Yialos Ios Hotel

Visited friends at this hotel so a mixed review. Rooms are lovely, spacious if in a family room. Very small single rooms.
Pool is nice but no authority on showering before getting in. Weird security guard who flashes his light at you and stands 10foot away staring at us for no reason. Was told it was a family hotel but frowned upon for making any noise when the children were playing by the pool. Very rude staff who are not helpful at all

I recently stayed at Yialos Ios Hotel and had a mixed experience. The initial room was disappointing (traditional economy). It was dark, humid, with yellowed pillows, a barely functioning hair dryer, and the bodywash dispenser was empty. The door would lock with difficulty, and my window faced a junk pile. Insects were coming in from under and around the door frame, making it impossible to sleep for two nights (I was afraid that insects were going crawl onto the bed). The first night I arrived back to the hotel after an evening out, I found at least 10 insects crawling around the floor. I used whatever I could find to block the space under the door, but the second night I realized that the insects were coming through the side of the door frame. When I reported this, the front desk dismissed my concerns, assuring me the insects wouldn’t harm me. I paid for an upgraded room, and while the new room was much better, it still had issues like the bathroom bin trash which was left from previous visitors. The room wasn’t ready at the discussed time, which was frustrating as I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my valuables at the front desk (these were work related devices which provide MFA and either had to be locked in a safe or kept on me). The breakfast offerings were underwhelming (I will admit to being picky with food). A positive aspect was the presence of a night guard who helped me feel safe. Whenever I would arrive in the evening, he would notice that I was on the property, which led me to believe that he was really paying attention of who was coming and going. Once I changed rooms, my stay improved. The pool area is amazing, and having a restaurant on-site was very convenient. I do not suggest staying in the traditional or economy rooms which are located in the old building. If you stay at Yialos Ios Hotel, book a room in the newer buildings, these are listed as superior and deluxe rooms.
