Newcastle Studios by Estia

This hotel is very clean. However, there is no attempt to encourage guests to enjoy themselves. There was no evening events such as a BBQ or Greek night. Guests were frequently told off for splashing! - taking hotel towels to sunbeds, eating small snacks at the pool, petting the animals etc. When you witness this it makes you feel unwelcome and a nuisance. There are so many owner’s family there and using the pool that guest felt like intruders. You will also need to take toilet roll as it is not provided, never known this before in Greece. Jet2 bus transfer will not take you to the hotel door but will drop you 10 minutes walk away and you will have to walk uphill with your cases, not easy in the middle of the night when you don’t know where you are! There are lots of cats at the hotel. Passports are taken from you until you leave and tourist tax is demanded then. I would not recommend.

when we first arrived late at night at the establishment, we were greeted by an unfriendly and intimidating security guard who showed us to our room. We were let inside and our passports were taken off us immediately and we were asked if we wanted aircon (which is an essential in Greece) which we were told was €60 upfront. The hotel is clean however the bed sheets were stained. The shower is very small, and is not very ideal. additionally the lock to our room was ridiculously stiff and we had to ask staff throughout our stay to help us with the lock. By the third night me and my friend were wanting to leave as we had had enough with the rude encounters from staff - not friendly at all - we are 2 friendly girls who have smiled to all the staff and been friendly throughout the stay. This day we’d had enough as when we went to ask for more toilet roll, as we were only given half a roll to begin with, we were told it is self catering and we have to buy our own. This I find was odd as we were told off for eating our own snacks by the pool. The food is alright and cheap as well as the drinks however it is nothing special. Overall, I definitely wouldn’t stay again.

5 of us stayed here and to sum it up quickly it was our worst ever holiday. The staff were useless horrible and rude with the exception of a lovely women behind the bar. The owner was rude and only seemed to be around when collecting money from people. The security man was there to make us feel safe but in fact did the opposite. We weren’t allowed to go on our balcony after 12 even though we were quiet. He became very agressive when 1 of us went into another friends room and used his master key to come in when he wanted. Air con isn’t a standard here apparently because we had to pay 60 euros for it and we all became very ill. I would never ever return and advise anyone looking to have a bit of a fun holiday don’t bother with this place because it’s run by a bunch of amateurs.

We arrived at the hotel at late night to be greeted by the rudest person I have ever met, for him to set ground rules on the first night of no going on your balcony after 11pm and for silence otherwise he would turn extremely aggressive and shout and swear, we had to pay for air con which we were not told about and made me personally and the other 4 people extremely ill, and when asking for our passports back which they kept they wanted 100 euro deposit, the management behind this hotel is shambles as the owners are extremely rude and aggressive when responding to simple questions only good think I can say about the whole experience was the weather, by far the worst place I have ever stayed in my entire life.

We got to our hotel on the first night where we were met by the aggressive security guard. He told us we had to give our passports over for the whole holiday and had to pay 100 euros to get it back at the end. We went up to our room which was like a sauna as it had no air con at the time. After we paid 30 quid for 3 nights of air con all 5 of us woke up with a bad throat from it. It’s not a party resort like it says as we were kicked off our own balcony at 11 o clock. The staff were very rude and aggressive, and the owners are both mental. Desperate for your money as we were charged 50 euro for a chair that was already broken. We had to pay for our own toilet roll as we were only given half of 1 and the toilet wouldn’t flush. We were also not allowed to put toilet roll in the toilet by the pool and had to bin it. It was very dirty with random dogs and cats just walking into the hotel and drinking the pool water, and our rooms were only cleaned once while we were there with the cleaners walking in on us multiple times.

Belated review , what a great place,peaceful location spotless everywhere , cleanest I've ever stayed, lovely family n staff nowt too much trouble, food n drink great prices, c'mon September lol xx Andy, Wakefield stayed fr 5th May 2024 thank you xx

Newcastle Studios was in a very good location. The room was comfortable with all required facilities. Staff were always pleasant and obliging. I enjoyed a really great stay there

Really lovely place that was exceptionally clean throughout. Room was cleaned everyday and new towels given every few days. Pool area was beautiful! Lovely staff and the security man was really lovely too! Only let down was the lack of toilet roll, one roll for 7 nights is a bit thin, and the nitrous oxide balloons being sold from behind the bar were rather odd and a little concerning. However, a lovely clean place that I would probably return to.

I stayed here with a group of 10 boys , not a hard group to handle, but the staff here were just immense , couldn’t have made our stay more perfect if they tried. So very lovely and friendly , they helped show us the hot spots to visit and great places to eat great food. If your looking for somewhere to relax and just have a great time all round in the sun , I couldn’t name a better place to do it, Newcastle studios you rock!
