Kalamata hotellia

Plussat: Facilities

Miinukset: We waited 1.5h for breakfast to be served, the wifi was on and off all the time, food in the pool mediocre. Good infrastructure but very expensive for what is offering

Plussat: Magnificent boutique hotel. Nothing that other boutique hotels that are small. Very clean, really friendly, absolutely safe! All covid measures seem to apply. We highly recommended it

Plussat: Very good hotel just next to the city center. Very good facilities. Good value for money

Miinukset: Cleanliness and staff should be improved a bit in order to be perfect. Just a fruendñy suggestion.

Plussat: Very good and quite location. Excellent facilities. Εverything was wonderful, polite staff and very professional.Nice breakfast, amazing spa!!!

Miinukset: nothing, everything was perfect!!!

Plussat: The room, bed and furniture belonged to a 5* hotel. There was an inconvenient configuration of the bathroom.

Miinukset: The room I booked was named as “see side view” it wasn’t possible to see the sea from any angle of the room. It was possible from the balcony. I’ve stayed there for 3 nights, they didn’t clean my room the second day.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Cleanliness could be improved All facilities were closed Food didn't look very fresh Hotel Staff was nice but not very trained

Plussat: The whole team @ Horizon Blu never rest on their laurels. The outdoor wine & dine facilities have to be experienced by all.

Miinukset: Luv to have a pool bar one day

Plussat: The location is excellent, just a few steps away from the beach. They also offer great breakfast options.

Miinukset: Not as luxurious as I thought it would be for the price. The rooms were a bit dated.

Plussat: The breakfast was ok, not something great but enough choices. The area is great, there is good parking, a basketball court, a playground, tennis court etc so it was fun for our family. The cleaners were very good and polite.

Miinukset: The whole building could do with a light renovation. Some furniture, beds and mattresses as well as flooring have been worn out and need replacing as well as walls and ceilings at some spots need painting.

Plussat: Perfect location for us - quiet. Staff very helpful and obliging. There was nothing to dislike. Obviously we were there at the end of the season so not all facilities were available but we were very happy with our stay and the way we were looked after.

Plussat: Only cross the street to hit the beach. Nice pool. Rooms are bright and clean. Large breakfast buffet. Will need a car to go into Kalamata Centre or jump on bus.

Miinukset: Not what you are looking for if wanted a quiet time. Every night some kind of entertainment / weddings etc. until 2am. Bring your ear plugs!

Plussat: As always a fantastic stay, great staff, great breakfast and great facilities.

Plussat: Location.

Miinukset: The hair dryer is too powerless, it took ages to dry my short hair.

Plussat: Staff were extremely polite

Miinukset: although fresh orange juice was served at breakfast, the quality could be improved

Plussat: The friendly staff & hospitally shown by one & all you made us feel at home even though we were some very far away (Melbourne Australia)

Miinukset: Nothing, although I would recommend you add a Massage service option as an optional extra. As a guide the Le Meridien in Pukhet was an ideal model which offered a total relaxation package.

Plussat: very comfortable beds

Miinukset: Not enough privacy for parents in family room

Plussat: The room was clean and the breakfast was very good

Miinukset: As April is still classed as winter in Greece lots of the restaurants around the hotel were closed. No information about any of the facilities in the hotel, no barman in the bar.

Plussat: With the busstop in front of the hotel, every 15 minutes a possibility to get to Kalamata (20 minutes to walk to the center, along the beach). While situated near the road and boulevard, the sound of the waves is stronger then anything else you hear. Excellent swimwater and breathtaking mountain view. Class and Peloponnesian friendlyness of the staff going perfectly wel together. The hotel kitchen offers mediterranian refinement for reasonable prices.

Plussat: Clean, perfectly refurbished, helpful polite staff.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Nice location and breakfast.

Plussat: Where do I start? The rooms were spacious and modern, the beds were very comfortable. The location is beautiful right next to the Kalamata beach. The dining room and bar on the top floor have a great ambience. Despite visiting off-season, I did not feel that the hotel lacked staff or services

Miinukset: Can't think of anything

Plussat: Excellent location, great breakfast. Highly recommended.

