Reviews for Tourist Hotel
Review 1：Hotel was dated. Could not hang shower up.
Review 2：Cost, location - view from the bedroom and also a balcony. Very clean - lovely bedding and towels. Excellent choices for breakfast
Review 3：Can't think of anything.
Review 4：Great location - close to the main parts and we could walk everywhere but not too close to be bothered by noise and lots of people. Great room - I had a balcony/ water view room. Small but clean. The staff are the best!
Review 5：The staff were always friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed the sea view from our bedroom and watching the world go by. Even though our room was on the busy road we could shut the doors and block out the noise of the traffic. A wonderful holiday!
Review 6：Fantastic room with great balcony with sofa and table. Air on in the room was great but in the hallways it was extremely hot due to the extreme heat outside. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great apart from (for me) cold fried eggs and omelette but the rest of the choices were great.
Review 7：The desk officer did not know very well the transportation options
Review 8：-location -delicious greek breakfast -comfortable big bed -friendly staff(specially the young lady being in charge for the breakfast) -value for money
Review 9：The breakfast was not very good (for our taste) not a great variety!
Review 10：The location of the hotel is ideal. The staff extremely friendly and always around to help.
Review 11：No swimming pool but that's just being picky as I can't really think of any.
Review 12：The hotel was in a great location with the harbour in front. Here you can see the turtle in the morning. Great hotel, friendly staff, view from balcony was fantastic, located near shops and restaurants. Short drive in taxi or car to beaches. Lots of parking for free on the main road.
Review 13：Just minor things. Wasn't a fan of the hand held shower but my husband preferred it. A bit tricky taking a shower with the missing shower door (was advised that it was going to get fixed but due to the peak season, was taking awhile)
Review 14：Staff were amazing. They were always ready to help. Location was right in front of the water.
Review 15：On the first night,drunk Greeks fought with drunk British and they shouted so much,I had to warn them that I would call the police at 4 am.
Review 16：Location,the triple room(10) and the perfect breakfast
Review 17：Very friendly and attentive staff. Great location. Nice breakfast buffet with special delicacies. Many small details are handled with care and Love. This hotel is good at what it is doing. One feels safe and at home. After having visited the hotel for the first time myself, I know now why the ratings of previous visitors have been so high :).
Review 18：Great greek breakfast, not the typical "English" served normally. It's good to have something new to try :-) Very good location, at the heart of Argostoli. Clean and comfortable rooms.
Review 19：Felt this hotel was a little over priced but could only compare facilities later as this was our first stopover in Kefalonia. Two room apartment but had to leave inter-leading door open as there was only one aircon available.
Review 20：Best buffet breakfast in all of our stayovers in Greece. Breathtaking views from the balcony. Very conveniently located close to square, shopping and restaurants.
Review 21：Continuously having to log in to wifi, even with 'do not disturb' sign on people knocked on door.
Review 22：The view of the port area was quite nice and the location is good for restaurants and bars.
Review 23：Rooms were lovely but on the smallish side and there was no water in the rooms even though you can't drink the wAter . Staff were helpful and friendly .
Review 24：Room was small, but for a one night stay it was great.
Review 25：We had a great balcony view of Argostoli. Everything was great for a one night stay in the town. location is excellent. Great choice of Greek treats for breakfast. would recommend it.
Review 26：Friendly and accommodating staff who went the extra mile to make our stay pleasant. they spoke excellent English which was a additional bonus. the decoration of the hotel was charming. they had an outstanding breakfast buffet compared to other hotels that we stayed in in Greece.
Review 27：I cant say anything negative about the hotel itself, but the only thing I didnt like for myself was lication. It is on a busy street, with no beaches close by. If you are NOT planning to rent a car during your stay I would recommend to stay in Lassiti.
Review 28：Great stuff! Very helpful and caring. Fotiny on the reception provided all needed information about the island for us, helped book a tour, gladly answered all out question! She was very sweet. :) Also breakfast was very nice! Erica makes amazing fresh coffee in the morning, very good selection of breakfast items. Havent had such a good breakfast in any other hotel. Thank you ladies for taking such a good care of us!!! :) The room was clean and AC worked great !

