Bella Santorini

Nice time at the hotel. The rooms were really clean and staff were friendly. A walk into the nearest village from the hotel but if you want to see around the island would definitely recommend hiring a car. There isn't a huge amount to do in the closet village. Also asked for tourist tax during checkout. When I looked it up it said 3 Euro per person per night which would have been 24 Euro for 2 for 4 nights. Hotel insisted that I had to pay cash for tourist tax, no card payments, which I find a bit odd 🤔. LOVED Santorini ❤️

Non una 4 stelle. Hotel classificato 4 stella ma se non considerata la piscina sarebbe da 2 stelle. Abbiamo avuto una camera quadrupla con camera matrimoniale senza finestra ed eravamo sotto la cucina dell’albergo e di fianco al locale lavanderia. Svegli presto disturbati dalle attività di preparazione della colazione. Colazione nella media. Comodità spiaggia vicina a piedi.

Bella Santorini is being marketed as a 4 and some a 3 star star establishment but this it clearly a false representation of the hotel its clearly a 2 star at a push! The hotel is in need of a major renovation, most of the light fittings were loose and roughly painted. The door to the bathroom was heavy water damaged which meant that the door could not be closed whilst using the bathroom, also the shower head with extremely wobbly and was worried that it might actually fall down. The pool was an let down and quite frankly dangerous there was numerous pools tiles missing which was just swept to the side of the pool and had to be careful that no one cut themselves. Some of the sun loungers were ripped and there was not enough sun loungers if the hotel had more than 12 guests. There was also no way of getting shade as the sun shades were fixed to the floor and did not provide any shade. On the website it mentions and the pool and its jacuzzi but there is no jacuzzi. The breakfast was extremely disappointing and every day during the week we stayed at Bella Santorini it was the same. All the food was unlabeled so we have no idea of what it actually was, it was all uncovered which led to flies being on the food. The selection was extremely poor and not what I would expect from a 4, or 3 star hotel. Most of the food was cold and the hot food was uncovered and rarely replenished. Travelling with someone who has a nut allergy it was extremely dangerous not knowing if the food contained any nuts. The hotel room was soleless and the website images and description are utterly misleading it states that each room has a bath which the two rooms which we had did not have a bath. It also mentioned that all the rooms are supplied with tea and coffee but during the week stay no such tea and coffee was ever placed into the bedrooms. The website also states that each room has a safety deposit box which whilst is true one room they had lost the key so was unable to use the safety deposit box. The room was not cleaned every day and when we highlighted this to reception we were just given clean towels. We also asked numerous times for shampoo but this was never delivered, also on the website it states that each room has a mini bar but again there was no actual mini bar in each room just a fridge. There was no internet access unless you were by the pool and in the rooms we were unable to gain access to the wifi. When we mentioned our concerns to the hotel staff in regards to the pool we were advised that it is because the kids pick the pool tiles off but this is clearly a case of neglect. The hotel staff stated that they upgraded one room to a sea view room but you could hardly see the sea view as it was blocked by a building and would need binoculars to actually see the sea view. I did not find the hotel staff to be amazing as per all the reviews it was quite the opposite actually. There are much better quality hotels that are in the area so would avoid this
