Hotel Mato

This accommodation should come with a BIG warning because there is no vehicular access. Access is via about twenty steep steps, a trail of narrow paths, or a steep hill. Either way, anyone with luggage will struggle. My kind taxi driver helped me when I arrived, on my departure, a jolly man from Manchester heaved my bag to the top of the hill. I was lucky. The hotel itself is unusual. Think of visiting the home of someone who has not bought any new furniture for the last fifty years but has collected knick-knacks and you are on the right track. However, the bedroom was clean and the bed linen was of a high quality. Breakfast is served from 8.00 in the morning and it was delicious. A pot of coffee, decent orange juice, greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts, mini croissants, toasts, fresh bread and cake. There was also cereal if you wanted it. Lots of cats seem to live there but were all outside when I visited. Mine was a last-minute booking for one night because of weather problems affecting the ferries. I'm not sure I would want to stay there for any length of time.

Quaint, traditional Greek b&b with amazing view! Great one night stay at Hotel Mato. Traditional old Greek house where the lady owner was so helpful and friendly. We had a room at the top of the house (up a spiral staircase) which had a spacious balcony with amazing views of the port. Lovely traditional Greek breakfast. The location is fantastic for Skiathos old town and the ferry port. Would recommend (as long as you like cats - she has tons them! )

Great little traditional hotel We loved our stay here. The host was so welcoming and friendly and the hotel is full of traditional local character. Lovely spacious rooms for a family with a large balcony. Breakfast was fabulous.

delightful family hotel. on typical narrow street with steps, so a little hard to find with suitcases. Owner very friendly, great breakfast . A/C a godsend.

Very home like feel. Wonderful large breakfasts. Owner helped us with our luggage through the tiny narrow streets to the ferry and taxi

Owner Fifo was very friendly and helpful. Wonderful staying in her hotel home on a quiet street. Lovely restaurant Batís steps down the street.
