I paid a little extra for my sister and I to get an apartment style room with a sea view, and I thought it was worth it! I loved every aspect of this place: the gorgeous view from the balcony, the spotless rooms, the big bathtub, the little beach down below, the sumptuous breakfasts (yes, everyone is right, the homemade orange marmalade is completely delicious), and the kind and helpful hotel manager Despina (I hope I got her name right). It is located a bit off the beaten path; I personally think a rental car is a must to really see Chios and to reach this hotel. But I was glad to find the area did not feel touristy at all. I would recommend this place 100 percent!
