Magic Hotel

We’ve been coming to Skiathos for over 10 years, and our recent stay at the Magic Hotel was, once again, absolutely wonderful. This time, we stayed in a superior suite as a family of three, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The room was spacious, beautifully presented, and spotlessly clean, with excellent air conditioning (a must in the Greek summer!). The views were simply stunning, and having a washing machine was such a useful bonus for a family trip. Our 10-year-old son was thrilled with his very large and comfy sofa bed, and we all loved relaxing on our large balcony—a real highlight of the suite. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. Monica greeted us like old friends, remembering not only us from previous visits but even my parents from over 20 years ago—such a warm, personal touch that means so much. It’s this kind of hospitality that keeps us coming back. The pool area is lovely and peaceful, with no need to rush for sunbeds—a refreshing change from so many other resorts. Everything feels relaxed and civilised, which is exactly what a holiday should be. Breakfasts are excellent, and Julian was fantastic—so friendly and attentive. He even remembered us from 2019, which made our mornings feel all the more special. The grounds and hotel are always immaculately maintained, and we also really enjoyed using the mini gym and pool table. Maybe a few weights in the gym would be beneficial. The Magic Hotel continues to live up to its name—a truly magical place that feels like a home away from home. We can’t wait to return again!

What a lovely hotel, certainly worthy of 4 star rating. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, attended to our every need including sorting hire car, getting luggage up and down the many steps from the room at the top which was really clean and serviced daily. Balcony view was one of the best over the bay. The breakfast buffet had a wonderful choice of anything that you could wish for, even omelettes and scrambled eggs if you asked. The restaurant was equally good in the evening, we ate there twice as its namesake “the view” is enviable. The menu was a little different to the traditional Greek offerings from the local tervernas so made it something different. Special thanks to Julian and Jimmy in the restaurant whose service and smile made us feel very welcome, their attention to detail was second to none. The many steps to the rooms could be a challenge to those with mobility issues but this goes with most of the hotels on Skiathos as they are built on the hillside not just this hotel. All in all a great stay 10/10 Kevin & Nikki x

This was our third visit to this wonderful hotel. Monica and the other staff are so friendly and welcoming. Bedrooms are immaculately clean. Maid service daily with clean towels/bedding. Free beach towels are available to borrow. Julian in the breakfast room has a fabulous personality and always made us laugh. The hotel is in a great position near bus stop 16. Lots of restaurants in Aghia Paraskevi. We will definitely be back!

Just returned home from a week at the lovely magic hotel. This is our second visit to the hotel and it’s as great as ever. The rooms are clean and comfy, the restaurant called the view is first class, breakfast is wonderful, in fact the perfect hotel. Near to amenities and plenty of restaurants also bus stop 16 a 2 minute walk away, can’t fault it. Staff are truly the best, Christina on reception, jimmy and Julian in the restaurant and Ever at the pool bar were all first class. Monica is also lovely and calls all guests by name to give that personal feel. Sorry to leave but hope to return… Sue & Rob B

We stayed in the middle of August and had a fantastic stay . The hotel was spotless and rooms were lovely always cleaned on a daily basis . The pool area relatively small but was of high standard . Had a small pool side bar with food and drinks . Nice quiet ambience with lovely sunbeds very comfortable. Always had beds available. Is little road noise which didn’t cause any concern . The staff are lovely , in the restaurant and reception. The manager she was very friendly and always stopped for a chat . If you need anything they are there to help . Food in restaurant was very nice and we had breakfast every day and was lovely and plentiful. There are a lot of stairs to rooms etc so if stairs is difficult then can be an issue . Towels for beach and pool are provided free of charge . Location wise it was perfect 10 mins on bus to main town . Beach just across the road with nice beach bar and calm clear warm waters . Loads of nice restaurants around the area if you want to stay local . Restaurants we liked were ; lithos taverna, taverna maistrali , both down a side road just past supermarket on left . pork and roll ( for lunch ) do a lovely gyros . But use the hotel restaurant they do lovely food as well . Bus into town is easy bout 10 mins and run regularly. Would we go back again ? MOST DEFINITELY! One thing to add, nothing to do with hotel . But the supermarket just down from hotel on left the man in there was horrible when u pay for goods and you want to pay in local currency so your bank does the exchange rate , you think you are paying in euros and right before it goes through he presses a button to pay in your countries currency so you pay a lot more for the goods . I had a big argument as he doesn’t ask the customer how they want to pay but on screen you think you are paying in euros until it’s too late . Make sure you say you want to pay in euros !!! ( well it is the currency displayed on the goods )

This is our second time in Skiathos but first time in Magic Hotel - won’t be our last! The hotel is in a great location at bus stop 16 and 5 minutes to the beach. The staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you. We loved the pool area, proper comfy sunbeds and no reserving meaning a choice every day with fabulous views. A great pool bar with two lovely ladies who remembered your orders, as do the waiter at breakfast who was also great. The hotel is really clean and spacious. I used the gym and my only ask would be to add some weights to the cardio equipment available. We also used the View Restaurant and loved it so much we went back on our last night - the best food we had despite having beautiful meals at the local tavernas every night. So much choice of bars and restaurants within 5 to 10 mins walk. And the steps were worth it for the views and burning a few calories!! Loved it!
