It is a very nice hotel which is very clean. The aircon especially is superb as they are Brand new. The beds are firm and some of the best we have slept on in Greece. The hotel is easy walking distance from the Port and also a very flat walk which is great if you have any mobility issues.

Small friendly hotel,perfect location.

This was our second stay at Aretouse and we will return as we love skiathos. This hotel is ideally situated at the top of the main street for all Skiathos town has to offer, but far enough away to be quiet. There's ample parking in streets around and about. The Room was a good size and very adequate for a 3 star hotel very clean and kept so, with TV, wifi and air conditioning , fresh towels every day and large balcony. Breakfast is basic but adequate, shower cubicle was on the small side but worked ok. The reception and cleaning staff are all excellent friendly and very helpful a real asset..

Lovely hotel close to town centre.

We enjoyed our stay of 11 nights. The staff was very friendly and the food was good. The hotel is close to town centre so you have acces to everything. The room was clean and tidy, the only downside was the matress wich was a bit too hard for our taste. We recomand this hotel and we would go back again.

A couple of minutes walk from the lively town centre but quiet and tucked away from hustle and bustle. Fabulously friendly staff. Not pretentious, but good basic accommodation. Fully air conditioned - would definitely book again.

Excellent Hotel and location

We arrived to a very warm welcome from Nancy, who throughout the holiday was fantastic and very friendly, together with all the staff. Our holiday was fantastic, Hotel was very conveniently located in walking distance to the port and all the tavernas and bars, which meant no travelling of a night. We hired a car, but the buses and taxi's are reasonaly priced. Our Hotel was basic, but excellent value. Very clean, air con, TV and hairdryer and balcony as stated in the details. The breakfast was continental and plenty to choose from and as much as you wished to have. There was a breakfast room, but we always eat breakfast outside in the Courtyard which was very pleasant first thing of a morning. Our room was cleaned every day with the linen changed every other day, which we thought was excellent. We didn't even get this service in the 5* Hotel we stayed in in Rhodes! We asked for a taxi to take us back to the Airport on our last day, but the Hotel Manager insisted on taking us to the Airport himself. He did not speak English but was a friendly man who always greeted you with a smile and a hello. We are already booking our stay for next year. You will not be disappointed if you stay in this Hotel.

Nice skiathos hotel

We were totally shattered after a long journey when we arrived at Aretousa. They had double booked us, but swiftly delivered us to another hotel just down the street. The woman on the front desk was very accommodating and very helpful. The bathroom was small- but as I said, we stayed in a neighbouring hotel was lovely and clean though with air conditioning.

Hotel is clean, AC is strong, hot water good The breakfast is basically bread and cheese- no fruit and TANG instead of OJ Hotel is hard to find and needs more signage from port/ferries. Staff is VERY nice and pleasant. This hotel could be much better if breakfast were better.

It was a convenient location, and nice hotel. We stayed one night on our way to Skopelos from Paris.Aegean airlines lost our language and hotel's staff, especially Nancy, we're extremely supportive contacting people at Skiathos airport for us. Finally, next day our luggage was delivered.Very nice breakfast. Will stay there again.

Consigliato!

Personale cortese e posizione ottima. Anche se gli asciugami vengono cambiati ogni due giorni e le lenzuola ogni tre, l’hotel è molto pulito. Abbiamo soggiornato due volte nello stesso hotel. Durante il primo Soggiorno la stanza era abbastanza vecchia (la doccia aveva anche un po’ di ruggine), nel secondo soggiorno invece ci è stata data in camera più nuova e confortevole. L’hotel si trova a pochi passi da Papadiamanti, la via principale, ed è comodo per raggiungere il porto (anche a piedi), tutte le spiagge e l’aeroporto.
