Ξενοδοχείο Έλσα

Very attractive pretty surroundings and well looked after with a spacious comfortable room and a large very clean swimming pool with lots of different sitting areas. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and drinks and snacks were available day and evening. Convenient location and easy walk to Skiathos Town and to buses to various beaches and forest walks from Koukounaries.

Some traffic noise by the pool but didn't bother us too much and couldn't hear it from our room at night.

Breakfast was amazing with an amazing view!

We appreciated the map and advice about getting around the island. It was nice to have the bar snacks available, the pool was nice. We would stay again and you don’t get a better recommendation than that.

Nothing

Booked an overnight stay to avoid the early ferry transfer from Alonissos on our day of departure. Walked to the hotel from the ferry port, took around 15 minutes, but a very enjoyable and predominately sheltered walk through the town. Although the hotel was next to the main road, it was like a little oasis when you stepped inside the grounds, with a nice pool and lots of seating areas and with extremely friendly staff, who went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction, including organising a taxi to the airport for us which was only 15 euros.

Sadly, our sleep was interrupted at 5am in the morning by a very noisy Cockerel, who was still sounding off during breakfast at 9am. Breakfast was basic but OK, but I was very disappointed that the large filter coffee machine behind the bar was not delivering the excellent cappuccino’s from the day before and instead a large urn of black tar like coffee was used for the breakfast service.
