Alkyon

Hotel in ottima posizione. Un ringraziamento particolare va ad Alysia, ragazza eccezionale che ci ha deliziato con il suo ottimo cappuccino.

Albergo molto carino nel centro di Skiathos. I ragazzi della reception e tutti i membri dello staff sono stati fantastici. Purtroppo il giudizio negativo è determinato dal fatto che per 4 giorni non ho mai avuto l’acqua calda in camera e, nonostante i reclami, il problema non è mai stato risolto e sono stato costretto a fare sempre la doccia fredda. L’albergo è convenzionato per la cena con il ristorante Carnayo, consiglio vivamente di andarci, a mio avviso uno dei migliori di Skiathos.

L’hotel, recentemente ristrutturato, si trova un una posizione eccellente per visitare Skiathos e godere della giusta tranquillità senza dover rinunciare alla comodità dell’essere in centro città. Il personale è attento e disponibile. I servizi sono ottimi (piscina, bar, colazione). Le stanze sono spaziose e curate seppur con qualche piccolissimo neo. Fantastica la vista dalla terrazza in cui si fa colazione. Non potrei non consigliare questo hotel!

When I first arrived, there was an ashtray on the balcony table with 2 cigarette ends inside. I assumed the cleaner would take care of it the following day but it was still there 3 days later. This wouldn't have bothered me if it had been a 2 star hotel but considering it claims to be 4 star, and also the extremely expensive room rates, I found this shocking. Also the inferior towels were disappointing. On arrival I explained that my Mother wasn't able to travel and that I would be on my own for the first week. I asked if it was possible to have a reduction in price as had paid for 2 breakfasts per day. I was told that if I had informed them the previous day that this would have been fine but letting them know on arrival was not ok. I wasn't happy so the receptionist said they would ask the manager in the evening and let me know the next day. The answer was still No. The Greediness of the Management is shocking. I also asked if 2 family members, staying elsewhere, could come for a breakfast to use up a couple of the breakfasts that had been paid for. Again the manager had to be asked in the evening and again the answer was NO. The language barrier is also blamed for misunderstandings. I asked for twin beds instead of the double that I had been inadvertently given on arrival, as I had a family member arriving for the 2nd week. I was told that I didn't have to change rooms and they could sort this out in the same room. This turned out not to be true and I was interrogated at the reception desk as to who had told me this. "What did the person look like? Was it the English girl? What colour hair did they have? Was it the English girl? ". Shocking customer service! The only good thing about this hotel is the view from the breakfast terrace. The breakfast is ok but nothing special. Definitely not worth the high price for what is basically 2 star facilities/services.

Alkyon Hotel, Skiathos. The hotel is kept exceptionally clean by the cleaners. The staff are very hard working and polite in the breakfast and restaurant. Special thanks to Elsa & Monica for looking after us and making us feel special. Terry & Jill

Absolutely fantastic hotel 5* service from the amazing staff. The rooms are beautiful and spotless the cleaning staff come in every and change everything. The pool and grounds are immaculate. It is set In a beautiful location with views over the sea from the breakfast room. The walk into Skiathos town is literally 5 minutes The food was delicious and very well presented. I absolutely recommend everything about this hotel and would come back again for sure.

Our third visit to the Alkyon. First time was nearly 30 years ago and then again in 2022. Had a minor problem with the shower in the room on the first day (shower hose was too short to reach the attachment on the wall) and a member of staff replaced it within the hour. Staff very efficient and friendly, poolside and cafe very attentive especially Monica and Elsa.

This is a lovely and friendly hotel, the rooms are clean and spacious we stayed in 324 the balcony overlooked a bit of a garden but we didnt use it too often the room had aircon and was cleaned, fresh towels and beds made up every day, There was a free safe in the room, which was a bonus. We stayed BnB the sun terrace was a great location for breakfast with spectacular views of the sea. Good selection of food availerble.

We paid extra for a front Seaview room, it was worth every penny. Fabulous view, great location, bathroom with great shower, comfy bed, air con, kettle & crockery provided. All Reception staff except for one older lady were very helpful & friendly. On the downside, the small pool and only 12 sunbeds in the sun. These beds had towels on by 6-7am every day. Complained to Reception about it but they found it amusing! Any lazy pool days we wanted we walked to the Tennis Club a couple of mins away, 15€ for 2 beds, lovely big pool & cafe, problem is that after this season it is closing for good having been bought by lidl😪 Two more small gripes, there should be padded comfy seats on the patio not just hard chairs & small table. Also our cleaners started not coming in to clean until 4-6pm which is when you're wanting to shower etc. Mentioned it to Reception and from then on they came in mornings. All in all a lovely holiday, great location for town & plane spotting, nice staff and also the Jet2 rep was the same young man as last year. He was very helpful. Oh! just thought of something else, last year the hotel's mini bus provided free trips to other beaches on the island and their sister hotel the Skiathos Palace. Asked to book a place with the only grumpy receptionist "No! we don't do that any longer". Oh and the hotel's restaurant Carnayo in front of hotel is lovely if a little expensive. Linda
