Kefalonitis

Honest review, rather than a biased regular visitor one. Good points are the place is nice and clean with a good location and the hotel is well priced from a booking perspective. Pool is a good size and warm, bed is also comfortable. I was torn between giving rating of 2 or 3 but went with 3 as still enjoyed the holiday. Bad points , I will start with the room , toaster wouldn't work properly had to hold the lever down, cooking facilities are poor , one of the rings went swollen when it eventually got hot enough. Very dated , still had an old 80's style alarm clock hard wired into the wall, no plug sockets near the bed either. With it being a self catering holiday you would think you could have you own juice or snacks by the pool , but no, we got asked to move for having a little snack from McDonald's, felt like they wanted to get every bit of money they could from an overpriced bar, 2 euro 50 for blackcurrant squash with tap water , pints are far cheaper elsewhere, coffee came in a sachet that should be complimentary in your room. The thing that really annoyed me was after spending loads with them , on our checkout day I asked for towels so we could use the shower by the pool area where the toilets are even though they still hadn't changed the bulb in one of the shower rooms, they wanted 2 euro per towel , yes its not a lot of money but its the principal of it , just trying to squeeze every penny they can.

Almost finished a week stay and all is good. The apartments are great value for money and my studio room is spacious and very clean. Rooms cleaned daily expect Sun/Wed and linen changed every 3 days. It has kettle, microwave, cooker, fridge, a drinking tap water and all utensils needed if you want to cook and eat. Room 323 has no special view and a tiny balcony, but enough for me as a solo traveller. Staff are friendly, kind and helpful and the pool is clean and a great way to spend some time after a day of exploring. Bus station a couple of minutes walk away, and only a 35minute walk to the harbour, 10minutes walk to the tomb of the kings, and easy to get to Paphos old town too so the rooms are in a perfect location. I have a late flight and late checkout is available which is another good feature (although a bit too pricy as a solo traveller) I’ll hopefully access the shower rooms and enjoy every last minute of my holiday. I would recommend the Kefalonitis Hotel apartments for a relaxing, chilled out break. Thank you!
