Lovely hotel, friendly staff and beautiful grounds, in a great location. Room was a bit basic, but clean and tidy. Food was very good and the free bus to town a nice touch, although late both times (must be Greek time) we booked this. Also hired a couple of quads from Aegean near Reception. All in all everything was good.

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.

We spent a week here in August 2023 for our family summer holiday. The hotel is lovely and staff were really helpful. It is a short walk to two beaches (2 minutes and 5 minutes) and they also have a free daily shuttle to and from both the beaches and Skiathos town. It is a 25 minute bus ride to the town, which has lots of lovely restaurants, especially along the port. If you get off at bus stop 4 (the hotel is bus stop 22) and walk down to the port, you get to see the lovely back streets. Just be aware that the hotel doesn’t have a lift and there are also lots of stairs down to the bus stop and to the beach, so if you have mobility issues the hotel maybe tricky. All in all it was a lovely stay and I recommended booking the Mama Mia boat tour at the hotel, even if you aren’t a fan of the movie, it’s a lovely day out (adults cost €40 each and €25 for a child).

Lovely Week and Would Go Again!
Our stay at the Skiathos palace hotel was lovely and would definitely go again. We had organised transfers to and from the airport which was very easy to do over a couple of emails. After being checked in we were pleased to find out that we’d be given a free upgrade! We were able to have some food and made our way to the room. The room was tidy and the view was great looking over the bay. Food wise you can expect a traditional buffet style with choices of salad/starters and deserts. There is a pool bar throughout the day, where you can order salads, sandwiches, burgers etc. Unfortunately the other restaurant was being renovated at the time so didn’t get to try that. The hotel is located right outside the number 22 bus stop, was very easy to catch the bus into town or back to the hotel (there’s only one route) as well as the shuttle that runs in-between their sister hotel on the harbour. The pool area was a good size although probably a little more cramped I imagine come peak summer season. So would advice getting in early. The sun is available all day from up there so I wouldn’t worry too much about what spot you get. Towels can be got from the gift shop each day, which was a nice bonus. Only downside was the lack of fitness facilities and entertainment in the evening. Would have been nice to have used the great big and lovely lounge more for people to watch a band or something. If you are planning on going to the beach as well it’s €20 per umbrella.

This is a good quality hotel in an excellent location overlooking Kookanaries Bay , the rooms and pool area are very good. The reception staff were all excellent , very friendly and helpful. The pool bar and restaurant staff were however neither friendly or helpful which seemed to be the view of most people staying there and this is a negative factor.

We spent only one night in this hotel, as we landed in Skyathos too late to catch the ferry for Skopelos. We decided to stay there because it is literally on the top of the most famous beach of Skyathos. Even if the hotel is too big and with too many guests for my taste, we had a very good experience

Good location but very expensive with poor service
The hotel is in an excellent location and in the most beautiful area of the island but there are a lot of improvements in the service of the hotel. They squeeze my family in a very small room, not changing the towels everyday, no shampoo/shower gels everyday, no power plugs for everyone etc... all the amenities were very expensive and nothing free from the hotel.

Dear Thank you for your comments, We would like those to be transferred to our reception. If you have been allocated to a room that can fit a four member family (2adults + 2 children), we would like to mention that these rooms accommodate hundrends of families like yours every season. Regarding the changing of towels, that is something it needs to be cross examined with our housekeeping as well. Were there any days that you had a not disturb sign? We do not charge for amenities in the room and that is quite odd you are reffering to this. Please supply us with more information about your bookings and even you can contact reception to express your complaints. We are aware that a solution will be found. Kind Regards

Nice hotel but loads of steps!
Nice hotel and location but no lifts and by end of one week steps and stairs became a bit tiresome. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Hotel staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Excellent courtesy room to use after you have checked out and need to freshen up before travelling home. Maratha beach is beautiful and beach bar staff very polite, nothing too much trouble.

Very old overpriced hotel. The rooms are full with rust and mould. No elevator! For family with 2 kids and 4 cases 25kg each?! The waiters start to take everything from the table at dinner and breakfast 20 minutes before ending, because the want to go home. We are 21 century and for this money for one night, we can rent a 5 star hotel, not a 2 star from 1970!? Nice nature and position, but terrible rooms and waiters!

Surtout, ne rien avoir à demander ! Ça s’annonçait bien : Chambre exécutive (320 € la nuit) un peu vieillotte et salle de bain vétuste, mais agréable avec belle terrasse et superbe vue mer. Et puis, le grain de sable : La climatisation ne fonctionne pas, les ennuis commencent : Personnel à l’accueil sans écoute et complètement inefficace (ne parlons même pas d’empathie !). Toute la matinée perdue en discussions stériles pour aboutir finalement à notre décision, en désespoir de cause, de prendre une chambre de catégorie supérieure pour 30€ supplémentaires par nuit (le petit geste commercial qui coûte peu à l’hôtel mais compte beaucoup pour le client, ici on ne connaît pas !). Dans tout ça, à nos questions et demandes, des réponses robotisées (« je fais le maximum… je ne peux pas vous dire… dès que possible…”) Pour information par ailleurs, la plage publique (pas de plage privée) a laquelle on accède à pied en traversant la route (bruyante) ou par navette est surpeuplée Ajoutons que le personnel (sauf quelques exceptions), ne sourit pas et n’a pas l’air tres heureux dans son travail. Exemple : On demande des glaçons au bar de la piscine que l’on obtient … de mauvaise grâce (sans un mot, sans un regard, sans un sourire) Enfin, la dernière nuit, des bruits de rangement au dessus de notre chambre (semblant venir du restaurant) nous ont réveillés a partir de 5h du matin Bref, hôtel-usine pour tourisme de masse avec très belle situation géographique mais dépersonnali
