Magic Hotel

Beautiful and still with traditional charm

Nothing

I would certainly recommend it; a very nice and friendly hotel in a good location – about a 5-7-minute walk to a lovely, clean sandy beach (Para Agia Paraskevi) with umbrella rentals and a restaurant, and about a 3-minute walk to a bus stop on the main road (with directions to either the Skiathos town and the port, or to Koukounaries beach to the west). There’s no real need to take a taxi or car to and from the airport; it took about 20 minutes by bus (bus stop No. 16). There’s a supermarket and a number of restaurants all nearby, within walking distance. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, both at reception and in the restaurant. When we arrived at 11.00, we let the hotel know, and although the official check-in time was 15.00 and made no special request, the room was ready and everything was in place when we arrived. The room was spacious, well-equipped, clean and had air conditioning that worked well. We had a wonderful view of the bay. As the hotel is situated on a hill (as are most of the hotels and villas), there were quite a lot of steps, so it might not be suitable for people with physical disabilities. The choice of food at breakfast was reasonably varied; the food was tasty, with a wide selection of sweet pastries and jams in particular. The coffee from the coffee machine could be better. The hotel has a swimming pool with a bar, which we didn’t use, however, given the many beautiful beaches on the island. Overall, I highly recommend a stay here.

Nothing reasonable to complain. But if, in future, the hotel were to install a higher-quality espresso machine in the restaurant, that would be perfect :)

The property was clean and tidy. The rooms were spacious. The AC was very effective. The view was amazing.
