family delightful. The Arion was the perfect place to stay and only a short 10 minute walk into the lovely town of Syros.

We were really looking forward to our stay at Arion based on the glowing reviews for this property and the appearance of their website. We booked it as somewhat of a "splurge" at the end of our trip. However for the price that is charged I don't feel the property lived up to the expectation $$$. The property is somewhat dated in terms of the furnishings in the room and the location is kind of alone, past Asteria Beach and at the top of a Hill. Almost a bit isolated in terms of atmosphere. It felt like you were creeping around the place (almost) being watched every time you came and went, due to the dynamic of the room/s setup. It just feels very old fashioned accommodation and this was not comfortable and lacked that relaxed good feel vibe. The breakfast was very simple especially if you were staying for longer than a couple of nights. The off cuts of bread for toast that exact same bread every day, no barista coffee machine and a lot of sweet stuff on offer. The best part was the fresh fruit/s and yoghurt! Lastly the water charge... Charging for the local Greek water that they stock in the mini bar I think is a bit sad based on the price you pay for the room. All Hotels I have stayed on Greek Islands provide water free of charge! At least a large bottle in the fridge on arrival to get you started. This should have been clear that they charge for this as part of the "mini bar". It's trying to be Boutique but missing the mark...

We had a fantastic vacation in hotel Arion. Absolutely amazing and truly sea relaxing from the first step at the hotel till seing goodbye. The staff, the view, the location, the food, everything was exactly how it's to be. Many thanks from family Kazakov.

Absolutely perfect! There is nothing we would change. This family owned hotel is an oasis of beauty and peace. On top of a cliff, the amazing view from the room is unique. The sound of the sea and the wind acompanies your stay. Depi is willing to help and assist clients in wichever they need. We felt spoiled by the whole family in this paradise.

Excellent staff and owner. Excellent breakfast. Very clean hotel. Very quiet hotel. Unlucky for the very hot weather Thanks Depi and family for everything you did for us. Hope to see you soon and as you have my Jordanian phone number if you come to Jordan call me

Excellent location - about 10 mins stroll (slight slope) into town. We stayed in one of the upper terrace rooms. The room was bright & well equipt. Terrace large - got sun in morning but shade in afternoon. Beautiful view. We named the maid “supper maid” as I’ve never seen as much care & attention when cleaning a room. On the first morning she even brought up a case stand for my husbands case as it was on the floor in the room. Breakfast was nice - homemade jams & marmalade. You have to leave a form each day with your request for the following morning. I did ask for 3 min soft boiled eggs (an option on the form) a couple of times but kept getting cold hard boiled eggs! So would avoid that option. Depi & the girls obviously take a great pride in their work & run a military operation. Very helpful with questions. A few minor things: would have been nice to have a second sun lounger on the terrace. Wi-Fi - you have to re log in every time. Minor I know & the password is easy to remember but a small inconvenience. If arriving from the port arrange your own taxi it’s only €5 but the hotel charge €20 to collect you. Would recommend a stay here.
