The bathroom is a bit small, but not a huge problem. We have stayed there before, and we will stay there again.

The location, the exceptional sea view, and the friendly staff.

The older gentleman tried to con me on the price of the taxi to the airport. He told me the fare was 35 euros and I was to pay him and he would pay the taxi driver. I guess I look more gullible that I thought! I paid the taxi driver 20 euros! Just a heads up warning!

Great location. Clean.

On the top of a steep hill!

Really nice views, good room and quiet

Difficult access to tea and coffee in the morning (kettle, etc in room would be very good) No option to opt out of having your room cleaned in the day Not sure how comfortable a long stay would be due to fridge and electric in the room (although fridge may have been on a different circuit-I didn’t try)

The view is absolutely spectacular! Staff friendly and kind enough to have kept our luggage while we waited for our ferry. Room nice and clean

Too many steps especially if you have heavy luggage. Uneven road leading to the hotel makes pulling luggage up there a challenge. The hotel is also quite dated & in desperate need of a revamp. We didn’t have breakfast but had a look and it is very basic. 

The property was quite close to the port & centrally located.

Unfortunately the bathroom was very small and easily flooded however, we were provided with new towels daily

Great location with access to a pool and beautiful view from every room!

A lot of steps up from the harbour!

Centrally located hotel, comfortable rooms

There were many steps to get to the hotel and although worth the effort for the views it was quite difficult for an older, unfit person such as myself to get there with my suitcase. I should mention there were lifts once inside the hotel. I also didn't particularly like the pillows.

The view from my room no:123 was on the top floor and the views were absolutely spectacular. Location was central to village square. My room was clean and comfortable.

The bed creaked and there are many unavoidable staircases both inside and out, which made us less inclined to pop in and out

The property is clean and has stunning views over the sea

Best views of Ag. kyrikos, close to town and port, easy street parking (free)

The breakfast wasn’t super great, it was not a lot and a lot of things very finished often. The towels gave of little particles and the matrasses were a little too hard in our opinion.

The staff was very kind and the view was absolutely amazing.

Everything was fine

The location was great! It was very clean!

The water pressure in the bathroom could be higher. Nothing to ruin your stay though.

The room was clean and the staff was very polite. The view from the room was very nice too.

Nothing. We really liked this family run hotel. It’s rooms are modest and well-priced.

The Kastro is an excellent value hotel with harbour views in Agios Kirykos, a charming town on Ikaria. It was immaculately clean with a number of extra features that we liked. It has a small pool with a shaded lounging area with harbour views -a wonderful place to cool off on hot afternoons. The air conditioned room had a mini-fridge and small balcony with a view. The breakfast was good and well-priced. The owner was helpful and informative about Ikaria. He let us know what was going on in the town and where the festival ( panagyri) was, etc. Some reviews have mentioned the steps to the hotel as a negative.But is not uncommon for Greek island towns to have steps and hills. Second, there is a road ( if you arrive as we did by taxi or car, you drive up to the door, no steps). All in all this hotel was perfect for our 5 day stay. We heard local musicians ( and danced) , swam in nearby natural hot springs, watched the Independence Day parade and the annual chess tournament.

Aircon didn’t really cool the room very well and it was very hot in middle of summer.

Beautiful view. Good price. In the centre of town. Enjoyed the pool.

Although it’s a great location there is Limited parking in front of hotel.

Despite the steps and walk to hotel it’s a great location overlooking the town and harbour. It’s quiet and very peaceful. The view overlooking the harbour from my room was beautiful.

The interior is a bit outdated but it doesn't prevent one from enjoying the stay in this beautiful town.

The location is very convenient, the view from the balcony is great, the room has everything you need. I wish I could come again.

The hotel stayed open till 00.15 at night for me as my ferry was later than expected, great sea views

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone with mobility issues. We have stayed there a number of times but the many steps to reach it and then to get to the room was challenging this time.

We like the funky vibe…no one trying too hard. We like the views from the terraces.
