Istiaia-Aidipsos Ellinikón Beach Hotels

"This hotel is set in beautifully kept garden with 5 seperate buildings with 6 rooms in each with a central pool, reception, bar, restaurant area. All very clean and well looked after. The staff are all very friendly and really made you feek at home. Breakfast ran to 11 and it was all very relaxed...No one rushed for sun beds, no one put towels down early there were always many free all day. The beach is an 8 minute walk...and is peobably the best on the island. Whilst the food in the hotel is lovely (Greek bbq night is a must) there are a number of lovely tavernas within a 5 minute walk away and the staff will happily recommend their favourites. The bus into Skiathos town is 3euros each way and runs every 10 mins or so until 1am which makes it very convenient. All in all if you want a quiet relax in lovely surroundings this is for you!"

"Great location specially if you are staying only one nignt or two, walking distance to all restaurants, ferry, close to airport. Friendly staff, cozy with all you need"

"We had a great time here. Breakfast was fantastic. The rooms were nice so is the pool."

"We chose Hotel Rene as it looked more our style, a bit more relaxed and a homely feel. Our instinct was right. What a wonderful hotel, small, charming, good amenities and wonderful owners and staff. They could not do more to help if they tried. Exactly what we wanted and needed. We really enjoyed sitting on our balcony taking in the excellent view, chilling by the nicely sized pool (reasonsbly rare in Skiathos town). It is a short walk to the beach (5-10mins), and also very quick to town (10-15mins depending where you want to go). The bus stop is just at the bottom of the road to explore the island (very convenient), and right next to that is the Super Market for anything you might need. That being said the Hotel also has a reasonably priced store for any food, water or other drinks you might need. I would definitely look at staying here again when visiting Skiathos. You may have noticed others saying the hotel is situated on top of a hill, the upside of this - great views and a very easy walk to town or the beach! The downside is of course coming back. I must say if you are of low-moderate fitness (like me) this should be manageable for most people. It is 2-3 minutes of a steep up hill then you're done. If you have mobility issues it may not be advisable, but taxis will take you from the town for 10€. Please don't let this put you off, but you should be aware of it. It didn't worry us, and we did not regret it our choice!"

"Couldnt fault the place, lovely pool and friendly staff. "

"A bit pricey but to me worth it. Nice beach ,nice breakfast away from the hustle of the town. Buses running to transport to town."

"Hotel was ok but a little dated for a 5 star. Staff were all good and helpful. They even got a pump to pump up a punctured scooter tyre. The sausages bacon eggs beans tomatoes mushrooms and potatoes were cold every morning no matter what time you went to breakfast. At £250 per night for B and B this is unexceptable."

"Great property in a wonderful location. Great staff "

"Wonderful staff and clean and quiet. We would return for sure. We had a wonderful stay here "
