Kefalonia Grand

Agree with the TA review summary, very well / centrally located, very clean and very friendly service by all staff. Our room ( a superior sea view ) had the essential amenities, but no mini bar, no face clothes or tissues. Air conditioning was very good as was their buffet breakfast. The staff on reception, especially Olga, were very good in helping us organise a private day tour in air conditioned minibus, which was exceptionally good. We did not have dinner here….preferred the outdoor restaurants on the water ( up the street ) or in the mall behind the the hotel. The room, the balcony & the bathroom are all very small for a superior classified room. Only enough room for 1 chair in a room for 2 people. Being 188cm tall, it was also very hard for me to use the toilet & the shower. This is a nice modern hotel …. Plenty of restaurants within 5 - 10 minute stroll. Most boat hires depart across the road….. but the superior classified room is over rated & expensive for what you get when compared to other Greek boutique / 4-5 star hotels Would stay here again, mainly for the location & friendly service.

I can only review my personal experience, the kefalonia grand is advertised as a 4 star hotel, i was flying solo so opted for a double room which i paid extra for a lateral sea view, on arrival i was greeted at reception and immediately asked for an extra 100 euros for my 10 night stay, I had to wait and hour until I could get to my room, I was briefly shown around and told i get a free small bottle of water per day, On closer inspection the room was bland, double bed, wonky tv, shower room and wardrobe which contained a tiny fridge and safe, light fittings were in disrepair and the shower room was disgusting, paint peeling of the ceiling and floor, mold stains in the shower and toilet, no considering this was supposed to be a 4 star grand luxury boutique hotel i expected a lot better, tea and coffee making facilities at least, Having complained to the receptionist I was told nothing else similar was available so I contacted the operator who just wasn't interested, The breakfast was fantastic as were the staff but I never dined there as a protest, Argostoli is a beautiful place but the hotel ruined it for me , the room had an air-conditioning unit but after 3 days I developed a raging cough and cold which further compounded my misery, having returned home i contacted the operator who is still investigating, the pictures show the issues and also the fact that the hotel isn't quite finished.

Paid extra £320.00 for a “superior” double room with a sea view needn t have bothered as this is the same as the double room no difference as informed by receptionist . We went half board , the breakfast was minimal and poor choice and dinner was even worse had very few choices so for a seven night stay very repetative and really poor quality , after complaining to jet 2 rep were informed it was an ongoing issue with this hotel they were told to sort out the half board menu immediately as it was not acceptable so the next day two more dishes were added, the most basic options possible . We paid £2900.00 for a 4 * experience definately did not get it , if you enjoy getting ripped off and eating very little this is the hotel for you . They make a big deal out of giving you 2 free bottles of water every day which cost 25c in the shop next door you will be constantly watched by the waiters making you feel very uncomfortable , the toilets downstairs have a glass door with a half inch gap running down the side ! Have stayed in alot of 4* hotels and this is definately at the top for the worst definately not 4*. Do not understand the good ratings at all .

We just returned from a week-long stay at The Kefalonia Grand and can’t say enough nice things about it! It’s in a great location. It’s across the street from the palm tree-lined harbor where you can go for a stroll or take pictures of the Loggerhead Sea Turtles. You can walk to many shops and restaurants as well as the ferry. They offer a full buffet breakfast as well as lunch, dinner & a full bar. Olga & Marika (concierge) are very helpful with booking excursions, renting a car or calling a taxi. Our "Superior Double Room with Seaview" had a small balcony with 2 chairs and a table.

The Kefalonia Grand is situated on the front of Argostoli harbour. It’s location is ideal for all the amenities. The bus station and the ferries are in easy walking distance. My wife and I had a great time staying their. The balcony sea view rooms are a good size and highly recommend. They are cleaned every day and the towels are changed along with your dressing gowns for you comfit. The pillows are superb The breakfast provided had a large variety of food on offer, along with a hot food menu of good quality. The staff at the hotel are fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and they always had welcoming smiles. Highly recommended. Ged & Cathy Latham.

Had a fantastic stay here, lovely comfy beds and fluffy pillows, spotlessly clean, great selection of hot and cold food for breakfast, the staff are all lovely and helpful. Special shout out to Marika who was very helpful on our arrival. The hotel is in an ideal place, a minutes walk to the turtles and 2 minutes to the main square and shops. Highly recommended and we will return.
