Sofia Studios
Sofia Studios"One bedroom upstairs, another bedroom and everything else downstairs, with separately controlled airconditioning. The bathroom and especially the shower area is fairly small (common thing in Greece), but other areas are comfortable enough to stay there and unpack your luggage. Airport is so close you can walk there in 10 minutes, and you can see planes landing while sipping your coffee on the balcony. Don't worry, there are no flights during the night. Skiathos port and the city center is also...

Top Skiathos Town Hotel Reviews
Hotel Rene
"Beautiful hotel with glorious views of the bay and mountains. Lovely oasis of calm after a day out. The rooms have amazing views and good size balconies. They are very well equipped with a fridge , hair dryer, kettle etc . Beds are very comfortable too . Everything is so well kept and the owners/staff are so friendly and helpful. Note there is a steep walk up to the hotel but absolutely worth it for the views . Great location as itโs a short walk to Skiathos town and the bus stop nearby ."
Skiathos Holiday Resort
"Could not have wished for a better place to stay. All the staff team were fantastic and so friendly - they were so welcoming. The pool area and gardens are amazing. The breakfast was varied and delicious. Our duplex studio room was very nice with an upstairs balcony and ground floor terrace. Lovely and clean accommodation just 8mins walk from the harbour. Great pool bar with snacks and the pre-arranged airport transfer by themselves was excellent. Skiathos is a beautiful island with lovely people. We cannot wait to go back here next year."
The Water Suites
"Staff were really helpful when the safe was locked on arrival as they helped to reset it and show me how to use it. The single room had a small bathroom with limited space to put your stuff. The ventilation wasnโt great meaning the bathroom took a long time to dry after a shower. Eye mask and earplugs were provided and there were slippers too. Also a mini fridge with a bottle of water. The coffee machines and kettle are outside the room in a communal area but werenโt working as the power outlet had lots of things plugged into it. Easy check in and check out."
Pension Margarita
"Staff were very helpful and kind. Airport shuttle was very convenient. Breakfast simple but good. Incredible views from the rooftop veranda. Room was great and clean."
Azalea Studios
"We loved the property, it was clean, decent, close to central, only not great thing was the bed for us, it was a double however was smaller one so couldn't move around too much."
Asprolithos Studios
"The cleaning service everyday is excellent. Fresh towels everyday is so nice. The receptionist/property manager Maria is so lovely and helpful. The apartment is super comfortable and has everything you need for short holiday stay. Do bear in mind that you can't cook in the apartment. It is set up to be able to make sandwiches and stored food items and drinks for 2 people. Only cons were that drying area for post-beach clothes could be easier to reach and with a few more gridlines."
Fengeros Village
"Staff were very nice"
Hotel Kostis
"Clean room very tasteful decor, great location in the centre of the town. We had a room on the front and the noise was not noticeable it was perfect ! Near all the life of the night and day."
Nostalgia
"The man running this property is one of the sweetest man we have met, very safe space, cleaners ever day, very helpful, overall great space"
