Thalassa Boutique Hotel Kefalonia

The rooms on the website look stunning yet when you arrive you realise they are only a cover for what the rooms really are like. Overpriced for what you get. The hotel is clean and a great location. Pool bar prices are ridiculous for the area. Was here for a week and room only got cleaned and towels changed once and that was on our second day. Huge shame that Silo which was next door has sold to Thalassa as that was much better, a lot cheaper and overall a much better place. Breakfast can only be described as a joke, you sit down wait 15 minutes until someone gives you a menu then wait another 15 minutes til you receive a drink. Nice place, rooms not as good as advertised, breakfast shambolic, rooms not cleaned enough, overpriced. Shame as great location with some great beach bars within walking distance. And a €6 taxi ride to Argostoli

A perfect holiday in a superb boutique hotel. Last stated 4 years ago and was impressed with how much it has changed. Fab pool area, with plenty of sunbeds and a nice poolside cafe.... lovely food, chilled wine & beer. We picked the White Suite. Such amazing views. All round a perfect break. Call out to the reception team....offered some great restaurant recommendations & always on hand to sort out other bits and pieces. Sad to have left to head home!

Before booking I read some reviews from people who had been given different rooms to the ones they had booked. We thought that if we booked through an agent (Jet2.com) we would get the room we paid for. When we arrived we were told that our room wasn’t available until the next day. Apparently this was due to an electrical fault meaning that the air con in our room wouldn’t be working until the next day. Considering the other reviews on here I don’t believe that for a second. The hotel isn’t very big and we didn’t see any electricians working to fix anything. We had no choice but to spend our first night in one of the older buildings, as bad as has been described by others. It is such a bad way to start your holiday, having to stay in a shoddy room and unable to unpack. The next day our room wasn’t available until 14:00 but we had to vacate the room we had been in by 10:00! The hotel uses a number of different travel agents with different turnover days. This is bound to lead to overlapping bookings on certain days. We overheard another 2 couples being given the same ‘welcome’ during our 2 weeks here. The room we were given for the rest of the stay was ok but not worth the money we paid. It had an adjoining door to the next room, which wasn’t soundproofed. It also had no divider between the other terraces on the ground floor. The hotel does have a spectacular view and looks good in photos but it’s location means that it gets windy in the afternoons. Have to say that the staff at breakfast were excellent.
