Very enjoyable stay...
We stayed 5nights at Helmos hotel. Overall very pleased with our stay. Great location and the hotel in general was in very good condition. The owner is a great person, very welcoming and always present and willing to help. The only minor downside for us was that they could be a bit more on top with the cleanliness of the rooms. Notably changing the bath mat and the bedding more often. The mattresses were not the most comfortable, but were clean. Overall, we were satisfied and we would happily visit it again.

Great stay
We stayed at Hotel Helmos for a week, and was really pleased with our stay. The room was really nice, and the location was great. The owner was lovely, and very helpful, giving us lots of good tips and recommendations.

A great little hotel
What a great little hotel! It’s 2 minutes away from a beautiful beach 5 minutes from the city center. The rooms are big and clean and even have a beautiful little terrace to relax on. The host is so nice and friendly and he is making the whole Naxos island experience even better. He has a lot of helpful tips and is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable. We highly recommend this hotel as the price and location are unbeatable. Can’t wait to return :)

Friendly welcome, good size rooms, very convenient
Hotel Helmos is in a perfect spot between Ag. Georgios beach and Naxos Hora. Our room on the first floor was in an old part of the building with double doors, a good size which would be ideal for parents & child (although we were just a couple) - double bed in one room with bathroom off, and a single bed and fridge, kettle, etc in other part with sliding door between if req. Interesting ceiling lights. Narrow balcony outside. Some traffic and late night noise at night, but not bad. WiFi good. Vassilis was very friendly & helpful, especially after we left! I had lost my glasses (tucked in dress, must have fallen off on stairs or room as I left with cases). We telephoned and they were found & posted to us at our rooms on Paros.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Naxos and it was made even better due to the comfortable room and warm welcome we received from Vasilis, the hotel owner. He was informative and understanding when we arrived very late. The room is huge and the bed very big and comfortable. The shower was a waterfall shower which was heaven to come back to after our sailing trip! It was very close to town which meant we could comfortably get home without a worry. The area is vibrant and full of restaurants. This was such good value for for money - we would definitely come again! It felt like home and we loved our stay!

Exactly as depicted and hoped for!
This hotel did not disappoint me once. It was a great location from which to enjoy the local beach and the centre of town with shopping and restaurants. Vassilis was very helpful with regard to transfers from the port and booking a round the island tour (a must if you really want to understand the landscape). The tour was extremely enjoyable and inexpensive and I would thoroughly recommend it. The area around the hotel was a bit noisy at times, but the shutters could easily be closed which blocked it out. I loved the little balcony. The shower and bathroom were both great and the room was spacious and clean. Many thanks to Vassilis.

Perfect base for a great island
After you have settled down, the owner, Vassilis, sits you down to point out the must-dos on Naxos patiently. He even assisted to book a day tour, and returned my rental car key while you can focus every precious second exploring the quaint chora and sights. Every facility in the room worked well, with a bathroom which feels so uniquely Greek to me that it is one of my favourites in all my travels. Feel free to make arrangement with Vassilis for shuttle service. He was a friend whom aided in creating unforgettable memories for this solo traveller.

Very nice hotel аnd a hospitable owner!
I and my wife enjoyed 10 nights in this wonderful hotel. We had a tastefully decorated room in white colour with a double bed. The room had everything you need: air conditioning, quick wi-fi, refrigerator, in-room safe, shower with hot water, hairdryer, and more. The room had a balcony overlooking the port with arriving ferries. Cleaning was done every day. The hotel is very convenient location: 3-4 minutes walk to the beach. The embankment, many restaurants, the port, the old town are all very close. Special thanks to express the owner of the hotel - Vasilis - a very kind and hospitable person. Answer any questions, and tell you where to go and what to see on the island. When we were tired for a long journey, we arrived at the hotel - fresh fruit and cold water were waiting for us in the room. It was very nice. We'd love to come back here again :)

One regret - we wish we stayed longer
The only disappointing point of our stay in Helmos hotel ..we regret we didn’t spent there more nights! This charming gem has only 8 rooms so we were lucky to book one (6 months in advance!).The hotel offers complimentary pickups and drop offs to/from airport or port. How amazing and convenient is that? The location of the hotel is superb: a few minutes’ walk to the centre of Naxos town as well as from ferry port and from St.George beach. Yet it is hidden away from the main street. The market is right around the corner and there is no shortage of tavernas in any direction. So really everything is within walking distance including beach. Our room was simple but wonderful: spacious, super clean, airy, with big windows and little cute balcony. We were absolutely in love with unique décor of the room: it had many nice touches and quirky decorations (ladder for towels, nautical light fixtures, modern sink in a cave-like bathroom, to name a few), mix of old and new and it worked together perfectly: cozy and inviting. The TV was ancient but we did not care, we simply didn’t have timeor TV :) Maybe it is a basic hotel - but definitely not 2*! We loved everything about our experience in simple Helmos: convenient service getting from ferry and to the airport, our comfortable room, excellent location, amazing value, chatting with helpful and kind Vasilis and even hanging out with his little kitten! :) If you are lucky to get a room in this lovely place – you will not regret it!

