Skiathos Living

We have just returned from a great stay at Skiathos Living. The staff are extremely friendly and obliging. Our apartment was immaculate and very spacious, overlooking the pool and with a beautiful sea view (room 303). The shower rooms were quite tired but ok. The daily housekeeping was excellent, and breakfast was brought on a tray each morning. There is a lot of bread and pastry! More fruit would have been welcome and perhaps a toaster in the room would have been good to make toast for breakfast with the bread provided. The cooking facilities are basic, just a small hob, so cooking for a family isn’t really possible plus there were only a few plates and cutlery. The pool area is good with lovely views, it is clean and tidy however the cushions on the sun-beds desperately need replacing as they’re dirty (per other reviews) and some were ripped. I was told however that these are being replaced very soon. The Wi-Fi is good, 3mb download and the TV had 2 English speaking channels, Sky News and MTV. The location of Skiathos Living is excellent. Just a very short walk to the bus stop and new port and 10 minute walk to the old port and the Bourtzi peninsula. The old port and old town are beautiful with many shops and restaurants. You can also get a taxi boat from here to a few of the more popular beaches. The taxi boat to Koukounaries is 6 euros pp, and the bus is 3 euros. We really enjoyed our stay and with a few tweaks this hotel could be really wonderful!

Really great place to stay. Well worth the money, the loft is really spacious, stunning view, aircon works well. Great rooftop pool. The staff are very friendly and accomodating. Really couldnt fault it. Location is also perfect for town and port.

Gorgeous accommodation, lots of room and really good breakfast. Staff are amazing and very helpful.

Our stay at Skiathos Living was what I had expected based on the price of the room. The rooms were spacious and on two floors. Bedrooms & bathroom downstairs and living room, kitchenette and bathroom on main floor. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. Several services can be booked through the hotel. Beds were comfortable. Rooms had blackout windows to block the early morning sun. Air conditioner was very cold, which was great. The room and grounds were very clean. I was a bit disappointed with our stay though. The facility is run down which is not reflected in the photos. All pool beds need to be replaced. They are dirty, worn and not comfortable. I do not recall there being "cabanas" as shown in the photos. The rooms need improvements. Water leaks out of the showers, the soap, toilet paper and towel holders falling off the walls. The trash can in the kitchenette smelled bad. The hotel is on top of a hill which you can tell from the photos. However, there is a long walk up the hill to get to the reception area. The staff will help with luggage. However, by the time they know you need assistance you are almost to the top. The hotel did notify me the day before arrival about the walk up to the hotel. We did enjoy our stay at Skiathos Living and would stay again if improvements are made to the hotel. The staff made the stay worth the while.

LOVED the location!!! So easy to walk to everything in town:)

Great location for access to Skiathos town. Staff were friendly welcoming and helpful. Apartment was large clean and adequate for us. The bathroom had a good shower in a walk in cubicle. The bed was large and comfy. Plenty of wardrobe space. Continental breakfast was served in the apartment on a daily basis. Didn’t use the pool facility so can’t really comment on that. We used it as a base to drive to the beaches around the island. The property had its own car park. This was across the road from the property but easy to find and use. There are approximately 50 steps from the road to the reception. Not a problem for us but might be for some older persons. Staff are on hand to help with luggage on arrival and departure. The description of some of the facilities/amenities needs updating on the ******* site. Would definitely stay again.
