Review 8：Excellent staff helpful clean and cleaned up fast Great terasse beautiful light in rhe morning

Review 9：Probably very noisy in summer.

Review 10：Staff were friendly; hotel clean; underground car park useful (if booked) great view from 5th floor terrace (bar/dining area).

Review 11：We had to park the car on the road as we were told the parking was full. (One of the reason we booked here was becouse of the parking). One (and I have to say only the one!) male waiter from the terrace breakfast area was quite rude. Pity, as the rest of staff that was very polite and helpful.

Review 12：Good position, comfortable bed, clean room and good breakfast.

Review 13：There is some sort of problem with ants. Not that many but occasionally 1-2 would appear.

Review 14：Location, room view, comfortable beds, breakfast. All perfect! The staff were all very polite. Loved it.

Review 15：I would have preferred a queen or king size bed instead of two singles pressed together.

Review 16：Clean hotel with spacious rooms and balcony. Beautiful view of the waterfront Breakfast was great, lots of options.

Review 17：The place needs some updating. The lobby isn't very inviting and when you walk in you would not think four stars. The entire hotel seems outdated.

Review 18：The staff at the front desk was really nice and helpful. The bed was super comfortable and that is one of the most important things. The view from the breakfast room was nice. Quite room!

Review 19：Excellent location, rooms furnished with all amenities, clean and comfortable bathrooms, personnel gentle and professional, underground parking upon request.

Review 20：Would have liked fresh orange juice at the breakfast buffet - but that's being picky!

Review 21：Cool and comfortable after a long hot journey. Excellent air-condition! Roof top restaurant has wonderful views of the Messian Bay. The staff are very friendly.

Review 22：We had ants in the room. The air condition was good but was loud. We stayed on the fifth floor below the restaurant and the sound from the chairs in the restaurant was quite loud. Otherwise we didn't hear a sound.

Review 23：Our room was very big and featured two very big balconys with sea view as well.

Review 24：Air conditioner dripping water all night. Had to collect in bucket. When mentioned in morning on checkout as we didn't sleep that night no discount was given at all to room. Reception quiet outdated..

Review 25：Poor WiFi. No free water, must buy water. No beach towels.No pool. Free off street parking hard to find. Only 10 paking_spaces must prebooked at time of reservation. Limited tourist information. Unhelpful staff.

Review 26：Great location, good breakfast on rooftop overlooking sea with good range of coffees.clean room.

Review 27：We stayed in a Family room, this is fantastic hotel on the beach front. Rooms were clean, breakfast everyday was fantastic with a great view of the beach. Family room also has a sofa bed which can accomadate two extra children to share. Thoroughly reccomend this hotel.

Review 28：Brilliant beach front location. Rooms are superb. Bed was super comfy. The Loft Bar and Restaurant on the 5th Floor offer a truly magnificent view of the whole of Kalamata bay and mountains. Excellent food and bar menu. Really was a brilliant choice. Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return. A short distance from the cosmopolitan centre of Kalamata which is excellent for shopping, cafes, restaurants.

Review 29：Not possible to get the Wifi in the room. Too far away from router? Bathtub, hmm..., not the best. Maybe little too close to fun park

Review 30：We had perfect good room on 4'th floor, with balcony around the corner. Try to be on the 4'th floor, since then you'll get the best overview. Good with the top roof bar.

Review 31：The hotel has a fantastic view! Our room was on the corner. The roof top bar is a must to go to during the day and night. The room was spacious and well appointed,. We enjoyed our stay.

Review 32：Evening meal rather excessively huge portion of salmon, could have explained to us that one was enough for two people and we would have shared it. The chocolate mousse was disappointing as I was expecting something light and it was a heavy chocolate pud. From our bedroom on fourth floor sometimes late night scraping of furniture being moved above in restaurant. A pity the lovely restaurant veranda shade automatically retracts in a breeze so then no shade. Odd to put salt in the pepper pots and vice versa.

Review 33：A calm, comfortable hotel with excellent chambermaid and reception staff. Overall we loved it.

Review 34：Terrible wi-fi. Slow speed (less than 1Mbps). Many, many connection errors on MBP and iPads not able to connect with password errors even if password was correct. If you need internet for anything other than emails, do not stay here.

Review 35：Nice view from the balcony. Great location. Nice terrace area for the bar and dining.

