St George, South Star Studios Hotel Review

Overall Rating

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, this is mine along with a few others that where there when we stayed! After reading reviews prior to arriving at South Star Studios Hotel, I thought we had got a good deal on a holiday, although there were quite a few bad reviews, I thought I would give it a chance. That was a very big mistake! South Star Studios Hotel is an absolute disappointment!

When the coach arrived outside, people on the coach were laughing and saying, "thank god we aren't staying there!" I was gutted that this was where we had to get off! After walking down the dirt road dragging our suitcases, we were greeted and taken to our 'room' (more like a box, considering the rooms are meant to be "spacious") it was a nightmare! This was meant to be a self catering holiday, it was not at all likely that we were going to be able to self cater in our apartment! The shower in the apartment flooded the whole room and soaked all our suitcases and bags. I do not understand why these apartments are advertised to people. I always go on a budget holiday and stay in 2 star accommodation, but this is by far less than a 2 star!

When I complained, they wanted to see our room; even they agreed that the flooding was out of order. This is not what anybody expects of any accommodation whether 2 star or 5 star! We got moved from these apartments to much nicer ones that were clean! (Even though we had to pay extra to move, it was worth it because otherwise, I would have had to pay for a flight home!)

If you are looking to stay there on a budget, please reconsider paying the extra £50 - £100. Unless you really don't mind staying in a less than basic apartment that seriously needs to be knocked down, because this is what you will get!

On the whole St George is a lovely place to stay and we would definitely return, but stay well away from South Star Studios Hotel it could ruin your holiday!

  The reviewer obviously was disappointed because they had high expectations. If you knew it was a budget holiday then what did they expect. The complex was very clean, the rooms to the standard I expected and the service and value for money above what was expected. I go on holiday to get the sun not stay in my apartment and live like I am at home. I never expect to cook meals whilst on SC holidays, especially in Greece. I knew before I left the UK that I would be eating out. If I could make a coffee then I was happy. People have to expect less when they book these holidays, because when you actually get a better service and good value for money, then I for one would be a very happy tourist.

  I have to agree why would you want to go on holiday to do major cooking,walk to the supermarket to get food? that would not be a holiday for me..I loved stars and will be going back again.
