La Piscine Art Hotel, Philian Hotels and Resorts

The hotel was excellent… everything was exactly to my liking! The staff were amazing, they couldn’t have been more helpful. The pool was pristinely cleaned every day and the sun beds were very comfortable. I had a meal at the crazy cow. The food was exquisite, both myself and my friends enjoyed every second of the meal. Not only the food but the wine was recommended specially by the staff, for me and it was beyond perfection. The atmosphere from this hotel was something I have not experienced in any other location I have visited in Greece. There is something truly authentic and pure about this hotel. I would highly recommend to all my family and friends.

All I can say is wow… this hotel amazed from start to finish. The staff are attentive, doting on your every needs - nothing is too much of an ask. From boat trips, beach recommendations, car hires and even transfers at my request.. this hotel is 5 stars and even beyond. Aesthetically the rooms are impeccably clean, fresh and have an authentically “Greek” feel to them. The pool had plenty of space and empty beds always for us to relax, not to forget the pool bar and staff were excellent. The vibe of the hotel is tranquil and was perfect for myself and my husband. The hotel is situated in the heart of skiathos town- a perfect location to access everything necessary for an unforgettable vacation. I couldn’t be more grateful that I chose to stay at this hotel.

Definitely not 5 star … though rated a 4 star by Tui and Jet2. Location is on a tatty street our room overlooked car park and fish market , also it is further out of town than it states - along a road with very uneven surface dodging mopeds and cars. We had ants in our room even some in the bedding - they moved us to a different room but were not overly apologetic- should have been offered some recompense ! Rooms cleaned daily plenty of towels. Spacious comfy bed but bathrooms are very dated - black mould on grouting and shower & floors need replacing. Pool area very nice sunbeds very comfortable but never saw them being cleaned. Some broken tiles around pool. Breakfast just average need to do better - orange juice was awful made from powder , hot items on buffet barely warm, no cooking stations for eggs etc so eggs in warmer tray often hard. Showers and toilets next to pool need upgrading - very dated and in poor state, Had some great meals in Skiathos old town which is very pretty, We would not return here

Superb Place to stay , Lovely Welcome drink on arrival and cases taken to the room, the staff here are wonderful and a credit to the hotel , especially Alex Andreas and Georgious on the bar area , Room was adequate for our short stay Crazy Cow meal was lovely , Short stroll 10 mins max onto main ***** in Skiathos town , we will return , Glen and Clare Oldham

I have a visual impairment, I’m blind in one eye, my other eye’s pupil does not change in size going from light to dark making it very difficult in extreme light and dark, plus it has a cataract. My booking was through Tui which described my room as being a twin room with balcony or terrace plus 1 sofa bed etc.. Tui kindly made a medical requirement for a light bright room. I also emailed the hotel to explain my problem which I always do. I received a polite reply saying they would try their best to accommodate me! The room they gave me was absolutely disgusting, it was very dark with just a small window and no outside space. They called it a shared terrace when it was simply a shared walk way. I was informed I had only booked a standard room!!! I told the reservations manager I couldn’t stay there I would have to move. I was asked to give it one night and see how I coped. I politely told him.. tell you what I’ll poke you in the eye so you can’t see, then you tell me how you cope!! I was staying 11 nights.. they also had the cheek to charge me their 5* tourist tax rate an extra €10 a night for that room!! I had been travelling since the early hours coming specifically for Greek Easter which had started. I struggle with fibromyalgia and was in a lot of pain having to wear a neck support. Tired and frustrated I wanted to try and find somewhere else to stay. Reception said they would try and move me but they were fully booked!!! I struggled at breakfast as the tables were too close together, they also have lots of staff walking around getting in the way all the time making it very difficult for me. The levels around the hotel are up and down, steps here, slopes there, cracked tiles around the pool with trip hazards. Sun beds so close together you have to walk close to the pool to get to a bed, again a risk hazard for anyone! Lots of staff standing around doing not a lot, very charming and friendly but not once did any of them walk round the pool and ask if you wanted a drink.. no you had to go to the bar, order and then they would bring it over. I had to leave my door open when I was in my room apart from when I was getting showered and dressed. Nowhere to put my swimming stuff to dry or rinse through some underwear as it was a walkway with just a table and chair outside. I have never stayed in such a bad room in all my travels and I have stayed 5* on many occasions in Greece (check my reviews). I spoke to Tui after a week who informed me the hotel always has spare rooms for emergencies, hey presto I was moved the next day with just 4 days left of my stay there. I was moving to The Troulos Bay Hotel for the remainder of my holiday so booked and paid the hotels transfer.. as I was leaving a lady on reception told me she would miss me, really I don’t think so!! The icing on the cake was the transfer.. wearing my neck brace because I was in pain I had to ask someone staying there to take my cases to the hotels transfer vehicle. The driver jus

Just had a lovely week at this hotel Location is perfect for walking into town where all the bars and restaurants are. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful We had a room overlooking the pool Huge Comfy bed. Would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday.

Nice clean hotel in good location for restaurants, bars, harbour, shopping, supermarkets and bus stop. Good size pool with comfortable sun beds and tasteful decor in bar/restaurant and poolside area. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Balcony view of mountain from deluxe rooms not so good. Feel that the hotel is focusing too much on items that are unnecessary and letting itself down on the basics. For example thick fluffy robes are not needed in such a warm climate, we didn’t use ours at all. It would make more sense for the hotel to put more emphasis on getting it right with basic items e.g. a proper catering style toaster in breakfast area (my toaster at home is bigger than the ones provided) a food heater that actually works would help in keeping the cooked breakfast items warm, teapots that pour properly without spilling all over the table, and invest in some teaspoons as it’s not environmentally friendly to use disposable stirrers. It would be a far nicer touch to have breakfast tables pre- set with cutlery, cups and saucers and have waiting staff serve coffee/tea directly at the table instead of having to go back and forth carrying hot liquids. A fresh omelette cooking station would also enhance the breakfast experience. Only ate in the restaurant once, but also ate in the restaurants at both sister hotels Black Pepper and Achinos. We thought that the menus at all three restaurants were rather vague in describing what the meals actually consisted of, for example I ordered sea bass and was surprised when served with a bowl of rice in tomato sauce with a couple of tiny pieces of fish within it, yet rice was not mentioned within the description on the menu.

A beautiful small hotel. I visited with my sister in law last week just to kick back and chill. We stayed in a superior room and the complimentary bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch we didn't expect. The weather wasn't fabulous all the time but there is plenty in the island to see and do. On sunny days the sunbeds were comfortable and well organised with fresh towels put out on each. The staff are very friendly and ensure you are made to feel welcome and soon know you by name. Particular shout out to Alex and George. We will most certainly visit again.
