What a week at Helios costs
Google Hotels asking price for each week of the next year. Cheapest month: December. Dearest: August.
Average per night, by month (2 adults)
Google Hotels asking prices, checked 16 Oct 2026: the lowest public rate per night, for 2 adults or 2 adults + 2 children (7 and 10). A week = 7 nights from Saturday. Town figures compare each hotel with itself across the year, then take the middle hotel, so winter closures do not skew them. School holidays: council-maintained schools (England: Kent and Birmingham; Scotland: Glasgow; Wales: Welsh Government). Package deals with flights price differently.
Reviews summary
What guests say
We read the latest 200 Google reviews, posted between 19 May and 13 Oct 2026, so this is a summer read. 172 gave five stars and 5 gave one or two. Staff come up most (105 reviews, 4.8), then food (80, 4.8), cleanliness (70, 4.7) and rooms (58, 4.7). Location (35 reviews, 4.9), the entertainment (13, 4.9) and the pool (41, 4.8) score highest. The weaker spots are value (9 reviews, 4.3) and a couple of complaints about leaking showers and the paid safe.
We count and summarise; we don't copy reviews. Averages are the star ratings of the reviews that mention each thing.