Review 36：Outside the hotel there was a play area with cafe bars. In the evening there was a very noisy from there. Along with the traffic noise, it was impossible to sit on the balcony

Review 37：The hotel was clean and nice with good rooms. But what was best about the hotel was the breakfast which was very good and was served up on the rooftop terrace which we appreciated very much. It was wonderful to sit even in the evening to take a sunset drink!

Review 38：Nothing

Review 39：Location is very good - close to the beach and about 15 minute walk to 'historical centre' with good restaurants and bars. 15 minute drive from Kalamata airport. Easy street parking near to hotel. Lovely roof terrace/bar with great views of the bay.

Review 40：The wi-fi does not work. It gives you the basic connection but nothing downloads. You may get a site to download momentarily and then the connection is lost. I complained several times but they offered no solution and no apologies. For someone who needs wi-fi, this is simply not the place to stay.

Review 41：Excellent location in the city centre, right on the waterfront. Great view from the roof-garden restaurant.

Review 42：As we booked a Junior Suite we were surprised to find the room offered was really a large Deluxe room with a balcony. Not happy with this we told the management who offered, with a surcharge a Family room. With two rooms, in my view this was a Junior Suite. Overall, I would recommend the hotel

Review 43：Centrally located, the Pharae Palace was ideal for our week’s holiday in Kalamata. The hotel was clean and staff were efficient with rooms cleaned promptly. Breakfast selection was good and the balcony view spectacular

Review 44：Poor Internet connection, and a slightly smelly bathroom,coming from the drains

Review 45：Sad view,good balcony,although the thunderstorms one night made it impossible to use!

Review 46：We love the fifth floor terrace overlooking the sea where breakfast is served, and where you can also go in the evening for drinks. The views are stunning by day and night. We have stayed here for the last three years.

Review 47：The wifi was virtually non-existent. We spoke to the manager about it. Told him everything was excellent except the wifi. Hopefully he will do something about it.

Review 48：The hotel is across the street from the sea in a great location surrounded by restaurants and bars.

Review 49：Excellent property, very elegantly decorated, great services in the rooms. VERY comfortable beds. Excellent variety in the breakfast buffet. Great location.

Review 50：Bit overpriced

Review 51：Excellent location, although the rooms facing the street could be noisy. The staff is amazing. The view from the roof top bar excellent. You become speechless.

Review 52：You can hear conversations from other rooms IF they speak loudly.

Review 53：Polite staff Very clean Breakfast based upon local products Very nice view to the sea

Review 54：The room was quiet hot, even though I shut down the air condition. The bathroom was very clean, but I think it needs to be renovated a little bit.

Review 55：Our room was spacious and with a great view to the sea. The breakfast was also very nice with a great variety of food to choose and the view from the loft was excellent. The bed was very big and comfortable. The staff was very kind and helpful. The location of the hotel is also very convenient.

Review 56：Shower area slightly on the small size, but bathroom spotlessly clean.

Review 57：Nice location, big room, comfortable bed, breakfast excellent and the location of the restaurant (on the roof) is fantastic!

Review 58：The staff did not speak much english and there was no info on what the best things to do in kalamata were. Most hotels have all kinds of maps and we couldn't find anything there

Review 59：We had a junior suite and the balcony was huge and was on a corner so we had an amazing view ( about 260)! The breakfast was included and was fantastic! Lots of foods to choose from including the best olives of course! They had an espresso machine so they would bring delicious coffees! The free wi fi had great speed!

Review 60：cooling non existent- couldn't turn on cooling even though it was warm outside- couldn't sleep for two nights. also was given a smoers room and we were non- smokers.

Review 61：staff,service, breakfast- staff was excellent, very helpful and courteous- a great asset!

Review 62：sometime the ramp for baby strollers and wheel chairs was blocked and although the receptionist on duty was informed, no action was taken to prevent the occurrence of the incident again smoking was permitted in the front line of tables at the roof garden spoiling the overall image of the specific place - heaters at the balcony could be provided for smokers

Review 63：location next to the beach - make sure you ask for a room with sea view at the 3rd and 4th floor roof garden is the big difference compared to other hotels in the area - you can spend hours there either having a breakfast, a coffee, a good read or even a drink rooms where quite modern with very good noise and weather isolation very professional staff at the roof garden doing their best to make sure that you have been served

Review 64：Even though our room was non- smoking the surrounding rooms and hotel generally had smokers stinking up this hotel. Likely would not stay there again. Greece needs to wake up about allowing smoking in hotels and public eating places.