Plussat: Everything very good, especially staff

Miinukset: The bath tubs are too narrow for earthlings.

Plussat: We found the staff to be most helpful, the location great and the breakfasts were satistying!

Miinukset: Everything was great!

Miinukset: Very dated and plain. Furnishings had tears and chips in them.

Plussat: The location and excellent staff. Spacious rooms.

Miinukset: The room decor, fixtures, carpet need serious updating.

Plussat: the beach was across the the road, very easy ascess.

Miinukset: the bottom 3 floors were unrenovated and not fit for occupancy, we complained and were put on the 4th floor which was excellent.

Plussat: Was direct on the promonade

Miinukset: The hotel was being renovated. There was no parking. Publich parking across the street. Kalamati was not the best choice to stay. Some of the smaller villages along the sea, Koroni, Methoni would have been much nicer.

Plussat: The roof top restaurant was excellent, the food and service surpassed my expextations.I would highly recommend anyone going to Athens to go to the restaurant for dinner or host a function.

Miinukset: The lay-out of the room was unusual-the cupboards were blocked by the bed being so close as was the side table. There were no coffee or tea facilities-kettle and cups and the fridge did not have space for drinks to cool well.

Plussat: Great rooms and a huge deack with good views.

Miinukset: Okay inside, but the outside needs some work.

Plussat: It was excellent value fo rmoney. We had two linked rooms and were very pleased by the good standard of fittings and comfort. It is well placed for the beach and only 15 minutes from the airport. The breakfast was also very good and excellent value.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: It was too loud at night because of the bars and night clubs.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Location and setting.also friendly staff

Plussat: Lots of varieties and choices for breakfast! Public bus service in front of hotel, very convenient for excursions.

Plussat: Staff was very helpful and pleasant.

Miinukset: We had a premium room. The air conditioning machine could not be adjusted and was blowing cold air straight on our heads when lying on the bed. There were no toiletries in the bathroom. We had asked for a quiet room and staff did their best but the room was very noisy, with the car park at the back and the noise of the swimming pool at the front (shrieking children all day). The breakfast was very abundant but of very poor quality. This hotel is terrible value for money. If it was 100€ that would be about OK, not 200€!

Plussat: Price was right. Hotel was perfect except for the menu at the pool restaurant. They need better and more native food options.

Plussat: Lovely pool area

Miinukset: Beach very stony.

Plussat: Filoxenia is a conveniently located, baby friendly hotel right on the beach, with spacious grounds. A buffet is available both at lunch and dinner and offers a large variety, with the food quality being quite good, although a bit pricey. There is a local bus connecting the hotel to the center of Kalamata.

Miinukset: The mattresses were not very comfortable, as one could feel every slight motion the other person made. Also, there was a large space between the door and the floor, which allowed light and sound to enter from the corridor.

Plussat: Tasteful hotel with a fantastic garden. The location is the best you can find in Kalamata: at the end of the city's very long beach, away from the noise of the city (night-clubs and cars/motorbikes which can be an issue in other hotels) but not far for the city (a few minutes by car/bus and a nice walk if you like it).

Plussat: Best location in Kalamata, very friendly and helpful staff, lovely room

Miinukset: The beds were really hard.

Plussat: great view, nice pool, nice beach. People was kind and everything was okay. we stayed for 1 night only.

Plussat: the pool and beach

Miinukset: too many people at meal times

Plussat: Great relaxing hotel. Great facilities, friendly and helpful staff. Beach is a step away, get to it early and book a cabana for just 10 euros a day.

Miinukset: We added an extra day and had to move in standard room, suggest you book the superior room.

Plussat: Great facility for children and greatly located.

Miinukset: The restaurant needs to have a menu change, it's not enticing or child friendly.

Plussat: Location of the hotel and vicinity of services(restaurant,pool,beach.excllent bar beach service and very reasonable prices.

Miinukset: The beach umbrellas are too small even for 2 and the material of the umbrella needs to be changed as allows the sun o get through. i've seen a lot of guests placing the towels above the umbrellas to be protected by the sun!!!!

