Well, I have to say, this is the first time I've left a hotel with absolutely nothing to complain about. From start to finish, everything about my experience was perfect. The hotel has a cozy, boutique-style ambiance. I was lucky enough to stay in a corner room with a mountain view, but thanks to the wraparound terrace (complete with a private hot tub!), I also had a bonus sea view! The room itself was a perfect blend of cozy and modern, beautifully designed, bright, and impeccably clean. Kudos to the cleaning staff! I appreciated the thoughtful details throughout the room: various lighting options, stylish and comfortable furniture, an open-style bathroom, an unusually spacious lavatory, multiple power sockets just where you need them, etc. - someone had put a lot of thought into the room’s design. I was pleasantly surprised to find high-quality local toiletries in the bathroom, and everything looked brand new and fresh, without the usual wear and tear found in other places. The room truly felt like a suite, as others have already mentioned in their reviews. The hosts were very welcoming and attentive - I haven’t felt so well taken care of as a guest in some time:). Breakfast each morning was excellent, high quality, and delicious taste, all served by the friendly staff who were always there to greet you. The location was ideal for me, just a short walk to Skiathos Town, with the nearest shops and tavernas only a few steps away. The closest beach was literally across the street. The bus stop right in front of the building provided easy access to the town and other popular beaches (the public transportation system in Skiathos is great, by the way!). There’s also free parking for guests, and the staff are happy to assist with car rentals if needed. While the hotel might seem a bit expensive at first glance, it is definitely worth every penny. The hotel pleasantly exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it to others.

Nice view, modern furniture and equipment, there was everything you may need from the iron to wine opener. There was always someone at the reception ready to fulfill our needs and especially lady Eleni was really nice. She ket us for early check-in and we could also stay by the pool after check-out. We would definitely come back.

Our room was in a perfect position right by the pool, very peaceful. Maybe not for everyone but we never felt overlooked or lacking privacy. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was fantastic, the two big asks for any hotel stay. The room was spacious and well equipped, perfect min every way. All of the staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for you, so friendly every single day, from George on reception, Nikos and Nik on the bar and the lovely waitresses in the restaurant, cannot fault them. They were all amazing and a credit to the place. Location was perfect, a minute to the beach with lovely tavernas to choose from and a short stroll into town. A perfect week, and would 100% recommend.

    The Atrium Hotel is truly spectacular!! Their photos online really do not do it justice. When we arrived, we were shown around the hotel and given a welcome drink while our bags were taken up to our room. The view over their stunning pool of the bay in front is exquisite. They have a very nice, well-stocked bar and their restaurant, where one can sit overlooking the pool and the bay is one of the nicest we’ve experienced so far in Greece! Their buffet breakfast is also of a very high quality. The best part was the hot tub and private outside area that our room had. Room service brought us Prosecco and beers to enjoy in the tub. It was truly idyllic. Thank you to the friendly, wonderful staff who made the next stop on our honeymoon so great!!

    Close to the city centre and all the main beaches, the hotel is very well located. The room and housekeeping were excellent, but what really set this hotel apart is the personal touch of the staff. Alexandra in particular was very friendly and attentive, taking care of all our needs and wishes. I cannot praise her and all the staff enought for their exceptional service. I would highly reccomend this hotel to anyone looking for an hotel experience with staff who are truly second to none. Thank you again and see you soon. 😁

Good value for money. We needed to sleep somewhere clean and shower. The rest of the day we were out exploring. Angela was extremely polite and helpful. We had to leave our suitcase for a day and dhe agreed to keep ot for us straight away. Always willing to help and answer questions. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

It catered for a family of 4 well. It’s a beautiful boutique hotel and the variety of fruit trees around the venue made it feel homely and abundant.

    A pretty town, plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes, but all in an attractive setting of tree-lined cobbled streets and scenic port area. We would recommend Nikos taverna in the pedestrian street for excellent grilled food and efficient service-it’s always packed and there’s good reason for that- also the fish taverna on the port., which also serves meat dishes and traditional Greek cuisine. Very reasonable prices, good food and lovely staff. For breakfast, coffee and a nice little place to people-watch, we loved the Foodie cafe in the pedestrian street. Friendly staff and good service.

