イリダ エーゲアン ビュー(Irida Aegean View-Philian Hotels and Resorts)

Stayed a week with Jet 2. Good room size, good breakfast and good bar and pool area - very comfy sunbeds and pool towels provided daily. It’s a small hotel so never felt crowded or noisy. Stayed in Room 6 and although not the highest room had a good view from the balcony. We got a great view of the moon one night. The 20 walk into Skiathos has some hills both ways but there is a bus - bus stop 6 - on the main road at the bottom of the hill - and taxis available - if you get fed up of walking. The beach is stony near the hotel but walk along a bit and it’s lovely and sandy and the bars and tavernas have sunbeds and shades available. There’s a small water sports company renting pedalos etc - tried paddle boarding for the first time - good fun - and the water was calm so a good place to try it out. 20 Euros for an hour - 10 Euros for half an hour. The Jet 2 luggage system is a pain - luggage arrived an hour or so after we’d arrived on the way in and is collected 2 hours before transfer on the day of departure - but that isn’t the hotel’s issue. Would stay again but would book separate taxi back to the airport.

A small and friendly 16 room property, very nicely appointed with some lovely features. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice pool area, sunbeds and towels provided. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Small bar with long opening hours. No food available except breakfast and a small snack menu until 3:30pm. Superior room (8), top floor with sea view good and plenty of space. Excellent sized fridge which actually kept drinks cold. Safe in room. Kettle provided if you ask. Hairdryer in bathroom. Good AC. Hotel has the advantage of being opposite Bus Stop 6 - which is the main, and one and only bus route Skiathos to Koukounaries. But not so good for people with mobility issues as the hotel is up a hill and then quite a few steps. Hotel Driver/bus can be booked for various transfers (and similar price to a taxi) per room price is: 10€ Skiathos 12€ Port & 15€ Airport. Or catch the very crowded bus for 2€ each Airport - There is a local airport bus or shared taxi - €10 to the port Location was a bit too far from Skiathos Town for us (25mins walking) and although access directly opposite is onto Megali beach - it the stoney/grit end. We walked further up to the sandy area and hired 2 sunbeds outside the Thessaloniki restaurant which was great value; giving access to drinks, wifi, toilets and a reasonable restaurant…

Just had a very different week on the spectacular island of Skiathos. We had two and a half lovely days before the Floods of 2023 hit the island. Let me say the Greek people are just unbelievable. Helping you in any way they can when their homes and businesses were devastated by the floods. This hotel is a very short bus ride (from just outside the hotel) from the main town of Skiathos. There is a great eating place to the right as you come out of the hotel but, to be honest, every place we ate for lunch or dinner - the food was outstanding. This hotel is just lovely. The views are unbelievable. The pool area is lovely with a pool bar to serve you drinks throughout the day. The staff are so helpful and cannot do enough for you. Nothing is any trouble. We had a great view from our room 11. There is a steep hill up to the hotel but it's all worth it when you reach the top. I have one recommendation. It's not a criticism. The hotel serves a very adequate breakfast but there is no other food available throughout the day. The surroundings - a beautiful seating area - are crying out for a snack bar - especially at lunchtime if you're spending a day at the pool. It is a very small hotel - part of the charm - but I still think worth a snack bar. We would have eaten there sometimes if this had been available. However, this did not spoil our holiday or the hotel. Would definitely recommend. Thank you to all the great staff who were fantastic through a difficult time for themselves.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this hotel. Great views, big, clean room and the staff were lovely, helpful and friendly. The breakfast by the pool is delicious with lots of choices and the pool area itself is gorgeous - we just wish the pool didn’t close so early at night (7pm) but that would be the only negative. Easy parking was also a plus. Would absolutely stay again.

This was a lovely Hotel, the staff were wonderful, our room(9) was a lovely size, fantastic views, large size bed, good size shower room, hair dryer, free safe, good a/c, the only thing the room lacked was tea/coffee making facilities, shampoo and shower gel supplied, but when it run out was never replenished, bath and hand towels replaced every day, even though the room was made up everyday, the bed linen was never changed in the eight days we were there, I had a stain on each pillow, but was never changed, the stains could not be missed, I know you are going to say why didn’t I complain, I wanted to see if they got changed, but they didn’t. The pool area was really lovely, comfortable sun beds, pool towels supplied, but no beach towels supplied, lovely bar area. Breakfast was really good, scramble eggs, fried eggs, omelettes, bacon and sausages, wonderful pastries etc This is the BUT, this is not a wheelchair friendly or if you have trouble walking, this Hotel is not for you, the driveway up to the hotel is quite steep, my wife and myself found it quite difficult to walk up, we had to stop at least twice to get our breath, in the end we used to get Taxis back from town, but if your not high you don’t get the views, and the views are stunning. From the Hotel is about a 25 minute walk to Skiathos Town, you can get a bus, but only if you can get on them, in the evening they are coming from the beaches so every bus is full, we tried to catch a bus into town around 19-30, three buses passed us all full, the run every 5-10 minutes, but you are lucky to get on one. This is a lovely Hotel, but the location is a little be out, next time we will definitely stay in the Town or a lot closer

Review We have had an excellent 13 night stay at Irida Aegean View. A quiet and relaxing atmosphere when we were there June/July. We had a top floor room (no 10) with fabulous views of the said Aegean. Very comfortable room and bed. Rooms were cleaned daily with towel change every day. Bedding changed every other day. Having holidayed in Skiathos before we made full use of the pool with a few days out and about. Great pool although possibly not suitable for small children as 1.5 metres deep with no shallow end. Great views also from the pool/breakfast area, which comes with the price of a steep climb from road level. Well worth the climb in my opinion. We are 59 and 66 year olds but took it slow especially in the heat of the day. The car park is about half way up from the road at the bottom of the steps up to the hotel. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Alexandra and Markella very approachable and helpful local girls. The gentleman who provided breakfast was a star. Breakfast was great with a wide choice. I don’t eat meat but found plenty of options.

This hotel has gorgeous sea views. The rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped. The staff are amazing, Markiela and Alexandra went above and beyond more than once for us and nothing was too much to ask of them. The hotel is approx a 20 minute walk into Skiathos Town, but there is also a bus service and the hotel can arrange transfers for you too.

Boutique hotel style with pool and outside bar overlooking ocean. Rooms had balcony view of ocean to sit and relax. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Bus stop is walkable. Small rocky beach is walkable.

Lovely location with great views over the Aegean, lush vegetation and great pool terrace with view. Helpful and friendly staff with good local knowledge who were always willing to go the extra mile. Whilst most of our time was spent exploring the Island , Aegean view was a marvellous place to enjoy breakfast looking out over the sea as was the pool terrace for the odd spare moment. We would stay here again without hesitation.