Plussat: The size of the room. The breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: The price is too high. The hotel hardly corresponds to 4* let alone 5*

Plussat: Rooms are large and bright. Facilities good. Location wonderful.

Miinukset: Everything is not quite ready yet. Hotel is making a step up in class.

Plussat: The quality of the facilities and the service were excellent. Plenty of space, good pool and easy access to beach and to town centre.

Miinukset: The buffet meal on arrival was poor and the menu through the week looked very limited. We chose not to dine there. Breakfast was good.

Plussat: A very nice ambiente and a prime location, great room.

Miinukset: Staff at restaurant could be a bit more friendly and service better organized

Plussat: A very accomodating and helpful staff.

Miinukset: There could be more information for non-Greek tourists about the sights and events around the Kalamata area.

Plussat: Breakfast , sea view , balcony , bed, cleaning

Miinukset: The bathroom design , no curtain .

Plussat: Breakfast, location but one needs car.

Miinukset: Unexpected noise from a wedding reception.

Plussat: Very comfortable bed Amazing view from the room balcony Friendly and helpful staff at the reception

Miinukset: Breakfast was too small with not very fresh food The pool was full with people who were not residents of the hotel At the pool bar we got charged for two bottles of water that we didn't order

Plussat: Probably the best view over the bay of Kalamata! Spectacularly nestled on the eastern mountain range, in a very quiet neighbourhood. Roosters and distant dog bark...A few minutes by car from the center. The hotel is tastefully decorated, large rooms with high ceilings and large balconies. The pool is at restaurant level and changes colour..The restaurant serves excellent food, typically Greek size portions...Very happy with the staff, most helpful and friendly. All in all a lovely experience!

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: Location, confortable beds,good AC, on the beach The owner is helpful is you ask for tips in the city.

Miinukset: Overall the rooms could be cleaner Sometimes hard to explain things since staff speaks Basic English.

Plussat: Location on the beach

Miinukset: Floor was dirty

Plussat: It was ok

Miinukset: It was old hotel.

Plussat: Convenience, ample public (free) parking, excellent sea-view and balkony!!! Very good food next to premises!!! Very quite place. My best regards to the owner, Thanassis

Plussat: Outside areas were beautiful, views and location fantastic. Pool and beach fantastic

Miinukset: Just a little run down. Stair cases were marble, floors of hall ways plastic flooring material, broken and generally in need of a make over, hall windows and walls dirty and also in need of a general make over. . Bathroom of the suite spacious and with Jacuzzi, yet moldy at connection with wall

Plussat: The views

Miinukset: A little tired

Plussat: Staff reception

Miinukset: Extremely disappointed to learn only on arrival that the restaurant was closed even though it had offered a meal for €16 in the evening whicy was not available with no local facilities nearby. The pool and its facilities were also not available although again it was deacrived as o0n. The breakfast was mediocre at best and both days we had booked. Really very disappointed.

Plussat: Stuff is excellent. Property territories is very good. Breakfast is very good. Sea is excellent, but a lot of stones...

Miinukset: A little bit noisy in the night, because car.

Plussat: Amazing view, private beach, very friendly staff

Miinukset: Small bed, hard mattress

Plussat: Awesome pool and private pebble beach! Such a surprise! They don’t push this as the huge bonus it is. Also has pool and beach service. Room very nice, magnificent view from good balcony, clean and very comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Distance from Kalamata town, but facilities and the great water quality outweigh that!

Plussat: The view

Miinukset: The hotel was in refurbishment mode and at Saturday night thre was a wedding reception at the veranda!It was very noisy

Plussat: location, great sea view, clean room, good Wi Fi, parking, private beach, free sunbeds, bar service

Miinukset: noisy wedding parties are organised during weekends, poor breakfast (no vegetables ! in Greece ! could you imagine ?), more smile at the reception desk

Plussat: staff was in general very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: my car was blocked/hindered twice, same goes for hotel entrance and ramp. maid refused to bring hangers and balcony was never cleaned. baby cot was smaller than regular. heating had to be requested each time/night. in general it loss in details.

