Hotel Prince Stafilos in Skopelos Town

Boasting 4 stars, the hotel is scenically and peacefully set back from the traffic noise of the main road. It is located within walking distance of the city center, in a nice peaceful area. It has a beautiful garden and a terrace with a pleasant pool area. The hotel seems very rustic, but certainly not without personality and a certain charm. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are quite similar and a bit small. We were first given a room with an unusually narrow double bed and common sheets. We immediately asked for another room with two single beds. It could not be accommodated until the next day, so it was a largely sleepless night. Unfortunately, the hotel is incomprehensibly poorly run and managed, to such an extent that it was a regular topic of conversation among the guests When you come as a tourist to a 4-star hotel, you do not expect to meet: Lamps that do not work. The toilet seat that sits crooked on the toilet. The drawer in the wardrobe that is no longer in the hanger and therefore cannot be used. The drain from the bathtub that makes an overflow on the floor. Dirty tooth glasses in the bathroom. Lack of shower curtains so the whole bathroom sails after a shower. No electric kettle in the room. Missing or defective storage box. Thinly worn, tattered towels. No napkins in the bathroom. Very superficial housekeeping and no cleaning at all in the week we were there. Periods when there is no hot water in the tap. No extra pillow or blanket in the room. A dense layer of dust under the beds. A defective toilet at the reception area, where the water flowed loudly directly into the drain throughout the week, without the slightest thing being done about it. The breakfast was a thoroughly depressing experience. Breakfast is taken in the large, gloomy dining room, where the atmosphere is heavy and sad as in a burial chamber. The curtains are drawn for the small dark windows, and the electric light is full blast even though the sun is shining outside. The stay included dinner at the hotel all week, but the food was so talentless and incompetently made, so it was almost comical, and we therefore chose to eat out several times.
