We stayed for 11 nights at the beginning of July. We had stayed previously just for 1 night 3 years ago before the hotel was refurbished. It was so nice to see that a lot of effort and care had been put into refurbishing the rooms. The hotel it self is very small (around 20 rooms) which adds to the charm of it being 'small and friendly'. Another great part the refurb is the beds are now a lot more comfortable than they previously was and the bathrooms have had a huge face lift. ||The hotel and pool is ser around lovely landscaped gardens and there's beautiful grap vines growing all over the front of the building and around the bar area which adds to the charm even more. The pool itself was clean and there was plenty of sunbeds or little seating areas hidden in the gardens if you wanted a nice spot to read your book or enjoy your drink.||Food and drink was very reasonably priced and the staff are all very lovely and welcoming but they maintain a polite distance which we respected. If you want a great base for Skiathos town (which wad a leisurely 10 minute walk away) Hotel Elsa is ideal. Nearest bus stop is about 8 minutes a walk away and a taxi from the Airport is about 5 minutes. All in all it its a great location and excellent value for money. ||We absolutely love Skiathos and the Town for the evening bars and restaurants so Hotel Elsa is an ideal place to enjoy a great holiday in Skiathos. We will be booking this hotel again for sure when we come back to Skiathos for our...
Read moreVERY DISAPPOINTING!!! It's not worth the money you pay! We were expecting a better value & quality for the amount we spent for a simple double room. The photos are giving a false impression. The owners reply was "these are the prices on the market".
Too way expensive for a "hotel". I would better call it a pansion or rented rooms. There is nothing charming about this place except a few flowers and greenery.
Reception - one messy office without any service, nobody there. Room - double bedroom was two beds connected to each other. The bathroom faucets are completely rusted. Not even proper accessories for this money (just one small soap). Parking - very tight. The small way up to the "hotel" is quite difficult and dangerous for not so experienced drivers. Location - ok if you have a car.
Suggestion for tourists - make a better research and find another place to stay if you want to have good memories from Skiathos! Suggestion for the owner - make a better price & change a few things and...
Read moreMyself and my wife stayed here between 12th and 19th of September. On arrival we were greeted by Elsa who showed us to our room giving us the warmest of welcomes. ||The room was perfect and had everything we needed in it. The air con was brilliant and the little under counter fridge make sure our drinks stayed perfectly cold. The bathroom had a walk in shower which was lovely and towels were provided. The balcony was a sun trap and had a clothes airer which was handy after being at the beach.||Food and drinks at the hotel were absolutely perfect for us, so tasty and reasonably priced. ||The hotel owner Elsa, her family and staff were nothing short of perfection and made us feel welcomed and at home. They really couldn't do enough for us. The hotel has a bonus of being close to town and the bus routes making everything easily accessible.||We will definitely be returning back to Skiathos and would not stay anywhere else.||Can't wait to see you again...
