Francesco's Reviews

Description

Francesco's is the number one rated accomodation from Hostelz.com travellers in all of Ios, and with good reason, just take a look at the sunset view from our terrace bar at your right, thats what you could be enjoying your cocktails to each evening during your stay in Ios.

We are located in Ios town, just a short stumble from the night life in the main square and a 10 minute walk from the main beach. There are also six other beaches within comfortable walking distance. There is no need to have a long, dark walk home at night after your bar hopping adventures.

We are a family run hostel where everybody is made to feel at home and all your needs are catered to. From the time you arrive to the time you depart you become part of the Francescos family.

There is an air-conditioned terrace bar with satellite television and breakfast café which overlooks the port, beach, and one of the best sunset views on the island, as you can see in the photo. All guests are invited for a free welcome drink and a chance to meet fellow travellers in our friendly bar to start their first night on Ios. None of our guests ever pay the cover charge at the famous Ios Blue Note, one of the most popular clubs on the island.

Some of the amenities which are offered at Francesco's include 24-hour hot water, a new reception area with internet cafe, tourist information and information on boat and plane tickets etc. , and all guests are encouraged to make use of our free safety deposit boxes. We also have an extensive travellers book exchange and no curfew or lock outs to disrupt your night or day.

There are double, triple, and quad rooms available for up to 150 people. All rooms have been newly renovated. Most have private bathrooms and there are also rooms available with shared facilities. All private rooms have air conditioning, televisions and telephones. A number of rooms have private balconies with ocean views. There are also dorm beds available for solo travellers. All rooms are serviced daily as we pride ourselves on how spotlessly clean our accomodation is, we realise what a difference this makes to a guests stay.

On your day of checkout we offer free left luggage and free showers if you decide to go to the beach and have an afternoon or night ferry to catch.

After you make your booking with us all you have to do is either e mail or call us with your boat details and our driver Matthew will pick you up from the boat free of charge, and also drop you off when you are leaving, which is also for free.

So dont waste any time guys and girls get booking and we hope to see you during the summer. And please remember book early for July and August as this is an extremely busy period for us.

LONELY PLANET SAYS - 'The well run Francescos,with good clean rooms, is near the centre of things and is a lively meeting place for backpackers.The party spirit rules supreme. It has a busy bar and terrace with great views of the harbour'

LETS GO SAYS 'The Godfather of accomodations in Ios, Francesco oversees a family of hotels. Standard rooms with private bath and air conditioning sit atop a convial terrace bar.'

Location and Contact

Location

• We suggest our guests call us on +30 22860 91223 international or 22860 91223 from in Greece to let us know which ferry they plan to arrive on so that our driver Matthew can meet them in the port and provide a free of charge transfer..
• Otherwise when you arrive at the port take the bus into the centre, get off the bus at the town bus stop. Cross the street and walk up the path into town. In front of you will be a travel agent and a church. Take a left behind the church and then turn right immediately. This will take you past two shoe shops and into a little square. Go through the square and take the path that leads uphill from the right corner. Take the first left at the Diesel shop. We are at the end of that path.
• But again we ask that you just call us a couple of days in advance and we can give you a free transfer.
