Hydra Bys Havn

I stayed two nights at Lotus Center Inn in late April 2026 as part of a wider "odyssey" across mainland Greece. The hotel is well located a few steps from Monastiraki Square. The room was OK, but a detractor was the odour from the sewer occasionally coming up to the bathroom.

Her er den rettede version med “bus holdeplads”: Godt hotel med enkelte væsentlige udfordringer Ophold: Jeg boede på 2. sal med udsigt mod en bus holdeplads og en restaurant. Det positive: Hotellet er generelt rigtig godt. Det er rent, personalet er meget søde og hjælpsomme, og servicen er i top. Morgenmaden er også fin – faktisk over gennemsnittet. Derudover ligger hotellet rigtig godt tæt på metro, hvilket gør det nemt at komme rundt. Det negative: Desværre var der flere ting, som trak oplevelsen ned: Aircondition virkede ikke, da den var koblet sammen med et andet system på hotellet og derfor ikke kunne bruges. Værelset blev derfor meget varmt, og den eneste løsning var at åbne vinduet. Det førte dog til en del støj: Trafik fra en bus holdeplads begyndte fra kl. 06.00, og der var aktivitet allerede inden da, hvilket kunne høres selv med lukket vindue. Derudover kom der lugtgener fra restauranten om aftenen (ca. kl. 23–24), når de gjorde rent. Samlet vurdering: På grund af støj, varme og manglende søvn blev opholdet desværre påvirket negativt. Hvis man kan leve med disse forhold, er det ellers et rigtig godt hotel med mange kvaliteter.

Mixed stay great setting, but not the right fit for us Overall we had a pleasant enough experience, but it ultimately didn’t fully match what we were looking for. The resort itself is in a beautiful location right on the water, with a nice private beach and plenty of sunbeds and seating options. The beach area was definitely a bonus. with views across to Hydra. The room was fine standard but entry door not much soundproofing. That said, the overall atmosphere felt very much geared towards families with young children. It was quite a busy resort, especially towards our final night when a large number of guests arrived, and at times it felt crowded and lively in a way that didn’t suit the kind of quiet couples escape we had in mind. The buffet was fine but nothing particularly memorable good enough for convenience, but not a standout aspect of the stay. While the hotel itself is well maintained and the staff were generally pleasant and professional, we personally didn’t feel it was the best match for us as a gay couple. At times we felt a little uncomfortable due to the general guest environment, not because of the hotel staff, but simply the mix and atmosphere of the resort. In fairness, we did spend a lot of our time exploring other nearby areas, which we really enjoyed, but that also highlighted that the resort itself wasn’t quite aligned with our travel style. Overall, a nice property in a beautiful setting, but more of a family focused resort.
