Princess Resort Skiathos

We visited for 2 nights in early October, booked fairly last minute through Jet2. We were upgraded to a sea view room which was great! The weather wasn't that warm so we didn't get much use of the pool (which was freezing cold). The recent storm had brought in jellyfish to the beach too, although the sea was warmer than the pool. Our room was really nice and the bed was comfy. Good transport links, right near a bus stop to take you to town. The breakfast food was pretty good, with a selection of local foods too. Although everything could be hotter, some things were stone cold.

It’s a really nice resort the amenities are immaculate. They have a lot of wellness classes, such as yoga, Pilates. The gyms was amazing and the instructors were very attentive. The food was good. The pool and service overall are lovely me and my family had fun. Would definitely recommend.

I had booked 5 nights in September 2025 at the Princess Hotel but had to leave after the first night, shocked at the state of the rooms. The room I was given was extremely unhygienic. As someone with a mold allergy, I could feel the mold the moment I walked in. The bathroom in particular had a strong mould stench that gave me a severe headache and brain fog for the entire next day. When I raised this with staff, they came to inspect the room. Although they admitted they could smell something, they insisted there was “no mold.” Although I could not visibly see any mould, I could feel its effects strongly, so I believe it may have been painted over. They then offered to move me to another room, but that room had been heavily cleaned to mask the odor, and the chemical smell was so overpowering I couldn’t stay there either. Meanwhile the people I was travelling with had a Signature Room on the top floor, which was newly renovated and completely fine. I requested one of these rooms, but they were fully booked. Despite the health risks associated with mould exposure, the hotel offered no compensation. They said that if I provided medical proof of my allergy to their reservations team they “might” consider doing something, but gave no guarantee. I sent a letter from my General Practitioner doctor but I received no reply. I lost thousands of dollars. Most places in the world have hotel health standards, The Princess Hotel non renovated rooms are a health hazard. In the end, I had to find and pay for another hotel. It was so stressful and ruined my holiday. I ended up finding a little hotel exactly opposite and the staff were so kind and understanding. They mentioned that they have heard of other guests complaining about mold. Given how unsafe and unhygienic the standard rooms are, I would not recommend staying at this hotel unless you book a Signature Room. The older rooms should be completely renovated, as they smell badly, feel damp, and are not fit for guests. It was terrible that they did not offer me any compensation for an illegal room in most countries.

Had a fantastic 11 days. Stayed half board. Food was fantastic but too repetitive for 11 days. I would suggest staying b & b as there were plenty of restaurants close or in town a 2 euro bus ride away. Plenty of comfortable loungers on the beach or by the pool. Fully recommended..

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely hotel, our room was clean and the location was perfect for accessing the town and local restaurants. The pool and beach area were great, and we easily found sun beds even in September. The food was very good, especially the breakfast with its wide selection. The staff were all friendly and helpful, with a special mention to Christa at the pool bar for her constant smile and willingness to chat. The bed was a bit firm for my liking, and the room could have used a couple more electricity sockets, but these were minor issues and we've already booked our return for next year.
