If you are coming to Ios to have fun & party then this is the place to stay. The friendliest staff, very welcoming and nothing is any trouble. They have the formula for any one coming to Ios to meet great people, have fun and party it up. I would recommend staying here to anyone....I will be back again.....once my... More

What an amazing place. The warmest welcome, friendliest staff, most magnificent view and the best atmosphere. The Francesco's team makes it their mission to make your holiday unforgettable (and your nights long, fun and alcoholic). The best place in the Greek islands by far, they have my vote for place I most want to go back to. Not to be... More

Well Ios is the party Island and Francesco's is a great place to base yourself. The friendly staff make it a great place to relax and enjoy a beer over a setting sun. They will then help you get on your way for a night out on the town. From the moment you shuffle your way off the ferry, the... More

This place is incredible! They come to the port to pick you up and take you right to the hostel. The staff is friendly, and goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable, and have a good time. By far the most outgoing and fun people you've ever met are employed here... and stay here too. As a... More

Francesco and staff were overly welcoming and helpful; picking us up from the ferry, helping to carry our obnoxious suitcase up a lot of broad blue and white stairs, and doing their best to accommodate anything we needed. rooms and bathrooms aren't the most practical but no less so than any other i experienced travelling through Europe or Greece.

This was the ultimate hostel, close to shops, bars, clubs and food. Has an amazing sunset view, friendly staff and the rooms were clean. Only annoying part was no shower head (although standard throughout Greece) and we arrived at the tail end of the season and had a ball! Francesco who runs the place is great, highly reccommend to any... More

We recently stayed at Francesco's hostel in Ios, thinking it was going to be a great time to party and relax by the pool. Especially after hearing so many fantastic reviews about the hostel. Unfortunately we had money stolen from our wallets, whilst out of the room and was threatened that if we did not leave our room before 11pm... More

We loved Francesco's, the location is great right in the middle of the town so going out is easy. Most people tend to only go to far out camping during the day so you can either catch a bus (1.60 euro) or walk. We only went a couple of times though because the pool was good and the closer port...

I think the previous reviewer meant Ios, not Athens! With possibly the best balcony in the entire known universe, friendly attentive staff and the fraternal care of Francesco and Maria, this is the most welcoming, homely place I've ever stayed. Solo travellers will inevitably make lots of new friends at the bar or on the terrace in the evenings. Mainly... More
