What Guests Say About Their Stay

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!

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.

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.

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.
