Muses

2 star hotel , very basic . Breakfast basic. Room clean but dated and bathroom in need of good cleaning including remaining it was covered in mold 🤮 Location was good if you like your beaches . Being near bus stop 25 means you always get a seat on bus to town

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

We booked this hotel as it was a good price for a week in the summer holidays and wanted to visit skiathos. Was slightly worried as some of the reviews were less than complimentary, but absolutely nothing to worry about. Me and my sister travelled here the last week of August. Was welcomed when we walked in by all the staff, and had a easy check in. Our room was lovely, very big, lovely balcony and amazing bathroom with the best shower ive ever had in Greece. The complex has beautiful grounds, a nice pool (it isn't huge) but we used it a few times when we wasn't at the beach. Great pool bar and the evening restaurant Hera was one of our favourite meals of the holiday. Breakfast was provided everyday, fresh eggs, pastries, yoghurt, fruit and tea and coffee. The location is perfect, bus stop 25 is literally outside the entrance, 5 min walk to koukounaries beach and enough restaurants and bars and supermarkets in walking distance. The family and staff who run this place are fantastic and made us feel so welcome. the rooms are not self catering so I took a travel kettle with me and we also paid for the adapter for the fridge. This isn't a luxury hotel, but if you want a traditional family run hotel that makes you feel welcome this is the place for you. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
