Breakfast was served in their cafe terrace, it was absolutely delicious.

Our stay was very comfortable and I would particularly highlight the breakfast and the breakfast staff.

The staff were outstanding and the breakfast menu amazing.

We arrived very late after 2 ferry rides and a delayed ferry
Service here is impeccable 
Breakfast and a veranda with menus Loved the toast with poached eggs and slices of avacados 
Wonderful cappuccino Fresh squeezed orange juice
A platform where you can lounge and read a book
We had a room with a shared balcony overlooking the sea
I would highly recommend this hotel

Breakfast was plentiful and beautifully presented on the terrace.

The breakfast was great and was beautiful to the eyes.

Great breakfast on terrace next to the sea and comvenient location.

They also recommended Avant Garden which was so delicious we are there both nights.

but they treated us to their complimentary breakfast which is served until 1pm -- great for our lazy sleep-in mornings.

The breakfast was good, and the dining area is so pretty.

The breakfast was delicious with so many wonderful options.

The winderful complimentary breakfast is ordered from an extensive menu, and includes fresh squeezed orange juice, several types of omlettes, poached eggs, fresh salads, lots of healthy choices.

The food, especially the breakfast, is delicious, the location is perfect, and the owners are wonderful.

Breakfast overlooking the water each morning was fantastic.

The college student breakfast server was wonderful and friendly.

The breakfasts were superb, out on a lower terrace or inside on level one looking out at the ocean.

Quality and service is exceptional as is the breakfast!

We were then taken to our room which was on the same level as the breakfast terrace.

Three to four days is an adequate stay in Syros which allows time for you to explore the main town with its marble paved roads and neoclassical architecture; and Ano Syros with its narrow alleyways and thousands of steps; as well as visit nearby beaches- Kini being the best.

From the moment you walk in you are transported back to another era.

The hotel has beautiful painted ceilings with antique furnishings and Venetian chandeliers.

This mansion from the 1800s has been transformed into a boutique hotel with a mixture of classical and modern art.

The atmosphere is magical, the service impeccable and above all the hospitality of the owners legendary.

I also enjoyed the homier decor instead of the very minimalist, neutral Greek decor I found to be common.

The room was huge and decorated beautifully.

The rooms and public areas are exquisitely designed and decorated to the smallest detail.

This place is so good - the location, staff, furnishings, food - everything is first rate.

It is in a gorgeous, special building right near the main square, thoughtfully restored and fully updated, decorated throughout with beautiful contemporary art and antique furniture.

The rooms are exquisitely decorated with incredible art and fabrics.

The artistic theme throughout the hotel also helps bring a peaceful mood.

This beautifully restored 19th century mansion has more comforts than home.

We are absolutely satisfied with everything: every detail of the decoration, politeness, excellent service, caring stuff, delicious breakfast etc, etc, etc.

I first came across the hotel in a glossy TASCHEN coffee table book and fell in love with its romantic, old world charm

Our (Double Sea view room) was beautifully decorated with soaring ceilings (as was the whole mansion).

The hotel location, views, and design are all incredible.

The food was exquisite both in terms of quality and variety and was prepared according to our specifications.

Even a nice library with scores of books about travel, art, and history.

Konstantinos provided a friendly welcome and lots of helpful suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants.

Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful.

Breakfast on the terrace was excellent - the staff there were very friendly, the views were excellent and our order was freshly made each day - no crowding around a buffet here!!

Nothing was too much trouble for the delightful, always smiling friendly staff including (owner) Lea, Elphida and Alex.

Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, generous, omni-present when one wants them,

Really friendly staff, good location on the water (swim platform was fun) and close to main town with restaurants and shops, delicious breakfast served until 1pm for convenience.

First class accomodation excellent welcoming, friendly staff.

The beautiful architecture and furnishings in the hotel is matched by the friendly and attentive staff.

Very friendly, clean with excellent service.

All the other staff are friendly and helpful.

Added to all this the owner and her staff are friendly, helpful and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and cared for.

