We arrived at Skiathos airport on the 9th May 2012 for a 1 week holiday by Thomas Cook at the Alkyon hotel in Skiathos town the wife I were concerned having read the reviews, the majority being favourable others not so. However I can tell you from a number years of travel experiences choose this hotel as your priority choice,briefly... More

We've been to Skiathos several times before, always staying in the town, so we know what to expect - basic but comfortable accommodation. This time we booked with Thomas Cook for two weeks this September (from their Manos brochure). This booking was made March/April 2011. Subsequent to booking I checked comments on Tripadvisor and noted mixed reviews, some not particularly... More

Excellent location, friendly helpful staff, good breahfast on roof terrace overlooking the harbour, good sized bedroom, comfortable beds and very good Air Con unit (at no extra charge). The bathroom needs refurbishment - the bidet plumbing was faulty and flooded the floor; the showerhead was old, tired & needed replacing and the cistern would often keep filling and filling. Plenty... More

I cannot believe the positive comments being made re this hotel! i would not keep dogs is some of these rooms. See the photos for evidence!

We stayed at the hotel in August. We found the hotel clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly, what more do you want. The pool was lovely although could do with some new sunbeds but you get that at any hotel. I have stayed in worse hotels in the Uk and staff are in need of staff trainng .

People who are writing negatives things about this hotel need to get a grip. There was nothing wrong with this hotel. The staff were all very friendly, it was clean, the rooms were fine. It wasn't a 5*star flash hotel, but there are more important things, like the fantastic location and the amazing island with its 66 beaches, friendly people... More

My husband insisted on booking this hotel as we were taking our grandson - making this the 3rd generation of our family to stay at the Alkyon. We had a side-sea view and the room (308) was fine. A pity there are no tea/coffee making facilities though. As in other reviews the bathroom desperately needs refurbishing, not least because the... More

We have just returned from our third visit to the Alkyon in six years from the 16th to the 30th September.We knew what to expect in terms of standard of rooms from our previous visits and reviews on Trip Advisor but the location of the Alkyon i fantastic and in some ways makes up for the basic amenities provided so...

Great location, views to die for. We've recently returned from our 11th visit to the Alkyon. Yes,it needs some updating to guest rooms - particularly bathrooms, but on a more positive view we notice small improvements each year. This year new air con system throughout the hotel - including guest rooms. Little things, yes, but it is a move in... More
