From the moment they pick you up from the port, Francesco's friendly staff is there willing to help you. They give you helpful tips, help you out in anyway and even will take you out to get a taste of the Ios nightlife. Our room was great - clean, comfortable and a million dollar view of the entire island. Two... more

Dear oh dear, what is happening to Francesco's? It really is going badly down-hill, thanks to a large extent of the staff, who really try hard to be unhelpful. I stayed here before a couple of years back, and loved the place, but after my stay this time, I've vowed never to come back. The good stuff: the hotel is... more

Absolutely loved this hostel! From the first time you walk onto the patio that overlooks the town and harbour you fall in love. Clean rooms, wonderful staff that make you feel like part of the family. Welcome shots everynight around 10 p.m. and then a pub crawl starting at Blue Notes. Will definantly be coming back someday, until then the... more

Francescos was definately one of the best hostels Ive ever stayed! Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, steps away from all the bars, nightclub, restaurants, market and stores. To go to the beach you can either walk down (about 20 min) or take the bus, very easy! The private room are great, with ensuite bathroom, TV, hairdryer, everything. The dorm are... more

What an amazing stay. Four of us got two doubles, one with a balcony and amazing view, great place to hang out in the evening before going out. Clean, safe, and loads of fun. 1030pm meeting at the bar then everyone goes out together. Great staff too. Will stay there again when i return. more

Great, fun place to stay for young travelers! The rooms are a good size and clean. They have safety deposit boxes in the reception office, there is a bar and a great breakfast restaurant pretty much in the hostel. They are strict with noise during the night so if you go to sleep earlier than the average guest, you won't... more

If i could only say one thing about my six days at Francesco's it would be to tell everyone that they must must MUST stay there. This is really the only place for young travellers looking to meet people and have a really amazing time in a clean and beautiful place. Our room was simple but nice and great for... more

Loved Francesco and his hostel! Great room, very large with a huuuuge balcony overlooking Ios - we had a fantastic view and enough room to have a party on our balcony. Very clean and the bathroom was the most decent we had while in Greece. Good location too, close to the bars and the shops/restaurants. The staff who picked us... more

Francesco's was recommended to us by a friend, who was completely bang on with his description! Friendly staff, clean hostel, beautiful scenery, great food, lots of travellers to meet and ....HUGE party! Ios is an incredible island where all people speak English. It is easy to travel around the whole island if you rent a car. Or if you would... more
