Skiathos Thalassa Philian Collection in Skiathos Town

Don't book the premium beachfront rooms they are not premium and not beachfront, part sea view and tin roof of restaurant, cooking smell all day till late on the night, loud music till very late , my view book a better hotel for a similar price

Booked Thalassa Skiathos based on the ‘4 star’ hotel review and also the wonderful photos. Well was i in for a rude awakening. We needed to book two seperate rooms for 4 nights due to low availability. This we knew and i was comfortable with. Night one was to be in one room, with the additional three nights in another. We walked into the first room having noticed a cob web very visible and cleaning to be less than satisfactory. (Picture attached). We then moved into our second room, which again seemed to follow the trend of substandard cleanliness and a toilet seat with visible scratch marks throughout, and a shower that leaked water everywhere. We were told two weeks before our stay that for the final night we would be upgraded to an ‘Executive Room’. We walked into not only a far smaller room, however an even smaller bathroom than the last two rooms stayed in which were meant to be less in price. (Photo below). I phoned reception asking for a room change noting we had not complained once throughout. A supervisor was advised to which due to limited availability could not be changed (noting there was availability at Thalassa Cape according to the website). I then asked for a 50% refund for the evening given we did not ask for this room change, the hotel changed this on us despite this booking being set some months ago. This the supervisor also denied this, to which i advised i would be writing a review to notify other potential travellers to proceed on caution. Ultimately, the pool is far smaller than pictured, overall cleanliness is less than ‘4 star’, bathrooms need major renovations and not located as anticipated in the town centre at all.
