Michaela

The staff was polite.

The light in the room didn't work, the fridge door wouldn't close and we found cockroaches...

The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay here.

I think that the critical question when talking about accommodation is always something like: Would I choose it again/ suggest it to my loved ones? Considering Michaela's value for money, I find it very low for a number of reasons: The bathroom door cannot open properly, as the toilet bowl gets in the way. Half of the available balcony, which is as poky as the room itself, is occupied by other visitors and there is no such thing as a division in between. The view is really mediocre: A pretty house, hand in hand to a scrap heap to enjoy. (By the way, we had booked a room with sea view, but upon arrival we were given a street and scrap heap view. The owner, of course, pretended he had no idea about that.) Chances to enjoy a good night's sleep are really very low as the mattresses are of the worst quality- soft and lacking stability. If you care to watch a bit of TV before going to bed, better forget it , as their TV, accepting 0 channels, is nothing but a space waster! Last but not least, the return of money policy they ballyhoo, should not be taken into account, as these people are masters of cheaply excusing themselves one way or the other in order to avoid returning the money they owe you!! For all these reasons , it is obvious that I would not make the mistake to choose Michaela again, or suggest it to my loved ones, as the owners appear completely unprofessional.

The property is perfectly located on the beach and close to lots of restaurants and bars and shops. The hotel is run by a husband and wife. Teo the husband went above and beyond to make our first experience in Greece wonderful. He was the kindest, loveliest, perfect host. Nothing was too much trouble. He took me to a medical centre when I was unwell and waited for me and brought me back to the hotel. He took us out when we were unable to get taxis. He took us on a tour of Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia on the way to the airport when we were leaving. He was so kind to us all.

The showering facilities were not the best. The showers need a shower curtain, the bathroom floor ended up flooded after every shower we had. Also it’s not a big deal but we would’ve liked a kettle in the room so we could’ve made hot drinks in the mornings or before bed.
