Vigles Sea View, Philian Hotels and Resorts

Struktur liegt nur wenige Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt, nicht im zentralen Bereich, aber nur 10 Minuten mit dem Auto oder Roller entfernt. Die Zimmer und die Terrasse, auf der man am Pool frühstücken kann, sind sehr schön, mit atemberaubender Aussicht. Sehr hilfsbereites und freundliches Personal, saubere Zimmer (der einzige Fehler im Badezimmer ist, dass es, wie leider in den meisten Unterkünften, kein Bidet gibt). Reichhaltiges süßes und herzhaftes Frühstück. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Where do I start?? Exceptional views, OUTSTANDING staff. Nothing was to much trouble from booking our daily excursions, to booking our evening meals at best restaurants on the island. If you don't feel like leaving the hotel, no problem as they offer a small bar menu with beautiful food. Everything at the hotel is well priced. Our room was picturesque, with a stunning view of the sea. We loved it so much that we have asked about booking again next year. We can not recommend this hotel enough. Best place we could have booked for our honeymoon.

Stayed here for 12 nights with my husband.. lovely apartments with great maid service every day . Beds are comfortable and spotless.. the pool area is nice with towels provided and a bar area serving cold beers and drinks and snacks .. breakfast is plentiful.. the usual cereal , yogurt, fruit , cakes , croissants etc .. hot food like eggs .. little sausages, local bacon etc .. hot water for tea .. and coffee which does sadly get cold quickly.. cappuccino and latte coffees available to purchase. The steep hill from the port and town is a killer .. you have to get a taxi back .. you can walk down but back is hard .. the staff are wonderful.. can’t do enough for you.. and the housekeeper lady is so good ., cleaned our room every single day. I think if we came back to skiathos we would probably stay closer to the town .. otherwise we would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful 20 minutes steep downhill walk into the port and the town with lots of tavernas and restaurants. Due to the steep incline we always took a taxi back which was around €7-10. Good location with great view of the runway but noise was never an issue. The rooms were basic but kept very clean with towels etc replaced daily. Pool area and the sunbeds were nice and there was a bar with snacks for lunches if required. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and always happy to call taxis make reservations etc. Breakfast was adequate with cold meats and cheese, yoghurt, cereals and fruits. The only downside was the lukewarm warm coffee and the hot food which was prepared off-site which was always cold and unappealing. We would stay here again.

The hotel is set up the hill from the town with fantastic views of the town and harbour from around the pool. It also overlooks the airstrip, so gives a great vantage point for watching planes coming in to land. The staff were very friendly and helpful with a good grasp of English. The breakfast choices were excellent and the room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We loved meeting Melody, the manager’s sweet little dog, always looking hopeful at breakfast time! The 25 minute walk down to the town was easy. We chose to get a taxi back up the hill - paying around €7. We reckon that this made for good economics, with the saving we were making compared with hotel prices in the town. There is a top quality restaurant just 5 minutes walk down the road from the hotel. We had a fabulous stay and hope to return. Highly recommended.

Hell hole. Dated worn out not at all like the photos. I can only think that it is desperate for an upgrade. Mouldy shower, grey bedding and worn out towels. Definitely not worth the money they ask. Also this is not a 4* hotel its a 1* horror hotel. We checked right back out and managed to escape !

This hotel is literally nothing like the photos on its website. We ended up staying here for 3 nights due to bad weather but could not have stayed any longer. The staff are lovely, very helpful and kind but the place itself is run down and in need of a major refurbishment. We didn’t even raise our issues with the staff as we felt sorry for them. On a other positive note the views are lovely and the breakfast wasn’t bad. Unfortunately there is nowhere to eat the breakfast when the weather is bad so one morning we were eating it in the rain ! Our bathroom wasn’t clean and as per photos was in serious need of a refurb. We were given towels with big holes in them. It’s so far away from the photos and the luxury hotel it portrays itself to be that it on the verge of feeling like a scam to be honest. If they do a big make over job over the winter then it could be lovely but if they don’t I would steer clear.

This small hotel is in a peaceful location with stunning sea views over Skiathos Town. There are also views over the airport, but there are not lots of flights and they are not at unsociable times. Our first impression was that the room and a few other areas would have benefited from a bit of updating, but it was not to the level it was a problem at all. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed and pillows, along with being kept very clean by the friendly cleaner. Supplied in the room was a hairdryer, kettle, shower gel, shampoo and soap. The pool area was lovely and it was always easy to get a comfortable sunlounger or day bed whatever time of day, even though the hotel was full. Pool towels were supplied. There was a good selection of food at breakfast, that was available from 7am to 10am and you could request a latte or cappuccino, which were both great. We had lunch at the hotel a couple of times and it was always good. We found all the staff to be really friendly and helpful and really liked the little dog Melody too. There were a few cats around the hotel, that we loved, but I understand not everyone does. They did not seem to bother people that weren’t interested in them though. The hotel is up quite a steep hill. We walked into town a few times, which took about 20 minutes to the harbour, but always got a taxi back up. As there is a lovely restaurant about 5 minutes down the road it would be easy to stay close to the hotel if you wanted to. We didn’t hire any transportation as with visiting close after the storm we were told the roads to the north were not really drivable. The bus service along the south of the island is very good and we used it a few times. The hotel transportation service was very good, often more reasonable in price than a taxi with a excellent driver. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and were sad to leave this lovely place.
