ゲストハウス リラ(Guesthouse Lila)

Very friendly with a warm and welcoming living area. If you want an urban stay, this is the place for you. Be warned though that most of the rooms have no windows to speak of and absolutely no view. Soundproofing is not good - we could hear the neighbours' conversations as if they were in our room.

This is a pleasant guesthouse with wonderfully welcoming proprietors who were always anxious to give helpful information about Syros. Our room was smaller than I had imagined with a mezzanine level although the staircase was so steep (more like a ladder) that we decided not to use it. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice including beautiful homemade cheese, spinach or apple pies.The guesthouse is well situated for exploring the town.

An amazing hidden gem in Ermoupoli! Lovely Lila and her husband were very welcoming and greeted us with traditional Greek coffee and cake upon arrival while our rooms were being prepared. Lila was very attentive during our stay, providing many recommendations to restaurants and beaches nearby! Lila kindly offered to take our luggage down to the port, which was amazing given the heat during our stay. Thank you Lila!

Absolutely fabulous stay at the Lila’s. They had fabulous welcome meeting when I came and recommended places to visit on the island and places to eat. This stay was fabulous. I would recommend it to everybody and I will definitely come again and again thank you so much for your hospitality.

Although only a few minutes walk (uphill!) from the port , Lila met us in the car from the ferry to help with our luggage. The guesthouse is absolutely charming in a renovated 19thC house. It has a laid-back authentic Greek feel to it (quite hard to find sometimes) and everything is very comfortable, clean and spacious. Lila and Dimitri were wonderful hosts. We hope to return!

Lila has built an excellent place for you to stay while visiting Syros. Its a very old building that she renovated and looks great. She is super friendly, picked us up from ferry, and with an early check in. Great fast internet, Netflix on tv, delicious breakfast and ideal location.

Quiet little guesthouse in a beautifully renovated old home a quick walk from the center of town and down to the quay. I loved the high ceilings and shuttered windows. Lila is so kind and friendly. We were greeted with wine and immediately sat down to chat in their living room/lobby. Every morning before we left, Lila and her husband served a delicious breakfast. It was such a pleasant experience. It made our stay in Syros all the more enjoyable. I would love to return and stay for a week as Lila said many people came to stay and work during the pandemic (wifi works well). I would love to do the same.

Very friendly and helpful hosts. Nice breakfast. Room was good. Only two complaints: 1) many many steep stairs to get up to our room 2) shower did not have hot water - some low pressure Luke warm water only. We stayed just one night and it was lovely overall for our needs. I would stay here again.

The owner/operator of the hotel was extremely helpful and nice. We had an excellent stay at her hotel and would definitely recommend it!