Plussat: The hotel is not special and is in the road. Fair breakfast, comfortable rooms. The good thing is that all the rooms face the sea.

Miinukset: Very noisy people at night and no staff to look for it.

Plussat: it is a quite hotel a bit away from the city of kalamatas.You will see very beautifull sunsets!

Miinukset: the place that excists the hotel is not very good for swimming at the see althugh there is a swimming pool

Plussat: Entrance lobby was worthy of a 4-star hotel, bed comfortable. Location, although noisy (see above) had great views across the bay and there were lots of restaurants serving good food right by the sea opposite the hotel.

Miinukset: Location was very noisy - particularly in the evening and up to one or two in the morning when the local "yoof" were out on their motorbikes with their silencers unsilenced or their cars with music at full volume. Not the hotel's fault obviously, but ruined the quiet drink on the balcony. We travelled near the end of the season and the room, although not dirty, was ready for a deep clean. Breakfast was adequate, coffee lousy. Extremely loud and discordant church bells almost next door!

Plussat: Great room bigger than expected. Oceanview perfect

Miinukset: Right next to church. Although pretty the church rings it’s bells quite loudly. Room is not very sound proof so even with doors closed could still hear the card from the 4th floor. Breakfast was average.

Plussat: Location excellent, had a balcony room with a view facing the ocean. Breakfast was ok. .

Miinukset: Coffee could have been better. Eggs were not fresh.

Plussat: Staff were great Location excellent

Miinukset: Room size - small for single person but great balcony with exceptional views of bay and hills

Plussat: Its closeness to the airport & the price. If we had required a view no doubt we could have upgraded to a better room, at a higher cost.

Miinukset: The pillows were hard & lumpy,but we are used to having the choice of feather pillows at accommodation. The room was basic & utilitarian but we only stayed for 1 night to be close to Kalamata airport. For the money it was acceptable, but we would not choose this hotel for a long stay, although those wishing to stay in Kalamata would find its location close to the beach & very convenient for tavernas. The breakfast was noisy due to a large coach party of Greek pensioners dominating the breakfast area. We had to sit upstairs which was not very convenient for the buffet, but it had a beautiful view & was quiet!

Plussat: Across street from beach, basic rooms but very clean. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: Parking is difficult generally in the area , not fault of hotel, generally kalamata is very crowded in summer

Plussat: Nice pool area, good breakfast, beautiful resort area with private beach accross the road

Miinukset: Small shower corner

Plussat: nice room, good pool, very good sunset bar

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Very good breakfast, full of everything. Nice room, most comforts were in. Overall good. Helpful and friendly staff.

Miinukset: (a) we were told during check-in that we have been upgraded to room with sea view. Nice surprise but when we went in the room, the sea could be seen only when looking sideways, so not truly a sea-view room. They raised expectations that didn't meet for no reason at all. (b) Also there were 2 very silly steps in the room so you had to go up two steps to go to and from the bathroom - again for no reason at all. Finally I saw no reason to be asked to complete a page full of personal data like e.g. my birthday, for checking in, totally useless.

Miinukset: Came to a hotel that a first looked nice, and from there the problems started. Got a room with a broken toilet, a fridge that soaked the whole floor and a bed with the metal spring sticking out. Had to fix the toilet myself so at least I could flush it a little bit. Wiped the floors from the leaking fridge myself and had to sleep 2 people on one side of the bed ... We notified the staff but nothing was done and next day at check out when I told them again they still expected full pay! The only positive thing in this hotel was the service minded and hardworking pool bar guy ! The first time I ever had to write such negative review in Greece ! Thank god this is not the norm in Greece !

Plussat: This place was a real surprise, get location outside of the City but worth the drive to get to this excellent resort. Its relativley new and the amenities are fantastic.

Miinukset: I think that maybe some of the staff could have been friendly and more helpful given its such a luxury resort. Chris was excellent! They should invest in some new hair dryers !

