We stayed in the Alkyon, from 28th sept 6th Oct/23. just weeks after the storm devastated the island, like others have said, its remarkable the resilience the people of Skiathos and specifically the staff at the hotel have shown.. The hotel is clean and very modern in design, with a wonderful terrace for breakfast buffet. We don't think the premier sea view rooms are are worth the extra money, just for a sea view balcony, they are EXACTLY the same as other rooms otherwise. The major selling point for this hotel was the excellent staff, particularly the young reception staff, who could not do enough for you. They enhanced our holiday, but finding out information, booking trips, and a host of other things. Truly remarkable. We stayed half board and enjoyed breakfast on the terrace and for several nights in the restaurant on the front(linked to the hotel), before that closed for the winter, so we then eat in the breakfast dining area, for the rest of the holiday. Food quality was variable. Some nights the food was excellent and other nights disappointing. Where you gained from buffet style, where the food is not always hot, you lost as there was only two choices for starter & main course and none for desert. In future we would have gone B&B, but probably would have had to fork out more for food, as prices in Skiathos are not cheap, unless you shop around. Another major selling point, is that the hotel is situated, right in the centre of Skiathos for shopping, boat trips, buses etc. We had a great relaxing holiday at Alkyon and would recommend. Finally, I would recommend a trip to skopolos, but maybe not on the Mamma Mia boat LOL
