Kefalonia Grand Hotel in Argostoli 281 00.
Built in 1970 and extensively renovated in 2015, Kefalonia Grand Hotel stands as a restored landmark on Argostoli's main boulevard, combining mid-century architecture with modern hospitality infrastructure.
Originally a traditional Cephalonian establishment, the property underwent comprehensive upgrades to its 86 rooms, event facilities, and dining venues while preserving its classical facade.
Today it operates as a full-service hotel venue with dedicated wedding services and multiple function spaces overlooking the Ionian Sea.
A 5 star review mainly given for the friendly service we received. All of the staff were superb! Welcoming and a fond farewell a week later. Breakfast is SUPERB. A wide variety of goods to suit all palates. Lemon curd mini pies? Yum!! The main menu was not for us. This is not to say it wasn't tasty. It was. Just that when we holiday, we sight see so need a good hearty meal. This main dinner menu caters for those wanting to 'sample' a fine taste. The bar is well stocked with anything you desire. We ended most nights with 'one for the road'. Their Zombie cocktail is...well....strong! Our room was lovely. Very comfortable. BUT...and this is a big BUT from us Brits....no kettle. What!!? No on the house tea or coffee in the room. Sure, you can get a great cuppa downstairs for breakfast but we would have welcomed being able to pour ourselves a hot beverage while we got ready of a morning. Small fridge, safe, hangers, slippers, fresh towels. Two complimentary small bottles of water every day. Bed sheets straightened. Good shower pressure (occasional change of heat while showering but nothing scary) The hotel is well located. Central to all you want to see. Plus it was nice to use as a quick stop to unload and go out again. We had a Grand Time. Thank you!!
