I only wish I had been able to book a longer stay at the Scala hotel. I loved everything about the hotel. The staff were amazing and very helpful, the rooms were lovely, cool and clean and well cared for. The breakfasts were excellent and I loved the pool. This hotel had everything that suited my likes and taste. Thank you even though it was a short stay.

Peaceful, spotless, beautiful. The staff are so helpful. Breakfast was pleasant, with the patio, water features and arbour of colourful flowers. Location very convenient for the nearby bars, restaurants, shops, sea port and its adjacent bus stop and taxi rank but nevertheless very quiet and salubrious. Spacious, well-decorated. The room was nice, with a balcony overlooking the courtyard with port visible, plus air conditioning, a fridge with free mineral water and decent en suite shower with free toiletries. I’m surprised this place doesn’t have more stars!

Quiet, even though close to all the nightlife.

Perfect location if you’re arriving on a late-night ferry. Can walk there easily.
Checked in at midnight, all at reception desk are very friendly and helpful.
Small, clean swimming pool, can walk to harbor beach or the shops and restaurants in Skala. Taxi stand just across street about 1 block away, so you can easily get to other beaches, Cave of Revelation and St. John’s Monastery. The views from up there are spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay here—extended it by 3 nights.

A great hotel in a prime location.

A lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Easy for buses and taxis and set amongst the lovely village of Skala. The staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and had everything we needed. If I had to give feedback on improvement it would be that the pool needs a regular clean. It is sea water and lovely to swim in but there were a lot of bugs. However as soon as I asked, someone came with a net to fish some of them out.

Very Good

Excellent location. Very clean. A few minutes from the ferry terminal, yet set back from the road in a garden full of bougonvillia, so peaceful and quiet. Very helpful staff. Well appointed rooms, excellent bathrooms and a pleasant balcony. We have been hopping round the Greek islands for years and the breakfast was one if the best we have ever had in Greece. Wifi was both stable and very good.

However, there were no matress protectors on the beds, although these seem the norm in the most simple of Greek accommodation these days. There was also nowhere to dry swimwear/towels; surprising considering the hotel had a pool and beach boats and buses were nearby.

Great hotel ideally situated

We just enjoyed a great two week stay at the Skala Hotel. The hotel is set back from the sea front and 2 minutes walk from the centre. You literally walk from the busy seafront through an arbour of trees and bushes in to the peace and tranquillity of the hotel. Although holidaying in peak season we never found Skala (the town) too busy and never had a problem finding space in a restaurant or bar and there are many to choose from within 5 minutes walk from the hotel!

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was spotless and cleaned every day and the breakfasts were excellent. There’s a nice pool at the hotel, we used it a few times but mostly went out to the beaches. The nearest one was a few minutes walk from the hotel but we often took the bus to Kampos Beach and hired a couple of sunbeds for the day.

It’s not a huge island and if you’re looking to explore or visit some of the more remote beaches and sights there are plenty of car and scooter rental companies around. We hired one for 3 days and other than that used the bus.

All in all a great hotel and a great holiday, looking forward to our next stay!

Skala Hotel is a short walk from the port, close to many restaurants and tavernas, by the harbour which is a lively place. It is a tranquil oasis, a private courtyard filled with bougainvillea, and a view of the Monastery on the hill, whilst eating breakfast. The staff of the hotel were very friendly and helpful, and interested in their guests. It is possible to walk to the medieval village of Chora on old pathways, to see the monastery or the Cave of The Apocolypse. A very well cared for hotel. Highly recommended.

It's clean and spacious enough for 2 big luggages and 3 small luggages. We emailed them weeks before our trip about our vegan breakfast and requested for soy milk. They promptly assured that they'd take care of that and they delivered their promise! The Manager and his team are warm, friendly and helpful!

The Skala - a Patmos hotel with a real view!

The Skala is a great hotel and with an excellent location - just a few minutes walk from the pier where one gets off from the ferry to the island. The view of the monastery of St. John from a person's hotel window was tremendous. Late September-early October is a very good time to visit since the tourist traffic is much less than in the summer months and the island is \"winding down\" for the end of the season.

Charming Hotel!

