I cannot express how pleased we were with our stay here. Due to a booking snafu, we had to split our two night stay at two separate locations. So, we booked this hotel for our second night at the last minute. The first night was spent at a more expensive hotel with a waterfront view. However, after staying at the Cotommate Hydra 1810, we wished we had stayed both nights there. The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful- arranging luggage transfer and making dinner reservations for us as well. This was far superior to the treatment at our first location. The room was lovely with a historical feel, but with modern conveniences. Special touches included sampling of homemade cherry preserves and a sweet local to Hydra. The breakfast in the morning was outstanding with a huge variety of dishes to please diverse tastes. The grounds are spectacular as well with a lovely garden and terrace overlooking the countryside that was a lovely spot in the evening. It is only a five minute walk (maybe) from the bustle of the harbor but so tranquil and peaceful compared to our noisy experience staying by the waterfront. Overall, the experience felt more like being welcomed into a family home than a hotel. Absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend this location, and would be ecstatic to get to go back again sometime in the future! Thank you!!

There was nothing about this property we didn't love. The only possible negative would be that it is not on the waterfront, as some people really want that experience. As I said, this hotel far exceeds our waterfront hotel experience on Hydra.

The hotel is lovely and the staff was wonderful! My room was very comfortable and the bed was one of the best I had in Greece. Loved Hydra!

The pictures and descriptions of the hotel on the Booking.com site made it seem like there was a hot tub/patio that was available to all guests. I was disappointed that was private and attached to one of the guest suites.

One of the original mansions converted to a pretty, historic hotel. Loved all the courtyards, balconies, sitting areas, little gardens. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you Yanni! Location perfect, 300 yards from the port; busy, touristy area with all the restaurants and shops. But the hotel itself is in very quiet, peaceful area. Breakfast was nice, maybe should be more varied from day to day. Classic Greek breakfast.

Being a historic mansion with much of the furnishings still original and restored, things are pretty, but not modern. AC could be little better, but was acceptable. Bathroom little cramped, lot of water splashing. No big deal.

Location, the property (used to be a mansion) and the room were amazing. It is just a 10 minute walk from the port. The rooms are all unique and very nicely done with great space.

Close to the enterance the municipality put in these large trash bins. I wish they were not there and I know the hotel can do nothing about it. But they are just at the entrance, ligned up towards the entrance. The hotel has no views as it is not on a hilltop - this was no problem for us aa the property is so nice (but keep it in mind).

Nice location- gentle slope from port - big room - exceptionally good quality bedding and towels- very friendly manager/owner

I didn’t like not having any outside space to room- however this was my choice as other rooms that had outside space were on 2 floors. breakfast wasn’t to my taste as a lot of sweet stuff- to be honest though I find this in most Greek hotels - so more a taste thing on my part

A beautiful little hotel that has captured its history with original wood walls, antiques throughout and yet updated for modern comfort. Also the breakfast was plentiful and good.

My only complaint is that the door to our room was tough to handle, especially with weakened 'old' hands. But by the end of our stay, I think I finally figured out how to work the lock and door handle.

The hotel is beautiful. There are so many antiques decorating the building. Breakfast was amazing every morning. The staff could not have been friendlier. The walk to the hotel did not have stairs you just had to be careful walking on the stone road.

It was a hike up the road, but by the third day it wasn't so bad.

Nice breakfast buffet. Room comfortable and the house is at a good location (close to the sea front but in a calm street). Yiannis explained what is where on the island and suggested some nice activities.

Our room was very close to the entry and reception and did not feel very private.

Beautifully decorated, intimate and cosy with all modern cons - absolute heaven and I slept so well! I’ve been to Hydra a number of times and this is now by far my preferred place to stay.

Nothing at all, it really is a gem!

Everything about this hotel was perfect! From Check in to Breakfast, to our GORGEOUS room. Yiannis was an excellent host, and all the staff we encountered were lovely. There's even a cute Tortoise in the garden! Would stay here again without question. 10/10

We didn't like that we had to leave! If we could've stayed longer we would have :)
