HOTEL MATO

This accommodation should come with a BIG warning because there is no vehicular access. Access is via about twenty steep steps, a trail of narrow paths, or a steep hill. Either way, anyone with luggage will struggle. My kind taxi driver helped me when I arrived, on my departure, a jolly man from Manchester heaved my bag to the top of the hill. I was lucky.||The hotel itself is unusual. Think of visiting the home of someone who has not bought any new furniture for the last fifty years but has collected knick-knacks and you are on the right track. However, the bedroom was clean and the bed linen was of a high quality.||Breakfast is served from 8.00 in the morning and it was delicious. A pot of coffee, decent orange juice, greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts, mini croissants, toasts, fresh bread and cake. There was also cereal if you wanted it.||Lots of cats seem to live there but were all outside when I visited. ||Mine was a last-minute booking for one night because of weather problems affecting the ferries. I'm not sure I would want to stay there for any length of time.

Our recent stay at this charming two-star hotel in Skiathos was a delightful surprise. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, exceeding our expectations for the price point. The hotel's convenient location offered easy access to all the amenities Skiathos has to offer.||We were particularly impressed by Fofi 's hospitality and the unexpected treat of a complimentary breakfast, which was particularly abundant.||A unique aspect of our stay was the presence of friendly outdoor cats. While this might not appeal to everyone due to the smell, our seven-year-old son and the children from the accompanying family absolutely loved them.||It's important to note that the hotel's location within the old city might pose challenges for guests with mobility impairments due to the narrow steep streets and stairs.||While the hotel itself may be modest, its prime location, coupled with Fofi kindness, made our stay truly memorable. We would happily return.

Loved hotel MATO service and welcome were superb. Building typically Greek charming beds. A little hard breakfast. Delicious! Will return

Lovely place up the hill, very characterful. Fofi the owner looked after us very well and sorted our taxi. Large breakfast, will stay there again. Ask her how many cats she has !

A short but enjoyable stay. We had the amazing room 10 with the best view imaginable of Skiathos Town with a huge private balcony. This was an old family home with a lovely lady as a host right in the old town. Lots of friendly cats greeted you on the outside of the hotel. Breakfast was OK, not particularly big.

We were originally only booked in hotel mato for one night, but unfortunately got caught up in the devastating floods that hit the islands. Fofi, the owner kept us up to date with local news, and when our flights were cancelled, let us stay longer, lucky for us that her oncoming guests cancelled! |It’s a lovely, quaint hotel, tucked away up a cobbled hill. Lots of cats, which was fine by us, but maybe not for some. Thank you Fofi for your hospitality in what was an awful time for your beautiful island.

Great value Hotel without giving up on the comfort. Very friendly staff who couldn't do enough to help. Traditional style Reception & Breakfast areas give a very homely, family feel to the Hotel. We were made to feel very welcome. I would look to repeat our stay at Mato.

Quaint mini pet friendly boutique hotel with a lot of character. Very inviting, informative and helpful reception personnel. Very clean and vibrant lobby area with lots of character. Room was very spacious and spotless with magnificent views from the balcony of the water. I felt at home at this marvelous little hidden gem. Even though it’s a little bit off of the main transient walkways we will definitely come back.