We had an amazing stay - the host was extremely welcoming and relaxed, making us feel very comfortable. The room was large with a great shower and air conditioning. The hotel location is a two minute walk into town and 10-15 minute walk from the ferry port so very convenient. He also made great suggestions on places to eat. Go to sirocco and meze2 to eat. Would highly recommend this place in a heartbeat !

Excellent location for a lovely hotel
The hotel has been renovated and attention has been payed to details to make the room comfortable with all you might need. It is located next to the post office and easy to wheel your luggage there. The hotel is right in the centre of everything. Close to the port, the nightlife, shops and St George beach. Its size, provision of a kettle, refrigerator, balcony with a part view of the sea all make this place lovely to stay in. The owner provided advice and a map of what can be enjoyed on the island and was generally ready to answer any questions.

surprisingly well
The hotel had a nice design combining the existing old furniture with modern touches. The room we stayed was the biggest room that we had during our island hopping. The bathroom was big and functional as well. Only problem was the smell in the bathroom which might be due to old sewage system of the island. It is in walking distance to the beach and the center. There is also private parking available. We really wished that we booked more than 3 days in Hotel Helmos.

Convenient, Accommodating, Clean, Spacious
I absolutely loved my stay at Helmos. When I arrived, I was greeted and was shown my very clean room (I am very picky about cleanliness) with a spacious bathroom, refrigerator and a balcony. I had a single room, which still had a full/queen bed. Oh, and I forgot to mention the complimentary plate full of fruit and large bottle of water. Then, I was given a map and explained areas worth visiting and how to get around. The wi-fi is excellent and there's a TV in the room also. I was only a 3 minute walk to the beach, the port and ancient town of Naxos- all with restaurants, shops, bars and cafes. Plus, Naxos town also has everything you'd need for dining and shopping. In my opinion, the location is unbeatable. Also, I have been accommodated with my later check-out, which helped me a lot. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Charming hotel in Naxos, great value for money
Our stay at Hotel Helmos was very pleasant. The owner wad very attentive and helpful, giving us good advice on activities and sightseeing. Our room was a double with ensuite bathroom and a fridge, spacious enough for a couple, with plenty of humble and charming Mediterranean character, rustic but lovely and well maintained.I t also featured a lovely terrace with a table and two chairs to enjoy a simple breakfast or dry your clothes. The air conditioner and free WiFi really helped as well. The location of the hotel was perfect for both the beach and centre of town. Can't recommend it enough!

Hyvä hotelli keskeisellä sijainnilla. Hotellin pitäjä on erittäin ystävällinen ja avulias, hotelli Helmoksessa tuntee olevansa tervetullut. Viihtyisä ja tilava huone. Kylpyhuone myös hyvä, suihku ei kastele koko kylpyhuonetta. Viereiseltä kadulta kantautuva melu häiritsee öisin jonkin verran, jos on herkkäuninen.

Helmos Hotel - a super place!
Helmos is an absolute pearl, great rooms, very fair price and the owner Vasilis is such a star. The hotel location is for us the best; right between the city and the beach with 6-8min walk either direction. The one thing you may want to be careful with is the shop just beside, pricey, instead go one block up to a proper supermarket. We have been at Helmos a few years now and will certainly come back again!

Personnel chaleureux, nous avons été accueillis et reconduits au port à notre arrivée comme au départ. L'hôtel est idéalement placé à proximité de tout (centre ville, plage, supermarché, restaurants...). La chambre était très spacieuse avec une cuisine séparée et une grande salle de bain à l'italienne lumineuse et aérée par une large fenêtre. La climatisation est silencieuse et la literie confortable. Le dressing offre beaucoup de place pour le rangement. Un vrai petit appartement propre, calme avec une décoration moderne. Rien à redire pourvu que le succès ne leur monte pas à la tête 😉