Plussat: Extremely nice personell. Very nice pool and a good restaurant. The breakfast was great and everything was good! Very reasonable priced!

Miinukset: Without a rental car it is quite off the rest of kalamata (we have small kids). There is a good bus connection though!

Plussat: Good hotel for those who wants to travel in mountains and swim in the sea in the same day. Very good breakfast, friendly staff. Kalamata is too populated city, this country side is much better. Room was warm and comfortable. Resume: Beautiful hotel, I would stay there my next visit in Greece.

Miinukset: We saw the rooms in boongalow - it proved to be cold and with poor design.

Plussat: The hotel had a quiet relaxed atmosphere and it was set in beautiful surroundings. The staff were very friendly and quietly efficient. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, and the grounds of the hotel were immaculate.

Plussat: Very helpful and friendly staff. Nice garden and pool.

Miinukset: No rug on the floor and no slippers offered - disappointing for a 4* resort and bad for our health. Also not many choices for breakfast.

Plussat: The view, could not get tired of that view, breathtaking! Also liked the infiniti pool, gourmet dining with good prices, the peaceful isolation and the uncrowdedness of this unique and wonderful establishment. Finally I cant fail to mention the exceptional service of the staff up and down the line.

Plussat: Good and friendly service, nice location and environment

Miinukset: Shading was not provided in the parking area

Plussat: Siisteys, uima-allas, aamiainen

Miinukset: Huoneistoissa voisi olla keittomahdollisuus.

Plussat: Hotellin kokonaissunnittelusta (asiakkaan näkökulmasta!), että oli rakennettu huolellisesti ja kunnon materiaaleista, siisteydestä ja henkilökunnan ystävällisyydestä ja avuliaisuudesta, hyvästä aamiaisesta

Plussat: The beach (it is small but remarkable) and its attached bar: a magnificent view on the gulf. The breakfast had a very large choice and was served on a beautiful balcony.

Miinukset: Some people in the staff were not very friendly; the rooms, although quite comfortable, did not match the overall luxury.

Plussat: The pool

Miinukset:

Plussat: We stayed for four nights in a standard room. The room was clean, but nothing fancy. The hotel has well kept grounds and a has very nice pool. We liked the location of the hotel, it was 10 min to the city and away from the traffic and noise.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The staff and facility are really nice. The grounds are beautiful with view of the sea to the front and mountains behind the resort. The hotel is close enough to Kalamata to go in for dinner yet far enough away to feel like a resort town.

Miinukset: Our beds were very firm and not very comfortable.

Plussat: hotel staff.service and the location

Miinukset: the small size of the bathroom

Plussat: Breakfast was great and the hotel staff was very courteous and helpful with any needs. We will always go back to the same hotel in Kalamata.

Plussat: Loved the staff who were very helpful. The location was outstanding.

Miinukset: Thought the room could have been cleaner but it was still fine.

Plussat: location was excellent but there is lots of noise

Plussat: Everything, personal, room, view and of course the town. The personal was very, very nice, the room have a sea side view, very clean and warm for december. Town, quiet streets, except center full of life after 18.00. I definitly will come back!

Miinukset: Nothing to say here. Everything was on the plan, smooth and clean.

Plussat: Näköala oikein hyvä. Rento ja siisti hotelli. erittäin hyvä sijainti rannalla ja mukava kävelymatka keskustaan. Vaate- ja muita liikkeitä lähettyvillä runsaasti..

Miinukset: Aamiainen huono. Mehut ja kahvi ala-arvoisia...yksi juusto- ja leikkelelajike (sama joka päivä). Kananmunat keitetty edellisenä iltana ja lämmittämisen jälkeen mustuneet (minulle merkittävä asia). Ei jogurttia..samat kaksi leipälajiketta aina... Likaisten astioiden poiskorjaaminen alkeellista...helpompi kun teki asian itse ja pyyhki vielä pöydän myös itse.. Uskomatonta, huoneissa verhot, tuolinpääliset ja taulut samasta ankean punertavanruskeasta vanhanaikaisesta kankaasta...

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and positive. I also liked the location.

