Skiathos Palace Hotel

Run down hotel . Rooms in dire need of renovation . No elevator ! Only positive was the friendly staff . Would not recommend this hotel the pictures are deceiving. We rented 3 rooms -2 where on the 5 th floor and where very dated . 1 on ground floor was a little more renovated but not up to a good standard . The shuttle bus they have stops at 9 pm . Greek summer nights don’t start till 9 or 10 pm for dinner .

Pros: very friendly staff (felt almost at home), good dining options (buffet, restaurant, bar), free transport to the local beaches (Koukounaries and Maratha) Cons: no lifts. It was difficult to get the pram 3 stairs up and down at least 2-3 times a day. No inclusivity for disabled as well (I've done a reservation for my parents in law, which i had to cancel - received a full refund for this- because there was other means of disabled people to get to different levels. I was disappointed for a 5star hotel, not to have a provision for disabled. Not recommended for families with small kids that have got prams or people with moving difficulties.

The building & rooms are a little dated. Some maintenance is definitely required. Our room was spacious, but had a badly scratched floor & missing panel on the vanity in the bathroom. The staff were wonderful & always helpful. A nice bonus to have a complimentary bus into town that you booked the night before. No lifts, but the staff helped with our cases so it wasn’t a problem.

The property was in poor condition. Air conditioner stunk like sewage, and entire 6th floor. Could not use! Maid service was horrible. Lacked cleaniness in rooms. Poor or lacked amenities. Staff was outright poor and not friendly. Buffet was crowded and service was not extended to other available area. There were holes in bathroom doors and prices for bar drinks were extremely expensive. I would avoid this place!

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location

È un 4 stelle. Un po' "provato" dagli anni, forse gli servirebbe un piccolo restyling. Per quanto riguarda comodità, piscina, cibo e confort niente da dire. Forse un po' caro il bar del hotel. Do 4 stelle perché su Expedia me lo dava come 5 stelle, arrivati lì ci siamo resi conto che non lo era. Poco male per quanto scritto sopra, ma se pago per un 5 stelle voglio soggiornare in un 5 stelle.

Excellent view, Great stuff, Old facilities!!!

Service was excellent. Very friendly and accommodating.

Difficult to get to the hotel without a car - especially with luggage. The bus stop, while "nearby", requires a steep climb either via stairs or their long driveway. The hotel does not have lifts and it requires another trek to get to the rooms. The beach is down the same steps, and even further down. The hotel should have shouldered the cost of the beach lounger given their rates are not cheap. Mediocre breakfast, which they did not make an effort for - but guess what? You have no choice as you need to trek to get to a place to eat. No free shuttle to town during the day - only at night. The rooms are beautiful, but this does not compensate for all the other issues.

Horrible experience, I don't recommend it. Hotel with zero accessibility and does not offer help with luggage. I booked a room with a king bed and we were placed in a room with two single beds. There's no point in complaining that they didn't solve it, they said it was just a matter of putting the beds together. Weak breakfast and restaurant with non-Chinese food. I placed an order at the restaurant and there was no specific accompaniment and they exchanged it for another without consulting me and even charged an extra difference. My wife had a massage at the hotel and I was forced to go to reception to pay, all the services you put on the room bill to pay at checkout and the massage was not. They say there is a beach structure with transport, but when I asked, they told me to walk and it was only 10 minutes away. And when I get there I can't get a table, since they have to be paid for and have to be reserved with plenty of time on the app, being open to the public so they are hardly available. And finally, I booked a transfer to the airport and at the time I didn't have a car and they explained that I was 10 minutes late, even though there was no warning. I had to order a taxi and almost missed my flight. Worst experience.
