Elena Hotel

I think this hotel was great. We just checked out today. The hotel has hit on a near-perfect formula that really works. It's not too big and not to small. It's not exactly cheap but certainly not unduly costly...great value, in my opinion. They clearly focus on quality, in the rooms, the furniture (beds), the services and the atmosphere. The location, sitting up on the eastern edge of the old city of Chora (i.e. town of Mykonos) makes everything in town easily accessible on foot. I could walk through the maze of walkways to the harbour waterfront or the six iconic windmills in about 8 minutes. The south (Fabrika) bus station was about 4 or 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The view from the roof of the hotel is worth a look. The buffet breakfast, which was included (for us, maybe everyone), was fresh, tasty and healthy (not at all like an American motel continental breakfast). It included fresh fruits, Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs (real, not powdered), oats and a range of delectable (but perhaps not so healthy) fresh pastries. We could have as much coffee as we wanted. The staff were very helpful. They were knowledgeable about things like what to see, how to get there, what things should cost, timetables of the local bus service, etc. Free maps of the town and island were available in the lobby. This place was way better than the place where we stayed in Athens.

Staff very helpful and kind. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety. Room impeccable. But when taking shower, water all over bathroom. Near old town and port.

The staff was really friendly and lovely. The location was excellent walking distance from the town.
