Oniro Skiathos

Just back from a week at the Oniro and what a fantastic find! From the minute we arrived we were looked after by the fantastic staff. Maro, Niko, Atashia, Chris and the rest of team could not have done more for us. The rooms were modern and spotlessly clean with towels and sheets changed daily. My only tiny criticism of the room was the lack of hangers and drawers for storage. The location of the hotel was to die for if you want a chilled and laid back holiday. The pool and views are amazing. If you want to pop into town you can use the regular hotel shuttle bus, which will also if requested drop you off at the local bus stop or beach. Breakfast was varied and delicious and food in the restaurant both at lunchtime and in the evening was beautiful. The service in the restaurant was also amazing. Niko made the best mojito on the island! Was so sad to leave, we have been truely spoilt and not sure how we will ever find another hotel to match the Oniro. Thank you guys for everything.

Well we have just returned from a cracking week at the Oniro Skiathos. We’d like to reiterate what has been said in other reviews about the secluded location and fabulous views from the hotel but also to give credit to the staff who made our stay so enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble for front desk who sorted an easily accessible room for us when we informed them of kaths mobility issue, also they organised our hire car at a moment’s notice . Our room was modern and comfortable with a large bed . Our room cleaner was lovely and kept our room spotless..we enjoyed the buffet breakfast which had plenty of variety of food and was constantly being replenished by the ever cheerful staff. It was my birthday during our stay and on that morning I had a generous surprise when the head waiter and his team presented me with a birthday cake and sang happy birthday!. Took me by surprise and most thoughtful.. thanks and thanks for making our stay so memorable. Would thoroughly recommend Oniro ! Steve & Kath

Oh we loved it ! Quiet, adult and friendly. Staff wonderful, pool area and views elegant, rooms stylish. Best, last minute booking I have ever done! Minibus served a good purpose if you wanted to move around. We would have hired a car if we had been there for longer. Restaurant excellent. Just go! Top tip, take coffee for your room if you prefer that, they only put tea in the room.

The rooms are excellent great balcony for the morning but need furniture for reception side for afternoon sun no coffee or sugar on complimentary tray Room cleaned everyday with fresh towels Shuttle bus was an added bonus into town for supplies but we did hire a keep for three days to explore more of the island Bar prices in hotel pricey Breakfast was very bland after a couple of days The toaster was a domestic home 4 slicer which took forever causing queues or cold food please buy a new toaster

Although this hotel is a little remote, this is balanced by the stunning views and the fabulous staff. Nothing is too much trouble for such a small hard working team. The rooms (only 40) are spotlessly clean and bright, with air conditioning, safe, fridge, TV, and comfortable beds. Most rooms have a sea view. Due to the slightly remote position, the hotel provides a free shuttle bus several times a day to Skiathos town, which must be pre booked (best to book the day before) - drop off and pick up is at the same point in town. The last bus back is at 11.15PM at night and if you miss it a taxi will cost you €15 (the bus leaves exactly at 11.15!). Although the ride to town is only 15 minutes, you would need to be extremely fit to walk it, with the access road to/from the hotel being long, steep and winding single track lane. A walk which is definitely not recommended, especially in the heat of day and it with it being unlit at night. There were no children at the hotel when were there, but apart from the small pool there is really nothing for them to do. The buffet breakfast is the usual affair and perfectly adequate. Although we did not eat dinner at the hotel (preferring to eat at the one from the vast choice of tavernas in town), we ate lunch most days which was excellent, great value and in most cases was a little too much for lunch! The bar closes a 11.00pm, and if I had one small criticism it is that it would be nice for the bar to stay open later so that you to take a night cap when you get back from town. Would definitely return!

I’m waiting to leave this lovely hotel so thought I’d write my review now. Apart from the stunning views, which I’ll come back to, the biggest asset is the staff. From the moment we arrived they have been so friendly, helpful and everything with a smile. It is a relatively small staff ensemble who are just wonderful. Shout outs to Mira, Niko and Costas who went above and beyond providing a first class service all with big smiles. The reception staff, sorry I don’t know their names, were also very helpful and deserve a mention. Fantastic service and a credit to the hotel and company. Also a shout out for those more behind the scenes who service the rooms and also man the minibus. The hotel has spectacular views across to Skiathos Town where you are also able to witness beautiful sun rises, if you are up! The rooms are clean and comfortable. Although a little isolated on the hillside there is a minibus that will take you to the port and bring you back. There is a timetable but make sure you book your places the day before to ensure a space. You can easily get a taxi from the port if you need to. The breakfast is a good buffet with hot and cold choices. Snacks are available in the bar throughout the day and an a la carte menu is available for evening meal on the terrace around the pool. Again make sure you book as it is popular. One of the best meals we had during our stay. If you are after a chill out then this is the place for you. You can walk to the beach, or get the hotel shuttle bus, but you will have an uphill climb if you walk! Would thoroughly recommend this hotel but remember it is on a hillside and a little isolated although has stunning views and fantastic staff! Thank you to all for an enjoyable and wonderful stay.
