Stayed here for a week for vacation purposes and enjoyed it. Nice, small hotel, great poolbar which was open from 11 am to 10 pm, however it was poorly visited at most times. The pool area was also sparsely populated at most times, which of course is nice in the sense that there were seldom any competition for sunbeds. Perhaps most guests preferred the beach, which is about a six or eight minutes walk away. The main road with two mini-markets is a three or four minutes walk from the hotel.Taxi to Skiathos town 8-10 Euro. Excellent service if you needed anything. Breakfast was modest in terms of choice, as this is a small hotel, but included most of what you expect in Greece So you should be able to enjoy yourself here, but note that there's no luxury. Rooms are ok, but not nothing extra, and the balconys on the first floor were quite small. Note also that wifi didn't work in the rooms facing away from the pool/reception area. The TV screen was very small - 19 inches? I don't go to Greece to watch TV so it didn't bother me, but be aware that you can hardly enjoy TV from the bed. Aircondition seemed weak and slow at first, but turned out to work well. Skiathos is a beatiful island, and I'm sure that hotel Galini is a good choice in most respects.

A very nice and calm hotel, no traffic disturbing in the nearest area. Small pool and a bar where you can eat one of Skiathos best Greek Salad at. Staff is friendly. Disappointments are that the WiFi does not work in the rooms and that the air-condition costs 35€ for a week (both which according to the travel agency were to be incl........)

Small ands cosy hotel with a nice bar and swimming pool. Rooms are quite small but nice and clean, and with a nice bathroom. The hotel is situated appx. 75 meters behind the main road in a nice garden. There is a nice bar - run by the very service minded Dimitri, and there are deck chairs all around the pool where you can also enjoy your drink or coffee etc. The bar also serves light meals. We booked through APOLLO TRAVEL, Copenhagen and breakfast was included in the price. The breakfast was quite nice with a selection of different types of bread and croissant, yougurt, müsli, frueit, sausages, bacon, scramled egg, ham, cheese, feta, salats and fruit. Also coffee, tea, juice etc. all very njice. I takes appx. 5 minutes to walk to the beach and 15-20 minutes to walk to the centre of Skiathos Town - very nice place with loads of nice restaurants, cafes, shops etc. From the large harbour you can go to the other islands close by (Skopelos, and Alonisssos). All in all a very pleasant 1 week holiday.

Smaller hotel with great rooms, pool and poolbar/restaurant. You get great Greek food for lunch. Good omelettes. Really nice people work there. All of the hotel is newly renovated and clean. The hotel is located a bit from the bigger road, so not traffic noise. Is placed within walking distance to Skiathos town (app. 20 minutes) - take the smaller roads closer to the beach as the bigger road has lots of traffic and not space for pedestrains. Wifi at the poolbar and around the pool.

The Galini hotel is very well placed near the sea and close to the city. Nice atmosphere and clean rooms. In the front by the pool there is a nice garden and a pool bar. You can get pizza, frites and omelet and off course all kind of beer, water and drinks.

Not sure I want to share our experience as I want to keep it quiet for as long as possible. We stayed in Galini Suites but trip advisor does not recognise it. They are owned by the same people as the Galini Hotel. They are further up the hill. Don't get confused by the name although our accommodation in a maissonette was excellent indeed. Large with a mezzanine level with a double bed, pool adjacent. Approx 7 mins walk to beach, 5 mins to bus stop for regular buses and 15 ish mins walk to town. There are quite a few steps to reach the accommodation so if you struggle with mobility or shortage of breath avoid staying here. Owners very friendly & always around.Small snack bar in grounds of the Hotel. We are in our 50's and have travelled extensively. This was overall our best holiday ever & will definitely go back as soon as we can.

I simply just love this Hotel, and the people that runs it.. I have been to 5 other hotels and always thinks that, because I love Skiathos and returns again and again, I must try different hotels, at least... But after my first stay at Galini Hotel, I just became in love with this place... The atmosphere is amacing and very relaxing.. There is always "crew" to help with any problem or question you have... The rooms are small but modern (and there is always hot water, no matter what time you wish to shower (very important))... Normally I get ear problems from poolwater, but I never had this in Galini hotel.! They make the best Pizza IN THE WORLD, and the best barbeque on thursday night (you will not find a meal that nice in town)... They will do anything to make your stay as plessant as posible... It is a family that runs the hotel, and you can feel that, I never had the slightest feeling that somebody working there "just" did it for the money or was unhappy in the job... Everybody there is sending out good energi, and this energi spreeds to the guest.. A really FEEL GOOD place to stay, I will keep coming back <3

The hotel was ok, but just ok. We had a room on the ground floor with view to the pool. The beds were very hard, a bed madras would have done miracles. The breakfast was poor also, yoghurt and canned peaches (when they easily cold have sliced freshed ones) dry bread, ham & cheese(not kept chilled). Add some sliced tomatoes, fresh fruit and serve the ham and cheese in a prober way,it would have been so much better. The pool area and the bar was ok even if we did not spend that much time there. It was a short walk to the main road where the local bus stopped every 20 minutes. 3 supermarkets to shop from was also close. It took 10 minutes to walk into Skiathos.After 2 days we found a way so we did not have to walk on the main road.
