KB Ammos

This was our third stay at KB Ammos and our sixth stay within the KBR group. Although some of the faces have changed within the staff, what hasn’t changed is the enthusiasm and commitment from the staff to ensure that your holiday experience is a good one. The team are young but manage the hotel effortlessly, from the admin and admissions through to breakfast and pool bar. Reception staff are efficient and are ready to help with any query from fresh towels to advice on places to eat on the island. The rooms are modern with a Queen size bed, digital safe, air conditioning and a good powerful shower with almost instantaneous hot water (Something that can be an issue in some hotels). The Breakfast room is airy with views across the road to Megali Ammos beach which is literally a 5 minute walk away. Breakfast boasts an extensive range of fruits, salads, honeys and preserves as well as fried foods. Omelettes are available on request with a variety of fillings. The pool area is complemented with a pool bar offering bar snacks and playing soft chill out music in the background that goes some way to create the relaxed vibe. The hotel is situated approx. 15 minutes walk from Skiathos town and 3 minutes from the nearest supermarket. Nearby is also a car and bike rental office so everything is close at hand. Thank you all once again for a wonderful holiday. Hope to see you all next year. Vicky & Mark.

In a nutshell, faultless! This hotel was perfect for our stay. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, nothing was enough for ALL of the staff here who went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. A special thanks to Eleni on reception who helped us to organise hiring a quad bike and even a replacement suitcase after mine was broken on the flight! She was attentive to everything we required at the hotel and she truly went the extra mile to make our stay special and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spacious, clean and well equipped. We also opted to have our own plunge pool which was an added bonus to have on top of the communal pool area. Sunbeds were available the entire time with no issues and fresh towels were provided daily with your pool card. Rooms were cleaned daily including the balcony around the plunge pool. Breakfast was served between 8:00-11:00 and there was so much choice! Fresh omelettes were also offered on top of the varied buffet selection. The hotel is located in a perfect location for exploring the island: just a 10 minute walk into the vibrant Skiathos Town and minutes walk away from the beautiful Megali Ammos beach opposite where there are beach front tavernas, water sports and sun beds to hire for approximately €10. If you fancy exploring the rest of the island there is a bus that runs along the main road on the south of the island from Skiathos Town (bus stop 1) to Koukounaries beach (bus stop 26). The hotel is located at bus stop 5 and tickets are €3 one way. You have to take a short walk (5 mins max) from the hotel to bus stop 4 to purchase your tickets as bus stop 5 doesn’t have a kiosk. Depending on what time you travel, the buses can get very full! Try the boat trips and visit Lalaria beach, hire a quad bike to explore the north of the island or simply wander along to the old port in Skiathos town for fantastic cocktails and food! The hotel is a perfect location for exploring Skiathos and we would be back again in a heart beat to this exact hotel in the future!

On arrival we were met by a lovely pleasant polite guy named George, offered the usual complimentary arrival drink which we had at the small but ample pool bar served by the lovely young guy Nikolas who was lovely throughout our 10 night stay and a credit to himself / hotel and his parents. Frstly the room ( 203 ), lovely upperfloor room with large balcony, inside whirlpool bath and large bathroom, the positives are plenty of space. comfy mattress , plenty of wardrobe space. negatives are no mirror behind the dressing area, the bathroom wasn't as clean as it could of been I actually cleaned the shower head of limescale so it worked properly. the balcony wasn't cleaned during our stay and the deck chairs were badly stained also the whirlpool bath was badly installed as in the silicone was very roughly done maybe with a catapult ? maybe change deckchairs on balcony for sunbeds incase none available around pool. moving onto the hotel itself... breakfast poor for the standard of hotel and the pool area required a good clean of both the pool and surrounding run off plastic grates... little attention to detail of the simple things ! bins often full. glass not cleaned, pool patio area needs a good scrub including the sunbeds which have brown suntan lotion stains on the bottom.. Once done this hotel maybe worthy of a 4 star not the 4 star plus it carries at the moment. when things requested to be done out of there normal routine the management particularly the auburn haired girl on front desk was quite abrupt and challenging at times. on our last day the pool area grates were being jet washed clean once they had been identified to them... but done whilst guests were trying to relax.... not the best timing ! why should a guest have to bring things to their attention? poor management ! lastly every guest we met were lovely and all agreed on the above. we offered a lovely couple Brian & Rachel who had a late flight home to use our room facilities as there is no courtesy room ? just the pool shower really not adequate for a 4 star plus hotel and also with the boiling hot skiathos weather there is nowhere to take shade while waiting for late flights, Brian commented on the bathroom being the size of their room (113) avoid !!!! ( this room you couldn't swing a skiathos cat in !!! ) this hotel has so much potential if they sort the simple things.
