Astoria Hotel

Lovely little hotel, literally 200 m from the beach. Very friendly staff, lovely clean rooms with balcony. Rooms have tv, hairdryer, fridge, safe & aircon. We booked through loveholidays so didn’t have to pay the €8 per day extra. Breakfast was great…scrambled or fried eggs, beans, bacon. Greek yogurt, fruit, nuts & honey. Toast/jam. Lovely coffee machine too. Pool area was clean and ample beds free to sit and soak up the sun. Troulos beach is literally a 5 min stroll and supermarket on corner for drinks/snacks etc. Beach was very peaceful. Beds €20 for two which was standard. Troulos Taverna was very reasonable and did a superb lunch for around €7. We ventured to Koukanris beach on the last day. You can get a bud for €2 but we walked the 2k which is a 30 min walk. Well worth it as it is stunning and has good facilities. Beds were also 2 for €20. Great restaurants close by. Victoria was superb & enjoyed the food and Greek night at Salt & Pepper. Overall a fantastic holiday, so relaxing & the hotel was a perfect location. 5/5.

Excellent little hotel. Staff are really friendly. Probably the friendliest most helpful we have ever experienced. Reception cant do enough for you. Bar area is nice serving good quality products. Clean hotel. Ideally located near local tavernas. Near main road which can produce some traffic noise, but great for hopping on the bus.

A beautiful hotel in a brilliant location right next to bus stop 20 and another 2 minutes walk and your on troulos beach! Breakfast was great and lovely friendly staff. Nice view of pool from large balcony - would highly recommend and will return.

Lovely family run boutique hotel - modern decor, comfortable beds, a great pool/bar area and fabulous cocktails! This is the second year we've stayed at the Astoria and it won't be our last as it's become our home away from home. The staff are all friendly and helpful and it's only a 50m walk to Bus Stop 20 to travel to Skiathos or any of the other beaches and another 50m to Troulos Beach, which is beautiful. The only downside was the shower, which is still typically Greek and underpowered and a 9 Euro per day charge for Air-conditioning.

What a fantastic week we have had at the Astoria. I will include in this review what we loved, what we think could be improved and also some top tips for anyone planning to stay at this hotel. Positives: The staff at the Astoria are incredible. Not only are they friendly and welcoming, they can't do enough for you. Any query we had, we spoke to the lady on reception and she was so helpful! The rooms are cleaned daily and the towels and bedding are changed regularly as well. We opted to have air conditioning and a safe in our room at an extra cost. The air conditioning was invaluable considering the high temperatures in Skiathos during our stay. The beds were really comfortable and we all slept really well. There is a TV, kettle and mini fridge in the room as well as a hairdryer in the bathroom so you have everything that you need. The breakfast offered plenty of choice with fruit juice, coffee, tea, fruit, yoghurt, nuts, pastries and cake. There were some hot food offerings including baked beans, scambled eggs, fried eggs, bacon and mushrooms although this changed on a daily basis. Everything was replenished by the staff regularly so there was plenty for everyone. The hotel itself is beautiful, the bar and pool area offer a lovely place to sit and have a drink, you may even get a visit from the family dog Ralph! The staff even played the England match for us so we could watch it in the bar area. We didn't use the pool during our stay but there always seemed to be plenty of sunbeds available. The location of this hotel is fantastic. It is right next to a supermarket and bus stop 20, allowing you to easily access town at bus stop 4 or travel in the opposite direction to Koukounaries at bus stop 0. The buses run every 15 minutes but we never seemed to wait any longer than 5 minutes for a bus! Troulos beach is beautiful and only a 5 minute walk Suggested Improvements: We had a couple of issues with the shower where water pressure was lost, I suspect this was because many people in the hotel were using the showers at the same time. At one point no water was coming out of our shower at all. If the showers/water system could be upgraded that would be great. Top tips: - There isn't an iron in the room so you may want to take your own. There are plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobes though. - Even though there is a kettle in the room, tea and coffee isn't provided so bring your own. - Beach towels can be hired at reception for the week at an extra cost. It is clear from speaking to other visitors to the Astoria that this is somewhere that people return back to again and again, which I think says a lot! Thank you to all of the staff at Astoria (and Ralph) for a memorable stay during our first visit to Skiathos, we will certainly be back!

Returned to the Astoria this year. Great location. Very clean throughout. Staff are great with the ‘new’ friendliest smiliest receptionist ever. Had everything we needed. Lovely breakfast with attentive staff. Beautiful pool and bar area. So handy for bus service, beach, supermarket and lots of restaurants. Met some lovely people at the hotel. Great place to chill out. Maybe a couple of extra sun beds and umbrellas required? Thanks for a lovely holiday.
