Hotel Lefteris is the budget pick in the middle of Mykonos Town. It has eleven rooms on Apollonos street, a one-minute walk from Matoyianni Street, about three minutes from the town hall, roughly seven minutes from the windmills and nine from the Old Port. That is about as central as it gets, and it means you can walk to dinner, Little Venice and the Delos boats without a taxi. The hotel is simple, with a rooftop terrace, free WiFi, air conditioning, heating, minibars, coffee and tea makers, mini fridges and bathrooms with showers and free toiletries. There is coffee and tea in the lobby, luggage storage and help with tours and tickets. Its class is one, so expect a straightforward base rather than a resort.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the heart of the old town, where the lanes are pedestrian only and taxis cannot reach the door. You get out near the edge of town and walk the final stretch, uphill and with some stairs, so pack light. Matoyianni Street is a minute away, the windmills about seven minutes, and the Old Port, where the Delos boats leave, about nine. The airport is a thirteen-minute drive, and the New Port is a short taxi ride, so allow time for the final walk with luggage.
The rooms
With eleven rooms, the hotel feels like a guesthouse. Rooms have air conditioning, heating, a minibar, a mini fridge, a coffee and tea maker and a private bathroom with a shower. There is no on-site parking and no breakfast listed, so plan to eat at one of the many bakeries and cafés nearby. The rooftop terrace is the place to unwind at the end of the day.
Who it suits
Independent travellers, couples on a budget and anyone who plans to spend the day out and only needs a clean, central bed. It is less suited to guests with limited mobility because of the stairs and the uphill lane. Guests who want a pool or a view will do better at one of the other hotels in this guide.
Season and good to know
No seasonal closure is stated, but many small Mykonos hotels close in winter, so confirm that the hotel is open on your dates and ask what services are available before you book. Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:00 and after-hours check-in is not available, so tell the hotel if your flight or ferry arrives late. Check-out is at 11:00. Note that this is a busy street at night in summer.
