⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Stay at Hotel Tourist We only stayed one night at Hotel Tourist, but it was a great experience. The team was very welcoming and helpful, and the rooms were comfortable and well-kept. The real highlight, however, was the breakfast — absolutely top of the top! For a small hotel, the variety was incredible, with so many freshly baked and prepared items. The coffee was excellent, and the service was just as impressive. It far exceeded our expectations and was the perfect way to kick off our full-day tour. Highly recommended, even if just for a short stay!

2 star Boutique Hotel that should be rated much higher. Location is great, turtle feeding at your front door. Amazing breakfast and great coffee. The staff are polite and friendly and very helpful. The hotel is spotlessly clean. Beds are a little hard but a mattress topper was made available the next morning. GREAT LOCATION.

Amazingly comfortable and gracious hotel, full of extra amenities for a 2-star rated hotel - so fantastic value - much better than many 4-star hotels we’ve stayed at! Very kind and helpful staff from front desk, the bar, restaurant and breakfast services. The included breakfast buffet totally over pleased us with a yummy selection of classic hot and cold dishes with, of course the authentic local Kefalonian hot and cold specialties, pastries, Greek biscuits and other baked items! Limitless barista coffee was the icing on the cake for me❤️
