Reception staff were not knowledgeable or informative about the area or even the hotel at all. Manager was rude and ruthless and just stared rather than being friendly.The hotel pool had a thick layer of green gunk around the edges, pretty grim.We never saw the pool, pool area or the sunbeds being cleaned once. B/fast was pretty basic, same every day - what you'd expect. Chap at pool Bar was brilliant, room cleaners were also excellent. You're at the mercy of buses or cabs getting you into town. There are a lack of taxis on the island too. Aircon in room was SO loud, as was the fridge. The pillows were like concrete blocks and the mattress was completely solid too. I can fall asleep on a washing line but had terrible nights sleeps due to discomfort and electrical buzzing all night long. Has private beach 5 mins walk down a really really steep hill - but only 6 sunbeds there and be prepared to get washed away every time a ferry goes past. Decor was accents of orange - felt like an easyjet hotel.No cupboards or shelves, just x1 table. There's no iron even though it says there's an iron. Take your own hairdryer - the one provided was ancient. Views over to Skiathos port were epic and planes going right past at eye - level throughout the day - if you like that kind of thing.
