King A
A seaside terrace and sea-view balconies on Argostoli's waterfront
About this hotel
King A sits directly on Argostoli's seaside waterfront, its terrace framing both the sea and the mountains beyond in a view most central hotels can't match. The sixteen rooms split into three categories with simple, minimal design, all air-conditioned with free WiFi and flat-screen TVs, while some balconies look over the sea and others over the city, a distinction worth confirming at booking. Extras like a kettle, hairdryer, and in some rooms a Nespresso machine, slippers, and beach towels round out the practical side of the stay. Breakfast is homemade with locally sourced products, and the surrounding area is popular for cycling, with Kalamia Beach 2.2 kilometres away for those who prefer to walk or ride rather than drive.
- Seaside waterfront terrace
- Homemade local breakfast
- Minimal room design
- Cycling-friendly area
Our take
This suits couples and independent travellers who want a genuine waterfront address with a minimal, uncluttered room style rather than heavy decor. The homemade breakfast and cycling-friendly area suit an active, slower-paced stay. Families needing multiple connecting rooms or extensive kids' facilities may find the sixteen-room, boutique-scale property better suited to couples than to larger groups.
- ✓Request a sea-view room specifically, since the three categories split between sea and city outlooks
- ✓Ask about renting a bike locally to make use of the area's cycling routes
- ✓Try the homemade breakfast's locally sourced items rather than skipping breakfast for a café in town
Why we love it
- A genuine seaside waterfront terrace looking over sea and mountains
- Sixteen rooms across three distinct, minimally designed categories
- A homemade breakfast built on locally sourced products
- A location popular with cyclists exploring the wider bay
Why guests love itKing A is a small waterfront hotel, sixteen rooms in all, about 500 metres from central Argostoli. Its terrace looks over the sea and the mountains, breakfast is homemade with local products, and Kalamia Beach is 2.2 kilometres away. It is a boutique-scale property rather than a resort, so it suits families with older children who are happy to walk or cycle into town and to the beach. I would book it for a calm, simple base on Kefalonia.
