Good value hotel

Good value hotel. Excellent staff. Nice breakfast. Rooms are a little small but comfortable beds and pillows. My only complaint is not the hotel’s fault, that is, there is a mosque nearby that provides 4 am serenading each morning.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The staff was wonderful. I really appreciated being met at the airport after my long travel. The food was very good and the coffee specifically was delicious. The area was a bit noisy with traffic and I guess we were by a mosque so we heard the five daily prayers over the loudspeaker. It was great for a three night stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Really liked our stay at Star Shell. The staff are excellent and super helpful. We were travelling with two young kids and honestly their service and friendliness really made our trip so much easier. We were always helped with our luggage without asking and with no expectation of a tip. I would highly recommend using theit airport service. The room was excellent and surprisingly modern and spacious. With an integrated rollaway bed, it was enough for the 4 of us. Very good location too, the beach is a 2 min walk and lots of good cafes and restaurants nearby, many of which are open till late. Some small improvements that could be made. The bathroom needs a vent fan as it gets quite warm and can’t leave the window open overnight due to the main road outside. AC wasn’t on before we came into the room so it was quite warm. However overall a great hotel and we will definitely be staying here again!

Nice hotel for a night layover awaiting transfer to a resort. The staff were all lovely and helped me sort out the details of the transfer. The rooms are a bit worn down and there is peeling paint on the walls, but they have the basic amenities.

6/10 Good

I was in room 103 and the room itself was okay but you could hear everything in the hotel reception and restaurant from.1st thing to latecat night. I also found that most of the plug sockets didn't work because somebody had tripped the fuses but I was left to fix that on my own. Generally okay and may have been better in a different room but i wouldnt go back, sorry.

The staff were good and all but I was asked the second time at 2AM when i brought my wife whether i have already given my id card details and all. its funny because at checkin before they hand over the key all this is confirmed and i felt insulted because this question was asked. other than that stay was good all staff were friendly.

Muito bom para um estadia curta

bom hotel para uma estadia curta. O quarto ficava no primeiro andar, com janela virada para a cozinha e isso foi um incômodo, pois sentíamos um cheiro de cozinha subindo pela janela do banheiro. Esse foi o único ponto negativo. O quarto, apesar de pequeno, era confortável. Cama boa e ar condicionado funcionava bem. O hotel disponibiliza água gratuitamente nos quartos. usamos o transfer (pago à parte) para voltar ao aeroporto e funcionou super bem.

Puhdas hotelli.

Kaikki toimi kuten pitää. Puhdas huone ja hyvä lokaatio. Bussilla pääsee suoraan lentokentälle ja takaisin ja vielä moottoripyörä taksilla nopeasti ja halvalla. Harmi ettei kukaan hotellin henkilökunnasta osaa puhua suomea tai ruotsia.

Perfecto

Todo perfecto. Muy limpio, el personal muy amable y colaborador, con bar/restaurante y buena ubicación. Tanto si estás de paso como para varios días es perfecto. Traslados al aeropuerto. Como entrada o salida del país es muy conveniente porque se encuentra justo al principio de la isla, a menos de diez minutos del aeropuerto. Tiene cerca tiendas de comestibles, lugares para comer y a un minuto de la playa. La habitación muy limpia y cómoda. TV Plana con canales internacionales, camada cómoda y grande, baño completo con gel y champú, mucho espacio para guardar la ropa y pertenencias, nevera con minibar, café y te con hervidor y agua gratis, aire acondicionado y ventilador, cortinas opacas; en definitiva todo un acierto. Lo recomiendo y cuando vuelva a pasar por aquí repetiré seguro.

Todo correcto!

Por una noche o dos más que correcto. La bienvenida ha sido muy agradable, teniamos cena y desayuno incluydos que han sido completos. La habitación un pelin vieja pero todo funcionaba bien, estamos satisfechos. Está al lado de la playa, agradable para dar un paseo después de un largo viaje.
