Reception staff are FANTASTIC - friendly and knowledgeable - could not speak more highly of them. The location is WONDERFUL - the bust stop is a hop and a skip away and this takes you around the whole island, so really not necessary to hire a car, unless you want to venture a bit further. The "residence not hotel" is an easy 4 minute walk to the main area by the Port. I read reports of noise from the town - which I never experienced at all and was very pleasantly surprised. My room was exceptionally comfortable and well serviced.

Hotel is not a HOTEL as such - no lounge, no bar, no interaction with any other residents - not ideal for those in the fast growing "SOLO TRAVELLERS" category, who may just want a little bit of company and a hello from time to time. In addition, there is no phone to reception so if you want to ask a question, wrap up and trundle down to Reception. It is completely self-catering, so no welcome tea, coffee, sugar, milk and that is the same for your whole visit so go out and buy your own or take with you .... not a HOTEL at all. Also one measly bar of horrible soap - self catering but no washing up liquid which I would expect for a self catering apartment. The bathroom had one tiny light which seriously made me look like I had yellow jaundice - so needs to be replaced and sooner rather than later. They offer free laundry .... this actually means they give you a voucher and you have to pootle down to the port and find the laundromat .... just what you want - to spend your time watching your holiday clothes going around and around ! Pool area was very dirty but then it wasn't quite the "holiday season" so I understand that but one of the big draw cards online was the pool area. Oh and do look out for the fantastic array of weeds enhancing the reception area - seriously !

Nice staff, close.to the tennis courts, good sized room, nice balcony

No bathrobes (and it was cold) and v steep steps to the bedroom. I I think you should warn prospective customers that the steps are v steep

A very spacious property with beautiful views.

The kitchen wasn’t very good and had limited pots and pans. You could maybe cope for a light meal but nothing else. steps up to the property could be a problem for some people with limited mobility. It’s very steep.

Location - great for Skiathos Town and airport Amazing accomodation Great views Quiet pool Welcoming and helpful staff Highly recommended staying here No hesitation in returning

We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment, plenty of space for 3 of us but would also have been absolutely fine for 6 people. Location was great, lovely views. Easy to walk into the town. Very quiet at night.

The kitchenette was not well equipped, we would have struggled to prepare a meal if we wanted to. Though when we did ask for extra glasses from the ladies on reception it was no problem to provide them. I also heard the same from other guests. Sunbeds were tired and could do with a refresh. Could just have been because it was the end of the season though.

Lovely clean pool but a bit cold Friendly staff

This hotel is up far more steps than we expected. No bar or restaurant. Requested breakfast at 9 as were booked on a trip but breakfast still hadn't arrived by 9.30 so had to go without and pick up something on the way costing 15 Euro. Breakfast became rather repetative after a few days. Loft room is large with a very steep ladder with extreamly narrow treads up to the bed which is uncomfortable with springs sticking into you! Room furniture a bit old fashioned Noticed that it is now called Skiathos Living but when we booked it was called Skiathos Luxury Living and the prices are now much cheaper than when we booked. Wouldn't have paid the price or stayed here had we realised what we would get - not luxury at all!

Location is ideal. Close to large, modern supermarket, local bus station and promenade. Swimming pool is superb. View from balcony is perfect. Very good cleaners. Friendly staff. Excellent, modern interior lifts. You can flush toilet paper down the bowl!

This hotel is not suitable for people with mobility or breathing problems. There are over 50 steps and a long ramp to reach reception. Our apartment (103) was on a split level with a flight of stairs between. Some equipment is dated and in need of replacement (it was the last two weeks of the season!) We were advised that the tap water was not suitable for drinking or cleaning teeth.

Check in easy. reception pleasant,

The room was sparse and lacked any 'luxury elements; very basic. 1 towel per person no face washers, one pillow per person ( 4 people staying). Bed in the master room was hard as a rock and they took a thin mattress off the fold-out sofa on next day though still not very comfortable and certainly not "luxury nor were pillows. No cushions in the living area and uncomfortable basic outdoor furniture and the lounge had a throw over it to cover marks. 2nd bedroom had no window and very stuffy. Kitchen too was very basic. Should have had a coffee machine at leastThe room location was okay though still viewing carpark and land and had to be on one ide of the balcony to view the water . The property looked as though the pool was over the sea but it was a 5-10 minute walk away so that was very disappointing.Whilst pleasant it certainly was not reflective of 'luxury living"

the staff are lovely. couldn't do enough. the view on the top floor was the best in the town.

the bed was very poor. we just felt metal springs in this day and age not acceptable in £120 room. steps up to bedroom dangerous. too many steps up to hotel from street. breakfast in the room wasn't very good. no restaurant. other side of town nicer. when we booked this hotel it was called "Skiathos Luxury living". when we arrived it was called "Skiathos living" and prices were cheaper. This was definitely NOT a luxury hotel and we feel we should have been refunded the difference on the misleading booking.

Very friendly staff and great location for Skiathos Town.

The accommodation was described as "luxury" which it was not. It was comfortable.