The Skala Hotel is a short walk from the ferry port on Patmos. The building is older, but full of charm and one is struck by the spaciousness compared with many other European Hotels. The rooms are white-walled with wooden furniture and turquoise drapes and spreads, with updated bathrooms and rooms have a balcony and are equipped with a minibar. The staff was very kind. I was greeted by a very friendly young lady and very soon afterwards, the hotel manager came out and introduced himself with a handshake. Both were extremely polite.

The beds were comfortable, especially after climbing the mountain up to the Chora Monastery. My balcony overlooked the courtyard with views to the harbour and up the mountain to Chora.

All in all, my only regret is that I did not have the time to stay more than one night. In the event that I return to Patmos, I will definitely book with the Skala Hotel.

Our stay at The Skala Hotel, Patmos

You get off the ferry and walk for about two minutes and there it is, the Skala Hotel which you enter via an archway of pink flowers hanging above you head. I love this private entrance which means you are right in the heart of Skala on the main road with shops just behind and yet, you are 25 metres or so behind it all which massively reduced the street noise. It means you are in a calm environment yet not secluded from where you enjoy going to, the beach, the restaurants, the shops, the sea...The reception service was very efficient and had responded very efficiently and professionally to a private request. As it was our Wedding Anniversary and they knew about this, we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and two glasses with the hotel's compliments. The bathrooms have been modernised very recently and although the hotel has clearly been around for a long while, one feels secure and calm yet pampered at the same time. The cleaning staff and bar man too were very accommodating, the bar man giving us a free coctail on the last day as he wasn't able to find my first request which included coconut milk, so he brought me an even more delicious one over to my lounger. The pool is beautifully positioned and has salt water which personally I like very much. You can sit in the pool whilst having a drink at the bar and the water is most pleasant to swim in. Shame there is not swimming after 8.00 though but then apparantly this is common elsewhere.

Excellent Hotel and the Staff were Incredible!

From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us as if we were family. Anything we needed, and anytime we needed it they were available. We needed a car, and the owner called about 10 or 11 different places just to try to find one for us in the busiest time of year. We wanted information, they told us everything we could have ever dreamed of wanting to know about the island - even the bartender Dimitris gave us a few hidden tips about the island over a drink.

Breakfast was fresh and abundant every morning and they were still bringing new food even up to the moment that breakfast was supposed to be over (which any frequent traveler will know is a big thing!).

It's very near the port (about a 5 minute walk, maybe not even), which was a massive help after a day of planes, taxis and ferries.

We can not recommend this place enough. When we return we will definitely be staying here.

Very convenient location

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I could walk to the hotel from the ferry, and all the shops and stores were a two minute walk. The staff was very friendly and cooperative. The room was comfortable and clean. After I spent the morning climbing up to the Monastery of St. John (from the bus stop) and then walking down to the Cave of the Apocalypse, my bad knees were aching badly. I was going to walk to the beach and soak in the sea, but the pool was right there and I did not want to walk any farther. The pool water seemed to be saltier than the sea, and it was warm. The extra saltiness allowed me to float and soak my knees. It was wonderful. My camera had died, and I needed a new one. The staff sent me to the electronics store with a personal recommendation from the hotel to take care of me. They did. So, I was very appreciative of their help.

The hotel is okay, if you are looking for an average accomodation, but only for 1 or 2 nights. The staff at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, big buffet offering a big variety. But the cleanliness and condition of the room itself was not worth the price be paid. The bracket holding the shower head was loose. The remote control of the air conditioning unit did not work, such as the remote control of the television. There were some hairs on the toilet seat and also on the balcony, quite obviously. Unfortunately, the latter is the only fact I took a photo of. As to the location of the room, we had originally ordered one with sea view and got one facing the back, but we found ourselves lucky, since the street in the front of the hotel presented itself quite loud around the clock.

Skala Hotel was a pleasant stay. It is very nice, clean, and affordable. The pool and terrace make for an attractive entrance. The hotel staff is friendly and able to speak English. It is also one of the easier hotels to find in Patmos. While everything is close to the port this one is just to the right on the main street. I didn't know where I was going exactly and I still found it after just a few minutes walk. Other hotels looked nice too but were more obscurely tucked in to the neighborhood.

Close to the bus stop and the ferry pier. Locals are friendly and helpful, despite speaking little English. If you are allergic to cats, though, be prepared for constant symptoms. There are strays everywhere, and they are allowed to hang out in all the restaurants and in the hotel, begging for food.