Friendly and cozy, makes you feel like home!

The owners and staff where very accommodating and friendly, catering to all our needs.

Everyone was extremely friendly and professional, the view was breathtaking, the location is very convenient and I highly recommend Ploes hotel.

[tip: Artisti PROZYMI, located on the main square, for the best spanakopita in Ermoupoli]

This luxury hotel is not only beautiful and has a great location, the staff is amazing.

From the location to the extraordinary people, we could not have loved more.

The location is ideal -- steps from all the charming cafés and alleyways.

From the very warm and welcoming staff to the elegant setting and location we had a wonderful stay.

The location was superb, we loved Syros and the town of Hermoupolis very different to anywhere else in Greece and the Hotel Ploes was a short walk to the town.

Fantastic location the shortest of walks from the city centre and ferry terminal.

We found the location to be very easy and close to all.

The hotel is beautiful & in a great location.

The hotel is located in the best part of Syros right on the water and as soon as you walk in the door you are in a comfortable and special space.

The location is very convenient and the palazzo is beautifully kept and appointed with eclectic furniture and art.

Magnificent boutique hotel, the rooms, the views, the service…
The location was absolutely perfect.

I imagine the clientele is generally a bit older,

We (two adults and two older kids in two rooms) ended up staying 10 days and we will most definitely come back soon.

The building is a beautiful old mansion, full of modern and older art.

The warmth of the team, attention to detail and overall personal service was very special.

The service was the best that I have had anywhere.

Service to the room was excellent and very discrete - every morning after we came back from breakfast the room had been made up.

- and/or sit in the bar and restaurant area overlooking the bay and enjoy the great service.

The service at the hotel couldn't have been better.

Above all the service and the friendliness of the owners and all the staff from the moment we arrived until we left made our stay truly exceptional.

Every day we were welcomed with smiles, great service and caring.

The hotel is stunning and the service is unbeatable.

The service was impeccable and the owners such a joy!

Highly recommend this hotel - ambiance, service, friendliness from the staff, food  - all excellent.

Hotel Ploes is a beautiful and charming space with excellent service.

It is not only the hotel, the location and the service perfect,

I arrived late at night after the late ferry from Athens and was greeted at the entrance with a welcome drink and candies.

He kindly booked our restaurants  each evening.

Constantin and the rest of the team are so professional and attentive.

He was always kind and so helpful it clearly turn our experience from amazing to unforgettable.

We were greeted by the charming and knowledgeable concierge, Konstantinos, who had already helped me make several plans virtually once we booked.

The staff couldn't have been any more helpful or welcoming and made us feel like family especially Constantine who was the best concierge, tour guide, historian and host ever!

The concierge Constantine is helpful, genuine, smart, and funny.

Hotel Ploes is a lovely hotel with an incredible view and very helpful staff.

The owner gave us great info on restaurants and what to do on Syros.

Lovely quaint boutique hotel with owners onsite.

The last two days of our stay it became warm enough to have breakfast outdoors on the sunny terrace overlooking the ocean.

We had the very top/quiet room which had a large roof terrace overlooking the ocean.

The terrace was beautiful and we loved having a drink out there before heading out to dinner.

but through our window we could see the ocean beyond the terrace.

We had a room with a private terrace and a breathtaking view.

Drinks on the outside terrace near the bar overlooking the sea and the sun set is just beautiful.

From the terrace where we were having our breakfast each morning, we had an amazing view of the sea and the beautiful mansions of Vaporia.

The view from the terrace or the sea plateforme is breathtaking.

We had booked a suite with sea view and terrace for four nights.

The daily breakfast is a dream come true, served in the cozy outdoor terrace overlooking the sea.

Days begin with breakfasts served at their seaside terrace.

Yoga mat, tea kettle, space to write, private terrace overlooking the sea.

Beautiful location, charming room with outlook over the terrace to the sea, excellent breakfast.

Our room was on the top floor with a huge terrace overlooking the sea and the charming city.

