Starlight Hotel
(Hotels in Skala)
 | |
Hi, me and my other half have found a reasonable deal to stay at the Starlight hotel at the end of august and thought it might be a bit nicer than the s/c we stayed in last yr.. Just wondered if anyone had been more recently than 2006 incase things have changed? Also, any idea if the rooms vary, i.e. are the twin rooms bigger than the double rooms? The reviews make it sound like the hotel isn't too far from everthing but olympic make it sound further than other accomodation, did anyone find the walk to the beach etc a problem in the heat??Would really appreciate any advice or pictures! thanks, Gabby  | |

My girlfriend and I have just returned from a wonderful week's stay in Scala. We were supposed to stay at the Ocean View Hotel but when we arrived we found that we had been allocated a room in the basement which we were really upset with as we had named accomodation and had requested a high floor with a balcony. The rep told us that there was room at the Starlight so we went straight down there to see if we could stay there. We were greeted by Rita who was very helpful and offered to ring the rep for us. We were charged an extra 12 euros a night by Olympic Holidays. We weren't charged for the fridge in the room, we had a balcony with a sea view and breakfast consisted of fresh crossients, rolls and either little homemade pastries or biscuits with fresh coffee and juice every morning. Delicious!! The hotel was spotless and Rita was a charming hostess. We would definately stay there again. Scala is a lovely part of Kefalonia with lots of good restaurants, fab beaches while still retaining lots of traditional Greek charm. Fantastico!!! | ||||||||||

| Spotlessly clean but beware everything else in the hotel you pay extra for. Breakfast included in your holiday package is two slices of bread. If you want two poached eggs its 5.50 euro extra! It costs you 21.00 euro to have your fridge switched on for a week and the same for a safety deposit box. Also if you have wine it is not the advertised 1.50 euro but 2.50 euro (big measures says rita ha!). Dont run a tab you get stung when you leave!!! NEIL ROBINSON (October 02, 2002) | ||||||||||

| For those who know the Starlight Hotel, Rita is now booking independently having been let down at the start of the season by her former tour operator. This left her with no time to find an alternative company so please contact the hotel directly for the time being. You can find their details on clickhere.gr. Direct flights are available with charter companies at good rates if you look about. For those who don't know the Starlight it is in an excellent location, convenient for all that Skala has to offer and with the added bonus of being very peaceful. You will find a friendly welcome and a spotless hotel. We have enjoyed staying at the Starlight for several years and look forward to many more visits. Although booking independently involves a little more work, we are sure it will be worth your while!! Watch this space for more info for 2004/5. | ||||||||||

| I am a diabetic and I agree with my brother, but he forgot the bar, no diet coke or lemonade, and the tonic for his gin left a lot to be desired so we only used the bar once in two weeks | ||||||||||

| Fabulous little hotel. Very friendly and very very clean. Perfect location within short walking distance of all you want. No pool but not a problem, just head for the fantastic Pikiona pool bar down and to the left along the beach. We did have a very noisy fridge in our room so beware!! | ||||||||||

| My boyfriend and I just got back from Skala and we loved it. Not too touristy, lovely restaurants and the weather was wonderful. The Starlight was a great hotel to stay at, 5 minutes from the main street a couple more minutes on to the beach but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Rita was very friendly and always ready to have a chat with you. The entire hotel was extremely clean and well maintained, the beds made and bins emptied every day. I would definitely recommend staying there. In answer to the question about use of other hotel's pools, usually there will be a sign outside the hotel stating visitors welcome. | ||||||||||
