Selina Paros

Selina is a nice place, however it’s important to note that it is more hostel than hotel for your stay. The rooms are not the best, shower has rust and was so small, we could hardly move. Their common areas have a zen vibe with a nice aesthetic, pool area is pretty by the water but service is mid-range. At first the waitress at breakfast looked like you were bothering her to order. There were many times we felt that they didn’t go out of their way to help solve a problem. We loved Julia, at the front desk, she made it a point to connect with us and help whenever we needed and she was communicative in emails when we emailed prior to arrival. Overall we liked the common areas more than the room. It is away from the cities so make sure you rent a scooter, atv or car. I would say with renovations to the room and customer service tips, it could be a great hotel.

This hotel is not as described online. It is not a 4* hotel but it is a hostel. The rooms are outdated, broken showers & smell awful. Breakfast is ok but no proper coffee unless you pay €4.50 at the bar. We complained about our room and got moved to a slightly better one however we ended up checking out early and getting a refund for the remaining nights as it is not as described online. Management were helpful with giving us a refund but I wish they would state online that this is a hostel not a hotel as I have wasted a day of my holiday. Also please note when visiting that the main town in Paros is only accessible by car and the taxis charge €60 one way.

Selina Paros - Staff very nice, smiling and helpful. Unfortunately, the rooms smell musty, the same is with the mattresses on the beds and pillows. On the first day we slept in a room on the ground floor facing the sea (higher room standard, higher price). The bathroom was not very aesthetic, grout with black coating, rusty, leaking shower hose ... In the bathroom, water did not flow from the shower tray, it poured out through the grate in the floor outside, and water was leaking from the rusty shower hose .... Service fixed the fault, but there was still a problem with patency. There was a beautiful view from the room, but the awful musty smell from the mattress on the bed made it a sleepless night. The staff suggested a room with a sea view on the first floor, it was a little better, because after entering the room, the unpleasant smell was not so bad, but the mattress still had a musty smell ... The synthetic filling in the pillows under the head was compact and twisted. The bathroom was not very aesthetic, locally dark joints resembled mold or fungus ... water was still coming out of the grate in the bathroom floor ... The breakfasts were correct. Hotel staff is very nice - Julka, Maria, Giorgos. It was Maria who suggested the room upstairs. She was very caring and asked many times if she could help with anything else. Julka, Giorgos and the other staff are fantastic, young people, smiling and very kind, willing to help, caring. Swimming pool - it happened twice that it was impossible to use the morning swimming (around 8.00, 8.15) because at that time the pool cleaning was started, which lasted 0.5 hours. There is a bar in the hotel, music is played quite loudly from the speakers, which creates the atmosphere of a beach bar. In the evening, lights are turned on, which create a pleasant atmosphere.

Be careful to check their website - this is a hostel geared towards to the digital nomads and backpackers - not a hotel. Rated as a 4* property, this is certainly not true! They promote large parties and I would advise to check with them before booking. They have limited offerings for food except for their buffet breakfast (which is open most of the morning and has quite a variety to select from). And this hotel is not near anything other than the ferry to Antiparos! A cab to town is 38 euros one way. The most alarming part of staying at this property was the loud, club-type music that starts at 9 am and plays right through to midnight. When asked if it could be turned down, staff said management wants it loud. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you are looking to meet other nomads! But if you are looking for a nice place to hang out by the pool, walk into town for dinner and shopping, this is not the place for you.

Our stay at Selina Paros was wonderful. We enjoyed the food and drink (breakfast are amazing by the way), but the hosting was best. George, Christina, Stathis and Sakis was just amazing. Upon arrival, Christina warmly welcomed us and escorted us to our rooms. George we met later, sitting behind the reception counter. Our friendly conversations will be missed. Selina's rooms are spacious, and the beds are snug. The rooms open to a patio with a breathtaking view of the sea and lush lawns. Very well kept pool, vibey bar and seating area. Selina is a beautiful gem in Paros, that comes highly recommended.

The photos didn’t do enough justice, the place is even better IRL! Staff went above and beyond to make our staying awesome. Easy access by car, nearby parking lot, good breakfast and awesome pool! Looking forward to get back! As I mentioned to front desk clerk, the only thing that I’d point out is to get better photos, the place is awesome
