John Boumis

The hotel has excellent positioning. The staff is exceptionally polite. The only drawbacks are the smell the hotel had. It was like they had problems with their sewer and the rooms do not have quilt only old fashioned blankets.

Came to visit the spa and receive a 60 minute massage as well as access to their pool and sauna spaces. The spa area is simply lovely, extremely relaxing, very modern, and the staff members were so kind. We were guided through an extremely relaxing experience and were able to voice our problem areas and have them attended to throughout the massage. 100% recommend coming here whether you are a hotel guest or just visiting the Argostoli area and in need of a little relaxation during your stay!
