Called the owner twice no answer. Waited a few hours. Then a business beside the hotel called the owner for us. The room was dirty, the bathroom had exposed vents and plumbing. There was no shower head holder. We had no hot water. Even the coffee cups in our room were dirty. Didn’t bother calling the owner as we never even spoke to them and they returned any calls. We left a day early. The photos of this hotel are extremely filtered/edited. It’s very run down and does not look like the photos. Would NOT recommend you stay here. ##### Aoife Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karina Jul 2, 2024 Compte tenu du prix, c’était très correct. Emplacement idéal au cœur de la ville. Épicerie juste en dessous. Les bouteilles d’eau ne coûtent pas cher du tout. Il y avait un balcon très pratique pour faire sécher serviette et costume de bain. La douche était minuscule et le pommeau de la douche ne tenait pas alors difficile de laver les cheveux. Il y avait du sable sur le plancher. Il manquait d’oreillers. ##### Karina Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### FLORENCE Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hôtel très bien situé pour visiter Skopelos.
