Azalea

Amazing cozy apartments, with a stunning view. Very helpful and nice staff. The service were great, they picked us up by arrival, and brought us to the airport for departure. The apartment had everything we needed, and we could not be more happy.

From what I can see, this place used to be lovely. However, it has since become run-down and not well looked after. The overall presentation of Azalea is very poor, the grounds are in complete disarray with items strewn around everywhere. The furniture is very dated but OK, the rooms were clean (ish). Beware - there are hidden costs to staying at Azalea which are not mentioned on any online booking platforms. €6 per day to use the air conditioning. When I refused to pay this extra charge (as air conditioning was listed on my booking confirmation as an included amenity) the owner became very angry and aggressive towards me. He began shouting at me in the middle of the road, waving his arms and pointing his fingers in my face. He demanded I come into his house to pay - I refused. He then also tried the same performance on my partner. This was very scary and intimidating as a small female. I can see why Yanni leaves these costs hidden, as he hopes to force people to pay them by using bullying, aggression and intimidation towards his guests at the end of the stay. The only redeeming factor is the lady who checked us in was lovely and seemed very distressed by her boss’s unacceptable behaviour towards us. The location is good as it’s opposite a beautiful beach and a small 15 minute walk to Skiathos town. However, very close to a main road so traffic may keep you awake at night. It is cheap but certainly not cheerful. I would really recommend scrolling past this one and finding somewhere else to stay. We have stayed in many places on Skiathos and this is the only time we have ever encountered any issues at all. Avoid, avoid, avoid! Skiathos has so much beauty, do not let a stay here take the shine off as it did for us.

Room comfortable and very clean. Kitchen was adequate for what we needed. We were greeted with a smile after a late night arrival due to flight delay. Nothing was too much bother for the owners , even when I lost the door key.

Personne pour nous accueillir à notre arrivée à 17h ( la personne dormait), pourtant j’avais envoyé un message avant mon arrivée. Personne non plus pour nous dire que la climatisation se paye 5euros , pareil j’envoie un message auquel personne ne répond. le lendemain matin à 9:50 je demande les infos de la Clim au manager qui me parle très mal ( misogyne), et me dit que je le dérange pendant son petit déjeuner… Les draps sont tachés de sang, le lit et mobilier sont vieux et poussiéreux. Le robinet de la salle de bain nous ait resté sur les mains en voulant ouvrir l’eau. Il y a un nid de guêpe sur le toit du balcon, les guêpes n’arrêtaient pas d’entrer dans l’appartement. N’ayant pas de Clim nous dormions fenêtre ouverte. Hôtel sans interlocuteur, sans sens de l’hôtellerie ni de l’amabilité. malgré la vue sur la mer, l’hôtel donne sur une route qui est extrêmement bruyante.
