A quiet, well-finished double room in the heart of Chora.
Our Standard Double is the most popular choice for couples staying on Ios — a clean, calm space steps from the main square, with everything you actually need and nothing you don't. Whitewashed walls, natural textures, an en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, and the kind of careful Cycladic finish that makes the room itself a quiet pleasure to come back to at the end of a long beach day.
Inside, there's space for two adults to live comfortably for a week. A proper double bed, a wardrobe, a flat-screen TV, a safety deposit box, and a mini fridge for cold drinks and breakfast bits. The en-suite bathroom is finished in the same Cycladic style and includes everything you need for a self-sufficient stay. Daily housekeeping keeps the space fresh without any friction.
Outside the door, you're 100 metres from the main square — a one-minute walk to the bakery, the tavernas, the cafés and the bus stop for the beaches. The Standard Double is the simplest, most central base on Ios for couples who plan to spend their days on the island, not in the room.
Bright, simple, well-finished — and right in the centre.
Six things that make a Standard Double the right call — and why couples keep coming back.
Right in the centre of Chora
100 metres from the main square. Restaurants, cafés, the bakery and the bus stop are all on foot in two to three minutes. No taxis, no rental car required.
An en-suite bathroom you actually want to use
Finished in the same Cycladic style as the room. Hot showers, fresh towels, everything in working order. Daily housekeeping keeps it that way.
Air-conditioned for July and August
Cycladic summers are real. The AC means sleep is never a question, regardless of how hot the afternoon was.
Hotel-managed, not a rental
Daily housekeeping, an in-room safe, fast Wi-Fi, and a family at the front desk a few steps away when you need anything. None of the "where is the host?" anxiety of a private rental.
Quiet enough to sleep, close enough to walk
The property sits back from the main bar streets — close enough to walk to everything in three to five minutes, set back enough to sleep. Light sleepers should let us know at booking and we'll flag the quietest room available.
The simple version, done well
No kitchenette, no separate living area, no fuss. A clean, calm, well-finished room for two — with the rest of Aphrodite's service around you. For couples who plan to be out exploring, it's the right choice.

Who chooses the Standard Double
What guests ask before they book
How many people can stay in the Standard Double?
The Standard Double sleeps up to two guests in a comfortable double bed, with an en-suite bathroom and air-conditioning.
Does the room have a kitchenette?
No — the Standard Double is a classic hotel room without a kitchen. If you want self-catering with cooking facilities, look at our Apartments (up to 4 guests) or the Superior Apartment (up to 5). For 6 guests with a full kitchen, see The House.
How is the Standard Double different from the Triple or Quadruple?
The bedding configuration differs by occupancy: Doubles have a double bed, Triples add a third bed, Quadruples a fourth. The rest — Cycladic finish, en-suite bathroom, AC, daily housekeeping, central location — is identical across the three.
Is the Standard Double quiet at night?
The property sits back from the main bar streets — close enough to walk to everything in three to five minutes, set back enough to sleep. Particularly light sleepers should let us know at booking and we'll flag the quietest room available.
Is breakfast included?
Breakfast is not included with the Standard Double. The bakery and our favourite breakfast cafés are a one- to three-minute walk away — most guests prefer the local options. Ask us at booking if you'd like recommendations.
Can you add a third person to the room?
No — the Standard Double is configured for two. If you need a third sleeping space, book the Standard Triple instead; we can't add extra beds to the Double.
Is the room good for a short break of 2–3 nights?
Yes. The Standard Double is the most popular choice for short stays — central location, en-suite bathroom, AC, daily housekeeping. Everything you need for two or three nights on Ios without the overhead of an apartment.
When is the hotel open?
Aphrodite Hotel & Apartments runs its full season from May through October, when every room and apartment is open. A small number of rooms are also available year-round on request — get in touch and we will confirm availability outside the main season.
