5/5 Excellent
"Property was quaint and tucked away. Design was unique. "
A verified traveler stayed at Design ArchitectoniKa
"Staff was not on property as it is off seasons, but kind, accommodating and polite. The checkin was easy, bed was very comfortable, location was very practical. The rooms are small but functional. We disliked the lack of shower curtain, bad smell of bathroom and the fact that there is zero soundproofing. We were bothered by noise from other rooms etc."
A verified traveler stayed at Atlas Hotel Skiathos
"Property was overall clean and well maintained. Check in was friendly, quick, and easy to locate room. Breakfast in the morning was a plus - juice, water, coffee, some meat, cheese, bread and other items. Although it is right off of the main road where cars and bikes pass, the noise is nothing to make a big fuss over. Bathroom seemed renovated. Overall for the price I enjoyed the stay and will stay again this week once I return from Skopelos. "
"Beautiful place! Mosquitoes arrived in full force at about 7 pm so the pool bar waitress served us dinner and drinks in the indoor lounge area. So lovely! "

"The property was beautiful, quiet and very accommodating to my wife and I. Anything needed or requested was handled by the staff quickly and appropriately. Definitely 5 star hotel with all amenities needed. The staff were the nicest people in Athens who made us feel special. If you are thinking about staying here, book your room now you will not be disappointed."

"I would recommend avoiding this property completely. Firstly, it is very close to a main road and the traffic noise will keep you awake at night. The main issue for us was the hidden costs of staying here, the property owner tried to charge us an extra €6 per day to use the air conditioning. When I refused to pay this (as it is not mentioned on the booking and air conditioning is listed as an included amenity) the property owner became very angry and aggressive towards me (for context I am a 5ft1 female). He was shouting at me in the street, pointing his hands in my face and demanding I come inside with him to make a payment.
The general condition of the studios is very poor, it has clearly been neglected over the years. The grounds are in disarray.
The only redeeming factor is that this property is opposite a beautiful beach and there is a lovely view from the balcony. The lady who checked us in was lovely and very helpful. She have some great local recommendations and advice. It is just a shame that the property owner does not share the same hospitality.
Avoid avoid avoid - unless you want to pay hidden costs & receive aggression from a very angry little man! "
"This hotel was SO cute and unique. It felt like staying in an authentic Greek boutique hotel. There are so many restaurants and shopping writhing short walking distance. "
"The best place to stay on Skiathos! Room was wonderful, with comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchenette, and lovely balcony with a view of the sea. It was a 30 second walk to a beach with gorgeous turquoise water in addition to a 25 minute walk into town. I can’t say enough great things about the staff who not only were super helpful with the check in and transfer from the port to the hotel, but drove me back to the port for my early ferry when leaving. After checkout, when I realized I left my passports in the hotel safe, Nina went far out of her way to return them to me safely. I cannot say enough positive things about this hotel and the lovely staff!"
