Skiathos Living

Awful tired hotel that is more like apar**ents , no bar or restaurant . Stained beds , badly lit bathroom , terrible shower , about 100 steps up to reception ( rarely attended) Never again !! Tui not interested offered £100 holiday voucher or £100 cash then closed case ! Stated in write up cabanas around pool relax and order a drink ?? Where from ? No bar !

What a little gem 💎 … although it may need a little polishing 😜 We visited Skiathos for a wedding with 30 other people, all dotted around Skiathos Town. This accommodation was perfectly adequate, comfortable bed, very spacious room with Fridge and cooking facilities. Yes, the stairs up to the apar**ents are challenging but the view across the bay was worth every step 👍 We did have a problem with the shower head in our room 109 .. but it was just a little inconvenience and nothing more than that. Staff are so helpful and cheerful, bedding changed daily along with cleaning… absolutely spotless. Very convenient for the town and the beachside restaurants on the way to the airport. It’s great to sit on the balcony watching planes ✈️ come into land and take off over the bay. Food was continental breakfast and more than enough, delivered to the room every morning and if we hadn’t had full on days with our friends for the wedding and preparations, we would have had enough to make a small packed lunch whilst we explored this wonderful island. Pool is great, beds around them are weathered but hey, these guys have just been through some of the worst storms in their history and it’s towards the end of season🤷‍♂️ Thank you for looking after us on your beautiful island, we hope to come back very soon 🙏 Phil & Di

We stayed at Skiathos living September 2023.We had a loft suite with sea view.The room was very clean and spacious, with a lovely view of the harbour. However the furniture was tired and grubby with a hole in the sofa arm. The bathroom had very poor lighting and the boiler was leeking across the floor. When we reprted this , the staff acted on it straight away. They had the water turned off,and offered us a downstairs room to shower in . A new boiler was installed the next day. As there is no dining facility, breakfast was dilivered to our room. It was more than ample and varied each day.It was a shame there was no toaster or microwave, just two small hot plates and a kettle. The kitchen was quite large, but very sparce cooking utensils. So if you wanted to cook something, you would be very limited. Our biggest disappoin**ent was the pool area.It was not maintained. The pool had green algae around the rym. The sunbeds looked nothing like the picture advertising the hotel. They may have looked nice once,but they are now stained and filthy. Also the small poolside tables are rusty. It is a shame we can not recomend Skiathos living because it is well situated, just five minutes walk to the town and bus station. The staff were helpful, but it is not a four star accommodation , only a three .It is not good value,definately not luxury. We expected better.

This was our second time here. Five years ago under previous owners it was a little more luxurious. We had this time the loft suite. We are now in our 60s and struggled with both the steps up from the road (no porter after 8.00pm but young lady at reception did help with one suite case). The loft ladder in suite was also a challenge and we were glad we did have an accident falling. Sofa - dated, stained and covered. No waiter or bar in complex. It's a good location though , 100 yards from old port the reason for only 3 out of 5 was vfm. We met a family of four that only paid £1600 in good 3 star. We paid for two £2400 for a week. It's not luxury by any stretch but clean . Would we go again?..... Skiathos yes, appar**ent no.

This place was marketed as “luxury living” and the price they charge is a luxury price. We paid AUD 921 for 3 nights including breakfast. It was NOT worth anything like that price. In terms of quality it was only worth AUD 450. The photos are seductive and the promise of a deluxe Seaview suite had us fooled. The place also claims to be a hotel - it isn’t. It’s constructed as apar**ents, but operates as a quasi hotel/ serviced apar**ent, but yet is neither. There were no common areas except the pool and no dining area. In fact, the reception is located in a ground floor apar**ent. Yet, it was not a proper apar**ent either. Far from the billed full service kitchen, there was no microwave, just an old rusty 2 burner plug-in stove. The kitchen had no knives, except from one small chopping knife. If you wanted to self cater, you could not do that either. Far from luxury, I would describe it as Spartan. The mattress on the bed is thin and you could feel every spring. The living room furniture actually comprises mostly wooden boxes with thin mattresses on top. The furnishings were sp**** in a huge space. The living/kitchen/dining room was huge, but with a tiny TV tucked in the corner. The breakfast was delivered on a tray to the room, but no choice or options were offered. While over generous, more than you could eat, it was mostly carbohydrate - lots of bread, croissants, pastries, pies, cake etc, though a boiled egg was always included. But the cheese and ham were very low quality and in Greece you usually expect some tomatoes and cucumber and feta cheese. The breakfast had to come with wooden fork and knife, no doubt due to the lack of knives in the room. The place is also very noisy in terms of furnishings and fit out. Every time a person upstairs moved furniture it was audible in our apar**ent. Likewise the noise of flushing toilets above was audible in the bedroom. And when people above returned in the early hours it was like a herd of elephants! Most of the other people staying were UK residents on TUI packages, evident by the prominent TUI marketing paraphernalia at the front door. I safely assume they were not charged anything like the AUD 307 (£164/€193) per night that we were charged. The only reason to give this place 2/5 instead of 1/5 is due to the view and the size of the apar**ent and balcony, plus the staff, who were all very pleasant.

Just got back from Skiathos Living after a retirement week with myself and 5 friends. Had a 3 bedroom apar**ent with a seview. The room was outstanding and was very spacious. The room was cleaned daily and the staff were really helpful. The property is in a fantastic location near to the first bus stop so no issue getting a seat. The views across the bay are amazing. Isabella the manager is so helpful in giving advice on excursions and helping with our stay. If you want to stay in Skiathos town with a large group, then this is tnhe place to stay. I have walked many miles around the town researching locations and hotels and found this one to be perfect.

As it was the start of the season the apar**ents were very quiet so we were upgraded to a bigger apar**ent which was lovely. Splendid view from a spacious balcony, it was bright and roomy and the bed was very comfortable. As these were originally built as apar**ents for sale there is no dining room so our breakfast tray was brought up every morning. There was an excellent selection of food, much more than we could eat, so we tended use what was left for lunch. The kitchen was very basic but as we were not planning on doing any cooking this wasn't a problem. The swimming pool area was excellent. This apar**ent is not suitable for anyone who is not physically fit. There are 55 steps in total up to the apar**ent. Fortunately a member of staff carried our suitcases up and down the steps but we still climbed up them at least twice every day. The apar**ents were five minutes walk from Skiathos town, so very convenient. They were also close to the airport but there was very little noise from planes. The staff were lovely and we would have no hesitation in coming back.

Have to agree with some of the comments . The apar**ent is not Luxury or self catering. It could be much better if they supplied a toaster and Microwave and some cooking utensils. and cutlery However the service and staff was very good . Would I stay there again No . It was expensive for what you got . The Stairs to the loft bedroom wre dangerously steep with only one handrail . Location was good and the island beautiful .

On arrival we had a warm welcome and a cold complimentary drink. Our room was a good size and clean and a view of the harbour, We had fresh towels and beds changed by friendly housekeepers. Breakfast was generous and enough for us to make sandwiches for lunch... maybe give a check list to avoid waste . Swimming pool was a gopd size clean and plenty of sunbeds and supplied daily towels for us. Great view and a great place to catch the sun and relax Near plenty of restaurants and taverns or somewhere to grab a icecream or coffee and have a walk along the harbour front. Pleasantly surprised and everything was great and had a lovely holiday and everyone.looked after us. Very happy with our stay!! And would definitely recommend Emma and Scott
