Reviews of Ethereal Stay

Very convenient for our trip

The hotel had a convenient location, the rooms were nice, and the price was reasonable for what it offered.

What I didn’t like was that in the upper rooms there wasn’t good coverage to block the outside light, there was no soundproofing at all, sometimes there was no hot water, and both the tap and the shower were strange — you had to open them and wait a while before the water started running. In addition, at check-in we were unexpectedly asked to leave a €50 cash deposit per room, supposedly in case of damages, even though this was not mentioned anywhere in the booking information. We were not given any receipt or written confirmation, which felt unprofessional. After raising the issue with the manager, the money was returned, but the whole process created unnecessary stress.

Elegantly decorated room with several details thought of in a very convenient location. Serena in the reception was always polite and helpful.

Small room size is a drawback for people with lots of luggage.

Perfect value for money, exactly what is advertised, very clean and amazing people

Very central location and very clean

Amazing room, it was exactly as described, really clean and had everything we needed. The air conditioning was amazing, you couldn’t even hear it. The front desk lady was really polite, helpful and even airdropped me a detailed list of things to do in the island and how to do them (which boats to take, timetables ech). Location is also really good, will definitely stay there again next time we visit the island.

Everything was perfect. Thank you for the hospitality!

Ethereal Stay enjoys a convenient location near the center of Spetses, within easy walking distance to cafes, restaurants, and the pier. While the island itself prohibits cars, scooter rentals are essential if you want to explore the beaches. The room was clean and nicely decorated, and the receptionist was warm and welcoming.

The accommodation left much to be desired in terms of comfort and practicality. The room we stayed in was exceptionally small—more akin to student accommodation than a hotel. We struggled to fit our clothes, luggage, and shoes into the limited space, with no room left to move comfortably. A single tiny hanger for wet towels/clothes was located in the communal outdoor area. On one occasion, we tried to use it, only to find it already taken over by the couple in the next room. It’s hard to enjoy a private and carefree holiday when you find yourself squabbling over a shared hanger with strangers. The bathroom was poorly ventilated, with unpleasant odors permeating from the sink and no window to air it out. The shower was so cramped that the curtain constantly clung to your body while showering, and water splashed all over the bathroom floor, soaking the toilet area. Even worse, the hairdryer was located dangerously close to the shower, often damp—clearly a health and safety hazard. The most disappointing problem was the lack of privacy. Our ground-floor room offered zero privacy, with its door opening directly into a busy communal hallway that felt more like a hostel than a hotel. Noise was constant: you could hear conversations from neighboring rooms, o dragging furniture from other rooms, barking dogs, and constant construction drilling. In the early morning, around 8am, cleaning staff were chatting loudly on their phones outside the room, emptying air-conditioning runoff buckets and mopping loudly. There was no sound insulation, and loud voices at 1am were not uncommon. We had to keep our curtains closed at all times to maintain any sense of privacy, which left the already cramped room feeling even more claustrophobic. Photos on Booking.

Nice staff

Very small bathroom !!

Lovely room in quiet location.

No cleaning , housekeeping!!!!!!!!!

Great room just 5 mins from the port. Very helpful staff!

A small friendly budget hotel in a good location near to the shops, restaurants and bars. It suited our needs (and on this occasion our budget). Good value. We are likely to book this hotel again. There isn't a bar or a restaurant but we knew this in advance.

The room was very spacious.and clean.
