Estella Studios

Everything was tidy and well cared for, including the bathroom and shower. The rooms are simple and on the small side, but my husband and I had enough space. They’re bright, and the owners and staff were very friendly and ready to help. The hotel is right by the port, with shops, restaurants, and beaches all an easy walk away, yet it still feels quiet and safe.

The owners were so friendly, and the service was excellent. We had a roomy ground floor room because we were traveling with our little dog, and even the neighbors were friendly. The place was clean, and being close to the port made it easy to walk to restaurants and Brunchery. Kontokali beach is also an easy walk. We'd gladly recommend it.

The staff were laid-back and helpful, and there’s clever artwork throughout the hotel. It’s just 50 metres from the ferry, with lovely rooms and a drive of about eight minutes to the main beaches. There are a lot of flies on the island, which was the one small downside.

We stayed here in 2023, and it was easily the worst hotel experience I've had. Our room was small, and there’s no elevator, so we had to carry our bags up to the second floor. Nobody offered to help. At reception, a kid was playing PlayStation with friends and handed us a key without seeming sure it was the right one. Very unprofessional for a three-star hotel. The towels were changed every three days, and the cleaning wasn't good. The small balcony was dirty and noisy, right above the busy road where the ferry leaves. Breakfast cost an extra 15 euros per person. While we were there, workers repaired a water leak just outside our door, making noise and dust. Anna never asked how our stay was, perhaps because she knew it was bad, though she did tell us how to park properly in the hotel lot. It isn't like it used to be. The service is now very bad, and the place is completely overpriced. There are lots of other options on the island these days.
