This is the sixth time we have stayed at the Alkyon - OK its not the Ritz but it's a fab little hotel. Each year there are improvements to this hotel- this year all new wardrobes. Its the best situated hotel in Skiathos town and the views from the breakfast terrace are to die for.Its 2 minutes to the bus... More

Just returned from a weeks stay at The Alkyon, our 5th visit to the island. What can I say? The location is first rate, the views from the dining room are second to none and the staff are so friendly. So what if its a little rough around the edges - the public areas are immaculate ( which came in... More

The hotel is only 3 star, but I think they could improve their cleaning especially in the bathroom area. The taps and shower fittings look tarnished and dirty. The tiled walls look like they are never cleaned. Around the bath and sink there are areas where the grouting has gone mouldy. One day they supplied me with a towel that... More

Good points: The hotel is in a fantastic location, overlooking the harbour and minutes away form restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Because of the close proximity to the nightclubs, there was a few groups of young single guests (mainly Greek, Italian, and Scandanavian) but this wasnt a problem.

We have just come back from our 10th holiday in Skiathos and our 7th stay at the Alkyon. This delightful family hotel is located superbly with the views from the dining areas absolutely stunning. The breakfast is always plentiful and always room to sit comfortably with no-one pushing around. Evening meals are a bonus if you wish to eat here... More

Their buffet dinners are home cooked quality food on many but not most nights. Dinner and breakfast are served at the roof (restaurant) which offers breathtaking... More

After reading the previous reviews on tripadvisor for the Alkyon when returning from booking my holiday with Going Places earlier in the year I was expecting to be greeted by rude staff, tired bathrooms and I had prepared myself and my travelling partner for the worst. But we were pleasantly surprised. We are two young girls and we were after... More

After reading reviews I was naturally concerned about my visit to the alykon. I travelled alone to attend a wedding. The first room I was given had a musty dank smell to it so went to reception and was given another opposite. Yes the bathrooms need upgrading but the room was clean and light with air con. Maids clean daily... More
