Mirabel CityCenter Hotel
Balcony rooms on the central square, open all year
About this hotel
Mirabel CityCenter Hotel sits directly on Argostoli's central square, one of the few properties in town open all year round rather than closing for the off-season. Rooms stay simple and comfortable, each with a balcony, air-conditioning, and satellite TV, and the top-floor terrace offers views that most ground-level central hotels can't match. Breakfast is served at the lobby mezzanine, and the bar covers drinks and snacks throughout the day, while the spacious lobby lounge with board games and Wi-Fi gives a place to unwind that doesn't require leaving the building. The reception desk can arrange excursions, car and scooter rental, and currency exchange, useful for travellers arriving without a fully planned itinerary.
- On the central square
- Year-round operation
- Top-floor terrace views
- Reception-arranged excursions
Our take
This suits travellers visiting Argostoli outside peak summer, since the hotel's year-round operation is unusual on this list, and anyone who wants to be directly on the main square rather than a few streets away. Couples and solo travellers will appreciate the top-floor terrace views and the practical services arranged through reception. Families needing extensive facilities like a pool or play area should look elsewhere, since Mirabel focuses on location and simplicity rather than resort amenities.
- ✓Ask reception to arrange scooter rental for a flexible way to explore beyond the walkable centre
- ✓Head to the top-floor terrace in the early evening for the best light over the square
- ✓Visit outside July and August if a quieter version of the central square appeals, since Mirabel stays open year-round
Why we love it
- A direct address on Argostoli's central square
- A top-floor terrace with views over the town
- Year-round operation, unusual among comparable central hotels
- Reception services covering excursions, car hire, and currency exchange
Why guests love itMirabel CityCenter Hotel sits on the central square of Argostoli, so families can walk to the port, the shops and the cafés without a car. Rooms are air-conditioned with balconies and satellite TV, and the top-floor terrace gives a view over the town. The hotel stays open year-round, useful for school holidays outside summer. There is no pool or play area, so I would see it as a town base and plan beach days around Kefalonia by car or bus.
