We loved our stay at Olga’s! Dimitris went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time in Ios - sharing his local knowledge and booking us into popular (and amazing) bars and restaurants. Lovely family owned and run hotel - warm and welcoming with great breakfast, peaceful pool area and beautiful room with sea and pool view. Everything was clean and homey. We can’t wait to come back to Olga’s again next year!

Olga’s pension is a hidden gem in Ios

Staying at Olga’s pension made me feel like part of the family. Roula is absolutely wonderful, and her uncle even gave me a ride across the island one night when no cabs were available. The property is spotless, pool is beautiful, and just all around experience was lovely. Great value to boot!

The people serving in the hotel was nice, and the pool also. Nevertheless the room and the toilet (includind shower) was not good. Old and with failures, the toilet too small and the shower losing water... A pity.

The best!!!

The most hospitable, picturesque, welcoming and friendlies environment. We felt like we stayed not in a hotel but in a family home! So exquisitely beautiful and classy from the large spotless room to the huge pools and bar. It started with our free hotel transfer and ended with amazing brunch on check out couldnt thank Dimitri enough for his hard work throughout pur stay! Thank you! Would recommend for everyone to stay here whether on fun holiday with friends or romantic getaway this is the perfect place with perfect location.

This hotel is incredible!

This family-owned business is absolutely incredible. The hotel is close to the port and bus stop (which conveniently takes you anywhere around town), has an amazing pool with bar-side, and is very clean with great service. The family members that operate the hotel are extremely helpful and kind-hearted; constantly providing great tips and advice whenever and wherever they could. I highly recommend this hotel.

Near the port!

This is great place to stay. Do not look up the directions for "Olga's pension" on google maps...it will take you to the village (which is very far away). It's near the port, a taxi driver knew where it was, so ask one of them. There is a warning tho: if you search for places in Santorini, this place will show up even though it's on a different island...Ios . We made that mistake, but the owner and manager were very helpful. We first requested a refund because we weren't initially planning on going to Ios. Even tho we booked the non-refundable rate, they were willing to refund it if the booking agency didn't already charge us. They did, and there were no ferries until the next day so they moved our booking so we could start the next night instead, very generous given we had the no-change rate. Ios was great! Definitely recommend visiting!

No signage

Olga's was just ok for me. It had a very lovely pool area, everyone we interacted with was friendly, and the owner sent us an email when we booked offering to pick us up at the port. We were already in Ios so we didn't take it, but it was still a nice offer, because there are no signs anywhere on the pension. No sign on the road or on the building itself or on the grounds. We used a GPS and asked a local where it was and found it without a problem but were a little worried we were wandering into someone's mansion or something rather than actually getting to the hotel. The rooms were ok, but the bathroom had an not-screened window and we got some bugs in through it. The bathroom also smelled just a little weirdly bad and there was very bad pressure in the shower. Also there were no blankets, just sheets, but it is warm in Ios so that was fine.

Struttura veramente adorabile a pochi minuti dal porto di Ios, raggiungibile a piedi in 5-10 min. La distanza da Chora è anch'essa gestibile a piedi con un percorso in salita di c.ca 20 min, o mediante trasporti pubblici ben serviti. La struttura è molto pulita, con annessa piscina e bar adiacente. Soddisfacente anche la colazione, cui suggeriamo lo yogurt veramente freschissimo. Il personale gentilissimo ci ha supportato in tantissimi consigli sull'isola e per il noleggio dello scooter con cui abbiamo scoperto i punti più remoti dell'isola.
