Muses

Il personale dell'Hotel era accogliente e cordiale. Le colazioni erano molto belle. I letti però erano orribili, come dormire su un materasso di ferro. Abbiamo sofferto alla fine della nostra settimana, il dolore alle articolazioni è stato scioccante. Anche il frigorifero incluso nella nostra camera non funzionava e non c'era il bollitore in camera. Abbiamo scoperto il nostro ultimo giorno che avremmo potuto noleggiare un bollitore alla reception, nessuno lo aveva menzionato al momento del check-in. Inoltre ci sono molte scale per raggiungere la reception e la sala da pranzo, nonché la sistemazione. L'energia elettrica nelle camere è gestita da una tessera attaccata alla chiave della camera, quindi quando si esce, manca l'elettricità, quindi se il frigo avesse funzionato sarebbe stato spento tutto il giorno mentre eravamo in spiaggia ecc! Tra i lati positivi, l'hotel era perfettamente pulito, i letti rifatti e i cestini svuotati ogni giorno, le lenzuola vengono cambiate ogni 3 giorni e gli asciugamani vengono cambiati regolarmente. I letti orribili hanno rovinato il nostro soggiorno.

stayed at muses 30. 8 to 13.9. initial impressions not good. no one bothered to greet us on arrival, even though it was mid afternoon. reception just pointed 'out the door' in the vague direction of the room. had to be shown to room by a cleaner. the adjacent restaurant is very good, reasonably priced but we were plagued by flies (a common fault in skiathos) on the first night not the hotels' fault but nothing was done about it, as other places had fans etc on tables. the room we were given 146 (beware if given this or any up to152?) wasn't the type of room we booked. we eventually moved thanks to Jet2s for their help. the 2nd room was much better, spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom and shower and big balcony. the pool area is nice but not large. the constant poolside music we found grating all day but the bar staff Nancy and Mario are excellent hosts and very friendly and helpful. you have to pay extra for a kettle, fridge and aircon in the room but i think this is mentioned in the brochure. there is a bus stop 50m outside the hotel for skiathos town and all the beaches on the way and some great tavernas in walking distance, Agustera is great for sport and bar food.the Sunset apts 10 mins walk away has a beautiful pool area with comfy sunbeds, nice bar and excellent food,Teo and Pina are wonderful hosts and very friendly. Koukounaries beach is 15 mins walk away but very busy but 18 euros a day for beds maybe off putting for many. in summary i wouldn't dissuade people from visiting Muses but be sure to check your room on arrival to save disappointment from the start 0
