Hotel Astoria

Stayed for two weeks. Breakfast ok but nothing special Room was ok overlooking the garden. Staff friendly and efficient Pool area good clean and tidy, there is no bathroom (WC)by the pool so you have to go through reception and down alot of steps to the nearest WC.. Not sure if we'll return..

The Astoria is the epitome of small and friendly. Set about a hundred metres back of the main road in is own attractive gardens, the hotel has a good sized pool with plenty of sun-loungers and a nice poolside bar that is open all day. The rooms are compact but spotlessly clean with a decent sized balcony with table and chairs. The en-suite facilities consist of a smallish wet-room. The shower was not very powerful but perfectly adequate. There is a TV, kettle (bring your own coffee/tea-bags) and fridge. WiFi was very good in all areas of the hotel. No surprises that breakfast was the now familiar continental buffet and because of the size of the hotel there was probably less choice than in larger establishments but, again, perfectly adequate. There are a number of good bars and restaurants in the area so no problems finding a choice of dining on a week's stay. The beach is a ten minute stroll away and there are other bars and restaurants there. The bus stop (20) is on the corner where you turn down to the beach. From here you can get a bus (every 20 minutes into Skiathos Town for 2 Euros. For those who enjoy walking there is a plentiful network of well signposted paths. For a relaxing break on this beautiful island I can certainly recommend this hotel.
