Argostoli Hotel
A family-run hotel two hundred metres from the town's shops
About this hotel
Argostoli Hotel runs as a genuinely family-run operation in the centre of town, its rooms fitted with a fridge, safety deposit box, flat-screen TV, and small work desk, with some opening onto a balcony and most looking over inland views rather than the sea. A homemade breakfast is prepared daily with fresh ingredients and served in a communal dining area with its own bar, a personal touch that fits the family-run character of the place. The 24-hour reception can help arrange car and bicycle rentals, and being three hundred metres from the port and just a kilometre from the beaches of Makris Yialos and Platis Yialos means the location earns its central billing.
- Family-run hospitality
- Central location
- Homemade breakfast
- Near Argostoli Port
Our take
Argostoli Hotel scores 7.7 from about 306 reviews, a fair result on a good sample. Its strengths are a family-run welcome, a central location about 200 metres from shops and restaurants, the port around 300 metres away, the airport six kilometres out, and air-conditioned rooms. I would recommend it to families and couples who want a practical base for exploring Kefalonia by day. Guests who want sea views or a pool should note the rooms face inland and look elsewhere.
- ✓Ask reception about arranging a bicycle rental for the short ride to Makris Yialos or Platis Yialos
- ✓Try the homemade breakfast in the communal dining area rather than a café outside
- ✓Use the safety deposit box in the room during day trips out of town

Why guests love itArgostoli Hotel is a family-run hotel in the centre of Argostoli, about 200 metres from shops, cafe-bars and restaurants, so evening meals with children are a short stroll away. The port is around 300 metres off, handy on ferry days, and Kefalonia Airport is six kilometres out. Rooms are air-conditioned and look inland rather than over the sea. It is a simple, practical address, and I would book it for families who want a central base in Argostoli on a modest brief.
