Top Skiathos Town Hotel Reviews
Atlas Hotel Skiathos
"This is a very well run property that is central to the old town and port. This is very clean and great value"
Nimfi Hotel
"Very pleasant stay especially down to the friendly/helpful staff. Excellent value for money. The only real negatives (a) on the beach directly in front of the hotel there's a sort of sink hole/collapsed bit that really needs clearing up and filling in, makes such a bad impression if you're arriving at the hotel on foot via the beach (b) very limited menu at the hotel restaurant (we got given a discount coupon but it just didn't seem worth using.) Beyond this it's a fantastic hotel at this price point."
Design ArchitectoniKa
"This was an absolute find. I felt so safe as a solo female traveller, I arrived late and the hotel made sure the check in process was so smooth. They were so accommodating and I would definitely return and reccomend!!"
Alkyon Hotel
"A very nice hotel, friendly and attentive staff. A delicious breakfast!"
The Water Suites
"Great location & views, really comfortable room, and friendly, helpful staff. Good coffee available in hallway. Only downside was noise from bar downstairs, but earplugs provided - so sleep not disturbed!"
Asteri Studio's
"It's a really nice place to stay in Skiathos, Asteri Studio's lie up the hill just outside Skiathos Town. It's easy to find as it's around 5mins drive from the port, property has a nice large front garden & plenty of seating to enjoy the warm evenings. Great view of the town from up here too, rooms are spacious and well equipped, had everything you need, there's a few bakeries close by if you need a snack, plenty of local shops at the bottom of the hill. Main town is 5 mins drive, there's a beach at the bottom of the hill and many more just a short drive away. Wi-Fi is included but you need to be close to reception to pick it up. I would recommend and stay there again."
Skiathos Holiday Resort
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was amazing. They were all so friendly. The room was very clean and we had a beautiful balcony. The pool was very relaxing. It was truly an oasis. The breakfast each morning was a wonderful treat. Also, the location is perfect. We walked everywhere. It was a great location, as it was so close to Bus Stop 1. If we come back, we'll definitely stay here again."
Mystery Skiathos Luxury Residence
"A lovely hotel fairly centrally located and a 15 minute walk from good restaurants and a nice beach. Quiet apart from a bar opposite that had music until 10 pm every night but it wasnโt too intrusive. The staff were delightful. Family run, they were friendly, courteous, and charming. We will be back."
The Rock Suites
"Great view. Comfy bed. Easy self check in. Well located."