Review 65：Breakfast on top floor was very scenic.

Review 66：nothing significant ...woken up twice by couple of motor-cyclists using water-front road as a race-track (but I'm nit-picking really)!

Review 67：Good position, spacious room, cleanliness, helpful staff, roof-top restaurant/bar; excellent breakfast.

Review 68：Double bedroom a bit small (esp. shower), little space for clothes etc.; Street is somewhat noisy, but at least windows are fairly tight

Review 69：Clean and stylish; Nice view on the seaside

Review 70：Great staff and service. extreemly curtious. roof top dining was exeptional as was the buffet breakfast. this hotel was more comfortable and up to date rooms than the typical hotels in Kalamata and Greece.

Review 71：The structure, staff, location. It is always possible to me finding improvement area in the hotels,but this was the PERFECT STAY. Take a room with view to the sea.

Review 72：In common with most Greek hotels, there was a well stocked mini fridge but no tea/coffee making facility - and I do like to have a kettle!! Obviously, I had my own... We also wish that there was a ban on smoking: wherever we sat on the roof for breakfast, invariably someone would light up at a nearby table. Why should we have to sit indoors in order to avoid this filthy habit?

Review 73：Excellent breakfast served on the roof with great views over the sea. Very comfortable room. Prompt service. Double glazing ensured that it was quiet - outside it was quite lively at night! Quite a long walk into the city centre, but there's a bus just outside the hotel, €1,20. You're spoiled for choice for restaurants and snack bars all along the sea front right outside + they have free loungers/parasols on the beach! Probably the best hotel I've stayed in in Greece.

Review 74：The air conditioning was BAD!! At one point in the night it was over 28C with air conditioning set at 16C. The whole hotel felt very warm throughout. The staff didn't go out of their way to be helpful.

Review 75：The bed was very comfortable and the room was big, well decorated and great location.

Review 76：It was a tad more expensive than I'd have chosen if I were paying out of pocket.

Review 77：The room was really very nice, with lots of space, and very clean. It was also handicapped accessible; I'm not used to seeing that in Greece, and I'm impressed that things are starting to move in that direction. And the breakfast buffet was lovely.

Review 78：Noisy air con

Review 79：Friendly staff which hasn't changed since we were last there. Love the addition of the roof top restaurant/bar compfy beds lovely balcony and location.

Review 80：-Personnal, especially a woman (I dont know the name) were not helpful and friendly -Rooms were very dirty. There were many women hair on the rooms' floor and we called the receptionist to clean the room again but they didnt help us, we had to clean all hairs in my holiday. -Also bathroom was very dirty too. -Wifi connection was bad, it was hard to use internet in this hotel

Review 81：-Location was good

Review 82：The room had a smell coming from the bathroom every now and then. The price through booking was higher in contrast to the price given in the reception. The room was way smaller than the photos published in the website for the same category of rooms i booked. In order to enter and leave the parking place we had to move to reception every single time so they give us a remote control to open the garage door.

Review 83：Nice breakfast!

Review 84：Small bathroom with no much lights.No swimming pool.

Review 85：Very nice breakfast. Good mattress for the beds. Nice views to the sea and next to all bars and cafes.

Review 86：The room was fantastic and the location was perfect. The view from the Loft restaurant was spectacular abc the balcony with its exceptional view was to die for. I would highly recommend this hotel for any kind of travelling to Kalamata.

Review 87：Άριστη τοποθεσία, κοντά στην πόλη και δίπλα στην θάλασσα, 3 λεπτά με τα πόδια ως την μη οργανωμένη ή 10 λεπτά ως την οργανωμένη παραλία. Εξυπηρετικό και ευγενικό προσωπικό. Πεντακάθαρα και άνετα δωμάτια πρόσφατα ανακαινισμένα. Εκπληκτικό roof garden. Ο διευθυντής του ξενοδοχείου πολύ κοντά στους πελάτες του. Πολύ καλή σχέση τιμής - ποιότητας (είχαμε πετύχει μια καλή προσφορά βέβαια) Everything is perfect about this hotel. It's close to the town, and near the beach. Clean and comfortable rooms. The staff did everything he could for us to have a pleasant stay. You should visit the roof garden.

Review 88：There was nobody to help with the luggage. No fresh juice of any kind at the buffet.