Miinukset: breakfast above expectations. no parking area available

Plussat: Great staff, Nikos and Maria, were great both nights we stayed I

Miinukset: Balcony had a fish net to protect construction work happening on the 2nd floor, blocked a lot of our view whilst sitting outside.

Plussat: Hotelli erinomaisella paikalla rannan läheisyydessä ja bussilinja keskustaan kulki aivan hotellin edestä. Huone ja aamiainen olivat ihan OK. Huoneessa iso parveke merelle päin, joten hyvät näköalat. Henkilökunta ystävällistä ja tulivat tervehtimaan johtajaa myöten.

Miinukset: Ravintolatoiminta ei ollut kovin aktiivista ilmeisesti sesongin loppupuolella.

Plussat: The friendly and professional attyof the staff

Plussat: Very nice setting and ambiance, great rooms and outdoor/pool area, tasty breakfast.... but most of all an always smiling and helpful Georgina who made us feel at home from the very first moment after arrival. Huge thanks for everything. We will for sure return.

Plussat: An exceptional experience, and hotel staff who were helpful far beyond the call of duty. We had stayed in October 2018 so knew what to expect, and were not disappointed. Our stay of 12 days was spread over 4 bookings, and I have already provided a review, prompted by the first booking. this hotel is a haven, off the beaten tourist traps, but readily accessible to the beaches and tavernas and other attractions of the area, which I know well, having had a holiday house a few kilometres away. I would not want to stay anywhere else in the area.

Plussat: The location was tranquil, green and beautiful. Upon arrival, the owner took my suitcase and showed me my room. Very friendly staff (Giorgia), ample parking at the location, everything was really excellent! I will definitely come again. I have great memories about staying at Anaxo!

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike!

Plussat: Delightful location off the beaten track but easily acessible. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pleasant pool with poolside bar and snaçks. Comfortable bed and well equipped room. A real find.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staying at Anaxo felt more like a stay with the best people in your own family. It was a luxury experience, incredible value, and the best service we have received anywhere in the world. No exaggeration.

Miinukset: Delicious home-made breakfast, poolside drinks, sunset view across to the sea. And the location near the best beaches, ports and small towns in the Mani. Ummmm.... What's not to like?!

Plussat: We have already done a review for our first stay. Very good breakfast, plenty of it.

Miinukset: Nothing. All good from start to finish.

Plussat: - nice breakfast - friendly and caring staff - great location (several tavernas, beach, bus stop) - spacious room - comfy bed

Miinukset: - cleaner aren't working fine - the room could be cleaned better - the air conditioner could be cleaned more frequently (we saw dust in both inn our room, downstairs and upstairs)

Miinukset: Staff were very polite and helpful

Plussat: Perfect location, on the sea front, very close to Kalamata city center and to the motorway. Comfortable, spacious, clean room, ideal for families traveling with children. Parking on the site. Very friendly staff.

Plussat: The hotel was well taken care of and the staff (especially Mixali) was extra caring. We loved the pool area and enjoyed freshly squeezed orange juice there. A very pleasant stay. We’ll definitely go again.

Miinukset: The Wi-Fi was very weak in our room, perhaps because it was near the back of the hotel.

Plussat: Hotel opposite beach. Only 20mins from kalamata by car. 1hr to stoupa by car. Taverners in village good. Very relaxing not many English tourist mainly Greek. Hotel excellent nice pool staff amazing nothing to much trouble. Towels provided by hotel for beach

Miinukset: Not a lot at nite. Need a car if you want to explore as only few taveners. Pebble beach.nearest supermarket 20mins walk or 5mins by car

Plussat: Copious amounts of food, and delicious yogurt for breakfast, plus tea, coffee and orange juice. We loved the spinach pie! Nice, large shower cubicle in our room, and spacious, comfortable bed. And there was a cafe on the beach belonging to the hotel where we could sunbathe and relax in sun or shade.

Miinukset: Nothing to criticise, everything was fine. Do not expect a sandy beach, though. It's stony, and you need beach shoes to walk in comfort on it. Lovely clear sea, warm in October, once you get in.
