  Don’t believe the photos

  06 Oct 2025

  First of all the positive reviews i read I do not believe to be true …I usually thoroughly research where to stay and like to be within walking distance of restaurants/bars and shops which this has. It’s situated just outside of the town but easily walkable. I had realised there were steps leading up to the property as I’d read previous reviews but they were steep and with no handrail so it made hard work getting suitcases up there and down again once we had left . The place had no reception area as such .. just a small room to check in. Couldn’t fault the staff, they tried but it was a bit fawlty towers at times . Had booked for breakfast which is delivered to your room and there is no choice. We were unimpressed by the cold breakfast which included sliced bread, two hard boiled eggs, slices of ham and cheese and sliced banana and yoghurt. Presentation was poor and it was unappealing so we decided to cancel breakfast and eat it in one of the many places in town. But although we cancelled there was a knock on the door the next day with breakfast so yet again we had to go to reception and explain we didn’t want it . They continued to try to deliver it each morning for a few days until they understood . Communication overall was not good as they couldn’t seem to understand we didn’t want it ! The apartment itself was very big but lacked warmth or character and the sofa was badly stained with holes in it too, just a plain room with balcony overlooking the port and mountains and the views were the only good aspect of it.We could hear the planes land daily and watch them coming in as airport is just five minute drive away. We had the loft room which was pointless as no view from bedroom and the steps up to bed were very precarious in that very steep and quite dangerous in the dark if you needed to go downstairs for the bathroom. The bathroom itself was ok apart from the shower cubicle which had only a handheld shower head attached to the wall which kept falling down or wouldn’t stay in place so spraying water everywhere but into the cubicle . We did ask them to fix this and they said they would whilst we were out one evening and asked us for the room key. I’d have thought they would have a spare but they didn’t which left us with the question how are we to get back in again as it would be late at night and reception closes at 10pm. They said for us to call them and someone would come down which they did at gone midnight and the shower was only slightly better than it had been . We managed only one time to use the pool area as we had poor weather. The pool area looks nothing like the photos which make it appear almost like an infinity pool. There isn’t a bar poolside or music just a vending machine selling soft drinks and snacks. It was quite run down and the sunbeds were badly stained. Pool towels were threadbare and frayed thin towels but luckily we did bring our own. I’d also advise to bring own bathroom towels as the ones provided are so small they barely fit around you and I’m slight in size … they do provide laundry service but didn’t use this. Beds and linen changed daily but didn’t always remember to provide new bath towels. The kitchen area consisted only of a kettle. No toaster and poorly equipped just one teaspoon two cups and two glasses plus bottle opener. There was a fridge but shelves were missing . It was all bit run down and not a true depiction as given on website so feel very misled and doesn’t not qualify for its star rating ..a couple of times we overheard other guests complaining about issues in their rooms too. The place is very basic and nothing luxurious if this it what you are seeking and as I previously read elsewhere they changed their name from skiathos luxury living to skiathos living. Overall basic accommodation and sure could have found better for the price we paid

  Nice Views and Lovely Outdoor Pool easy walking distance into town.

  25 Sept 2025

  The room would be classed as a one bedroom apartment, it was large in size with a balcony with a view. The room was lovely and clean.It is a traditional older style accommodation. The breakfast was ok. There are quite a few steep steps on entry to this property, the staff were attentative in helping me with my luggage on arrival and departure.

  Lovely hotel in a great location

  23 Sept 2025

  Have just returned from a lovely holiday staying at Skiathos Living. We had a very clean, 2 floored apartment. The staff are very friendly and helpful and provide a delicious breakfast, brought to the room each morning. The pool area is peaceful with a wonderful view of the town and sea. Great central location. One thing to note is that the hotel is up some steep steps but so is most of the accommodation in Skiathos so something to note if you have mobility issues and are thinking of visiting the island. Would recommend this hotel.

  Fantastic views dated accommodation

  16 Sept 2025

  We enjoyed our week at skiathos living as the views are amazing the location perfect for everything. A couple of negatives We were allocated a loft suite which I would consider dangerous as the stairs to the mezzanine bedroom were very steep and difficult to use if you are not very mobile. We had no choice as they were fully booked. The holiday was with TUI which didn’t mention lofts and steep stairs in the room description so beware The room was very dated and basic without a kettle The bed was one of the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in each day waking up aching and tired The staff were very friendly and did their best but overall the accommodation needs upgrading

  Good, but not 4*

  08 Sept 2025

  The hotel was in a really good location for the airport, the port, and the old town. We had a loft room (last one available so had no choice) which was spacious and had a lovely balcony view but I would NOT recommend this room for anyone with children or anyone with mobility issues. The stairs to the bedroom were very steep and slippy. The bathroom was quite dated, and had a lot of cupboard doors falling off etc. The room was clean enough, the staff were friendly. We didn't spend much time in the hotel but it was fine for what we needed if you're looking for a base. The pool area is very small so probably not ideal if you like to sit by the pool all day.
