Magic Hotel

Well what a wonderful find - we stayed for 2 weeks and had one of the best holidays of our life. Ok, it may have a fair few steps but boy what a reward with the views. Every corner is spotlessly clean, staff helpful & friendly. The breakfast was perfect to suit most tastes and ‘ The View ‘ restaurant served Fabulous meals and free ouzo ! We stayed in June and there were plenty of sunbeds and reserving with towels is not allowed. Maybe would get a little short in peak season. The pool is large and just what you need after a trip into Skiathos town. If I had to find a fault it would be that there is a little traffic noise otherwise 10/10 .

We stayed in the middle of August and had a fantastic stay . The hotel was spotless and rooms were lovely always cleaned on a daily basis . The pool area relatively small but was of high standard . Had a small pool side bar with food and drinks . Nice quiet ambience with lovely sunbeds very comfortable. Always had beds available. Is little road noise which didn’t cause any concern . The staff are lovely , in the restaurant and reception. The manager she was very friendly and always stopped for a chat . If you need anything they are there to help . Food in restaurant was very nice and we had breakfast every day and was lovely and plentiful. There are a lot of stairs to rooms etc so if stairs is difficult then can be an issue . Towels for beach and pool are provided free of charge . Location wise it was perfect 10 mins on bus to main town . Beach just across the road with nice beach bar and calm clear warm waters . Loads of nice restaurants around the area if you want to stay local . Restaurants we liked were ; lithos taverna, taverna maistrali , both down a side road just past supermarket on left . pork and roll ( for lunch ) do a lovely gyros . But use the hotel restaurant they do lovely food as well . Bus into town is easy bout 10 mins and run regularly. Would we go back again ? MOST DEFINITELY! One thing to add, nothing to do with hotel . But the supermarket just down from hotel on left the man in there was horrible when u pay for goods and you want to pay in local currency so your bank does the exchange rate , you think you are paying in euros and right before it goes through he presses a button to pay in your countries currency so you pay a lot more for the goods . I had a big argument as he doesn’t ask the customer how they want to pay but on screen you think you are paying in euros until it’s too late . Make sure you say you want to pay in euros !!! ( well it is the currency displayed on the goods )

This is our second time in Skiathos but first time in Magic Hotel - won’t be our last! The hotel is in a great location at bus stop 16 and 5 minutes to the beach. The staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you. We loved the pool area, proper comfy sunbeds and no reserving meaning a choice every day with fabulous views. A great pool bar with two lovely ladies who remembered your orders, as do the waiter at breakfast who was also great. The hotel is really clean and spacious. I used the gym and my only ask would be to add some weights to the cardio equipment available. We also used the View Restaurant and loved it so much we went back on our last night - the best food we had despite having beautiful meals at the local tavernas every night. So much choice of bars and restaurants within 5 to 10 mins walk. And the steps were worth it for the views and burning a few calories!! Loved it!

A last minute booking meant we could only get a family room in the top block of the hotel. In my late seventies I had to climb 154 steps from the road to get to our room. Something that should be considered when booking. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A very good breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea in the distance. Close to the bus stop for easy travel.

We stayed at the Magic Hotel for 7 nights in June and we have stayed in Skiathos twice before this trip and this hotel is our favourite so far. Monica the manager was very welcoming and helpful at all times. In fact all staff were great, particularly jimmy who worked very hard at the pool bar and then at the restaurant at the evenings too, very friendly. Julian in the restaurant made sure everything ran smoothly and was always very friendly too. The breakfasts were lovely and eaten outside with the lovely views. The dinners at the hotel restaurant called The View were the best we had all week in Skiathos so we ate there 3 evenings. Pool, bedrooms, restaurant and communal areas all very clean and tidy. All in all a great hotel and hoilday.
