Hotel Rene

We stayed at Hotel Rene at the last minute due to travel issues. Excellent rooms and the staff were incredibly helpful, particularly when unexpectedly we had to stay one more day. Brilliant views over the sea and although a short sharp walk to and from town Taxi services are very reliable and not expensive. As well as the usual snacks available at the pool bar / café there is also the option to try Thai Street food...an unexpected treat. Andy

Its the view that makes this hotel, its breath taking. Very steep hill to walk up/down but only short walk into town so think carefully before booking. Taxis cost 8-10 euros situated at the harbour. Room was very clean had everything we needed, 20 euro returnable deposit for safe key and hotel tax to pay when you arrive. Some parts of the room were a little dated and bathroom took a long time to dry out as no window (room 404 ground) so had a bit of a smell sometimes. Breakfast was a bit of a let down, hot was not hot unless you were there at 8am it was cold so we just had toast every morning. We had lunch there once because it rained all day, they do not do chips/fries just to let you know. They have strict pilolicies for taking food at breakfast time back to your room like fruit. We noticed that eating out has increased, 2 club sandwiches and two coffees was 42 euros down town.....i guess its the same everywhere so you pay it. All in all was ok the weather wasnt on our side though.

This small friendly hotel was a great find. The rooms were very clean with good facilities. Lovely walk in shower and bathroom. Beds super comfy and individual air conditioning. Only 33 rooms so it was ideal. Location was idyllic with stunning sea views from every room. Plenty of comfy sunbeds and additional 4 poster daybeds which were great. Lovely pool. Breakfast was just enough. Continental and a cooked breakfast too. Easy walk into town and beach at the bottom of the steps. Friendly and helpful staff. Couldn't fault this place at all.

We booked this hotel based on the great reviews and location and we wasn’t disappointed. Family run with a always a friendly welcome. We wanted a small and friendly hotel and this is exactly that. Yes the faculties are a little basic, however that didn’t impact our stay. Beds were comfortable, and room was exceptionally clean. The breakfast, although basic was good and filled a gap. Housekeeping came in everyday and made the beds and emptied bins etc. The bath towels were quite small and hard (need some fabric softener on them) but that would be the only criticism. The hotel is located on a steep hill so it is not suitable for the faint hearted or anyone with mobility issues. All in all, a great little hotel in a great location with friendly and helpful staff.

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.

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 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.