Review 89：Clean, quiet spacious room with small balcony. Central location. Sea view. ,

Review 90：Comfortable, spacious & elegant room. Nice roof terrace with lovely view on Kalamata bay. Good breakfast buffet (can be taken on roof terrace). Located at seafront of Kalamata.

Review 91：Location, cleanliness, food, drink, the views from the balcony/5th floor restaurant, staff, comfy bed, price, breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Review 92：Staff, location, food especially breakfast at The Loft, cleanliness, room size. This is possibly the best situated hotel in the beach/ paralia precinct of Kalamata.

Review 93：Breakfast a bit more interesting and faster to refill. Undersheet very squeeky as you lay on the bed so we needed to take it off as it was very annoying

Review 94：The staff was kind. The beds very comfortable. Rooms very clean. Wifi coverage.

Review 95：wifi internet, toilet was smelling bad, sink was stuck, some ants in the room, the behaviour of the staff was strictly profesional without willingness to help

Review 96：view

Review 97：The room was small; we could barely move. The third bed was an armchair very uncomfortable and at the end of our stay my husband had a sharp pain in his back and coulnd not sleep at all. The position of the hotel is close to the harbour and we had to walk a little further to find a good piece of beach to sunbath. As for the price- we had much better rooms and accomodations in other European cities for less than 120 euros as we paid for a night in here. We spent 8 nights but I would never return.

Review 98：The staff is ok. Also the breakfast. The restaurant has a good view to the sea shore.

Review 99：Parking can be somehow difficult if the parking opposite the hotel is full,especialy during weekends.

Review 100：Very nice hotel,in front of the sea,in the centre of Kalamata. Everything was very nice and very good value for money.

Review 101：The staff at breakfast were very unfriendly. Parking was on street and a bit difficult especially late at night. The bathroom had a shower over a tub which was very narrow.

Review 102：Reception staff were very welcoming and efficient. The king size bed and comfortable pillows. Breakfast was good and cuppoccinos were included. Good sized room with a sitting area. Breakfast room on rooftop overlooking harbour. Across the road from beach. Quite room even though there was a night club across the road. Fluffy towels, plenty of water pressure and light in bathroom.

Review 103：The lobby area needs a face lift and may be off putting but once you pass that it's all great. Parking can be a problem if you don't book in advance but can find street parking before 5pm each day

Review 104：The rooms were great, spacious clean and air conditioning with huge balconies especially the family room. Wifi worked well. Breakfast on the top floor had great panoramic view of kalamata.

Review 105：Service little slow at peak breakfast times. Wifi sluggish too.

Review 106：Loft terrace roof top breakfast. Magnificent view. Comfortable beds. Good breakfast variety. Best hot chocolate! Central location. Value for money. Extensive terrace verandah for suite rooms. Couple of sun loungers would have been great.

Review 107：We where surprised that the hotel allowed smoking at the terrace when the guests was eating the breakfast / dinner. It was disgusting to eat brekafast among the smokers. The haridryer was redicolous.

Review 108：we got a supernice room with a fantastic view to the beach / sea. The breakfast was served at the topfloor / terrace and was very nice. The AC was working perfect. Very good location and quitet rooms. The Wifi was woriking well. Very nice, helpfull and polite english speaking staff

Review 109：Ask for a sea facing room, the back view is just roofs and AC units!

Review 110：Located on the seafront, recently renovated to a high standard, clean & comfortable, great for a base to explore the city & beyond.

Review 111：I will never forget the view from our window the moment i woke up!!! Excellent breakfast and view also from the 5th floor!!!!! Safe parking area close. Thank you!

Review 112：Children luna park located oposite the street Noisy traffic in street, windows have to be closed, A/C need to be used (controled separately for each room).

Review 113：Spacy rooms and bathrooms Various breakfast bufet Wifi in the rooms Located in the city centre Very nice staff

Review 114：The use of the balcony for a quiet read of an evening was very restricting unless you were prepared for the noise and fumes of the none stop traffic below.

Review 115：The hotel staff were always helpful and friendly. Our junior suite was spacious and the double glazing more than adequate to keep out the nightly traffic noise. The roof top terrace with it's panoramic views was a good place to start your day and the buffet breakfast catered for your every need. The hotel was clean and on the whole well presented.

Review 116：Centrally located walking distance to all the beach front tavernas and close to bathing areas. Lovely view from the roof top. Great breakfast and super staff all round. The room was comfortable and spacious.
