bloody excellent all round!! i whole-heartedly recommend! amazing location, the staff were great, theres internet and you're in the middle of everything! 1 min walk from the clubs but you can't hear them when your in your room! AMAZING VIEWS TOO! and the bar is really cheap and fun to meet other travellers. if you want an amazing feed (reasonable prices too) go to harmony (mexican food) on the beach where far out beach club is. you wont regret it.

Simply the absolut perfect place to meet backpackers and party all night long. Not much to do or see on the island but didn't matter after all the partying the amazing beach was all I needed in the day time.

Maria and Francesco are unbelievably accomodating. We have had an incredible experience here in Ios, and it is in large part due to our time here at Francesco's. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It is clean, safe, fun, and in a perfect location! You can't help but fall in love with the homly feel, incredible views, and warm staff. We intended on 3 nights here, and ended up staying for two weeks!!

Maria, Francesco's wife is amazing, the nicest woman ever, and took really good care of us!! We were some of the only people at the hostel since we came at the very beginning of the season but everything was great none-the less. The hostel was not only the cleanest ive ever seen, with good size rooms and a great location but had one of the best views on the Island. They told us the best places to go and the ones that would be open and always gave us directions. We were a pretty big and not too quite group but that was never a problem either. I would highly recomned this place to anyone looking to have a great, fun vacation it was definitally my best trip ever, and i can't stop raving about this place!
