"We loved our stay here. Panos and his team were very friendly and welcoming and it was great to be picked up at the airport and then taken to the ferry port at the end of our stay. The room was spacious with a very comfy bed and excellent air conditioning. it was great to have a fridge too.
The room was very clean.
We highly recommend this accomodation and we will definitely stay there again."
"Amazing property , in the center but still quiet enough to sleep properly! Very nice and modern rooms , very nice staff!
Couldn’t ask for anything better!"
"What a lovely place to stay. This hotel is located just a short walk to Skiathos town. Staff is extremely polite and helpful, speak very good English and will do everything to help you. Hotel has very convenient location and rooms are very comfortable and modern. The only downside is that main pool is closed from 7pm which can be rather inconvenient when you return from exploring the island trip and you want to wind down by the pool in the evening. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and...
"This is our 2nd visit to the hotel. Maria, Dimitri, George, Alexandros, these our the hotels staff that make you feel like family. They went out of their way to make our stay seamless. Breakfast was a nice variety and delicious. Centrally located to downtown. Best place ever….book your stay here "
"One bedroom upstairs, another bedroom and everything else downstairs, with separately controlled airconditioning. The bathroom and especially the shower area is fairly small (common thing in Greece), but other areas are comfortable enough to stay there and unpack your luggage.
Airport is so close you can walk there in 10 minutes, and you can see planes landing while sipping your coffee on the balcony. Don't worry, there are no flights during the night. Skiathos port and the city center is also...
"Nice hotel but way up the hill from the ferry port and town. Definitely recommend a taxi ride. The walk was very strenuous. The property is nice and the pool was great but they do not provide pool towels. "
"Lovely stay, staff were very friendly and welcoming. Felt very safe as a solo traveller. Location is excellent. Room was beautiful, fresh and clean. Would definitely come back! "
"The views were amazing and the pool was perfect for our five kids. The staff was also very responsive and the breakfast was great. It is a bit of a long walk to the restaurants but doable. Skiathos is a lovely island! "

Hotel Rene
10/10 Excellent
"We chose Hotel Rene as it looked more our style, a bit more relaxed and a homely feel. Our instinct was right. What a wonderful hotel, small, charming, good amenities and wonderful owners and staff. They could not do more to help if they tried. Exactly what we wanted and needed.
We really enjoyed sitting on our balcony taking in the excellent view, chilling by the nicely sized pool (reasonsbly rare in Skiathos town). It is a short walk to the beach (5-10mins), and also very quick to town (10-15mins depending where you want to go). The bus stop is just at the bottom of the road to explore the island (very convenient), and right next to that is the Super Market for anything you might need. That being said the Hotel also has a reasonably priced store for any food, water or other drinks you might need.
I would definitely look at staying here again when visiting Skiathos. You may have noticed others saying the hotel is situated on top of a hill, the upside of this - great views and a very easy walk to town or the beach! The downside is of course coming back. I must say if you are of low-moderate fitness (like me) this should be manageable for most people. It is 2-3 minutes of a steep up hill then you're done. If you have mobility issues it may not be advisable, but taxis will take you from the town for 10€.
Please don't let this put you off, but you should be aware of it. It didn't worry us, and we did not regret it our choice!"
Luxurious and family friendly villa with large private pool 5 mins from Skiathos
10/10 Excellent
"Villa Selini is amazing and is set on a hillside with lovely views across Skiathos. Its spacious and clean with a well stocked kitchen and lots of storage space in the bedrooms most importantly fabulous air conditioning which is a must after a day at the beach! There are lovely open balconies off all the bedrooms and also on the top floor off the living room and kitchen. For us the villa was positioned perfectly and we enjoyed walking down hill to collect the car every morning often stopping off at Ariston bakery which sold amazing fresh pastries cakes and sandwiches! Bus stop 1 is just at the bottom of the hill should you wish to jump on to visit one of the lovely beaches further round the island! We did attempt to walk up the hill once - the walk up is definitely doable just not on the middle of the day! Once down the hill you are virtually 5 minutes away from the port and within a couple of minutes of a lovely fresh fruit and veg store and a well stocked supermarket The pool at the Villa is fantastic and big enough for all 10 of us to enjoy cooling off with a swim. We also used the downstairs apartment which gave extra space and facilities which was an added bonus! Any question we had or advice we needed was responded to within minutes Eleni was able to help us arrange a private boat trip around the island which was fabulous! We all had a fantastic time and will be back for sure! "
