“Lovely traditional Greek hotel”

The staff at the Stelina Hotel were fantastic. Thalia especially, gave advice on the best places to go, restaurants to eat and booked a super ‘Mamma Mia’ boat trip for us.

The staff at the Stelina Hotel were fantastic. Thalia especially, gave advice on the best places to go, restaurants to eat and booked a super ‘Mamma Mia’ boat trip for us. Lovely big pool, although could do with some more sun beds (as there is plenty of room for them) but there’s also comfortable seats in the shade under the trees. Breakfast was plentiful where you can sit outside and look out at the pool area. Rooms are basic but have plenty of space and a fridge is an added bonus. You can pay extra to use the AC which was needed in Aug! It’s a 10-15 minute walk into Skiathos town and taxis are only 5 euros back. All in all, a lovely stay!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Stellina, however there were some issues. The strong points of this hotel are the staff- who are fantastic, very helpful, supportive and pleasant. Our holiday was booked through Jet2holidays for a two-week family holiday of 5 adults across 2 bookings. When we arrived at the hotel we were allocated rooms that were not ideal and sadly not close to each other (we asked jet2 if our rooms could be close together and were advised this would be passed on however it didn’t happen for whatever reason). Our surnames are all the same but this was not taken into consideration when allocation of rooms was undertaken, as our room allocation was random. We were told the rooms couldn’t be changed (we had one on the first floor and one on the third floor). A few things to point out for the room on the first floor which was a triple room; 1. the fridge could have been colder, even though it was on maximum, ice cubes could not be made, 2. it was quite small for three adults (could have been more comfortable with a family size room), 3. more suitable/larger storage facilities would have been a positive addition for this room, 4. Replacement of clean towels was an issue at times but was resolved, 5. With regards to the tile floor cleanliness and balcony area, we had to wear flip flops or feet would end up dirty, 6. Air con was not the most efficient for €10 a night. The room on the third floor was a double room, the positives include 1. it was airy due to the high ceiling so usually got a nice breeze, 2. This room had a lovely view overlooking Skiathos Town. However, issues included 1. the shower head in bathroom could have been tighter to wall as was hard to control and 2. the front door would not close properly without locking which was a bit of nuisance and we did report to reception. Hopefully this can be fixed. In terms of the public areas, the pool was large and child friendly and was great with plenty of sun beds (potentially more umbrellas needed). There were also shady areas with table and chairs. However, although presented well, the breakfast buffet was limited in its selection and variety. Please note: only one toaster for two slices at a time- forming a queue and often came out burnt. Every day there would be a different selection of food (excellent scrambled eggs). In general, the pool bar, breakfast hall and surrounding area decor looks dated, tired and unimaginative so would benefit from a refresh and updating. On a final note, please note: we found it to be a good 15-20 minute walk from the Old Port area- partly up hill, on a busy road, with sections of unpaved pavements to get to the hotel. Not ideal at night for walking in the road and avoiding traffic. We would recommend Hotel Stellina on the basis of the helpful and cheery staff as well as it’s value for money. Remember it is a budget hotel and has the basics to enjoy your holiday. Thank you to all the staff!
