Stayed at Fiona hotel for 4 nights and every day I woke up the blue sea was right in front of me!
Incredible views of the symi harbor with it's magnificent archtitecture and picturesque buildings. Rooms were basic but had anything you could ask for while the breakfast was included all the necessary to start your day at the beach! A small drawback was the 500 stairs one has to climb but every hour you can take the bus from gialos which can get you to the hotel at no time! Mini market right at your door and also interesting taverna (Giorgos) next to the hotel!

We stayed for 3 nights in one of the upper rooms with balcony which had stunning views over Symi harbour and lovely sunset views. The room was clean and pleasant although no comfy chairs to sit on on the balcony. Breakfast was typically greek but adequate and also include boiled eggs which was a big plus! The walk down to the harbour was no problem but hard work coming back up. However bus only 1 Euro and runs every hour. Well worth it for the position. Rooms had safe and fridge and decent air conditioning which was a big plus in June! Well equipped supermarket just opposite hotel as well which was highly convenient. Symi if gorgeous. Visit the resteraunt Haritomeni which also has fantastic food at a good price and excellent views for the sunset. Hotel Fiona is excellent value for money. Just get one of the upper rooms with balcony for best possible views.

Not much to say besides one of the most pleasurable and memorable experiences we've ever had. Extremely well priced, this hotel offers a perfect experience for the nicest Greek island I've been to. Clean and comfortable with traditional greek service and style. Our room had a beautiful view.

We went to Symi for 2 days without a hotel reservation, and managed to find a spot in Hotel Fiona. It's a long climb up to Chorio, about 350 steps I think, but what you find at the end is beautiful. The owner of the hotel who checked us in was friendly, and even though he didn't really speak much English (much better than our Greek though), we managed to understand each other just fine.

We paid 65 Euros per night for a double room, and the view alone was worth the price. The room was very clean and pretty - much nicer than what we expected to find. We were comfortable both nights - clean sheets, clean towels, and an amazing balcony. The bathroom is small, but everything works. The AC wasn't very strong, but did the job.

The breakfast is simple but delicious. I read some complaints about it on Trip Advisor, but it depends on what you're looking for in a family run hotel. I prefer less variety, more taste, and that's what we got.

For first timers in Symi, I think the Chorio area has more character than the harbor, where there are too many tourists (and as many restaurants to rip them off). The Chorio area is more local, unassuming, and fun. Check out Taverna Zoe near Hotel Fiona - incredible food! And if the steps are daunting, you can always take a bus from Pedi - leaves every hour until 11pm. 1 Euro per person.

A very pleasant experience overall!
