Anastasia Hotel Stalis in Stalis

Very basic hotel definitely wouldn't give it 3 stars on arriving, more a 1 + star rating, staff not helpful or friendly on arrival. Not dropped at reception by transfer and had no clue where the entrance was, as there were no signs. Not disabled friendly, no help with luggage and no kettle in room, asked for a kettle, but was told to wait until house keeper was in next day, but asked again later and was given one by same lady on reception which was only in the room behind, which took all of 2 minutes if that, to get for us. Asked if we could exchange for a ground floor room, but was told no because they don't know who may be coming in. But, we asked the Jet2 rep after 2 nights and was moved immediately. On entering the room, the fridge had a towel inside to soak up water. The same fridge stopped working after 2 days and was replaced with a new one. The room wasn't cleaned on Sunday and was told they don't clean on Sundays, which was a new one on me. Also, no towels were given, although dirty ones were taken out. We complained and was told they only had bath towels but no hand towels. The next day still no hand towels and also only one bed got changed and the other was left un made, the floor wasn't swept and the bathroom wasn't cleaned. On complaining again, the reception said the cleaner is very good, so then we showed her the photos of the dirty taps in the bathroom and mess on the floor, of which she said nothing. We mentioned one bed not being changed, and she said it will be done tomorrow at which I said, give me the sheets and I will do it myself, at which she said we only have one. Also, mattresses, when stripped, were stained.. As for the food, it is very repetitive and basic, and there is no taste, also mostly cold, drinks machines weren't clean, cups and spoons often ran out, so left people waiting. No drinks were offered with evening meals as you had to pay for one, which on ordering we were given watered down pineapple juice at 3 euros, after then we bought ours from the supermarket at only 2 euros a carton and refilled our bottles from our fridge and took them with us to our evening meal. Location and amenities weren't good if you were older or disabled, as you had to cross a main road via an underground tunnel that had steep steps, again not for elderly or disabled. Then a walk to the right and 1st left, which is quite a walk for some people. On the only plus side, the odd staff member was friendly but not many smiley faces, but again, the cats‍⬛ were friendly, which may add another star I must say I will not return or recommend this hotel, I'd rather go camping and I hate camping

The hotel is very dated, including the rooms. Our bed was very uncomfortable and it was like sleeping on a brick. The pillows were not great and I ended up with a sore neck each night. We ended up skipping breakfast after 2 days - tinned hotdogs and cheap plastic bacon were among the few options. Dinner was hit and miss. The location was good, not far from the town and beach, and the pool was very nice. They could do with some new sunbeds and parasols though. We were disappointed that the weekend live band was cancelled. We really struggled to find anywhere with good evening entertainment in Stalis unfortunately. Staff at the hotel were friendly but overall we would not go back.

Positive first, Staff were lovely without exception! The pool area was kept clean and tidy albeit people ignored the no reservation with towels rule, there were always spare sun beds. Albeit not that comfortable. Room was basic but adequate Less positive; Pestered by semi feral cats at mealtimes, not helped by people feeding them! ( as noted in some reviews) The food was not good, and to add insult to injury it was usually lukewarm, I saw warm chicken from the kitchen being added to chicken that had gone cold, they did the same with Pork. The brochures states it's family owned, that's no longer the case, regular visitors told us it has gone downhill!. I won't be back, to this hotel, there are better more central hotels in Stalis

We stayed in room number 516, it was dated and run down, stinking toilet, ants crawling under the door from the garden, nails sticking out of skirting boards ( dangerous ) absolute flea pit, see attached photos. With regards to the food it was inedible the worst I have ever experienced anywhere in the world, we were literally feeding the hotel cats with it, and even some of them turned their noses up at it. We moved rooms for a late check out to room 712 which (as had a lot of other rooms recently been refurbished) the room was faultless really nice, clean, absolutely perfect and would have made our stay more enjoyable, even with the disgusting food that everyone was talking about. The staff were friendly, the pool and sunbed areas are all very clean and faultless, Apparently the food was amazing when the hotel was family owned, but since it has been took over the new owners are serving up cheap horrible dishes.

The hotel itself could be so nice but a lack of maintenance and repairs, along with some really dodgy workmanship means it is really appalling. That was our room anyway. The smell from the downstairs bathroom was awful and we had to literally hold our breath to go in there. The food was terrible and mostly inedible, even the stray cats turned their noses up at some of it when we offered it to them. Cheap tinned hotdogs for breakfast that were swimming in yellow brine really puts you off! We used the ‘gym’ and to say it was basic is an understatement- the treadmill was out of order our whole stay despite being told each day that it was getting repaired the next day. We did get it for free a couple of days after complaining that we were paying €5 a time for a gym that only had a third of the equipment working. Good points were the staff - really friendly and helpful. The pools were immaculate and there was always plenty of sunbeds. We requested a late check out and had to move to another room as ours was booked out. This room was lovely and had obviously been recently renovated - a million miles away from our flea pit! Like I’ve said, this hotel could be amazing with some TLC and a little more quality with the food.

Just returned after 10 days in annastasiaHotelcrete Positives rooms basic but clean Bar staff and reception staff happy abd friendly. Pool areas ok Negatives main issue food night time warm at best same menu each night When i asked for hot food told to use the microwave. Breakfast ok apart from no tea bags for 4 days when I asked for some told finished.this us supposed to be half board. The lady in the restaurant is rushed off her feet by herself trying to get clean crockery and top the food up as well as filing juice etc. No wonder she never smiled. We have been here 7 times never again.The biggest issue is the manager no people skills at all not even a good morning.who ever now runs this hotel needs to take a good long look at the managment, entertainment ahd and staff morale. Whilst there six couples who had like us been there many times said never again shame. This is a honest review as myself and partner visit greece at least 3 times a year so not what to expect firvwhat you pay.

Rooms were basic but cleaned regularly. No tea making facilities in room. TV was old style and not working. Food was awful for breakfast. Garlic mushrooms, chips, carrots and anything else that was left over from night before. Location is not great. You have to go under dodgy underpass or risk life crossing main road to get to shops, restaurants and beach. Staff were not the friendliest. Prices at bar were through the roof, €22 for 2 gin and tonic. Things are a lot cheaper if you risk crossing the road. And food is amazing if you eat out. Would not recommend. Apparently the good feedback they get is mainly from previous owners. They changed about 12-18 months ago.