Great location with elevated views from pool area and balconies. Generous breakfast service delivered to room. Daily cleaning. Central location 2 minutes from bus station and harbour.

We were notified days before arrival of a change of status from ‘Luxury living’ to ‘Living’ - no doubt due to customer feedback of the need to modernise the hotel. This came with no option to cancel and rebook a hotel in ‘Luxury’ range and the reclassification of status by the hotel did not see a review of price of stay .. We think that this would have been a reasonable offer to customers booking to a level of standard which the hotel accepts is not being provided. Rooms need modernising to achieve the price range mainly the shower facilities in our room/s featuring missing doors and lack of water pressure. Pool area needs a refresh / modernise with damaged drainage and general run down feel.

Rooms are lovely, so big and spacious, we stayed here twice as island hoping, definitely use again

Bloody steps lol you can ring for assistance to get luggage up , but being a man I done it myself

Location Clean pool Friendly staff

Would not describe as luxury. Bathroom door not clean with many drip marks. Taps and other "metal" items corroded and loo bin not clean-need replacing. Kitchen not adequately equipped for self catering. Balcony furniture worn, in need of replacing and uncomfortable.

Nothing

dirt bad maintenance bad smells hairs everywhere

Lovely room, spacious ,and really clean, massive balcony great views , staff really friendly

We don't do swimming pools and sitting around them , just not our thing, had a look at theirs as near our room , nice pool and sunbeds ! But no pool bar ! Don't know how this works , probably does but had the think of something

Very good location to town. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Clean rooms and good air con.

Pool area not very big and not a lot of sun-beds.

Loads of space in the apartment, and they stay nice and cool even in 33degree heat, lovely balcony for views of the town and ocean. Great location - 5 minutes' walk into the harbour front and main town. But also very quiet. Enjoyable breakfast offered at the property. A nice clean pool too. Overall a perfect place to be based for a break in Skiathos. Also it is 5 minutes' bus from the airport!

The furniture is a bit tired - chairs and sofas are tired looking and the bed mattresses could be better. If you're staying here for a few days and aren't comfortable with lots of steps, you might struggle. However there are lifts to most of the rooms once you reach reception.

It had very big rooms with a lot of spaces. And the location was very convenient.

Some times it was noisy from the street underneath.

closeness to Skiathos town and port, private parking (but uncomfortable), big room.

this residence is not worth for money paid. Not clean and messy. The only way to reach the building is through around 50 stairs. This accommodation is not an hotel: the room are residential studios and flat “converted” in “room”, with ugly and bad equipped kitchen. The pictures are misleading: the building is not waterfront, the pool is much smaller and dirty, the rooms are dated and equipped with low quality furniture. The bathroom is very dark (just one light on the mirror) and the shower did not properly work. The accommodations are very noisy even at night, due to the main road traffic that is located just in a few meters. Regarding the breakfast, the experience of having it in the room is not a joy: there is no chance to choose what to have for breakfast apart from coffee or tea (at arrival) and often we haven’t found fresh products. There are no common areas as hotels usually have. No proper receptions, no hall, no dining area. The receptionist are nice and helpful but in general the staff is not professional.

Good location for port and town. Swimming pool area pleasant.

Poor repair and condition of apartment for example cracked basin, a light fitting lacking, shower screen wonky, smelly bathroom. Poorly equipped kitchen. Old, thin towels. Towels reserving sunbeds for extended periods without people. Shortage of pool towels. Very disappointing value for money.

The staff brought us a welcome lemonade drink and a local sweet.

We paid for two apartment room for three nights. We were given an apartment with two bedrooms and a bathroom situated in the basement and a living room, kitchen and second bathroom in the ground floor. The main bedroom had air condition as advertised, however, the other one did not have any air-condition and not even a single window. In fact, both rooms smelled awful not allowing us to sleep. Our stay was in the midst of August were the heat was unbearable with the weather reaching 40 degrees celcius. when we phoned the reception stating that the kids will not be able to sleep in such a room they told us that none of the other two apartment rooms have air-condition in the second bedroom. Furthermore, they provided us with a very small table fan that did not provide any cooling effects unless you stood directly in front of it (air reaching only your feet). When we asked for a room change they told us that the property was fully booked for the first night. As a result my kids had to sleep one of them in a very hard couch and the other on the armchair as their basement room did not have Aircondition and smelled horrible. Important details to know: - Safety Hazards - Oxidised furniture (from old age) - Dirty towels and linen (yellow stains) - Broken lamp and safety hazards from loose cables - Broken walls with cracks - Broken sink in the bathroom - Hole in the mattress- very uncomfortable - Tv not functioning - Horrible smell in both rooms as if the rooms were never opened for a long time - The Aircondition in the room did not provide any cooling effect as it was very old We were forced to contact booking.com various times wasting money and time to ask for a solution. After contacting booking.com to let them know of this horrendous situation and complete misinformation and misleading advertisements from the property, they told us that the property could not be reached and that they were not helpful at all.
