The Orsa Hotel is in a lovely quiet position off a narrow, cobbled street above the harbour in Skiathos Town. The hotel offers superb sea and harbour views, 24 guestrooms and is just a few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants, tavernas and nightlife in Skiathos.
Right Choice
This simple hotel will appeal to couples and families looking for comfortable, centrally positioned accommodation with great views. This is a popular base from which you can enjoy a relaxing holiday in Skiathos. The hotel is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties as there are lots of steps to reach the hotel and cars / taxis cannot drive to the entrance so some walking is involved.
Location and Resort
Skiathos Town is on the east coast, in a bay scattered with small islets. Away from the waterfront, the narrow streets wind past traditionally whitewashed houses with their picturesque red roofs whilst the waterfront itself is a bustling, lively scene, split in two by a promontory, which has a medieval fort, and holds open-air summer concerts. To one side is the Old Harbour, lined with cafes and restaurants. Boats from here will take you to various beaches around the island. On the other side, the new port is the stopping point for all ferries, and is also the place to catch the hourly buses, or taxis.
Swimming Pools
The property does not have a pool but you can walk through the hotel garden and down some steps that lead to the rocks, where you can sunbathe.
Eating and Drinking
Breakfast is served beneath the vines in the hotel garden overlooking the water.
Accommodation
All have bathroom/shower WC air conditioning TV fridge most rooms have a balcony/terrace * (certain amenities may be payable locally)
Rating and advising on hotels around the world is a tricky business as standards and facilities vary so widely not to mention issues such as décor style, service levels and location with particular relevance to gay amenities.
We don’t pretend that we have got this right but our Pink Triangles are our attempt to give a personal assessment to enable comparisons to be made between the various properties in an area which we feature. Couple this with price and our hotel descriptions and you should be able to make a reasonable assessment.
