I stayed at Skala during May 2011. I stayed there without making plans for accommodation in advance, and was picked up from the port by the owners of the hotel, Kuriakos and his wife. They were SO friendly, and so accommodating, I felt right at home, and extremely comfortable which is something I didn't anticipate. The staff of the hotel... More

The owner of this hotel is only out to make money. He charged us 21 euro a night for three people.We hadn't even agreed to stay because he hadn't even showed us our room yet. When we saw it, it was the smallest room I had ever seen. It had a double bed and two single beds all together. It... More

Very obliging owner, clean rooms, great pool, nice cafe/restaurant. 15-20 minute walk from the bars and restaurants - safer to get a taxi home at night because of narrow roads. More

a group of seven of us travled to Ios during our summer break. The hotel owner was wonderful, accomadating all of us on short notice and helping us to find another place after the first few days as regretably he didnt have space for so many of us all week. He was so obliging that he even let us come... More

I chose this from the internet where the pics, like the glossy brochure of this establishment, paint a very different picture. The room was dirty - I had to get a broom and sweep out previous occupant's pubic hair from the floor. The toilet didn't flush properly so we had to ask him for a bucket. There were cigarette burns... More

Absolutely wonderful hotel, staff can't do enough for you and are always there with a big smile. Really clean with a great pool. Best views of village and on clear days can see Santorini and Naxos. Love this hotel and wouldn't stay anywhere else More

The pictures of the hotel that I had seen before were taken by the swimming pool which is actually very nice, with amazing views of the sunset. The rest is just a place to stay a night and not even. The decoration is awful and the beds are uncomfortable. We asked for a double room and they put us in... More

We arrived at Ios without a booking and picked out Hotel Skala from the several touts waiting for the boat. There was no heavy pressure like there used to be there years ago. We were looking for something in the Chora with good views and a swimming pool. The brochure for the hotel was very glossy but it did represent... More