Because of the wind we couldn't use the terrace

It is the most beautiful 19th Century grand villa, right on the waterfront - breakfasts on their terrace were divine (and food was plentiful!).

You will not believe the view from your terrace upon the blue sea.

The decor incredible not to mention the unbelievable view from the breakfast verandah and then another level down to our own sunbathing and swimming spot directly from the hotel.

Terrace and balconies offer a beautiful view of the Aegean Sea and the veranda has easy access to a private swimming area with sun beds, perched above the water.

Lovely, charming hotel overlooking the sea.

The room was beautiful and the view was extraordinary.

Jumping into the ocean from the deck was amazing.

I also loved all the space to sprawl out and of course, the magical views of the sea when you wake up.

Our room, in the back on the 2nd floor, was a deeply relaxing and luxurious place to stay, with a Murano glass chandeliers, super high, hand painted ceilings, a stunning view of the water, and a huge bathroom with a clawfoot tube, separate shower, robes, slippers, and high end bath products.

The Sea Platform is also a blissful experience.

but wonderfully set up and some of the best views ever.

The renovation of the neoclassical villa is breathtaking and every aspect has been given to the Venetian history of the island and building.

We stayed in the pink room with a perfect view of the sea below!

The rooms and common areas are full of interesting art objects with a substantial library - a really stunning experience all round.

Close to a very big beach with very gradual decent into the sea.

Came for an evening meal on the outside terrace which provides an excellent view of the bay as the sun sets.

Perfectly situated about 20 metres from the beach.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel steps from the beach.

The area at the front of the hotel overlooking the lovely beach is very welcoming, it’s in a perfect spot to enjoy a lovely few days in our favourite island ! !

Great hotel in Galissas, very close to the beach.

A stones throw from a fantastic beach, this is informal and friendly and stylish.

Aside from the beach there's some good restaurants nearby and a couple of stores to get water etc.

We also enjoyed swimming both at Galissas beach (50m away just across the street) and at the  hotel swimming  pool.

The sandy beach is just across the road and is accessed by a wooden walkway.

There is a pool and the beach is just across the road.

Our room had the view on the beach so we could watch the sunset from our room’s balcony.

Beach towels are available to borrow from reception.

There is also a shop next door for handy items (unsure if this is classed as on site), right in front of the beach.

This beach is fun with lots to explore and a few little cafes.

but perfectly formed resort on the west coast of Syros and Hotel Benois sits just slightly off the road through the town - opposite the beach.

Friendly staff, clean rooms, nice little pool, one of the best breakfasts we've had in Greece and just a minute's walk to the beach.

Galissas beach – so peaceful and beautiful – is literally across the road.

This is an excellent hotel in a great location 50metres from a really lovely beach.

It is spotless and if you feel like it the  excellent beach is accross the street.

In a nice, quiet area with a great pool and a quick walk across the road to the beach.

modern 39 room hotel with lovely pool to across the road from the beach.

Beautiful pool and beach across the road.

A lovely hotel across the road from the beach in a small resort.

Food at the restaurant was great and a lovely beach over the road.

even though we are over the road from the beach we preferred to stay by the pool as it was very windy on the beach.

Located across the road from the beach, and close to a mini mart, five or six restaurants/cafes/ bars.

The pool is large and clean and a welcome option if you chose not to cross the street to go to the beach.

Only 20 minutes (Euro 1.40 on the frequent buses or Euro 10 in a cab) from the urban pleasures of Ermanopoulis, Galissas is peaceful little oasis, with several excellent tavernas literally around the corner from the Benois, and the lovely, serene beach is across the street.

Easy to park a car and bus stop right by the hotel entrance.

The bus stops right outside the hotel which takes you around the island and to Ermoupoli for less than 2 euro per person.

Pros
Free transfer to and from the port
Lovely hotel staff
Modern rooms with excellent air con
Perfect location with 3 very good restaurant literally next door
WiFi was excellent 
Breakfast to a high standard
No reserving of sun loungers allowed after 30 mins
Excellent choice of bar drinks
bus stop just outside - hotel
Cons

None what so ever 

Planning to visit again next year

It is a half minute walk to the beach, and a one minute walk to the bus stop to downtown.

