Francesco's

Francesco’s is one of the best hostels I have stayed at. Amazing atmosphere, location, views, and staff. Maria is so lovely and makes you feel at home. Met a lot of cool people here.

Oh my gosh wow! I can see why the reviews are sooo lovely! It truly is incredible! Maria and her family look after you well! So attentive and so hospitable! Rooms were insanely clean, the view from the hostel was just magical, daily housekeeping, comfortable beds and soft sheets! Fridge in the room, close to everything you need and so social! Met so many friends ❤️

Simply the best hostel I have ever been to. Maria and Francesco we love you!

Maria couldn’t be a better host. The hostel is amazing, very clean, friendly and safe! Also a very social hostel, I had met so many amazing people. Would definitely recommend staying here when in ios!!!

Backpackers Dream This hostel. Great staff, nice and sosial crowd. So beautiful place

Lovely owners and really sociable vibe at night, went in September and most bars had closed but still had a fun time. The hostel views were so lovely and felt very clean (private room)

Best hostel so far. Would definitely recommend going there

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Place is located in the perfect location. Much easier to get home from the beach than get home from the bars so I’d recommend staying here. Staff was great, everyone was extremely friendly, it really felt like family. Perfect social hostel for a trip to ios

This is one of my favourite hostels. Best location, best staff, and very social. I’ll be back!

Francesco’s was the absolute highlight of our whole Greece trip. Everything from the staff, to the rooms, to the pool, to the people exceeded our expectations. We met wonderful people and became fast friends with strangers, mostly thanks to the hospitality and community created by Francesco, Maria, and all our hosts. It was our first time in Greece, but we will be sure to make our rounds to Ios to visit Francesco’s every Europe trip going forward. sending love and fireball to Francesco, x Au...

Amazing vibes, staff couldn't have been better. My friend lost their phone and Maria called all over town to see if it as found and word got to some local painters who had found it, and it was retreived. Multiple people in our group wanted to extend and the staff made an effort to shuffle people around to make it work. The location is amazing, and the nightly patio drinks make it so easy to make friends. The only downside is the showers/bathrooms suck, even in the private rooms

Amazing staff. Cleaned our rooms everyday, and were lovely.

Best place I’ve been yet, and everyone was so lovely - like a second family

one of the best Hostels I've been in. very social, clean and good amenities and friendly staff

Great hostel, super social at night, and an amazing pool. If you are looking for a hostel in Ios, really look no further.

The best of Ios, with the best looking after you daily. Honestly felt like staying at hostel with a new little family.

Great place, they're very organized and treat everyone almost like family. Every evening they give welcome free shots for everyone. They also pick you up and leave you on the ferry port.

Francesco, Maria, Elizabeth, and the rest of the staff were amazing. They really know hospitality. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Best place ever stayed at by far. The entire staff is a family apparently and they are all so nice and accommodating and helpful. Went out of their way so many times for little things where other places would charge you. They even provide free transfer from ferry saving you $£€ The location is awesome, the atmosphere is unmatched, you will make a bunch of friends and go out and make tons of memories. Only complaint is I didn’t stay longer here, wishing I could go back right now.

THE PLACE TO STAY! Everyone at the hostel was so friendly, the pool and bar area made it a great place to socialise and make friends. The only thing I would say is that the showers for the dorms weren’t great and there were only two for all the dorms, if this is something that bothers you I would recommend getting a private room.
