Argostoli Essence Suites

A little gem in the heart of Argostoli. Set just a couple of streets back from the main shopping area this lovely modern hotel is a great find. The rooms are clean modern and comfortable. And town is a two minute stroll away. I was very impressed with the hotel it was a little bit of luxury for the start of our holiday. Lovely toiletries for you in the bathroom which I have to say was stunning. Beds very comfy.a small balcony over looking the town mountains and bay. And breakfast was just wow! Fresh delicious and plentiful!

I’m not going to repeat everything which gkace said in the inaugural review for this wonderful hotel, and I agree with all of it, wholeheartedly. The only shame is we got to only stay 2 nights; this is one of my favourite ever hotels; more expensive than we usually stay in but well worthwhile. The bathroom is the most impressive I’ve seen in a hotel, with a cavernous bath, which is rare indeed. Several warnings; as per gkace comments about breakfast - we have big appetites, but if you choose two options from the 4 they suggest , you will get a very large breakfast, choose three and you get a very very large breakfast; choose four, and you’re in man vs food territory! It’s all delicious, but I hate to send back food cause I’ve ordered too much. The other point is about the pool / area; it’s lovely but it’s small; perfect for cooling down after a hot busy day, but not a place you’re going to sunbathe in for hours, if at all. Overall though really loved it !

We were on holiday in Kefalonia and we wanted to move to a location in the southern end of the island around Argostlio. We by fluke came across this property and it literally has just opened a week ago. It’s a small boutique hotel that only has 8 rooms in total. The rooms are beautifully appointed in a contemporary manor. Luxury bedding and linen, high end bathroom fixtures and fittings, Molten Brown bathroom products, a full stocked (free of charge) bar fridge, Nespresso coffee machine, small pool with luxury towels. Breakfast is complementary and what a breakfast it is! You get a menu the day before and you get to pick four selections from the menu (we couldn’t even finish one selection) and you nominate a time to be served…. Tasty made to order breakfast served around the pool area. The staff bent over backwards for every request from a different pillow to a scale to weigh our bags. Location: You can’t ask for a better location minutes walk from the central square and the water front which are full of shops and restaurants. I stay in many 5 star hotels and I genuinely rate this 5 stars. You won’t be disappointed! This is the hotels first review on Trip Advisor and you can tell from my other reviews that I am genuine reviewer. In fact I have created the hotel in TA.
