Vigles Sea View Hotel

"Came here with my girlfriend in the Spring and had an absolutely amazing time. Great hotel. We stayed in a ground floor room, and while I see a lot of reviews have complained about the rooms being dirty, this was not our experience at all. Our room was spotless and had regular cleaning each day while we were out. Maria was extremely helpful to us at all times and offered us lots of suggestions of things to see and do on the island. The hotel is up a steep hill so if you are not so comfortable with walking I would recommend a vehicle. However, we did the entire week on foot and really enjoyed the walk up and down the hill to the main part of town. The highlight of this hotel was the breakfast. absolutely gorgeous breakfast every day, offering all you can eat. My girlfriend said she would come back again just for the breakfast. The hotel is quiet and very out of the way. No issues with noise at all as all guests seemed respectful and friendly. The only gripe I had was on our first day moving in, the water from our tap was a bit brown and gammy. We reported this immediately though and it was dealt with the following day so it wasn't a big issue. Overall a great stay and definitely would consider returning on my next trip to Skiathos."

"I agree with the other reviews “it’s a scam” Sold at a higher rate with the intention of knowing you will take a small refund back with a free taxi to the airport or the town ! I feel sorry for the staff , the manager was very nice . There was a number of people waiting for her attention . The photos are false I thought I was in the wrong hotel when I arrived . Everything you touch is falling apart . The decor is so out of date by 30 plus years . The view from the pool is superb Glad we only booked for one evening !"

"To begin with, it's not a hotel, but a house—a very old one, in dire need of renovation. It's also not an aparthotel, as the rooms don't have a kitchen or living room. In the guest building, there's no lounge area whatsoever! There's no indoor space to sit or relax. Reception and check-in are at the poolside bar. Breakfast is also served—ALWAYS—at the outdoor tables by the pool. A long table is set up with the breakfast buffet. The food is displayed regardless of the sun, rain, or wind. There's no other place in the "hotel" to put things. The hotel's photographs are extremely old and misleading. The towels are white and changed daily, and the staff is attentive. The outdoor furniture is very worn and doesn't match the photographs. The bathrooms are old and unappealing. The hotel urgently needs renovations and, above all, updates to the photos on its website and rental platforms, as what they show is completely misleading. I can tell that they must be fake photographs."
