“This exceeded our expectations!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

We spent 6 nights - and going home we wish Lila and Dimitri would start a guesthouse closer to Norway where we live! An absolute 100% positive stay, we experienced a warm and welcoming attitude, great helpfulness and genuine interest in our wellbeing. We highly appreciated the breakfast on the mezzanine - served until 11.30 - or later if we preferred! The house itself is just perfect - lovely decorated and filled with good vibrations!
The churchbells in the neighbourhood at 07.30 am the first morning was an "awakening surprise", but after a few days that was only part of the fantastic atmosphere. Thank you, Lila and Dimitri for your kind contributions to a wonderful holiday!

“Excellent hosts and lovely guesthouse”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2010

person found this review helpful

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this guesthouse. The hosts - a married couple - were kind and hospitable and at 85 Euro per night, we took advantage of a huge room, with a kitchenette, and full breakfast (the cheese toast was delicious!). We were picked up and deposited at the port and the hostess even welcomed us with a delicious coffee when we arrived. The city is beautiful too with plenty of fun bars, restaurants (Fox is very good) and nooks and crannies to enjoy!

“Excellent romantic stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2010

Me and my fiance have been to Syros for the weekend and we stayed in LILA Guesthouse. It was fantastic!! Our room (though the smallest one out of 6) was beautiful, cosy and very clean. The owners showed great hospitality, Mrs. Lila met us at the port and transfered us by her car to the guesthouse. The decoration of the guesthouse has been homemade by them! Ideal location, close to the main square and port. We were amazed by our staying there and definitely recommend it!

“Lovely place!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2008

My husband and I stayed at Lila's guesthouse the previous weekend. It was just for a weekend escape in Syros,but beleive me,it was enough to feel the cosiness and hospitality that the guesthouse inspires. First of all, the guesthouse is located in the center of Hermoupolis and everything is nearby on foot. It stands in a quiet road and you feel serene and relaxed with no noise at all from the busy harbour. It is a wonderfully renovated old mansion with pastel colors dominating the interior design. The room was really nice and spacious having all the basic ameninties that anyone could request from a guesthouse. Even the fridge had bottles of water and the basic refreshments, something that you do not usually encounter in greek guesthouses. It was obvious that Mr.Dimitris and his wife Lila (the owners of the guesthouse) created this beautiful place with lots of personal taste and love. The most impotant thing of all, though, was the fact that we encountered the "meaning of hospitality" upon our arrival. Mr.Dimitris was there to welcome us, make us right away feel at home, always willing to offer us suggestions about what to see around the island-and believe me everywhere we went (following his suggestions) was actually great! Even at breakfast time, Mr.Dimitris was there to prepare a delicious breakfast for us and make us feel right at home! If you plan to go to Syros, do not even bother to look elsewhere... If you really want to feel what greek hospitality really means, you've come to the right place! Mr. Dimitris will definetely be there to welcome you with a warm smile on his face!
Thank you for everything!

“nice decor....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2008

The guest house is closely located near all of Ermoupolis' main attractions and is reached on foot. Cars are off limits around the house but the downstairs rooms ar e exposed to the noise of motorcycles passing the narrow street. The rooms are spacious and tastefully designed but could have had a little bit more sound proof. The guest house's main entrance has an interior balcony where breakfast is served. The breakfast itself consists of a lot of bread-you get a basket filled with croissants, slices of bread, crisps and crackers. There is also a toast (ham and cheese), a slice of cake, butter/jam/honey, juice (not fresh) and coffee. So, if you're thinking yogurt, fruits and vegetables make sure you buy some at a local supermarket.
Overall, it is a decent place, a bit overpriced for what it offers but with little improvement has great potential.
