Me And My Best Friend Wanted To Go On Holiday To S
Me and my best friend wanted to go on holiday to somewhere hot and where we could definitely have fun. My best mate's parents own a villa which we visited in Rhodes last year. So the New Stella Studios, Lindos was a good option for us.
We arrived with the rep to our accommodation. (the apartments are hidden away and are difficult to find alone.) We were told by the rep that the accommodation was simple. And that it definitely was.
One ring literally and one small ring which was apparently to make coffee on. These cooking facilities were situated at the end of the sink. (very dangerous). It was stated that utensils were going to be available.
We found odd numbers of knives and forks, plastic plates, one glass. A fridge which was out of action and an extra fridge taking up one of our two power sockets available for the whole room!!!!!! and only a few cooking pots not that they could be used on the cooking facilities available anyway.
A very thin door which resembled my bedroom one as a front door which we didn't particularly find comforting. No option of air conditioning which was stated in the book would be available to buy.
A shower/toilet in one room, with no curtain, or shower tray/standing facility. also the shower itself (handheld) leaked and was fixed with cello tape which made no difference to the water flow. Broken locks on windows, the windows themselves looked as if they had a rotten wood disease, threadbare curtains the lot.
This accommodation was hardly what was explained in the book or by the travel agent. the picture shows a terrace. there is one terrace which is shared by all of the rooms. we didn't get a balcony because we were two floors up. With a piece of string hanging out of the window for our washing line.
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I spent five minutes in the room and we left immediately to find other accommodation.
The accommodation of other travellers which were on the same plane and stayed at the new Stella had dirty sheets, human waste and food left all over their apartment as a nice welcome. I really wouldn't recommend this place to anyone that wants to feel safe, clean and comfortable.
Lindos itself is beautiful, I recommend in Rhodes Prasonisi, Afandou beach and of course Lindos beach.
Before we left to go to Lindos we both read these reviews and I really do hope you will take into account the experience we have just had.
We also booked this dump first 2 weeks in June 2005 with Olympic Holidays. We arrived at midnight after a 5 hour flight delay. The rep quickly showed us the room and could not wait to get away. IT is directly opposite the donkey station and emerging in the morning you are right in the middle of hordes of day trippers.
Dirty, shabby and worn are complimentary. Stained mattresses, disguting bathroom, greasy cooking area, broken bed. The rep agreed that it was unsatisfactory and admitted that there had been previous similar problems with this accommodation. He reported it but would not offer us a change of accommodation. Promises to clean and replace furniture and mattresses were not kept and we moved to better accommodation.
Complaints were ignored throughout the rest of the holiday and 3 months later we were offered £150 refund after several letters.
DO NOT GO TO NEW STELLA YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED IT IS A COMPLETE DUMP. Have stayed in several places in Lindos and never had such a bad experience. Lindos is still beautiful and never had a bad holiday there.
