Skiathos Palace Hotel

Pulizia scarsa . Lavandino del bagno intasato . Richiesta di accappatoio arrivato dopo 2 giorni . Il personale al bar della piscina scortese è maleducato.

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.

Good hotel.... Nice rooms.... Nice pool.... Reception and porters LOVELY.... But let down by surly waiting staff at breakfast. Very grumpy. Shame.

+ Fint och stort rymligt rum och hotellområde generellt, superfin utsikt, härlig pool och bra lunchrestaurang vid poolen. Fin strand precis nedanför hotellet men mindre folk. Bra massage på spa:et för OK pris! Skön säng och sköna solstolar. Tips är Mystique Beach Club i närheten med 10-15 min promenad bort. - Servicen var inte speciellt bra, väldigt mycket svinn på hotellfrukosten då dem la på för mycket mat på tallriken varje gång. Fanns transfer in till Skithos Stad men det var en liten bil så blev fullbokad väldigt snabbt och taxi från hotellet var dyrt.

I would have liked a tea/coffee making facility in the room. However there was a fridge for cold drinks. The hotel was very good. Clean, wonderful views. Very attentive staff and 2 excellent beaches nearby. The hotel pool was good with the bonus of a friendly lifeguard

Advantages: • Well equipped, daily cared big hotel with parking space; • Overall nice & friendly personnel; • Great small beach that can be reached on feet through a path with stairs (Marathas beach); • Proximity to Koukounaries beach (car still needed to go); • Very good bed, nice view though balcony could be bigger, good flat screen TV, great bathroom. What can be improved: • Though Marathas beach facilities are provided by the hotel, they make their guests pay 10€ for a ser of 2 sunbeds - this is unacceptable from a 4☆ hotel!! • Overall the hotel is not very cozy but rather impersonal; • Wi-Fi is not secured; • Breakfast is not good quality, orange juice is not freshly squeezed, the overall quality of breakfast is low (equivalent to a 2☆ hotel); • Room service is also poor, we asked for breakfast in the room and it was messy/late/things that arrived was not exactly what we asked for.

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

Chambre très confortable et bien aménagée, belle vue sur la mer. Attention en revanche à bien demander une chambre dans la partie rénovée de l’hotel Certaines chambres ne sont pas encore rénovées et ne sont plus du tout à niveau. Piscine et espace petit déjeuner fort sympathique. Personnel très aimable. Attention, l’hotel ne dispose pas d’ascenseur et n’est pas adapté aux personnes à mobilité réduite.

Hotel has amazing views and a nice pool area however in general run down and the rooms were dirty. After complaining about state of rooms the cleaning service got worse some days no cleaned rooms and had to ask for clean sheets after several days and then they were left on bed for us to change ourselves and they were the wrong size.
