스키아토스 팰리스 호텔

We have just returned from nine nights at this lovely hotel. We booked the least expensive room, without a sea view, but had a good sized balcony looking at the hillside. Some reviews say the rooms are dated but we found ours to be well-appointed, with fridge, four complimentary bottles of mineral water, an excellent bathroom, flatscreen TV etc. Housekeeping was very good, leaving the room spotless every day, with clean towels. The pool is well-maintained, there is (as other reviewers have said) a rush for sunbeds, but we had no problem in securing two, if you're not too particular about the exact position, it's fine. There is ample shade both from umbrellas and trees, shrubs etc. The pool bar is relatively well-priced for a hotel, and service is friendly, if a little slow. The White Sails rooftop à la carte restaurant (additional charge) is worth every penny for the wonderful views of the coastline, sunset etc. The staff up there are lovely, especially Anna. Breakfast is wide-ranging and plentiful, with choices for all tastes. A special mention to the young chef who makes fresh omelettes every morning, who always has a smile on his face and time for a chat. Travellers with mobility issues will need to note that the hotel has no lifts. Otherwise, there are always staff to help with luggage etc. Reception staff are helpful and friendly, and explain everything on check in. We found it easier to walk down the sloping driveway than the steps to reach the road. From the bottom, it is a few minutes to Kokokounaries beach, and a few more to tavernas behind the lagoon. The bus service from Stop 22 into Skiathos town (or the other direction) is every ten minutes or so from early morning to late at night - and inexpensive. Would we return? Yes, in a heartbeat - and we're already looking forward to it.

This is never a 5* Hotel Upgraded room before arriving to a room with a sea view ,well we could see the sea through all the trees ,but never worth the extra money , Right arrived at the Hotel May 25/2025,first impressions were it was clean and tidy with efficient staff,was taken to the room which was spacious and spotless but very disappointing with the ‘sea view’ what a joke , The Hotel has 6 floors with no lifts ,so if you have a disability it’s a definite no no ,the pool is small but nice but not enough sun beds for the amount of people , The Breakfast was very good with plenty of choices hot or cold ,lunch time at the Hotel is also very good and to be honest not expensive unlike the drinks which are double the price which you could pay down at the harbour ,saying that 1 meal at lunch time is plenty to share for 2 people , Getting to the beach is easy on a free shuttle bus but if walking it’s a downhill walk down a steep decline ,if walking back it’s tough as loads of steps and rough terrain,the beach is beautiful with clean sand and **** free sea. Plus side a free shuttle bus also takes you to the harbour (20mins) and also brings you back (8.30pm last one back) or the buses run every 15 mins all day until the early hours in the morning at 3 euros per person both ways Lastly you will get charged for the Hotel Greek tax €15 per night per room Ie €105 per week or €210 per fortnight , Oh also there are no nearby bars or restaurants Nr the Hotel but bus stop 16 has plenty and loads in the lovely town of Skiathos with its narrow streets with shops ,bars and restaurants, Would I go back to the Palce definitely not but Skiathos Town it’s a Deinate yes