    This is a spacious and well thought out property . Gorgeous interior and everything thought about from the use of space , seating area/breakfast bar and kitchen with a really large balcony. The bed is very big and extremely comfortable, if I had one criticism it would be that I could hear our neighbours shower or use of their hairdryer but this was only something minor. Excellent property and value for money in a beautiful location , 10 min walk into Skiathos town but if you don’t fancy the walk some beautiful tavernas on your doorstop , would 100% stay again and recommend.

    Trulos is a quiet area in Skiathos with many trees.

    Trulos is a quiet area in Skiathos with many trees. The sound of birds and even a rooster was so pleasant to wake up to. There are several very good restaurants in the area, some with live entertainment. There are numerous markets where you can purchase anything you might want. It's very easy to catch the bus which seems to run about every 20 minutes to go to downtown Skiathos. Trulos Beach was by far my favourite beach, quiet with families and very calm water. Since I am a swimmer I enjoyed swimming there the most of any beach I visited. Trulos is a great location.

    Koukounaries is really just a single (quite busy) road that runs behind a lake from one end of the Koukounaries beach to the other. The beach itself is fine golden sand with lots of facilities (loungers, boat and pedallo hire, bars and cafes), there is also public toilets in the centre of the beach ( a rarity in Greece) and is about 1km long. It gets very busy during the day. Access is easy as there is a regular bus from Skiathos town that stops along the road. There is also a Water Bus boat service from Skiathos town harbour ( cost E7 each way PO). There is also a car park at the Western end of the road but it does get filled up early. The main road is home to numerous bars, restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks and two small supermarkets. There is a small scruffy section in the centre of the road where there is a derelict hotel and apartment block that needs tidying up. For those who like there beaches more stripped back there is also 4 or 5 beaches on the northern section of the peninsula within a 20 or 30 minute walk from the road. You can walk along the shore of the lake but you cannot easily walk all around because of thick vegetation at the eastern end.

    First of all this accommodation is far from being 5 stars.

    First of all this accommodation is far from being 5 stars. Rooms have not been renovated for years, the bathroom is so old and full of mold, needs an urgent upgrade. The hotel does not have a fitness, you have to go to another hotel if you want to use it. We booked a Suite with Sea View but upon arrival they told us it is no longer available and they give us another room for the first 3 days then we can move to the one we booked. Staff was very nice at first, but then they ignore us and not answering the phone or messages. Unfortunately, we had to leave 2 days earlier because of terrible news, my husband’s dad passed away. They didn't do anything to partially refund us. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place at all costs.

    A lovely location, with a few beaches, tavernas and supermarkets within easy walking distance. The best beach close by is Kolios beach, but the charges for loungers are higher than other beaches, and the taverna is nothing special. Agia Paraskevi beach is sinilar. The best beach we found was Troulos, better loungers, better taverna.

    Achladies is a great place to stay.

    Achladies is a great place to stay. The beach is sandy and the sea warm and clear. Plenty of sunbeds. The Mojo bar is great for breakfast, lunch and drinks. Friendly and attentive staff. Water taxi is a great way to travel to and from Skiáthos town. Quick and reliable. Also enjoyed the nearby restaurants. Great food and friendly staff. The couple of supermarkets have all the basics needed. Also a regular bus route around the island.

    This is an excellent hotel, where we have stayed overnight on a number of occasions. It gives terrific value: superb location, great food, comfortable rooms at a very good price. But what makes it truly outstanding is the friendliness and helpfulness of the people who run it. They always make us feel very welcome.

    Better than we expected......various areas to visit, a busy promenade with many shops and restaurants, the port area with some lovely tavernas overlooking the sea, we liked the local beach Megali Ammos which was walkable from our hotel and had 3/4 lovely restaurants...our favourite was the Thessaloniki. Great bus service every 10 mins. Not too many families so ideal for couples or singles. Plenty of boat trip options, etc.
