Hotel Rene

This a wonderful small family run hotel. Sotos and his team are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are basic but extremely clean and the shower and air conditioning are brilliant, who spends lots of time in their room anyway. Beds are very comfortable and large. Breakfast is fair, you would never go hungry but cold fried eggs are not great. The view from the hotel is breathtaking and as previously said in other reviews, if mobility is a problem then careful consideration should be given or be prepared to taxi. Pool area is lovely and due to travelling in October, never a problem to find a comfy bed and we were lucky to have fabulous weather. You can get a light snack ordered and drink from the fridge and when the fridge is not manned, it is operated on a trust basis, you help yourself and then pay the next day. Megali Ammos has a pleasant beach with some lovely restaurants. Skiathos Town is vibrant and has everything you would need, one main street and lots of little side streets to explore. There is a plentiful supply of boat trips and worth doing, we managed to see dolphins on the one we went on. Koukounaries beach is worth a visit, beautiful with a couple of places to eat and drink and they will bring a drink to your bed if you so wish !! Easy to get to by the local bus service. Will definitely return to this beautiful island and Hotel Rene, thank you

Clean hotel, comfy beds, and a good shower. Staff friendly and helpful. Great views from all rooms. Lovely pool area. It's very high up, so a steep walk up from Skiathos Town, so maybe a problem for anyone with motility problems. Plenty of taxis available though if needed and quite reasonable. Breakfast each day is the same. It would have been nice to have some variation plus hot food could have been warmer.

Great location and views Clean rooms and general areas Good size pool and good availability of suns beds Breakfast good choice Due to elevated position hence the views , the walk to town and the beach is quite hilly on the way back afterwards!

We stayed for 2 weeks and loved it. Very welcoming staff who go out of their way to help you. Rooms were really nice, and the beds are really comfy. Overall, the cleanliness was really good. Bar and food till about 8pm, and then after that, there is an honesty bar.I have to mention the views that were amazing as you're up a hill. Pool side plenty of loungers of which some face the lovely views. Location wise, you're not far from the town centre, around a 10 to 15-minute walk.

A lovely place to relax by the pool. Also this hotel is run by friendly and efficient staff. Rooms are supplied with clean towels and linen and immaculately cleaned every day. The hotel is centrally located in the town of Skiathos - very handy for restaurants, transport etc

Such a great hotel with fantastic views. Ok there’s a hill to climb so not recommended for those with walking difficulties but we managed it in extremely hot temperatures. Lovely pool area. No traffic noise so had some really good night sleeps which is important for me. The hotel is family run, with a big shout out and special mention to Nick and his sister for providing first aid to my husband when he stubbed his toe moving my sunbed. Breakfast was adequate. Lovely terrace area outside our accommodation which we used to just sit and watch the world go by. Just one tiny ******, we had to pay 5 euros each for a towel for a shower on our last day which we didn’t expect to pay for as a resident. Will definitely be back soon. Oh ! And Skiathos is such a beautiful island with beautiful people (and cats)!

Great hotel to relax in, venture out from with easy access to local bus, Skiathos town and harbour for trips to beach or other islands. Many good restaurants within easy walking distance. Don't believe the hype about the hill! Hotel staff very helpful and friendly.
