" Like going back to a comfortable second home, staying at the Hotel Skala is guaranteed treat in every time. And, this time, our twelfth visit, we stayed three weeks enjoying everything the hotel and Patmos have to offer--in a word, a perfect Greek island vacation made possible by a warm, friendly, and efficient management and staff who make you feel like family. The hotel is an ideal combination of location (in the heart of the town and mere steps away from the lively port and the main streets) and peace, greenery and serenity; the Skala's entrance and flower-surrounded courtyard with seawater pool with bar are set off from the main street. They are reached via a short, lush bougainvillea-covered entryway. So all you hear is the bubbling water of a small fountain as you enjoy the varied breakfast choices on the sun-drenched terrace. Rooms are comfortable and modern and kept clean, crisp and cool. In some rooms with a seaview, you can sit on the balcony and take in the blue of the sea and sky before deciding which beach or attraction you want to enjoy, day and night. Whether it's the absolutely transparent and refreshing Aegean water with fish which swim up the beaches or a visit up the hill to white-walled Chora for a daytime visit to the Unesco-recognized monastery and church sites or in the evening for fine restaurant meal with a stunning view of Skala with its twinkling lights below, you will remember the sights all winter--and come back as we did the next year! While we appreciate all the team members at the hotel, a special word here for Anastasia at the reception, Dimitris in the breakfast room, and Dimitri at the bar. Manager Dimitri, now two years into his management, is perpetuating the top quality of the Skala, with dedication to improving it every year--although it's tough to see how you can improve upon perfectoin! Thanks to all and see you next year!wh "

"Please note that this review is completely honest, unlike the presentation of the Silver Beach Hotel, which is extremely dishonest. For example, the photo gallery features images of the 5-star Aktis Hotel. It should be noted that the Silver Beach Hotel does not have a reception. You arrive in a backyard that serves more or less as a dump and you wander around with your suitcases before finding someone who takes you to the 5-star lobby and then shows you what you are entitled to in the “Silver Beach Annex”: a tiny room of about 15 m2, and even then! (presented as being 20 m2). You cannot fully open the French window! Breakfast included, we still paid 129 euros in September to live in such a small place. Avoid!"

"Amazing experience and they saved us, we had made the tragic decision to book with this other hotel called 9 muses which say they are a 5 star hotel they are not. This hotel is, first of all just the drive in and the reception is a 5 stra resort, you feel like you are on holiday, the smells, the sounds everything. They were nice enough to let us choose between 2 rooms, and we chose the one with the swim up pool, even though the pool was public, hardly anyone went in, so it felt very private. The breakfast was impeccable, even though the service at the breakfast was a bit slow. Lovely shower, great taverns on the beach next door, staff very willing to help you in any way, one even offered to go shop my groceries as he was going that way. We actually extended our stay because of how relaxed we felt. Definitely the only hotel I will be staying in in Patmos"

"First of all, let me mention that we had 4 very hot days on the island. But the air conditioner had a very hard time cooling the room and made noise during its operation. The room every time we came back, noon or night, was too hot and had no other opening than the balcony door to make electricity and change the air quickly, so we were forced to leave the door of the room to the corridor open and the door of the corridor to the outside area as well so that there is electricity and after about ten minutes we close them and turn on the air conditioning. The view from the room was very nice, on the bay, but at any time of the day you couldn't sit on the balcony because of the heat. The furniture in the room very old and the mattress not comfortable (at least for me who is quite heavy). The shower very small, fortunately with a fabric curtain that doesn't stick to you like the plastic one. The hotel has a very nice small pool overlooking the bay and shaded in its corners by 2 trees, the only new and the only nice one in the hotel. The ground has a big slope so the hotel is built on levels, but it does not have an elevator (we were told they will have one next summer). From our room to the street where we parked it was 4 floors, with stairs, and another one below the room the pool. Parking in road widenings. The staff was very kind and helpful but few for the size of the hotel, something that was mainly seen at breakfast. Plates were getting empty and you had to ask for them to be refilled, apparently why didn't they have time? The breakfast was full but typical, of average quality and without anything interesting. Also, the extra charge at breakfast for any coffee (espresso, Greek) other than filter makes a bad impression. Overall, despite the friendly staff, it was not a pleasant stay."

"Clean studio with an unbeatable view and very competitive prices, just 50 m from the beach. The owner is a true Greek – a bit rough and a man of few words, but with a heart of gold. He has spent his whole life at sea, and his stories, though rare, carry the depth of the ocean. Don't miss to eat at the restaurant of his brother beside the studios. Excellent genuine greek food."

"Great location, clean, new bathrooms, great bed. Host was very pleasant and all the breakfast staff. Reasonable price for value."

"Even in the middle of the summer season, this place remains a haven of peace, charm and inspiring beauty. The rooms are stylish, the view is superb, and Elina Scoutari runs her hotel like your family home. Most of the modern amenities are there, smartly combined with a traditional Greek setting at its best. It's perfectly located, so you can easily access the beaches and all the wonderful sights in Patmos."

"The rooms were not clean enough At the front desk the woman wasn’t speaking English In the room, the refrigerator was very loud and it was very difficult to sleep in that voice In the breakfast area, everything was served open, and there were flies around"
