Varia Hotels from S$138

"For a small island seperated from the mainland, this hotel exceeded my expectations. Clean, spacious rooms and the new, modern building made the difference. No mold or moldy smell in the rooms. Central AC cooled the rooms very quickly when needed. The bed was really comfortable. The hotel is situated in the middle of shopping and dining district, with many dining options nearby. Yet, when we closed the windows, we didn’t hear much noise. The cafes and bars remained open and bustling until 1-2am (summertime, I don’t know about winter). Friendly and helpful staff was also a plus. Breakfast wasn’t special, but good. I always appreciate eggs in the morning as they keep me full for longer. Both morning had a selection of eggs and cheese, olives, a few kinds of jams, some tomatoes and cucumbers. They also had local pastries for breakfast, and of course, yoghurt. "

"Perfect hotel! Very authentic and beautiful. The only negative I would give is the lighting and the steps in the room. "

"Great people. Beautiful island "

"Great place! Don’t look for anywhere else!"

"I arrived for a short trip to ISSA and it was a real memorable experience. the room super clean, very supportive check in and the front office team (all of them) are extremly friendly and helpful. I loved their special care and attention during my short visit. I'd always come back...."

"The sea view pool and the landscaping were so impressive and tranquil. Wish we could have stayed longer. The Molivos apartment was very nice and relaxing with 2 bedrooms , 2 bathrooms, 2 verandas, kitchen. LR, communal pool, 2 extra sunbeds on the grass under a tree, and parking. Perfect apartment for a family or friends. We are going again in July with our 21 and 23 year old children to have quality time. Marina and the staff were very friendly. There’s a little bar near the pool for drinks and toast which is convenient. "

"Very average but nice and quiet. Would rate it a 3 star hotel. Service very bland. No smiles. Dinner overpriced, took a very long time and was underwhelming. We were put at a table in the lobby because the restaurant was closed for an event. Room was clean. But very cheap low grade 1 star hotel amenities (shampoo soap etc) There was a single "free"nescafé coffee stick in the room (we are two people) and the creamer sticks were opened and empty. Called down to reception and asked for an information sheet with the WiFi info, room service numbers etc that they said was in the room, but wasn't. They said that we really didn't need the info on the sheet and didn't send one up. No one was rude in any way. But real 5 star service wasn't there. We booked the hotel based on the fact that there were indoor pools. Nowhere did we read that it was 12 euros per person, per half an hour until we got there. We looked at using the outdoor cold pool until we knealt down to feel the temperature of the water and noticed hundreds of little wormlike things lining the edge of the water. We realize we are the end of the season but if the pool is not going to be maintained, it should just be closed down. Breakfast was decent but they struggled to keep things stocked up like cutlery and other items. All in all.. Nice property and location but expect 3 star amenities and service. Absolutely not expected 5 star quality that they rate themselves. Looks impressive initially but in reality is just ok. "
