Hotel Korali

We've stayed in Skiathos 5 times now (although this was our first time in Troulos) and this has been my favourite hotel so far. We requested a room on a higher floor in advance of our stay, and we were given a great room on the 2nd floor overlooking the pool. The room was spacious, nice decor, it had a safe, air con, small kitchen (although we only used the fridge). bathroom was very nice with a large walk-in shower, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable! We couldn't have been happier. Staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had plenty of choice (eggs, meat, pastries, cereal, fruit etc.) The pool area was very nice and peaceful. We were here at the end of September and never had a problem getting a sunbed. The hotel is very close to Troulos beach which is lovely. Although the beach fills up very quickly. I would imagine you'd have to get there very early during peak season to get a spot. The buses are very convenient, stop is right outside the hotel and run very frequently into the early hours. We used it most days to visit other beaches/resorts and Skiathos town. Some very nice restaurants in Troulos, we especially enjoyed Ratatouille and Victoria (although we never had a bad meal wherever we ate). All in all, this was a great hotel in a great location and we really enjoyed our week staying here. I recommend visiting Agia Eleni beach (near Koukounaries) and staying until sunset, it's quite magical! Also, Marmita in Skiathos town is fantastic for a meal (especially their baklava cheesecake).

We have just got back from a wonderful week at this hotel. The staff were all amazing, so very friendly and they really wanted you to enjoy your holiday. The cleaning lady was really lovely and did a fabulous job. The room was cleaned every day and bed linen and towels changed four times a week. The whole of the complex is immaculate, swimming pool was always being cleaned and our room was spotless. Around the pool we always managed to get a bed. The sun beds were very comfortable. Location is very good. It is next to a fabulous beach, supermarket and local bus stop to town. I would throughly recommend this lovely accommodation.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Korali. We booked direct with the hotel so they provided the airport transfer which was a nice touch. As requested we had a top floor room with a spacious balcony. We had two rooms with a small kitchen area with fridge and two hob plates. The bath room, although small, was adequate. The cleaner was such a lovely lady and cleaned our room daily - we had fresh towels and replenished toiletries every day. We only stayed for a week but had clean sheets about 4 times. We stayed on a b & b basis. The breakfast was fresh with variety - fresh fruit, meats, bread & pastries, yogurt, eggs, bacon, cheeses etc. The patio area was lovely to eat our beak fast every morning. The pool area was very modern and spotlessly clean. We often saw the pool guy in the morning cleaning the area and ensuring the pool water was safe. This is not a large hotel so we always found a sunbed even when returning mid afternoon. On our last day we are able to keep our room until 1:30pm as we had an evening flight. We used the hotel shower room(s) early evening before we departed. They were very clean and spacious. The hotel is a three minute walk from a gorgeous sandy beach. You do need to get there really early if you want a sunbed. There are plenty of beach restaurants and also the Troulos Bay Hotel restaurant on the beach for food and drinks. There’s a supermarket next door and it’s very well stocked at reasonable prices. If you fancy gyros then the little cafe/takeaway next to the supermarket is very good! We used the bus from outside the hotel (bus stop 20) to get to Skiathos Town. It took 20 minutes and cost 3 euros each way. The bus does get busy and you often have to stand. The only slight negative for us was that there was no atmosphere in the evening at the hotel. We weren’t expecting loud music or a party but they have a lovely bar / patio area that wasn’t being utilised. If we had been out for a meal and wanted a night cap we went across the road to Edem Studios. There’s so much to do in Skiathos and we wishes we had stayed for longer. The monastery is worth a visit and of course Skopelos for the Mamma Mia church. We also visited Agia Eleni beach for the sunset, the house from Home Greek Home and hired a car to drive round the island. We loved Skiathos and will definitely be back. I would recommend this hotel as spotlessly clean and good value for money.
