Our stay at Hotel Jason was great. No complaints. The family that owns and operates Hotel Jason are wonderful. kind, helpful, accommodating and informative. Mykonos lodging is a little more expensive than many of the islands, but this applies to the entire island, not just one hotel. Our stay was about US$26-28 per person, in late September after the season, so still not a bad deal. Hotel Jason has an adequate sized pool, large poolside patio with chairs and umbrellas, and captures the ambiance of the Greek Islands with buildings of whitewashed finish and blue trim. Our room was clean and spacious, with an outdoor shaded patio with table and chairs. The patio was surrounded by a garden of fig and other fruit trees and made for a quiet, relaxing place to hang out while back at the room. Hotel Jason is not right in the downtown center of Mykonos (so it is quiet), however it is easy to get to. Being up the hill a bit from town on a two lane curvy road, the bus might be a preference over walking. Their is bus stop located right outside of Hotel Jason, appropriately referred to by the same name. So leaving Mykonos downtown to return, you simply catch the bus to Hotel Jason, only a few minutes away. Just a short walk down the hill from Hotel Jason – about the equivalent of ” a block” or less, is a little store which has fresh baked pastries filled with feta or spinach in the morning. Add some coffee or tea, figs off the tree, outside the room on the patio, and another great day in Mykonos is on the way. Returning to Mykonos, it is very likely we would just simply look here first for our next stay. Hotel Jason’s website has photos and contact info – just the basics.

Read moreMykonos is a super busy island and this hotel is an oasis of calm. It’s on the Platis Gialos - Mykonos city centre bus line, which means you can take the bus to the beach (Platis Gialos) or to Mykonos to visit the town it’s 1.8 euro either way. I prefer to walk - 35 min to Mykonos old port, or 30 min to Gialos beach. The only tricky bit is there’s no sidewalk but overall it’s fine. The bus stop is literally outside the hotel. ||You’re also less than 20 min walk from Ornos beach, which was my favourite. All these beaches charge a fortune for beach chairs, so take a towel and a beach mat and lay in the sand if you’re thrifty. Ornos is very nice and you get more sunshine hours there. Going down it’s easier than returning up the hill, but it’s perfectly fine anyway.||The hotel has a lovely pool and it seemed always to have pool chairs available. There’s a pool bar too with a handsome bartender who was very popular with everyone. They organised airport pick up and drop off which was very nice (it’s a 15 min ride). ||The room was very spacious and had a good shower. The fridge was tiny but the supermarket is 2 min walk so you can stock up often. By the supermarket is just by the best restaurant in the island in my opinion, Anna taverna - best prices and best food! There’s another restaurant there too which serves grills (no fish / seafood). ||Jason is a great hotel, and it’s nice that it’s not in the busy town areas or too near the beach where it can get real noisy. Maria is super nice and you’ll love the cats and dogs around. I didn’t eat breakfast but the pool bar...
Read moreIts a beautiful property. Excellent staff, specially Maria. She was very helpful with everything directions, tea-coffee replacements etc. We were three of us, got a room which was a suite kind of extended kids room. Well maintained. |Decent breakfast but becomes repetitive if you are staying for 3 nights. They only serve breakfast, no restaurant. |Location is very good. It is in center of Town (main highlight of mykonos) and Plato Glatias beach. Its a 10 mns drive to town. Bus stop is right outside the hotel. Houstens supermarket is just at 2-3 mns walk. Plato glatias beach is walkable (15mns walk) one side downhill. Way back, you can catch a bus which costs 2 euro per passenger/ride. Frequency is every 30 mns. Port is also, just...
