Kefalonitis Hotel Apartments

Stayed for one week, end of season, basic accommodation with nice pool, quiet bar & food area in a great location. Enjoyed newly created coastal boardwalk extending from Venus Beach to the harbour, with beach bar to enjoy the sunsets. We picked up the boardwalk from the nearby Elysium Hotel, 40 mins walk to harbour. Enjoyed O’Neils bar (great service & *****ni cocktails) Fat Mama’s (huge portions & entertainment) Karlinas (lovely authentic food & staff) Martelli’s & last night delicious evening meal at Duomo. Loved the fun & entertainment on offer at the Damon hotel apartments (can call in & pay for drinks at poolside bar if not staying) and same at Kefalos Beach village. We apparently missed the some great nights at Pitstop, recommended by other tourists, will try next time. Best wishes to Ted, the night porter for good late night chats! Would stay at same venue again.

First time to Kefalonitis Hotel Apartments, in fact to Cyprus, and we were a bit apprehensive after reading the mixed reviews. Following a late night arrival, we were greeted by Ted, who quickly checked us in and then showed us to our rooms, carrying one of the heaviest cases up to the first floor apartment, before showing us how everything worked and leaving to show the rest of our party to their room in another block, but before he left, he said the bar was open if we wanted a drink (nearly 1am now). We left our cases in the apartment, and went back downstairs and around the pool to the bar, where Ted returned a few minutes later, and the rest of our party joined us shortly after. Fantastic start, and that is how the rest of the holiday went. The hotel is (in our opinion) in a great location - close to numerous bars and restaurants, and within 15-20 minutes walking distance to supermarkets, shopping centre, Tombs of the Kings and the harbour. We had no issues with any of the staff, Lilli manning the bar during the day, Dimitris during the evening, and Ted taking the graveyard shift (his wife also did a few stints in the bar as well). The owner Nicos was always polite, yet I can see why people may have felt he was arrogant as he kept himself to himself, but if you make the effort to acknowledge and speak to him, he always responded politely. His wife always greeted us with a smile, and took time to speak to us every time we went out or came back. Travelled with Jet2, and Cheryl the rep always walked around, giving ample opportunity for holidaymakers to talk to her, and was wonderful when our 7 month old grandson fell off the bed and we needed to get him to a hospital to be checked over. Every time she came to the hotel, she would come and find us to see how he was. Nicos and his wife also asked about him every time we met them, and asked if there was anything could do to help. We also had a couple of young lads that thought it was funny knocking on doors and running away, whilst their parents went for drinks outside of the hotel. When this was reported to Nicos, he said he had been accused of being rude when he had tried to bring it to the attention of the parents, so I spoke to Cheryl, who in turn brought it to Maria's (Nicos's daughter) attention, and appropriate action was taken (threats of being kicked out). A pity some think it is ok for young lads to be left to do what they want. at the expense of others. The only downside of the accommodation was the usual around the pool these days - the reservation of sunbeds early in the morning and then being left unused until mid afternoon, and the number of people playing ball games in the pool (without regard for others using the pool, including young children and babies). Although there were signs around the pool indicating this was not allowed, it was not enforced. Overall, you get what you pay for, yet we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks at the Kefalonitis, and would definitely go back.

Stayed here for a week, spacious room, comfy beds. Good wifi, clean, helpful staff, Great view of the sea from our balcony. Good position off the main road but near to most needed things. Good bus route, close to the airport. Blackout curtains so we wasn't woke by the lovely sunshine we had.

Good value for money apartments, very clean spacious room & well equipped. A bit dated & worn but that didn’t bother us. Nice outdoor pool with a lot of sun beds - no fighting for beds in the morning. Close to shops & restaurants, but they are on the side of a dual carriageway! Most people didn’t seem to mind but the harbour is only about a 20 minute walk away, which is a much more pleasant area to eat & drink. The main bar street is also quite close to the harbour. There is a beach area about 10 minutes away, or you can take a bus to Coral Bay. Also, Tomb of the Kings is just about a 10 minute walk away. All in all, not a bad place.

Another great holiday in Paphos staying at the Kefalonitis Hotel Appartments, our 4th time. Located within walking distance of some fantastic restaurants and bars, Laterna, Vasileon 31 & Karlinas (best mousaka ever) to name a few. Greeted by the wonderful Ted, he is such a sweetheart. I had to wait a day to see my favourite person, Ted's lovely wife Helen. They are so welcoming & friendly & have become great friends to us. Was nice to catch up with people we've made friends with over the years staying there too. All the staff are fantastic & a credit to Nikos, the owner. All friendly & helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Whilst not a 5 star this place is great clean & tidy & clearly upgrades are on going as our apt had a shiney new bathroom, looks great! Rooms are cleaned daily, towels sheets etc., except Wednesday & Sundays. Apts are stocked with all you need should you wish to cook, shudder, not what I go on me hols to do, ha ha! New sunbeds this year and some are slightly higher, good for those of us with a dodgey back. A new addition this year was a Life Guard, he was in attendance every day at the pool, this is a good thing & he performed his duties admirably. So thank you Nikos & all at the Kefalonitis, another great experience which will keep us coming back year after year.

We have just returned from another brilliant holiday at the Kef this time for our daughters wedding. The apartments are all clean and all the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. So many lovely bars and restaurants to visit within walking distance but we also love a visit to the old town especially Muse and Noir. Already counting down to next years visit

Just returned from a 2 week holiday with family and friends. And yet again had the best time. The rooms are perfect for self-catering everything you need and cleaned daily no complaints at all. Then there's the amazing staff from the management to the charming Ted the night porter nothings a problem with him. Then the lovely wife Helen who helps in the bar with dimetri who are also great and make everyone feel very welcome. Then there's lilly through the day whom is always cheery smiling singing and dancing also attentive. We have been going here 24 years now with family and friends and won't be going anywhere else. Thanks kefalonitis for another fab holiday see you all next year 🥰

Arrived just after midnight,check in was very quick and painless. Got a hand with our bags to our room which had wonderful views of the hills surrounding Paphos All the staff couldn't do enough for us during our stay,very friendly and professional The pool was amazing and never got busy with plenty of sun loungers surrounding it The car hire opposite is great we hired a car for 3 days for 110 euros There is plenty of lovely restaurants within a five minute walk Tramps and Farmhouse were our favourites The Harbour is a 30 minute walk and so is the Old Town both worth a visit The only downside is some of the rooms the furniture is a bit dated scratched but that is our only complaint Couldn't fault the whole holiday experience Holiday lounge Lutterworth Jet2 holidays And everyone who works and stayed at the hotel apartments Thank you

Just returned home from the kef and as usual had an amazing time, the delight when we turn up there and see all the friendly faces is just lovely both staff and returning guests. The staff are super friendly with children and you can tell they are very family orientated. Clean rooms with everything you need for a self catering holiday . More memories made, see you next year
