Vigles Sea View, Philian Hotels and Resorts

Hell hole. Dated worn out not at all like the photos. I can only think that it is desperate for an upgrade. Mouldy shower, grey bedding and worn out towels. Definitely not worth the money they ask. Also this is not a 4* hotel its a 1* horror hotel. We checked right back out and managed to escape !

This hotel is literally nothing like the photos on its website. We ended up staying here for 3 nights due to bad weather but could not have stayed any longer. The staff are lovely, very helpful and kind but the place itself is run down and in need of a major refurbishment. We didn’t even raise our issues with the staff as we felt sorry for them. On a other positive note the views are lovely and the breakfast wasn’t bad. Unfortunately there is nowhere to eat the breakfast when the weather is bad so one morning we were eating it in the rain ! Our bathroom wasn’t clean and as per photos was in serious need of a refurb. We were given towels with big holes in them. It’s so far away from the photos and the luxury hotel it portrays itself to be that it on the verge of feeling like a scam to be honest. If they do a big make over job over the winter then it could be lovely but if they don’t I would steer clear.

This small hotel is in a peaceful location with stunning sea views over Skiathos Town. There are also views over the airport, but there are not lots of flights and they are not at unsociable times. Our first impression was that the room and a few other areas would have benefited from a bit of updating, but it was not to the level it was a problem at all. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed and pillows, along with being kept very clean by the friendly cleaner. Supplied in the room was a hairdryer, kettle, shower gel, shampoo and soap. The pool area was lovely and it was always easy to get a comfortable sunlounger or day bed whatever time of day, even though the hotel was full. Pool towels were supplied. There was a good selection of food at breakfast, that was available from 7am to 10am and you could request a latte or cappuccino, which were both great. We had lunch at the hotel a couple of times and it was always good. We found all the staff to be really friendly and helpful and really liked the little dog Melody too. There were a few cats around the hotel, that we loved, but I understand not everyone does. They did not seem to bother people that weren’t interested in them though. The hotel is up quite a steep hill. We walked into town a few times, which took about 20 minutes to the harbour, but always got a taxi back up. As there is a lovely restaurant about 5 minutes down the road it would be easy to stay close to the hotel if you wanted to. We didn’t hire any transportation as with visiting close after the storm we were told the roads to the north were not really drivable. The bus service along the south of the island is very good and we used it a few times. The hotel transportation service was very good, often more reasonable in price than a taxi with a excellent driver. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and were sad to leave this lovely place.

The views over the bay- are spectacular, you can even see the planes landing and taking off from the only airport runway overlooking a small beach - quite a show. 5 minutes drive from Skiathos Town although an ATV is recommended not only to explore the island itself but also to avoid the uphill return path to the hotel. Very comfy beds, pillows, couch everything. We loved the apar**ent, it has everything you could possibly need and the view from the balcony is so nice. Super friendly staff - reception is actually the bar next to the swimming pool The best restaurant in all Skiathos is within walking distance from Vigles - definitely try Agnadio - the reviews don't lie. The second best restaurant on the island (and also the most popular although not as good as Agnadio - is Marmita) On a slight downside, although the breakfast is rich and has at least one different plate every day, its quality is not that good but I wouldn't necessarily say it's not worth it. The rooms definitely need an mosquito net

Still here until end of the week but I feel to write the review during my stay because is worth it. Amazing view from this location with all the see and Skiathos town in front of you, room very clean good breakfast friendly and supporting staff a place for leisure on the poll with such a great view !!! Thanks Vigles !!!

This hotel is by no means a worthy holiday experience, especially for the money 142p.n. (To be clear: The view, staff, coffee, pool and pool beds and transport arrangements were positive). The rooms however are a very big disappoin**ent. The rooms are so dull, gray and worn out, this is by far the worst hotel room I’ve seen in a long time. Beds and pillows are cheap and too firm, the bathroom has mould in the shower and is incredibly small. The walls are paper thin. The cleaning staff left our terrace door open for a full day twice! The breakfast looks bleak and uninviting. The hotel ground are littered with old garden furniture which looks like it had to be replaced 5 years ago. If this hotel reopens for the 2024 without grand renovation you should avoid it at all cost!! See the photos for a impression of the state of the rooms.

Lovely hotel & staff
