Vigles Sea View, Philian Hotels and Resorts

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.

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 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.

This hotel is by no means a worthy holiday experience, especially for the money 142p.n. (To be clear: The view, staff, coffee, pool and pool beds and transport arrangements were positive). The rooms however are a very big disappointment. The rooms are so dull, gray and worn out, this is by far the worst hotel room I’ve seen in a long time. Beds and pillows are cheap and too firm, the bathroom has mould in the shower and is incredibly small. The walls are paper thin. The cleaning staff left our terrace door open for a full day twice! The breakfast looks bleak and uninviting. The hotel ground are littered with old garden furniture which looks like it had to be replaced 5 years ago. If this hotel reopens for the 2024 without grand renovation you should avoid it at all cost!! See the photos for a impression of the state of the rooms.
