Stayed for 4 nights following our honeymoon on Ithaca. We wanted to be near the airport, so picked Argostoli - having never been to Kefalonia before (we stayed in Sami before our honeymoon and then came back to the Capital before our flight home). We picked this hotel for it's front location. Views did not disappoint but Greece was going through a heatwave on our holiday (38-44 degrees daily), so it was too hot to actually sit on our balcony. Rooms are quite small. Very clean though and toiletries/soaps etc and plentiful towels provided. Can't fault the staff - all very friendly - even the cleaning staff. Breakfast - our taxi driver said it was meant to be the best breakfast in Argostoli. Well......if you like sweet stuff and pastries then you will be ok. As a vegetarian and healthy eater, I struggled to be honest. I wanted Greek yoghurt and berries - there was very little fruit (only apples and pears in a bowl on the bar). My husband managed just fine with eggs, ham, omelettes etc. There are sweet waffles, cakes, biscuits, croissants,eggy bread, pastries galore. It's very heavy on the carbs. One bug bear of mine was the breakfast is presented beautifully - all looks rustic and farm style in little cupboards on on dressers and in kilner jars but this is NOT practical. I wanted granola - it was on the second shelf up on the dresser - there is nowhere to put the glass jar of granola on the dresser, luckily there was a vacant breakfast table and we used that and I had to get my husband to reach it off the shelf as it was too high. Also, I had to ask for a spoon - and when they are busy, you might be waiting a while for a spoon to eat your cereal. The same spoon does not fit in the yoghurt jars - as they decant the yoghurt into the tiniest jars (why is beyond me?) and the cereal spoon does not fit in the yoghurt jar - so you can't get the yoghurt out, so I had to use the coffee spoon. I don't understand why they can't just have a large pot of greek yoghurt out for everyone to help themselves in a normal bowl? I think for healthy options the breakfast could be improved - maybe some home made granola, some dark fruits? Also, presentation - whilst it looks lovely is not practical at all as there is no room to put anything as it's crammed with food. We did enjoy a couple cocktails on the terrace out by the road, this area seemed popular for lunches and evening snacks. Staff were always lovely. Location ideal for town, the harbour. We caught the ferry to Luxouri EUR3,00 per person - bargain. To sum up - small rooms, very clean and lovely staff. We wouldn't return to Argostoli - it's just not our thing (too busy) but if you are looking for a busy, central hotel with a sea view in town then it might be worth a shout.

This is a good value tourist hotel. Good location on the seafront and near to all the shops, bars and restaurants. Lovely Seaview room, friendly staff and great local Greek breakfast. Definitely go there again.
