We stayed in the hotel 1o days. A group of 4 families who know very well the hotels in Greece. The island is perfect for holidays, hotel position is just like in pictures, but rooms are horrible ( classic rooms). Smells like mold and the walls of the bathroom are wet. Too bad! No more than two stars hotel. I will never come back!

The standard rooms are awful. The carpets in the bedrooms are stained and very dirty, vacuumed only twice a week, air conditioning struggles. The furniture is chipped and upholstery stained and the beds are the worst I have ever slept in.

We stayed at "the palace" for two weeks this august. The steep steps and incline up to the hotel were blooming hard work (no oxygen supplied) for a middle aged, unfit, mum - tho my kids found it okay. We found the reception areas, pool and dining areas very pleasant indeed. The corridors were dark and dingy and need of an overhaul. We stayed in a standard room (described by our tour operator as 3/4 star????). However the 80's decor, avocado bathroom suite and stained toilet seat and carpet were more a relic from the tv show rising damp !!! The room were cleaned daily by our surly maid who got very irate when we were in residence when she wanted to clean..... We did get a glimpse of a few of the superior rooms which did look excellent - modern and well equipped. The breakfast was buffet style and fab. My main concern was that as a single parent eating out in koukanaries in the evening was unsettling was because the walk back is pretty isolated and dark. Koukanaries itself is quite limited buy nice all the same. I would happily return to skiathos again but not to the skiathos palace - the public areas are all nice and shiney but our accomodation was poor. I also found the smoking constant, smelly and vile (i would love to have seen the restaurant have a non smoking area). All the non uk tourists seemed to have a fag constantly lit! We coincided with the greek annual holidays and all the greek residents seem to smoke. For an avid smoker, with mountain goat like tendancies who can afford the upgrade - go for it - you will have a ball!! For those who dont want ash on their watermelon ... Yo um get a lot less than you pay for.

The Curate's Egg

After climbing the 95 steps up from the road and entering the hotel the first impression is of a dark dingy unkempt sparsely furnished lobby area and you wonder whether you have arrived in a four star A class hotel. You know you haven't when you approach the reception desk to be confronted by a unsmiling surly young woman who is more interested in her hair style than providing any kind of service. No welcome no good information (incidentally no hall porter or baggage carrier and not even a lift in any part of the hotel) and by the way you can't book in until after 2pm. After that terrible start matters did improve for the executive room we had booked was 'all that it said on the can' although the panoramtic view from the balcony was rather spoilt by the continuing noise of traffic 50 feet below. We left it late to eat on the first evening which was a mistake for we ended up with the left overs but therafter we found breakfast and the evening meal invariable very good with excellent choices to suit all tastes but alas not a menu in sight. We found the uncontrolled use of mobile phones and no designated smoking areas a continuing irritant. The wine at 30 euros a bottle is poor quality and overpriced - we found ordering by the glass a cheaper and more acceptable option. Apart from the pool and restaurant area which are delightfully positioned (with not a 'reserve' towel to be seen on the loungers at 9 o'clock in the morning). The other facilities offered are minimal - the only unadvertised entertainment was a two peice band tucked away in a quiet corner of the terrace on the Tuesday evening. Overall there is a singular lack of joined up management in this hotel each department seemingly doing its own thing. Staff to customer relationships need a very serious overhaul and there are areas of health and safety and basic hygiene which would not pass muster in the UK. However, we love Skiathos it has so much to offer and despite the shortfalls at the hotel, we came home feeling happy and refreshed, although we would probably seek another place to stay next time round.

This hotel needs to start looking at their gloomy corridors, filthy carpets and outdated furniture and bathrooms, the staff can be very surly and unhelpful. This hotel can not be 3+ it is more like 2 stars and that is generous! We will never stay in this hotel again!!

Stayed here on numerous occassions. Superb position next to the beach. Great breakfasts. Good for the whole family. My daughters aged 16 and 20 love to visit the Island and find this hotel very good. Friends of ours have been back every year for the last 15 years!