Review 34：The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast & daily cleaning of room standards were higher then a 4 star hotel.

Review 44：Breakfast was great, staff lovely, great location for getting around, excellent wifi, family feel.
Review 45：If you won't close the window for the night the rubbish guys(i don't know how to call them, a truck wich takes the rubbish from the containers) will awake you early in the morning because they are to loud)))
Review 46：Very good location, very kind personal, very clean. Every morgning you will see the carretta-carretta turtles swiming in the harbor behind the hotel(two, or sometimes three of them). Breakfast is very good. One of the best we had in Greece. Thank you for a very good time we spent in your hotel!
Review 47：The only think was the bed wasn't very comfortable,I could feel the springs a little. I was in room 23 The shower head wasn't that great the first day or so but while we were out the shower head was changed to a new one and was fine then.
Review 48：Great location right on the harbour, we would walk out every morning to see the sea turtles being fed by the fishermen! Great staff all very helpful, the hotel was very clean no issues on that. The breakfast was the main reason I booked the hotel, great selection and all freshly made....the best coffee,honey,breads, pastries, homemade greek dishes....a lot of choice.
Review 49：Room was not like it presented on booking pictures...Many rooms don't have sea view and balcon...There is info that rooms are soundproof but it is not case ... quality of sleep was poor...
Review 50：Good location, but very noisy during the night; hotel is very close to main pedestrian zone, shops and restaurants...

Review 53：Size of room (kind of cramped for 2 people) "Sea view" was from the side street. (Had same problem with beachfront hotels in the USA) Some of the breakfast items (like the eggs) were cold

EXCELENT!!!!!!!!!!
Review 58：A very small room
Review 59：As it's next to the "busy" street along the harbour it's a bit noice if you want to sleep with an open terrace door but the view is excellent. Close to everything. Good beach 3 km away. Brakfast very good and staff excellent. Small and friendly.
Review 60：Excellent staff professional and friendly at the same time.Good location close to the shops and the central square.The room was clean and of good size. As for breakfast, it was fresh, balanced and of Greek style. Finally it was definitely value for money,and I would book again if to visit Kefallonia .
Review 61：Wifi was difficult to use, but still functional. It kicked us off every so often but it was every bit worth it.
Review 62：Rooms were clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. Was adjacent to a potentially noisy street, but we slept very well. Breakfast was nice, hotel staff very friendly. The staff happily made reservations for us at local restaurants off the beaten tourist path and for inner island ferries. Was two blocks away from a very quaint and narrow street full of restaurants and shops. Very enjoyable.
Review 63：Bathroom and shower could do with refurbishment - a bit grubby looking but ok for a couple of days stay.
Review 64：excellent value for money. nice room with small balcony overlooking the sea - windows kept back noise so we slept well although AC a bit noisy. Breakfast good, staff helpful and smiling. Fridge in room - would be nice to have kettle and tea making facilities but enjoyed and recommend. Location good for spotting turtles and shops/restaurants.
Review 65：We were very excited to get up in the morning, walk across the road and see huge turtles swimming next to the shoreline around the fishing boats moored there. The view from our room was lovely. The staff, although with limited English, were very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was delicious, quality food and the best we had in Europe. We enjoyed the island of Kefalonia a great deal and the little town of Argostoli was terrific. The hotel lacked a swimming pool but there are plenty of pretty beaches nearby.
Review 66：A power pole in the middle of our view - not very significant
Review 67：Great breakfast selection of local produce Very helpful staff Fast wifi Good location No street noise Very clean Well maintained Room rates
Review 68：We use this hotel as an overnight stop on our way to Ithaka. Arrived @ about 23hrs this time - still very welcoming. Rooms clean and overlook the sea. Plenty of choice for breakfast. You can park opposite the hotel. Great start to our holiday.