Local bus stops just outside the hotel and we used this to go into the port of an evening.

The bus stop is right outside and will take you to all the nearby beaches and main towns.

The bus stop is just next to the hotel, ask reception and they'll provide you with the information.

The bus stop in front of the hotel has a quick and direct connection to Hermoupolis.

Whilst Galissas is some 15/20 mins by road away from the capital Hermoupolis and roughly the same from the Island Airport, it is well worth renting a car for a few days or indeed hopping on the local bus which stops at the hotel front door that does the job for you.

The location of hotel right next to the beach,20 min from ermoupolis, there is a bus stop right outside of the hotel.

The bus stop with service to from Ermoupolis is in front of the hotel.The bus runs every hour.

So easy to get around the island, bus stops right outside hotel.

The bus stop is right outside the hotel and a cab would cost about 12euros.

Bus stop right outside the hotel and direct connection to Ermoupolis. On top of everything: the most fantastic and generous breakfast ever (we asked about a specific tomato pie and the employee offered to note down the recipe for us!)

Common areas, Front desk (Maria), room, pool, breakfast (food and staff), in-door dining area, and internet in common area, bus stop close, beach short walk, mini market next door (and prices not high).

The hotel itself is situated next to a few restaurants and the bus stop is right outside to get you into the town.

Transfers to and from the ferry were done personally by the staff, and for getting around the island on the cheap there is a local bus stop directly outside the hotel with car and scooter rental just down the road.

All family holidaying basics are there: (corner shop 50meters, beach 200meters, 4 or 5 restaurants 50 meters, bus stop to Ermapoulis (30min).

First they don't made pre authorization on credit card before we came

Still I never did run out of charge for my many devices even if the choice was charging or TV/Fridge.

My second request was ingored again while the main concern of the reservation desk was about number of my credit card only. .

Service was very friendly and efficient, would recommend.

The staff (family) is super friendly and helpfull.

Its a family run hotel and they were just so friendly and helpful.

Delicious food, beautiful interior decoration, huge outdoor chill-area,amazingly clean and beautiful rooms as well as the most friendly and nice staff!

All of the staff at the hotel are ap lovely, helpful and friendly.

This family run hotel is very welcoming and friendly.

Everyone is very friendly and happy to see you.

Staff were very friendly and provided lots of helpful information about Galissas and the island with some great tips for places to eat and drink.

The staff are so friendly & the decor and layout of this entire hotel is lovely.

When we stayed when came here twice for dinner & drinks, beautiful with really friendly staff who go out of their way to be accommodating, the location is beautiful with views of the sea & is particularly beautiful at sunset

The staff ere excellent, friendly and knowledgeable.

The staff are very friendly, couldn’t do enough to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

The staff are friendly, welcoming and very helpful.

The staff in this hotel are so welcoming, friendly and nothing is too much – we asked if there was in a kettle in the room, and the lady gave us one along with mugs!

The bar staff are very friendly and prompt with refills.

Staff: 
Everyone is super friendly and helpful.

Wonderful staff (many family members who are highly professional) and great pool with plenty of seating..

There is a large pool with plenty of loungers and you can get lunch or drinks brought to your lounger!

The pool is lovely and the rooms are cool and comfortable, with nice touches like fluffy robes and full size fridges.

They have a nice swimming pool with sun beds.

The pool was small to medium size with plenty of sunloungers available (in September when we visited).

I visited the island of Syros and had the chance to dine at Hotel Benois and I must say it is one of the great restaurants I had visited in Greece this time, Benois serve excellent food, fresh and super tasty and I enjoyed the place and the food ~ the hotel is well located, nice rooms, great swimming pool, very recommended ~

The pool area was perfect for us, small and secluded with really comfy loungers and bean bags.

The pool is sheltered and a really good size, and the rooms are modern, comfortable and really tasteful.
