Skiathos Young Guesthouse

Leo's advice made holiday planning much easier, and it was especially handy that the property offers car rentals for exploring the island, including the northern beaches, which I recommend visiting. The breakfast was excellent, with sweet and savory options, something you can't take for granted in Skiathos. The hotel is close to the airport and just steps from the center of Skiathos Town. Our room was spacious and functional, with a small kitchenette and table, and it was spotless and tidy. Staff were friendly and quick to respond to requests. Guests can use the swimming pool and its loungers, and there's also a large barbecue area.

The airport transfer was excellent, and there's a nearby supermarket where you can buy local products. Staff were lovely, and breakfast was very decent, though they didn't have fresh bread. The location is great. The rooms are large, but the bathroom and shower are small.

The staff were pleasant and very helpful, and the city center and bus stops are within walking distance. But the family accommodation was cramped and impractical. There were no curtains to block the light in the downstairs room, the table was too small for four, air conditioning was only upstairs, and the fan was noisy. Breakfast wasn't great, either. The photos looked nice but were somewhat misleading.

Breakfast here was a real highlight, especially for Greece, where a good one can be hard to find. The place is new, well looked after, and great value for Skiathos. I'd definitely recommend it.
