The Alley Hotel

“The Alley Hotel in Argostoli is a gem”

This hotel and its staff are absolute gems. We have returned on 3 September from having 10 days there. The room is beautifully designed and a really comfortable base for a holiday in Argostoli.

This hotel and its staff are absolute gems. We have returned on 3 September from having 10 days there. The room is beautifully designed and a really comfortable base for a holiday in Argostoli. The staff are super helpful. I can’t think of any negatives at all. The hotel is a stones throw from the sea and ideally situated. We will definitely stay again.

“Great kephalonia experience at the Alley HOtel”

Everything about this hotel was terrific ! the staff was extremely helpful, especially with calling taxis for us - to and from the beach, to and from the film festival.

Everything about this hotel was terrific ! the staff was extremely helpful, especially with calling taxis for us - to and from the beach, to and from the film festival. Breakfast was delicious, and location was great. We were 5 minutes away from boats trips, less than 5 minutes to the central square. The room was spacious and comfortable, the shower was really good, the wi-fi was strong. We will be happy to come again.

“Very modern boutique hotel - would stay again!”

The hotel is just down a street from the port area, some of the rooms enjoy a view of the sea all be it not full 180 degree view! The staff were friendly, would arrange taxis for us and explained all we needed to know. We arrived early so the receptionist checked if our room was ready early! T… more

The hotel is just down a street from the port area, some of the rooms enjoy a view of the sea all be it not full 180 degree view! The staff were friendly, would arrange taxis for us and explained all we needed to know. We arrived early so the receptionist checked if our room was ready early! The room was beautiful, I was in room 102 and the lift was next door. I didn’t hear this once! The room had a king bed, plug sockets at each side, a large shower, a wardrobe area with rails, safety deposit box, balcony, fridge, coffee machine and came with 2 bottles of water in the fridge. The bed was comfy, the room had complimentary soap and a body wash too! Some of the rooms have an extra bed which I wasn’t aware of on the booking. Wasn’t used as I was the only one in my room but very good to know! There was a fitness room, the breakfast was buffet style and could be eaten inside the breakfast room or outside in the shaded garden. The time from the airport to the hotel by taxi is only around 20 mins. Longer on holiday package collections. Would recommend, would stay here again!

“Style over service”

We stayed here for a week in September, the location is very good in the heart of the city. The room we had was OK, the bed was comfortable, our view was of a brick wall.

We stayed here for a week in September, the location is very good in the heart of the city. The room we had was OK, the bed was comfortable, our view was of a brick wall. The service overall was poor, no help with luggage we had to carry 2 big suitcases up the stairs, it was on the 1st floor, however no assistance was offered, was told they had no lift to the 1st floor. If you are unable to walk up stairs with heavy suitcases be aware. The room had "trendy" furniture however not much else, small room, we booked via a tour operator and they advertise the room as a deluxe it is definitely not a deluxe it is a standard room.we were in room 1, avoid this room if you can. No bar or restaurant at all, reception staff were OK, however a lot of the time no-one was at the front desk. We asked for a ln iron and ironing board we were told by reception they only have one full ironing board and one small one and 2 irons, this is a basic expected in a hotel rated as a 4 star. We had to wait for a while approx 40 mins before we got one, which meant we could not go out to eat until we had ironed. Breakfast was average, one morning we were going on a tour and asked for breakfast around 7am before they opened, this was fine to have, they offer buffet breakfast cold food,meats cheeses ,breads, etc. The eggs are made before hand around 7am therefore if you having breakfast an hour later or up to 10am the eggs are cold and not nice to eat. I asked the manager of the hotel if I could have an omelette and it was accommodated the mornings I requested which was appreciated. They have a small gym. We rates the hotel 3 out of 5 as it is not a 4 star in our view. Overall the hotel was clean and the location is great.
