Tourist Boutique Hotel

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.

My wife and I stayed for 4 days here and had a wonderful time. Whilst the rooms themselves are small, the wrap around balcony we had more than made up for this. The breakfasts were amazing and the staff really, really helpful. The hotel is located on the roadside with a view over to the sea and the traffic noise can be a little loud in the daytime. However, with so much to see and do in Kefalonia- you probably will not be around during the day. We loved Argostoli and loved the Tourist Boutique Hotel.

My husband and I stayed there for 4 nights. We were on the second floor in room 9. The rooms were smaller than expected, but we got used to that quickly and didn't spend much time inside anyway. The bathroom was large with robes & slippers, shampoo, body wash, razor, toothbrush & paste. There was also a shower cap, sewing kit, sleep mask and ear plugs. Probably one of the best equipped rooms I've ever stayed in. The balcony was extremely small. It held 2 chairs with our knees touching and no room for a small table. There was a small refrigerator in one room. Efficient A/C in both of the 2 bedrooms. The water pressure in the bathroom was strong. Towels were really soft and thick. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Rooms were cleaned each day. The breakfast options were very good although they were the same every day. The staff was friendly. If we returned to Argostoli, we would stay in this hotel again. It's conveniently located with a nice view and great value for the money, especially if you want 2 bedrooms. Caution - you can hear a lot of noise from the hallways and street.

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.

We had 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with a balcony overlooking the sea. Everything was spotless and the bathroom, which looked like it had recently been refurbished, contained all manner of toiletries, including a shaving kit. There were also robes and beach towels provided. The breakfast, which was included in the ridiculously reasonable price, was excellent. The staff were efficient and friendly and all in all it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this hotel!

We only stayed one night but we enjoyed our stay. The room was smart and comfortable. Air conditioning was a bit loud and not very efficient but did get there in the end. The bathroom was nice, with nice toiletries included, and the shower was powerful. We had a small balcony which had a side sea view, very nice to wake up to. Location is good - we found a number of restaurants very close to the hotel and ate well. We managed to park our hire car about 2 minutes walk from the hotel but it did require a couple of loops around, so save time for this and bring Google Maps. The room was quiet at night. The breakfast really stood out. Plenty of choices (many are bread or cake), but also some nice olives, juices, salad bits. All very good.
