Overall Ratings & Reviews Skiathos Palace Hotel

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location

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.

We had a bad start with a no show transfer but the staff were amazing by generously making up for the mistake with complimentary dinner and wine - this turned a negative into a positive and we were very appreciative.

We were extremely disappointed The property , I am sure , in iits day , was stunning. However it is now ready for a complete revamp 1) No elevator ?? We were on the 6 th floor We found this bizarre Travellers arriving with luggage after a gruelling trip to get to Skiathos, have to schlep from the parking lot to the room. We were told by a stafff member that the elevators were removed in order to make more rooms to increase revenue. - enough said ! 2) Atmosphere as you walk in to lobby is very dark and dull and the front desk staff are too Not very welcoming or accommodating 3) Air Conditioning - In a warm environment , this was the only property I found in the area that had no air conditioning in the entrance , halls and common areas. Very unpleasant 4) Rooms. Tiny rooms / shower was broken and took a full day to repair a small part after we reported it at 8 am - Air condition in the room was very weak 5 ) Service. - The room beside us had a used partially eaten tray of room service food lying outside their door , on two occasions , for at least eight hours , attracting flies and smelling the already musky corridor out Not good to look at either 6) Corridors and common areas were sprayed every day with a very pungent air deodorizer , I assume to mask other odours. Very unpleasant 7) Breakfast - We could not eat breakfast at all as the dining area was infested with flies covering the exposed food inside the dining buffet area as well as at the tables.

Best view on the island! Staff very very focused on hospitality. Was such a welcome relief to stay here for r n r after a few weeks of traveling n feeling very tired. If elderly or mobility problem just be aware many stairs and no lift

It’s okay. Reception’s staff are not helpful, awful breakfast, food in the restaurant is not that great. I enjoyed renting a jeep to explore the beautiful island and the great food down town. Definitely come back here again but not stay in Skiathos palace hotel

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).

Staff are very friendly and hospitable, Hotel’s free shuttle service to drop off and pick up from and to the port is very convenient. I love Greek people. The clear turquoise water of the many beaches around is stunningly beautiful. I would definitely would like to come back.

Exceptional value, fantastic service and spectacular views! I will definitely revisit this hotel and won’t even consider another option in Skiathos.

Everything was perfect

Location was amazing beautiful pool ! I love the rooftop restsurant

Great hotel, beautiful setting next to the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good.

Room was very tired. Bath was very chipped and the air-conditioning smelt and wasn't effective

An incredible hotel, very plush and beautiful surroundings. The views are to die for. Right next to 2 beaches and on the bus route to skiathos town. We would love to stay 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.

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