The hotel was so so pretty and picture perfect. Lots of greenery and flowers. For a small hotel it had various different seating areas. Decent sunbeds ( no one put towels on them!) Two big cabana type beds arrived too on the day of our departure which were super comfortable. The pool was great and it also had its own bar which was much cheaper than the bars in the town. The staff were really helpful and knowledgeable and took the time to chat. It was just a two storey hotel and also had little self contained bungalows.

The shower, it had one side screen so the whole bathroom got wet. You had to remember to move the toilet roll or it wasn't usable . The limited menu

We had a wonderful stay at Elsa Hotel. The staff were incredibly polite and attentive throughout our visit, always going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. The rooms were spotless and cleaned daily, with towels and sheets being changed frequently. It was such a pleasant experience to return to such a well-kept room. The pool area was lovely and made for a great spot to relax. It was perfect for unwinding with a drink or two after a day of exploring. The breakfast was delicious and always fresh, though a little more variety would have been a nice touch. Overall, Elsa Hotel provided an excellent experience, and we would gladly return. Highly recommended!

The position was excellent, 10 minutes by walk to reach the center of Skiathos. Owners were always kind. The breakfast was minimal, always the same every day, but good (salty and sweet). Very comfortable the balcony in the bedroom; fridge and air condition available; closets and bedside tables were comfortable. Relaxing swimming pool areas. Cleaning activity in the bedroom every day.

In the bathroom there were always a bad smell :( probably caused by the shower drain or the fact that the shower was on the floor. Due to this last aspect, the floor of the bathroom was always wet, despite the fact there was the dedicated carpet. There was only one hook for hanging the towel, behind the door, which was on the opposite side of the shower. In fact we used the closet hangers to hang towels and let them dry (the bathroom was almost always wet)

All in all, we were satisfied with the accommodation. Its location was just perfect for us, suitable for the town centre. Cleaning was daily and satisfactory. The pool and the sunbeds around it were a huge plus, perfect for relaxation. The pool bar was also great with reasonable prices.

The breakfast war the very same every day. We spent there 7 nights and had to have more or less the same thing for every breakfast. Towards the end it was really boring. The selection was very modest too. Just by widening the selection, the whole breakfast-experience could have been so much better. Though the bathroom was clean, certain parts of it were covered in mould.

Swimming pool area is fantastic. Try to get a room on the ground floor with direct access to the pool. Breakfast is great (although a bit weird that the man in charge is there staring all the time) anyway pool staff lovely. Room was a bit small but again outdoors is that gorgeous pool and garden.

It is on a busy street so lots of car noise motorcycles and beeping. Bus stop and supermarket are 5 or 10 minutes away which in the sun and heat up the hill is a bit tricky. Also 10 minutes to the old town and port. It’s 5 minutes from the airport. We paid 10 euros in the night from airport to Elsa hotel but to leave We asked for a taxi from the hotel and it cost 25 euros at 3 pm. So be aware of this detail.

The hotel was in a great location - just 5 minute drive from the airport and 10 mins from the main street, and 15 mins to the old harbour. So so many bakeries and shops close by. The double room was a good size, each with their own little terrace and drying rack for swimwear. The pool was small but lots of options of sun loungers and deck chairs with good shade options. The breakfast each morning had a good selection of continental options. Bar was well priced and bottled water was especially cheap

As others have mentioned, the beds are VERY firm but this wasn't a huge negative for us. The bathrooms are wet rooms and I managed to flood it having a very long shower (that's on me really)

Beautiful setting only a short walk from the town centre. Tucked away off a road going into Skiathos Town, this accommodation is a gem of a find. Vera and Yiannis were the front of house staff that couldn’t do enough for us. It was my birthday and Yiannis had taken the time to decorate our room with balloons and a complimentary bottle of wine for our arrival. Vera was such good company and she went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable (I think she will remember us for a long time to come too - apparently we were very entertaining). Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. The pool was lovely and the poolside furnishings were comfortable and plentiful. Food was delicious and service was prompt. Prices were so reasonable too. Shower facilities available in case you have a later flight and want to freshen up before your onward flight. Blondie the resident cat gave us a very warm welcome too.

I really can’t think of anything to dislike.

Excellent value for money. Grounds were lovely with beautiful roses. Could hear the road from the grounds but good location. Elsa was lovely and I would recommend for friends. Felt very Greek and authentic. Not plush but that was not what we were looking for. Felt intimate and friendly.

You will read the reviews as I did, I still felt I took a risk as there were some varying comments . The bottom line, is this is a fantastic value for money hotel (certainly this time of year). It was immaculately clean, the staff were wonderful, it was very relaxing. A great place for exploring a wonderful island . 10-15 minute walk to the harbour and less to the shops and restaurants. Do not expect a 4 star hotel, it is not and doesn’t pretend to be, this is just great small hotel .

Nothing worthy of note

The breakfast was sufficient for me. It was in a good setting next to the pool. They had English Breakfast tea which does not always happen abroad. I am not one for a massive full English style breakfast, so it was fine for me. When my room key dropped out of my pocket in a music bar, the manager wasn't upset when I woke him at 0230hrs in the morning, He went and collected the key on his motorbike from the bar. He even contacted my next accommodation to ask for a room to be allocated to me early so that it would be ready when I left the Elsa Hotel.

Not really anything. I was just there for 2 nights. I went in the pool once. From when I arrived on the first night, I was meeting friends within 30 minutes. On the other days, I was not there much but the pool bar looked good.
