Rigas Hotel Skopelos - Epar.Od. Skopelou-Loutrakiou

An excellent choice ! A nice place to stay in Skopelos and see the island. Happy and extreme polite personnel. The restaurant is a must if you like Greek cuisine.

I was in Rigas hotel from 29.06 to 06.07 and it was great because of great service Big thanks to Kostas, best waiter and barman,also thanks to George, Metaxia and lifeguard Oresthis. Amazing service and nice atmosphere

Positives: Staff was very helpful and friendly, rooms were clean, breakfast buffet was good and it varied every day, premises were beautiful and well maintained. Location is close to the harbor, the center and 2 markets. Negatives: Even though the room we stayed was traditional, it could use some improvements. It had a window up high that was completely out of reach, which meant that the room could not be made dark from sunrise to sunset, heavily impacting sleep quality. The shutters,though made of wood and very traditional and nice, wouldn't close properly. The air - condition was pretty old and took a very long time to cool the room. One of the pillows on the bed was terrible, but to be honest, I should have just asked to get it switched out. The in-room fridge was also not very good, it kept the things coo, but not exactly cold. Lastly when we arrived the AC in the room we were first assigned was not working, but instead of switching us rooms immediately we had to wait hours for the technician to come and evaluate it first before giving us another room, which was very uncomfortable since we were fatigued from the trip there. They did switch our room though, and it was better. In general and overall, staying there was a pleasant experience and I am sure the issues we faced are probably not present in the better rooms of the hotel and/or could be managed with ease so as to enjoy your stay.

I really do not understand how this hotel has good reviews. The rooms look like the comunist era hotel rooms in Romania, they are small and with nasty furniture, the water was leaking at the toilet. They had someone come to fix it but it didn’t work out, we lived with that. There was a persistent smell of canal when you opened the windows. The staff speaks English badly. The good parts: the food was good , it was clean and the courtyard is full of beautiful plants.

Absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and adherence to Covid precautions was 1st class, felt very safe. The breakfast was amazing such fabulous food and well cooked, different choices every day and plenty of it too. The staff were very approachable and couldn’t do enough for guests, I asked for a kettle and it was in my room within 1 hour - what great service eh? I must also mention the hotel is animal friendly and I struck up friendships with a couple of “resident” cats which also enhanced my stay. It’s a short walk into Skopelos town where there is a plethora of restaurants, tavernas and bars where you can enjoy authentic cuisine. The poolside bar serves an array of drinks including cocktails all of which are very competitively priced. My room 203 was very big as was the balcony, my bed extremely comfortable with lovely cotton linen and plenty of soft towels. I very much enjoyed my stay and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this hotel, thank you to all the staff for an excellent stay.

The hotel is managed by a very accommodating, friendly and personable young couple who are very eager to see to your needs an make you feel welcome and at home. They went out of their way to assist us and even provided very thoughtful welcoming touches in our room (more than once, I might add) Great location; a short walk to the ferry port and the local shops in town.

The room has nothing to do with the rooms presented to the photos. They gave us a room that smelled really bad. I asked them to check the bad smell to my room, the guy from the reception came, he admitted that there was a bad smell and he told me that he will see what he can do. Later though he came back to me and told me that the only thing they could so was to spray the room with air freshener!!! I have never seen in my life such a bad handling of a problem and complaint that was admitted as existing one. The breakfast is basic and low quality. The only reason i am giving one star is because i cannot give minus five.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel so much. The staff was really helpful and willing to help us with any questions we had. Our room was great and the whole island was a new experience for us. Definitely would come again!
