Francesco's Reviews

This hostel was really fun and friendly. Great location to the bars and the beach was only a short walk away.

This was definitely our favourite hostel of all through out our travels. The staff especially were extremely accomadating, it did not feel like just a hostel at all. It was also a great location right amongst the nightlife as well as a beautiful view. I would highly reccomend Franceso's to anyone and hope to make it back there one day.

Francesco's was an awesome hostel. I would not have wanted to stay anywhere else. Ben is a champ who is an awesome fun starter. B there are so many wonderful people there. It has a pool to Lounge at during the day and is right near the bars for the evening. So much fun. I'll surely be back

Francesco's was a lot of fun. We enjoyed the good location & the lovely staff.

Great hostel and a great location. Free port pickup and drop off. Close to shops and restaurants. Free wifi on the terrace. Friendly staff and guests. Pub crawl every night.

Seriously one of my favorite hostels.. Get up, eat, drink , beach, sleep, eat , drink, dance, get laid, sleep , repeat! So there are no lockers in the rooms.. I could have had all my stuff stolen and still would have had the time of my life. HUGE win for francescos... SEE YOU NEXT YEAR

One of the best hostels I've stayed at. Always a fun time to be had at Francesco's. The staff are welcoming, the rooms clean and comfortable, and couldn't ask for a better location overlooking the port of Ios with beautiful sunsets.

The location was excellent, right in the town and with a fabulous view! It is obviously a party hostel, which is fun when you want to be partying. I enjoyed the pool, bar area, etc. The only 2 drawbacks - some incredibly hard beds and being woken up by inconsiderate people partying outside your room at 5:30 in the morning.

will be going back for sure

An awesome place to stay in Ios! Fantastic location, near the beach, has a great pool and close to all major bars. Free welcome shots at night. Breakfast is inexpensive and huge! Going hungry will not be a concern to you! Staff are just incredible Ben is the man! From the moment you meet him when he picks you up, you know you're in for a great time!! Judy is both a sweetheart and a great party starter! (Hope you enjoyed the icewine!)

Location - Excellent. Staff - Extremely friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. The Hostel Itself - Legendary, I will definitely come to stay again. I originally booked for 2 nights and ended up staying 4...this place is addictive!!!

Great location and friendly helpful staff. Amazing coastal views from the bar/cafe and pool area. Room comfortable but very hot as soon as the sun is up, as there is no aircon. As much as it is ok for anyone to stay there, most of the crowd was aged 18-25. If you are any older, as I am - it can be tricky to mix. The staff take you out to a (Francesco's owned) bar which is fun. Then its off to the other bars around town. If you like to party every night, the place is perfect for you.

The best hostel! In everyway! Amazing staff, great rooms, amazing views, awesome pool and the location right in the party district! I will most defiantly becoming back! Thanks everyone!

Had a great stay at Francescos, they bring you out every night which is good cause you meet lots of people. The pool is great for during the day, beach is about 15 mins away or a short, frequent bus ride. Only thing we would have liked would have been a locker in our room but they have safety deposit boxes at reception. Staff are really friendly, it's located near all the clubs which is really handy. Would go again!

party hostel...had fun

HIGHLY recommend this place. Had the best stay ever! Rooms are extremely clean, safe and spacious with a good size bathroom, the restaurant has the best view with free wifi and you can mingle with all other guests, the free 11pm shots are great and gives you another chance to mingle with guests and go out with them (Ios is CRAZY fun) and the staff are very nice and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and can't recommend it enough!!

This place is a great time! Ios in general is so much fun and Francescos is right near the centre with a beautiful view. The only issue we had was that there is no drinking allowed in the rooms and the owner thought we were so he kept coming in without knocking.. not good, but other than that it was a fun place to stay.

Best hostel in the town. Free welcome shot every night and then the pub crawl begins. Nice pool and jacuzzi. Staff was awesome. Loads of great people.

i had a wonderful experience staying at francesco's, they welcomed us in and we had the time of our lives with the night time activities. a lot of effort from all staff and it really pays off! :)

My BEST hostel experience! This is a must-stay hostel when visiting Ios. The sunset trumps the alleged best sunset at Ia, Santorini. As Ios is the Party capitol, Francesco's is the White House.
